Reported this issue 3 times to the dealer and they claim they can't replicate. When I release the parking brake and begin to drive, there is a grinding noise particularly in the front of the vehicle. When I press the brake, the front of the car shakes and the brake seems to knock as if it's gripping and then releasing. Very scary. It eventually holds but takes a while. I have no idea what this could be but it seems to happen when the parking brake is used and then released. Very unsafe and scary that the dealer has no idea what the issue is or how to resolve it or test for it! this happens when in motion and does not happen every time.

Driving down a street in my neighborhood when the brakes failed. In previous occurrences I was told that the calipers froze up and that the brakes would make a grinding noise. Also the computer system on the vehicle would never record the proper amount of fuel in the tank or at times engage the brakes. I am not a professional but I know this vehicle did have issues. The vehicle was in motion on a city street and when I applied the brakes nothing happened. Upon impact it appeared I hit the steering wheel before the airbag deployed. I had my seat belt on. I have driven down that city road thousands of times but it appeared this time there was a issue with he vehicle that caused this accident. Injuries were airbag related.

The vehicle brakes had been making a grinding noise, specifically while backing up. After a trip to the dealer they stated there were no issues. A few month later (at night) the vehicles brakes became grabby, grinding, and squealing, causing the abs system to activate thinking the vehicle tires were locked up and sliding. The vehicle then slid off the road. I inspected the brakes the following morning and found that rotors were heavily damaged with gouges and grooves. They looked as though they had 60k miles on them in-lieu-of the actual 11,454, and as though the pads were worn and had damaged the rotors. The pads actually showed little to no wear however the rotors had severe premature damage. The dealer reluctantly changed the rotors and pads. This seems to me to be either an engineering issue or bad parts, resulting in premature parts failure. This issue can lead to brake failure and a catastrophic accident.

On August 26, 2014, I went to fair oaks Ford Lincoln dealership service in naperville, illinois for safety recall notice 14s02 / NHTSA recall 14v-165 repairs, and I asked them to check an issue where when brakes are applied, there is a scraping/grinding noise, followed by a knocking noise, which can affect reliable stopping and the vehicle steering stability. Safety recall repairs were completed, then it was reported that the mechanic "pushed back" the vacuum plate cover for the rotor on the driver's side to resolve the scraping/grinding/knocking issue when applying the brakes. The issue with the braking action and subsequent noises and response of vehicle exhibited itself again by the second stoplight away from the fair oaks Ford dealer location. Two days later, on August 28, 2014, I took my 2002 Ford Escape to gearhead auto sales & repair in glen ellyn, illinois for an inspection and repair cost estimate. On the lift, the issue was apparent to the mechanic at gearhead to be the right front axle being faulty, and he replaced the right front axle, with boots, clamps and grease. My issue is that the Ford dealer mechanic inspected and repaired my vehicle for the Ford safety recall notice 14s02 / NHTSA recall 14v-165 in the same proximity on the passenger side of the vehicle when it was on the lift, but he failed to find and report the easily seen faulty right front axle problem the gearhead mechanic promptly reported to me. Instead, the Ford representative falsely pointed to the driver's side front brake rotor vacuum plate being out of place as being the issue causing the scraping/grinding/knocking noise when applying the brakes. Is there any tie to the "corrosion-related separation" safety recall issue that led to the faulty right front axle condition? since my unemployment over the past 3 years, my Ford Escape has rarely been driven, and only in my local area.

I had a 2003 Ford Escape that was 2wd. I needed 4wds so we purchased a 2004 Escape XLT based on previous good experience. What has Ford done to this previously excellent vehicle? we have two major complaints, but NHTSA does not consider four attempts to repair ac that is leaking freon into the passenger compartment worthy of a complaint. So we will address complaint #2. Vehicle brakes irradically, makes grinding noises, and brakes constantly hum. We thought this was due to being a 4wd, but after visiting your website find this to be a predominate problem on all 2005 Escapes.
