My car got to the point where I had to push the brake pedal all the way down to stop. Took it to a # of mechanics and had my master cylinder replaced a total of 3 times and my rear drum cylinders replaced 2 times. The first mechanic i took it to told me it was a leak in my ABS pump and I should take it to the dealer to be repaired since it MIGHT be covered under warranty. Needless to say after 3 master cylinders and 2 sets of rear drum cylinders the dealer was clueless. After repeatedly telling them to check the ABS pump they FINALLY did check it out and sure enough that was the problem. I was told at the time that my Escape was only the 2nd one in the country to have this problem.
