| The check brake system message appears in message system on 2006 ford escape hybrid, with the accompanying brake warning symbol light coming on. the brake pedal seems to lose some pressure in the pedal and goes further to the floor. the brake fluid reservoir is full, so the brake fluid is not low. this has happened on and off now for the last few days. i had a brake job done on the rear brakes 2 months ago, and the dealership says the front brakes are fine. they recommend replacing the master cylinder for 1300 dollars, and then state that it might not solve the problem and they would then have to replace a control module for about 4500 to 5000 dollars. i noticed online that a lot of people seem to be having this same problem with the ford escape hybrid from 2005 to 2006, and they are incurring the same costly repair. some of them complained about losing power to the braking system. | |||
