The contact owns a 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid. While driving at 20 mph and approaching a stop sign, the brakes failed to respond. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the hydraulic unit failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 102,000. The VIN was not available.
Warning light (abs) and messages appeared (service 4 x 4, service brakes soon) unexpectedly. After letting the car sit for a day, the light and messages went away.
