| A couple months ago, i took my escape hybrid to have the brakes checked out. needless to say, they checked it out and said everything was fine and i was on my way a couple of hours later. then yesterday, my abs and brake lights illuminated and then check brake system came on. after this occured, my brakes go out and then i must come to a rolling stop on the side of the road while trying to avoid hitting anyone. it occured 6 times at different speeds (20mph & 70mph) i then retruned it to the dealership yesterday and asked them to look over it. today, i am told that i need a new abs system installed with the hydralic/electric control units totally $7,400. of course, there is no warranty for this. i have been researching this issue online and have noticed several posting regarding a similiar issue however still no recall. i would assume a factory defect regarding the brakes would be significant enough for a recall before someone gets killed. | |||
