Brake failure. In one short distance, both front flexible hoses carrying brake fluid ruptured totally losing brake response. Car was brought under control by other means. We could have been killed in a varied circumstance. It was necessary to have the car towed for repairs.

The abs ring (tone ring according to ford) on the front right axle fractured during driving. This sent a false signal to the processor and applied the abs while the vehicle was travelling at highway speeds. This extended the braking distance to an unsafe and unpredictable length on dry pavement. Two months after the first incident and replacement of the front right ring the front left ring broke again setting off…

I was driving home from work, going about 35 mph when i felt my car start to slid like it was on ice even though the pavement was dry. My abs light and my service 4wd light came on. I had a very hard time getting home because the brakes were failing. I came home googled it and realized that it was my tone ring and that it was a common problem. Sure enough next day took it to a ford dealership and that's what it was.…

The 05-06 ford escapes have a major failure in their braking and axle system. I bought a new escape in 2006 in less then two years the abs light came after replacing the front brake pads. I took the car to a mechanic and he stated that the front axle has "teeth" on it that easily break off and therefore disengaging the abs system. On a daily basis the breaks "thump" like they are not able to stop the vehicle, this…

My vehicle's emergency brake has never prevented my vehicle from moving forward under power. It doesn't hold on a hill. If you take your foot off the brake pedal after applying the emergency brake, the vehicle will lurch forward making a grating sound. Having the vehicle in park position on the gear shift is what holds the vehicle on a hill. I have had brakes checked at the dealer a number of times and they tell me…

Upon purchase rumbling was felt while braking. The fuccillo car dealer mechanic said that it was the 4wd kicking in. This problem continued and once the 90 day warranty was up their story changed. The abs light came on and the tone ring needed to be replaced. He said they have had many of these and be looking for a recall. This is definitely a safety issue as the brakes begin to clang and bang without warning. *tr

I purchased a 2006 escape hybrid on april 9th & immediately it had brake failure problems - essentially no brakes. It has been at dealership since april 10th. They claimed it was fixed on april 22 & when i went to get it, same problem happened in test drive. They have no idea what else is wrong. They replaced the brake sensor, but obviously that didn't resolve the problem. This is a major safety issue especially in…
