problem #1

Jun 012007

Escape 4WD 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 106,000 miles
Car to dealership on 6/1/07 for service. Brake pads replaced, rotors turned, tires rotated, replaced stabilizer bar. Left dealer and in less than 2 miles, ABS dash light came on. Went back to dealership for inspection--thinking maybe something had gone awry when car was serviced. Per them (and they showed me what was wrong), collar on outside of axel that turns to send signal to ABS sensor has a crack that will intermittently make the ABS brake system come on. Replacement per them--$425.
