2005 ford escape "tone ring" on the axel throws off the abs and it engages at the tap of the brakes. Grabbing the brakes, either slamming on brakes or no brakes at all. I have researched this and there are many many complaints from 01-10 escapes. Dealers are charging for axel and ring to be replaced when all that needs replaced is the 15$ ring. I feel this should be recalled because it causes vehicles to flip over…

While pulling into my driveway, my breaks suddenly failed, which caused me to (thankfully no more than) run into the tree at the end of my driveway. Upon inspection, i realized that my passenger side brake line that connects to the wheel cylinder had failed due to deterioration. After replacing, and inspection of the driver side, that brake line too was deteriorated to the point of imminent failure.

Left front brake line failure. Near 100% loss of braking action. Pedal to the floor with very little stopping power. Needed to shift vehicle into low gear and neutral to be able to stop vehicle. Could not travel over 30mph, as there was not enough stopping force to bring the vehicle to a stop. *tr

Purchased 2005 ford escape in march 2007 with about 80k miles. Within the month, the abs light began to intermittently come on. It is now september 2011 and the problem still occurs and has not been solved. Had obd ii diagnostic codes tested. No codes found while light is on or off. Manually turning off the light is only temporary. There are no physical problems with the brakes. Ford should have this recalled.…
