About four months my 2001 Ford Escape has been putting off this strong odor, so bad I am afraid to drive it. My safety brake light will not turn off, even when it is not in use. Over the last 3 months, I have paid to have my car engine looked at -spark plugs, brakes and rotors replaced, hoping for positive results. Smell still remains. I have put money into getting this car fixed, I do realize its an older car, butt it's all I have and need it for transportation to work, due to the abs recall I just received, I am afraid it's going to just burst into flames at any time.

The brakes failed on my 2008 Ford Escape hybrid while traveling at 50mph on rt. 3 in clifton NJ.

Both the abs light and brake warning lights came on the dash, in addition to a message that said something along the lines of brakes require service. The car has roughly 7000 miles on it and was purchased in sept. 2007.
