My 07 ford fusion suddenly loses all brake pressure. It took over a year at ford for them to figure out it was the ABS module, it was seem to be a unheard of problem. Scary and had almost cost my life a few times. So I would not be surprised if there was a mechanical problem like you stated. Could have been a combination of factors all at the same time that caused it. But good thing your okay and its great to see that you are trying to learn

Pictures would have been nice, but I doubt that any of the marks would have persisted as other traffic used the ramp. It would have taken a good bit of "presence of mind" to have snapped them immediately after the incident before anything else had driven there.

^ This. Why has only one person noticed that the tires are pointing different directions? The minor hit to the barricade (on the drivers side) did not break that tie rod/steering rack. Steer tires pointing different directions would very easily cause a spin. |

I noticed the front wheels, but can't eliminate the thought that if one or both left front lower links bent or buckled that the left wheel could move straight inward. This would push the rack internals to the right without necessarily disturbing the rack's shell or its attachment to the chassis . . . and still steer the right front tire as shown. An inch or more at the tierod is a significant amount of steering, and this would have been accompanied by the steering wheel being jerked as if being suddenly steered right by unseen hands. Expecting firedruish to specifically recall this happening might be a bit much.

It took another hour for the tow to show which is how I know that the State Patrol officer was unable to take pics of the skid marks. He showed me his camera for work... the road is black and shinny with no skid marks. Insurance adjuster and shop confirmed that rear tires where completely locked and not turning based on the road rash the rim and tires have on them |

40 holding break while downshifting to 1st won't cause a "compression slide". I've done it at 70mph and it will lock trust me not 40... Money shifted it luckily I didn't crash and didn't break anything. 1st gear can rev these cars far past 50mph and your trying to say the op caused a compression lock of his rear tires that's not the case.

FWIW, I learned a long time ago that compression braking in a lower gear can result in the tail wanting to pass the front on a downgrade if conditions are slippery enough - and that's even being in that lower gear to begin with, and having only about 230 cubic inches of low-compression inline 6 for "engine braking" (Brockton, MA, circa 1966). Throw in a poorly rev-matched downshift to a low-grip downhill situation and a momentary partial lockup of the drive tires is virtually guaranteed. Calling BS is to deny that somebody just might understand the physics behind it all better than you do, and/or has direct experience with the situation as well. That kind of disbelief is not well-placed and could ultimately become self-defeating. Norm |
