Brake Disc Caliper Problems of Ford Escape

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Escape. The contact stated while driving 20 mph, the parking brake engaged independently, and the vehicle came to a stop on the highway. The contact shifted into park(p), turned off and restarted the vehicle; however, the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle failed to respond. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the parking brake and the driver’s side rear caliper needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

The contact owns a 2021 Ford Escape. The contact stated that the rear brakes were not releasing as designed. There was an abnormal groaning sound detected while reversing. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed and it was determined that the calipers needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline. The failure was approximately 17,000.

After applying the brakes, under normal conditions, the calipers and brakes pads never released from the rotor! this caused the vehicle to drive slowly and the brakes/rotors and wheels to get very hot. A service station said it appears the hydraulic control unit is sticking, not allowing the brakes to come off of the rotor. I have read that the Ford fusion has this same issue and a recall has been issued.

My 2009 Ford Escape has a severe driver's side front brake overheating problem. The brake caliper is causing enough friction on the rotor to cause the rim, tire, and the entire engine compartment to become over heated and smoke. The vehicle has only 125,000 miles.

I was driving the car out of nowhere my passenger break decided to lock up and started burning break pad so I took it to the dealer only to find out that I needed to replace my calipers break pads rotors and my abs hcu which it run to 5 thousand dollars I also been reading about this problem from Ford Escape hybrids but Ford doesn't want to make a recall on them. People have families in cars and for us to be in accident due to the break faking on us should be a priority for Ford.

In March 2008 my brakes went 2 the floor then I pumped it up. I took it to larson Ford on 4/26/08 ans they said it was the calipers. Had the work done and the problem did not go away. I took it back again and they said I cant find anything and to drive it. On Dec 31 the breaks failed completely. I limped it back to them and they decided to take the day off. Left it there a few weeks again they said they cant find anything. I called Ford for help and they did nothing also. They want us to drive unsafe vehicles. I am now taking it to another Ford dealer to do the recall flush of dot4 and inspect the abs valves that they did on the cars with the recalls. It also looks like NHTSA is not do anything. Not even ask someone if they can take there vehicle to looks at it. If I get the same result my next step will be to contact congress and the president of the united states of the lack of any action by the NHTSA .

We began having intermittent braking incidents. Sometime the car would pull sharply, or not at all. There was a time when the car seemed to need extra petal pressure to stop. We took it to spencer creek to have it checked out. Initial diagnostics was possible sticking of calipers. The car was driven outside the shop to await parts. When the it was time to bring the car back inside to put on the lift, the right front brake had froze up and the car would not move. See attached work order. If this module had failed at highway speed, ti would resulted in loss of control.

The front passenger brake caliper keeps seizing. I replaced it in July along with the rotor and pads and now its started seizing yet again. The steering shaft u joint wears out easy and causes the steering to become loose.

Heat gauge goes to normal but little to no heat. Air conditioner had to be repaired by mike bass Ford sheffield ohio I have changed rotors ,calipers and brake pads 2 times in 2 years and 8000 miles I purchased the cat 09/28/2017 with 30849 miles.

Driving the vehicle down a residential street. Applied the brakes, pedal went to the floor. Car rolled to a stop with limited braking. Placed into park and had passenger pump brakes. Front passenger side brake hose adjacent to the caliper had ruptured. Saw online that this is a common problem with 1st generation Ford Escapes. Could have been serious in heavy traffic!.

Excessive rear brake wear resulting in need for new rotors and pads at less than 20k miles. Owner has complained to dealer at that time and was told system was ok. By 30k miles rear brakes had to be replaced due to severe scoring of rotors and pads worn through. Vehicle is driven safely: not charging stop signs, backing off for stale green lights, etc. Very little brake usage to slow down in this vehicle. Rear rotors and pads have been replace and it was found that very little to no lube was found on the caliper pins. Fronts have been inspected and are not going to need attention for many more miles. It appears that the balance between stopping between the front and rear brakes may be a design problem. Rear rotor diameter to front rotor diameter is 300mm to 330mm which may be too little swept area versus inadequate front pressure. Front pads will be replaced to establish a new baseline for comparison. Ford was notified via phone and email to little or no satisfaction. I'm surprised that a formerly responsive company has gotten so far behind in customer complaint handling. Checking the web, numerous instances of this type of performance have been found. It is my opinion that a "concern" should be opened immediately. Even my selling dealer is unresponsive, yet Ford personnel could not suggest an alternative dealer nor share dealer ratings with their customer. This vehicle has been plagued by numerous recalls already and there are yet two more to be processed. A lot of good an extended warranty does one! help please.

Excessive wear on front brakes, replaced at 18,000 miles and again at 25,000 miles plus nu calipers. Vehicle's current mileage is 27,000. . . Steers better now. . . Difficultly inserting key in ignition unless steering is in the lock position. . Current problem.

The brakes on my 2004 Ford Escape, which only has 23,000 miles on it, started squealing, and I was having to push a little harder than usual. On December 26, 2008 my husband took the vehicle to the shop to have the brakes checked, instead of new brake pads, which were curiously in good condition, we are going to need new front discs, front and back calipers, as well as brake pads. We were able to afford the brake pads as well as the right front disc at cost of 400 dollars but we are going to need to shell out another 400. 00 plus to repair the rest. The wait wouldn't be so bad if I didn't need the Escape to transport my daughter back and forth to school every day.
