I was driving about 55 MPH on 15-501 highway on route to unc hospital. When all of a sudden, my truck went totally out of control for no reason and my then 4 yr old and I had a terrible accident. The truck was totaled. We were both in seat belts. She was belted in her car seat in the back and I in the front drivers side upside down the airbags never deployed! We were thought to be dead at first until my daughter started crying. We were rushed to unc hospital in chapel hill for cuts and contusions. At that time, I had no major pain, but now, I can hardly walk sometimes because of the way the truck landed in the embankment upside down hanging twisted in my seat belt .we were lucky not to have died but now after 3 years I am in constant leg, hip and back pain that I know was due to this accident. Now what? My legs go numb all the time and I cannot even bend my back half the time due to this.

1. The front engine cover gasket on my 1997 ford f-150 was defective. There was a recall at one time on this problem but was checked by a ford dealer and nothing was found to be wrong. Approximately 6 months later it had to be replaced. Because the recall had expired ford would not replace it for free and so I had to have it replaced at my cost of $600.00. 2. Air bags and seat belt restraints. My wife had a wreck in the same vehicle and the air bags did not deploy or did the seat belts lock up like they are supposed to. I tried to get ford to explain to me why that would happen and they said the insurance company would have to handle it. The problem was still not solved. Also the ABS did not work.
