2007 Ford Escape 4wd front abs system failure. The tone ring on my Escape broke on my vehicle causing it to fail. My braking system didn't work. I looked up the problem and found it to be very common, a tone ring failure. I feared for my safety as well as my wife's. We drive this car a long way to work. There are so many repairs to this 'problem' that I believe it warrants an investigation. I refuse to drive the car until the problem is fixed as I now have no brake system.
