Certainly! The Ford Escape 2013 model year is currently under recall for an issue with the ABS module, affecting around 527,000 vehicles. A faulty seal in the anti-lock braking system can lead to serious problems, including engine fires. If you experience any issues like smoking, melting, or burning of the ABS connectors, it is crucial to bring your vehicle to a dealer for inspection and potential repair. Remember, the recall covers missing or incorrectly installed anti-lock braking wiring, and it is important not to ignore potential signs of ABS system failure to ensure your safety on the road.

In 2009, the ABS system in my Ford Escape failed, causing the rotor to warp and smoke so badly that I feared my car was catching fire. Prior to this, I had experienced issues where I had to pump the brakes and struggled to come to a complete stop. It has been a month without a car as Ford is waiting on the necessary ABS part to address the problem.

Ford is issuing a recall for certain 2013 Ford Escape models due to a potential issue with the ABS module connector. This problem may occur if the wire seals are absent or not correctly positioned.

Barbara, I'm in a similar boat. Can't find any ABS modules anywhere.

My daughter's 2009 Escape has a faulty ABC Control Module, and I've been looking into similar experiences online, but there hasn't been a recall for it. It has been parked at the dealership for 5 months due to a lack of the necessary part. I was able to find one at a salvage yard in Detroit and had it sent to Ohio. After installation, I realized that the module was for a 4x4 instead of her 4x2, so it is still not working properly. To make matters worse, we still need to pay the service department almost $1,000 for the part. My daughter is a 19-year-old college student, and as a single mom, this situation is a complete nightmare. We would consider selling the car, but she still owes $5,000 on it.

I also said in 2009 that there is no rule saying it has to be created anywhere.

Check Amazon for the same issue. I'll inform you later if the solution worked.

My Ford Escape from 2011 experienced a malfunction with its ABS system, causing a caliper to lock up and emit smoke while we were driving on the highway. Currently, Ford has issued a "Stop sale" on the ABS control module, preventing us from being able to fix it. Our vehicle sits at the mechanic's shop, but they have been unable to locate the necessary module as all their orders have been canceled by distributors. This situation has left our SUV in an unrepairable and unsafe condition. This raises the question: What action will Ford take to address this issue? I recommend contacting them to demand answers.
