Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problems of the 2004 Ford Escape

We own a 2004 Escape. That two weeks ago caught fire due to the abs control module. We also have had brake lines go bad due to part failure twice. And the total of three alternators. Now we have spoken to Ford regarding the 01-03 fire issue. But they will not do anyrhing to consider the 04 even though in researching the actual recall it was the same issue. I woulf like to see this happen. We are selling our vehicle to the sealer sue to lack of reliability. But wanted to vet the word out on this issue. Our engine also idle and tries to pull the vehicle forward even with the brakes applied. This is due to a faulty idle air controll valve.

Rubber brake hose on passenger side front ruptured causing all brake fluid to drain from system. Upon inspection it was found the driver side rear rubber brake hose was near failure.
