The contact called on behalf of a 2019 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while he was driving his 2017 Kia Rio at 10-20 MPH, and approaching a red traffic light, the 2019 Ford Expedition that was driving approximately 60 MPH crashed into the rear of the contact's vehicle. The contact sustained neck and head injuries and was transported to the hospital by ambulance. The contact was informed that the injuries had aggravated the contact's underlying spinal injury.
Factory oem headlights including hi-beams, low-beams, drls and fog lights are outdated and totally inferior to current led/hid headlights. Visibility is not up to par whatsoever. Definite safety hazard. Very disappointed. This car should have standard LED daylight running strips, high-beams, low beams, and fog lights. Ford should update this on all 2018 and newer expeditions
