| 2006 | SERVICE BRAKES | PART 1: I PURCHASED THIS USED VEHICLE FROM WHAT IS A WELL KNOWN DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA OF LIVING ON 3/21/13. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE DATE THE FIRST BRAKE FAILURE HAPPENED, IT WAS 4 DAYS AFTER I DROVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE LOT. THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. THANKFULLY, BESIDES BEING SCARED TO DEATH, I WAS OK. THE DEALERSHIP TOWED MY VEHICLE AND STATED THEY "MIRACULOUSLY" (MY SARCASM) HAD BRAKES WHEN DRIVING IT FROM THE TOW TRUCK INTO THE SHOP. THEY HAD GREAT DIFFICULTIES FIGURING OUT WHAT WAS WRONG AND HAD EVEN TALKED WITH THE FORD COMPANY AND CAME UP WITH THE HYDRAULICS SYSTEM BEING THE ISSUE WHICH WAS THEN REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP. AT A LATER TIME WITH FURTHER OCCURRENCE, I WAS INFORMED THE MODULAR HAD ALSO AT THE FIRST BRAKE FAILURE BEEN REPLACED, ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO PROOF OF THAT ON MY SERVICE RECORD (ANOTHER ISSUE). AFTER REPLACING THESE ITEMS, THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUED TO HAVE DIFFICULTIES TRYING TO GET THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS FROM ILLUMINATING ON THE DASH AND APPARENTLY HAD TO UNHOOK SOME VACUUM PUMP TO CORRECT ISSUE. FOLLOWING THIS I WAS ASSURED EVERYTHING WAS FIXED. SECOND BRAKE FAILURE WAS ON 5/26/13. THANKFULLY,I WAS JUST COMING TO A STOP AT MY RESIDENCE WHEN THIS OCCURRED! AGAIN VEHICLE WAS TOWED. AN ERROR CODE WAS FOUND AND RESET AND ASSURED EVERYTHING WAS OK. THIS IS ALSO WHEN I DID SOME DIGGING AND REQUESTED THE PREVIOUS OWNERS NAME. TO MY AMAZEMENT, THIS HAD HAPPENED ONCE TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER.....FUNNY, THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD WERE INVOLVED AND STATED IT COULD HAVE BEEN A MODULAR OR A "FLUKE" AND NOTHING WAS DONE AT THAT TIME AND THE VEHICLE WAS TRADED SHORTLY AFTER. HMMM..I INHERITED A PROBLEM. *TR |
| 2006 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | BRAKING SYSTEM DEFECTS IN FORD ESCAPE HYBRID 2006. THE BRAKES FAIL, MULTIPLE TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP HAVE NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE. *TR |
