Brake Abs Warning Light problems of the 2008 Ford Escape

08 Ford Escape hybrid-abs light illuminated and breaks failed. While driving, stopsafe came on. Turned car off and back on approx. 5 minutes later. Abs stays on along with check breaks system and regen breaks disabled. Car has sat for 3 years. When turned on now, regular battery drains and abs light stays on.

On hot days the vehicle displays the following error "abs light on regen brakes disabled". The braking system does not function as intended. It almost feels as the vehicle will not stop and takes a very long time to come to a stop. In a situation where an immediate stop would be neccessary this error is likely to result in a vehicle collision. This has been occuring all of this year (2020) on days when the temperature exceeds 85 degrees. The most recent being on July 25, 2020. The vehicle is in motion on city streets.

While driving the abs warning light comes on along with the check brakes took to a mechanic shop and was told it was the and module that was going out. They waited me a price of 2400 dollars to get a new module and 1200 to install. Took vehicle to the dealership and was told they could not find a problem. When I tried to drive it home the two lights came on and also the engine light. I called a weaker and had it dropped off at my house.

Abs light came on over a year ago. Since then I've had it serviced 3 times and the brakes replaced. Now it's in for inspection and can't pass. My experience and mechanic experiences routine moments when the brakes do not engage even when the pedal is floored. They've bled the brakes and now are trying to explore other potential solutions. As of now 5 days without a car or any apparent solution to the diagnosis. Mechanic will not pass since the brakes fail without warning. . . It is still with the mechanic so no documentation as of yet.

Driving at 40 mph, abs light came up first, then, brakes and then regent brakes disabled warning light came on. I was driving going home at 4:45 and stopped at a postal office when I noticed that to stop I had to push hard on the brakes to park. Leaving the postal office, I noticed the car wasn't breaking exactly when I wanted, to but decided that I wanted to get home, so I continue driving, but at a red light the brakes went all the way to the floor and I almost hit the car in front of me. I went into a panic and parked my car right there, in a bank parking lot, and proceeded to call a towing truck, to tow it to my friends house. I took uber back home and I'm not planning on driving that car.

Abs light on, regen brakes disabled, 5,000. 00 to fix it, brakes work poorly and engine revs too high.

The tone ring on the front left side cracked, causing traction control and abs light to go on, and caused instability and traction issues at low speeds.

Was driving the vehicle and after applying the brakes. The abs warning light came on, plus the information display indicated "check brake system" and "regen brake disabled". I was still able to brake, but needed to apply more pressure to stop and there was a new noise when I depressed the brakes. I took the vehicle to my local Ford dealer, after the technician had checked the vehicle they indicated that I needed a new hcu unit and the estimated cost was $5,200+.

Abs break light came on with a message that says reneg brakes disabled. Car bucked and lost breaking ability. Was able to get car to dealership where I was told that the abs/hcu needed to be replaced and the repair would cost $4,800. 00. Car cannot be driven as it cannot stop safely. This happened while the vehicle was in motion, and according to the mechanic at Ford, it was not caused by normal wear and tear.

The abs braking light came on and the brakes locked. We were able to get the vehicle home, however, after inspection by the garage we found the hcu was defective as well as the master cylinder. Total expense to replace was $7,000, the car is only worth 6,000.

I was turning right on a stop light and front left abs tone ring broke. Car slipped gears and would not accelerate for 5-10 seconds. Rsc light and abs light came on briefly. Car continued to do this randomly and abs brakes were activated when braking at low speeds. Issue is with tone ring on many Ford Escapes from 2000-2008. Rings often break because of excessive rust build up on Ford components causing expansion. Part is constructed very poorly and as a result safety is compromised and service repairs profit goes up!.

Tl-the contact owns a 2008 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph, the abs light illuminated and the contact felt like the brakes were shaking. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 133,000.

During lunch hour slowed to make a right hand turn and brakes seemed to lock and grind. Steering wheel vibrated and the abs and traction control light came on. Attempted to accelerate and the car seemed to be locked up for a few seconds. Vehicle behind me almost hit me due to vehicle failure. Lights would not go off for about 1 minute after accelerating to about 25 mph. While driving about 10 more minutes they illuminated several more times. During drive home the same thing happened 3 more times and always when slowing to make a turn and then attempting to accelerate again. Now abs light won't go off at all.

The abs light and tracking light comes on dashboard indicating a problem. When I go to stop there is this tracking resistance when apply brakes. Fords dealership tells me the right abs ring is cracked on the brakes. Got fixed, now this has happened 2 more times, once on left side and twice on right side. When I had to stop suddenly the brakes feel like they don't work and make this tracking noise as like when you are on ice. Very scary, my car now has 145,000 miles this last time. How long does it take Fords to make a recall on this part, my son says that the water gets up in it and causes it to rust and crack. I'm sure I am not the only Ford Escape 2008 with this problem.
