Replaced master cylinder, booster front rotors calipers and pads. Pedal is soft and goes almost to the floor when braking while stopping.
Had to make an emergency stop. The abs system engaged and there was no accident. Afterwards I had no brake. Car has been in four different repair shops and I have spent over $2000. I have had front brakes and rear brakes replaced, master cylinder replaced and a used abs module replaced. Still do not have proper brake. Found service notice online from Ford #19s54 which addresses this issue on some Ford vehicles and states a recall is in progress. . Escape is not included but problems are the same. Similar parts are used on many Ford vehicles. Escape should be included in recall. My car is useless without brakes.
Issue with abs module system- brake pedal was intermittently soft while driving, and brakes would activate late in pedal progression. Replaced master cylinder to fix issue. Issue continued and now has become more consistent. Brakes are not functioning properly because of a bad abs module, and Ford will not fix. Less than 80,000 miles on the car and brakes no longer work properly.
