I have a 2007 ford escape. I took it to the car was and my abs lights and 4wd lights came on. I looked online and found several complaints of tone rings (abs rings) being cracked. Sure enough my front left tone ring is cracked. I believe it happen on the conveyor at the car was. Still this is a common problem, even ford dealers (two of them) agree. Why isn't this a recall? Ford is fixing it for $300. *tr

I started my car in the morning, and drove up my street as i normally do on dry, clear pavement, hitting no bumps or potholes. As i got to the stop sign and pressed my brake pedal, the abs light came on and my 4wd light began flashing. The brakes made a grinding sound, and the brakes locked up. I now know this as the abs system activating. This has been happening for 2 days now, every time i hit the brakes in my…
