Abs brake failure. going down a hill, brakes went to the floor (abs light came on), then all of a sudden the light shut off, brakes came back, but not before hitting the vehicle in front of us.
While driving my 2015 ford escape down a mountain road, the bolt for the vacuum pump driving the power assisted brakes sheared off (similar to the recalled issue on ford edge and explorer vehicles). when this happened it felt as if there were no brakes at all and it took all of my force (i'm a 300lb 6'4" male) applied to the brake peddle to stop the car. the car was towed back to the dealership where it was repaired. i was told this is a common issue on ford vehicles with the ecoboost engine and cam driven vacuum pump. had i been driving in traffic or at freeway speeds, a vehicle collision with injuries would likely have occurred as there was no warning that the power assist had stopped working.
The brake fluid container inside the engine vibrated loose and the screws came all the way out and left the container of brake fluid hanging inside the engine. this could cause a serious problem. a road assistance company helping me start my car again after the electrical panel malfunctioned opened the hood to find this problem. the screws are completely gone, and i will have to have this taken in to ford to get replacement screws to fix this.

Rear rotors had excessive rust after 5000 mies. caused rear brakes to grind and make loud noise. also caused a one time back up for rear brakes not to work. ford dealership in dickson, tn did a great job of fixing the problem. their service dept was excellent.
While backing into a parking space, the abs and traction control lights started flashing and audible warnings sounded. the car started shaking. i was unable to stop or steer my car. i had a low speed collision with a properly parked car. thank god no one was injured. had this happened on an open road the outcome would have been different. i had reported this problem to my dealer previously. they applied an existing recall saying that it fixed the issue. that was on the 20th of october 2015. the car is being towed to my dealer's body shop for inspection by usaa. i never want to drive it again. i am told to trade it in . how in good conscience can i do that??
Vehicle exhibits severe intermittent brake squeal. three times in for service. 1st time, no problem found. second time, with video evidence of squeal, tech diagnosed left rear brake. deglazed and and cleaned. 3rd time, pads changed and rotors machined. no change. squeal returned in two days. advised by ford this is normal, but i could take it to another dealer for service. three times in one month. *js
The front driver side wheel when backing squeals every tijme and every day ssince we had the car. here it is july almost aug. had brought the car in to the dealer once in march and again for the same thing last week friday. they tell me and my wife that they can not get it to do it at the dealer. my wife and i was sitting in my other escape getting ready to leave when they backed it up and both my wife and i heard it from my car and they say they can not duplicate the problem? bold lie. they say the squeal is also normal that is another bold lie. they just do not want to replace the pads on t he car a $44 dollar item to satisfy a customer from hearing that horidous noise everyday. if it is normal then why my 2014 escape does not do it?
