I was just parking my car in a spot in my parking lot in front of my apartment. All of a sudden my car took at a fast speed. I could not stop it. I went over two curbs and hit a tree. Finally it stopped. Now it may be totalled. I looked up the recall of this car, and it said my car has a problem that could cause the engine and power brakes to fail while driving. My insurance company thinks it is my fault, but I think this proves differently. Please advise. I never got a notice about this recall. I could have been killed if my car hit the tree head on. thanks, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

car failed to accelerate then lost power then stopped running. my app gave me these messages occupant classification system module is present but not configured, airbag warning is on due to electrical issue with vehicle and poertrain malfunctio powertrain fault. After turning the car off an disabling auto start stop the vehicle got me home. but due to the airbag issue my app advised me to not drive the vehicle. 2 months ago the auto start stop failed to restart and car would not automatically recrank. i usually turn auto start stop off due to the failure to auto restart. I did not disable the auto start stop today until i had had ghe acceleration and power failure.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Ecosport. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving on the highway at approximately 70 MPH, there was a mattress on the road. The contact stated that the vehicle in front of her stopped to pull the mattress off the roadway causing the vehicle behind her to crash into the rear of her vehicle. As a result of the impact, it caused her to rear-end the vehicle in front that was removing the mattress off the road. The contact stated that the foot air bag did deploy, however, the upper airbag did not deploy. The contact stated that to her knowledge the passenger in the first vehicle sustained minor injuries, however medical attention was not called or needed for anyone involved in the crash at the time. The contact stated the police were called at the time, however since no one was in need of medical attention, a police report was not made. The contact stated that she then had her vehicle towed to a tow yard where it remains awaiting to be towed to a junkyard, as the vehicle was totaled. The contact stated that she then contacted the manufacturer who advised there was nothing that could be done. The failure mileage was 30,000.

My wife and daughter were involved in a car accident on March 14 2018, they got hit pretty good in all angles of the car. The car was declared total loss. My concern is.. why, any of the air bags on the car deployed " none of the airbags, even the ones on the sides, went off. I called my local dealer ship, they told me the car needs to be crash in the front area in order to deploy. Here comes my concern, is that a good safety system for this vehicle" I am now going to try to get another vehicle since iam without one right now. The vehicle was going approximately at 60 miles when this happened, it happened in the highway. The other driver was at fault. Police report states it.
