       Ford Escape Roof Failure & Rollovers

    Ford Escape rollover accidents happen routinely across Ameica. The problem with these small SUV's is that they are designed with a short wheel base and narrow track width which can make theses small SUVs rollover prone especially when the driver is faced with a sudden highway avoidance steering or braking procedure, quick lane changing, faced with a tire failure or blowout. The roofs of these SUV's can collapse and crush with the sudden absorption of energy form a rollover. The metal in the SUV roof is undersized and too thin allowing it to bend over, flex and even break under pressure. The welding of the roof and supports can fail at the welds allowing movement  important safety supports, seatbelts, door locks and even airbags and other defects.
