Brake pedal would go real hard and hardly stop the car, then it would be ok and every thing would work proper for a few days. When at a stop light and motor turns off it sometimes would start up again before you lifted your foot. No dash lights would come on showing a problem, I dont know if fault codes were stored. The vehicle is not safe to be on the road.
With the engine running and the car in motion the break is very hard to press and it does not stop the car. Excessive force applied to the break peddle is necessary to start to slow the cars motion.
My car was parked in the driveway. The brake was on. I opened the drivers side of the door before I could do anything the car started moving. The car door knocked me down and ran over my right foot and leg. I was dragged down my drive way. The car stopped at the street. The brake was still on. Ems took me to the hospital.
When backing my vehicle I get a loud clunk the first time each day. I have taken it to two dealers who advised me they are aware of the noise, but Ford has not addressed the issue. I feel this could result in an accident. He mechanic who worked on my vehicle last advised his wife drives a 2016 Escape with the same problem. Can you help resolve this issue?.
