| My name is dale head and my wife and i were injured in a rollovermy name is dale head and my wife and i were injured in a rollover accident in my 1999 ford f-350 super duty powerstroke. the accident occurred april 20th,on my driveway due to a failure with the power steering / brake assist pump. the truck was totaled and my wife sustained a severe neck strain and missed five weeks of work. we reported the accident to ford the week of april 22. our insurance company has retained the services of a traffic accident engineer, and we are working to negotiate a settlement with ford.since i have begun to research the problem with the power assist, i have learned of another accident caused by the same design flaws in the ps/pb pump. in my case the pump failed completely leaving me without any assist in brakes or steering, and due to the fact that i was approaching a switchback that drops at an 18% grade i selected an embankment to stop the vehicle, causing the rollover. i called the nhtsa today, 8/17, after finding out about your website. i read the comments from nhtsa action #ea00017 that showed the investigation closed 7/29 (two weeks ago) with no recall # it seems there is no more information readily forthcoming from the nhtsa. i would like to find out about your findings and give you more information as well. please contact me @ (530) 273-2329 or via email @ mindwind@ix.netcom.com y mailing address is | |||
