Took vehicle in for a recall fix on 4-8-2021 at keller motors hanford ca drove the following day to a gas station went to enter a gas pump and loss of breaks at a low speed almost bumping into a car had to use my emergency brake to stop my truck.
Brakes failed without warning driving down the highway with my family and breaks went out without any warning lights any noise of pump failer, had to drive in the median grass to avoid a collision that would have killed my family. The part that failed is the brake vacuum pump part # bb5z-2a451-c it looks as if an internal part inside this pump failed causing metal shavings and failing the pump. A similar issue regarding the same pump in the f-150 was recalled in canada.
Purchased this car on may 22, 2018..used car with mileage of 48784 and we are seniors and do not travel far each year. We went to get a maine sticker on our vehicle and was told new back brakes and rotors are needed asap. Now has a mileage of 50284. We think it is too soon for rear brakes.
I have been advised that the rear brake rotors on my escape are severely corroded and need replacement. The corrosion has also damaged the pads. This has lead to pulsations and uneven braking. Mileage approximately 34,000 miles when I was made aware of the problem though braking performance suffered before that. Ford has told me they are not responsible for the salty conditions in pennsylvania and do not cover corrosion. This unusual wear has created unsafe braking conditions and braking system failure which were not expected so early in the vehicle life.
Pre-mature wear of rear brake rotors. After 34,000 miles, squeaking brakes developed. Upon inspection, both rear brake rotors are severely scored while front rotors show no wear (smooth in appearance). Rear brake pads are still at 8mm thickness. Rear rotors will have to be replaced in near future at our expense.

2016 ford escape 1.6 se awd has front brake squeeling proplem once heated up and occasionally when driven for shorter times. About 3/4 around town, 1/4 highway driving. Brought in to ford after about 1 year. They sanded the surface of the pads, rotors. Problem ceased for a little over 8 months. Problem returned and not brought in until incessant like before. This time, nothing was done. Was told with no abnormal signs, this was normal. Vin check returns no recalls.
Constant squealing noise coming from underneath the brakes. This problem was address to the ford motor people. The car taken in several time for this problem and they could not fix the problem...
I was driving about 60 MPH on interstate 95 when the vehicle suddenly shut off while in motion and I ran into the back of a 18 wheeler truck. Thankfully I was not hurt. Ford insists they cannot find anything wrong with the car.
