Escape Hybrid

  • CVT transmission
  • 38,000 miles

Drove truck to work, no issues. Parked it for 2 hours, went back out & every brake/maintenance symbol was lit on my dashboard, but there were no puddles of anything beneath it. So, I drove it through parking lot, & noticed the brakes were not catching (felt like it had air pockets in the system), & had to stand on them to come to a stop. Drove it (slowly) to dealership, & found out that the hydraulic braking pump had failed. If we'd not JUST bought the extended warranty, it would have cost us $2800. There was nothing to let us know that there was even a problem in work; the brakes worked perfectly up until the time they just failed -- no warning, at all.
