I was stopping at a stop sign at the corner of rosedale & gwynns falls, baltimore maryland when I was struck in the rear by a mini van. The impact was very hard,the 2007 experdition I was driving suffered little damage,but the mini van looked to be a total loss. I suffered head,neck and back injuries.

The contact stated that the vehicle stalled while driving. The contact also stated that the fuel filter was corroded. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who diagnosed that the fuel tank was delaminating and as a result, the fuel tank and fuel lines needed to be replaced.
While parked on an incline with the parking brake applied, the vehicle slipped out of gear and rolled backwards. The contact parked the vehicle again to make sure that it had actually been in park with the parking brake applied. The failure recurred.
Bought a new 2007 f150 lariat. There was a bumping feeling in the front. I was told it was due to the tires sitting on the dealership lot. The problem would go away after driving it for several miles. The bumping didn't stop after I drove it 2,000 miles.
