problem #1

Jan 272007

Escape Hybrid 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 36,500 miles
Complete brake failure. First time it occurred was on the interstate - 65 miles an hour and the brake light and the ABS light came on and there was a beep. There were then no brakes at all. Luckily, I was able to get to the side of the road and coast to a stop. Turned off the truck and started it again and it had brakes. On this last incident, the same thing in the same order happened. Thankfully, my wife was able to get the vehicle to coast to a stop without hitting anyone or anything. This problem is very dangerous. It is intermittent thus making it hard to diagnose. Consumer stated vehicle was traded in 2015. Updated 6/8/18
