Regenerative braking system light appeared on dash, 2013. Took vehicle in to get checked. Was told that it was the master cyclinder. Cost approx 1500. 00. Went on line and found that other people had same experience and after paying for the replacement of the master cyclinder they then had to replace the an abs module to the tune of 4500. 00. Took my vehicle to another dealership Feb of 2014 and was told the abs module needed replaced for 4,724. 00 and then the master cyclinder for 1360. 00. The mechanic did not advise driving due to the potential brake failure. I only have 18,600 miles on this vehicle which makes it difficult to justify putting that much more money into it. It seems to to a problem Ford needs to deal with. It does involve a safety issue and I'm not sure if they are going to wait until some one dies before they decide to do a recall.

In a hard-braking situation, brakes failed - no discernible deceleration at all, pushing harder than I've ever had to before. This made for rear-ending the guy ahead of me. Forensics investigator w/ mech found odb dtcs showed only p0a8d and b1318 - one of which shows a low voltage to abs system. Multiple reports of this with escape hybrid owners. I wonder if it is related to the Ford fusion hybrid failures? this occurred at 10-15 mph. What happens at 60? local dealership declares "your brakes check out fine and there's no evidence of brake failure. " really? how about that radiator and grill that need repair and that quarterpanel sticking out of the right side? evidence enough? I'd like to see this issue root-caused before somebody gets seriously hurt.

The driver information display showed: brake system failure. Took vehicle to dealership, and was told that the item was not covered by extended warranty that I purchased through dealer. The item that was found to cause the code is the wiring that controls the hydraulic pump for the abs brake system. Although the brakes still function, but do not protect from locking up in an event of emergency braking.
