My son was going down the road about 60 miles an hour when a big deer came out in front of him. He jammed on his brakes skidding but still hit the deer totaling the car. Not one of the airbags came out. He went forward hitting his upper body and face on the steering wheel. He had his seat belt on. The police were called to the accident.

After about 10 seconds the directional came on and smoke came out of the steering column as well as a stream of smoke out of the hazard lights button on the steering column. I shut the directional off and the smoke stopped and cleared away. I proceeded to my destination which was about 100 yards away not using the directional again. I called my dealership where I purchased the...

In my 2001 ford escape xlt both front headlights have lost their seals, at separate times without any damange to the vehicle having occurred, and water enter the light compartment, difusing the headlight and necessitating about $300 in replacement costs, each.

The driver side headlight went around june 2004 and the passenger side one just broke.

The overhead map lights in the front of the vehicle do not come on when the driver door is opened. The center and back dome lights come on and then fade, however, there isn't enough light in the front of the vehicle to see to put the key in without manually turning on the map light. I have 2 friends who have the same year model, and their map lights come up. When I contacted the dealer, he said a change in wiring was made to their vehicles and would gladly charge me $300 to fix mine. I live in alaska where 6...
