Description of the problem | 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. |
