Rollover Accident

Snowy road conditions made driving a little challenging. Rounding a curve at a posted speed of 30 MPH, I was slowing down on a country road to get to that speed. I went off the berm and lost control…into the ditch and into a farmer’s field. According to witnesses, I rolled over 3 or 4 times. My side airbags deployed. The Escape was totaled. I had minor cuts and bruises. Went to the Emergency room and released a few hours later. A few days later, I visited the same dealership I purchased the Escape, to buy another Ford Escape, They didn’t have any, so I bought a Mercury Mariner. When the salesman asked why I wanted another small SUV, I told him, I wouldn’t be here today if had any other vehicle. Of course I was wearing my seat belt. And, I am very happy with my new Mercury Mariner. Walt Stemen

I am 4'11" and have a hard time reaching the pedals, in order to drive, I have to move the seat close to the steering wheel risking an airbag injury in case of an accident. I have driven Fords all my life, my first car was a Mustang. Because of having to stretch to reach the pedals I now have hip issues (I'm 50 now); fortunately you have the technology, but only use on limited models. It would be great if you made this more available for those of us who need this technology. I currently drive an Escape and am interested in the 2013, however I've been told this adjustable pedals are not available. There are many of us that this would benefit.
