In march 2020, ford issued a safety recall of my vehicle for toe link failures, and offered to fix the car in the third quarter. This did not come soon enough for me! On may 28, I was driving north on wisconsin ave in bethesda, md near the intersection with woodmont. Abruptly, my left rear toe link failed and I lost control of the car and swerved into another lane. Fortunately I was only going about 35 MPH and there were no vehicles in the other lane.
