2010 Ford Escape: brake failure

Filed Sep 7, 2022 · Brakes · CO

8-26-2022 - Traveling on Highway in Colorado, clear evening, dry road conditions. While normal driving at 690 mph I came up to a stop light intersection. The light was green and turned yellow while I was coming up to the intersection. I pressed my brake normally and the pedal went to the floor, there was no warning of any brake issues, the brakes are in normal operating condition. Had there been any vehicles crossing the intersection, I would not have been able to avoid a serious collision. I pulled off and was able to pump the brakes back to where I could stop the vehicle. I have absolutely no confidence in this vehicle stopping.

We've had the brakes fail once before and once again today. We hit the brakes on thhe interstate and afterwards, the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor. The last time, we took it to a service station and they couldnt' find anything wrong. It happened again this morning on the interstate. I believe it's related to fsa 19s54 recall and that ford escapes should be evaluated to be included in the recall.

Was driving along at 55 MPH when out of the blue the engine sputtered and car shook. The check engine light came on and I had no acceleration from the gas pedal, the car was hard to steer and almost no brakes. When I finally stopped the car the check engine light was still on along with the throttle control/power train wrench light and the anti theft system light blinking. I restarted the car numerous times only to move about a 10th of a mile and it happen again. I have had the car only for 2 days now. I read online a lot of other people having this problem. Ford need to be made aware of this and offer a fix.

Brakes went out and we almost hit someone but we didn't. Brake system failure message appeared when it happened but no warning before. Turned off car then turned on and brakes seem to be working now intermittently. Ford escape 2010. Hybrid with only 21000 highway miles. Just had the 20000 check at the dealer 2 weeks ago and we were told brakes were fine. I can't believe there had not been a recall since many other owners online seemed to have had the same problem. We. Could have been in a serious accident . Thank goodness no one got hurt. Taking it to the dealer tomorrow morning.
