The abs braking system on the ford escape hybrid failed unexpectedly and without warning at only 60k miles.

The problem is brake loss in reverse. It happens intermittently sometimes once a month or maybe 6 months with no problem but scary when backing out and cannot stop immediately. The pedal will be rock hard when this happens and after a couple of seconds will depress and brakes back to normal. If in a tight spot or pedestrian walks behind there could be bad consequences and good luck proving it in court that the…

Most recently, this defect has resulted in a total right -off of our vehicle when the car reversed into a brick wall as we were backing up slowly from a complete standstill. Luckily, no…

My daughter was driving, and had pulled from a stop sign. The vehicle seemed to stall, and she had no control- no brakes, no throttle, the emergency brake didn't stop her, and she finally pushed it into park and that did nothing. It rolled to a stop, although the engine seemed to be running. She turned off the engine, and after a few minutes, restarted it. It restarted, and she proceeded to drive to her destinations…
