Which resulted in being drove off the side of the highway through a fence hitting 2 trees before rolling twice.

I was parking my car at a mechanical shop. When I pulled into a parking spot the car failed to stop and went into the neghbors yard going into the wire fence scracthing the the car. I was not going fast but car was scratch up badly. As far as I know the car was not inspected by anyone. The car stayed at the mechanic's garage for about seven weeks until the ABS was replaced.

In later part of 2021my vehicle's power steering began disengaging and reengaging. It is now parked in my driveway for I am afraid of driving it. Apparently the was a safety recall issued several years ago recognizing this problem and authorizing a software upgrade, new torque sensor or steering column replacement. I took my vehicle to the Ford dealer in 2014 under Safety Recall 14S05 and they did a software reprogramming. Obviously, they missed something. Now they tell me ambiguously that

The Hydraulic Control Unit (HCUs) in the 2009 Ford Escape malfunctioned resulting in the brake pedal losing resistance. The brake pedal needed to be pushed all the way to the floorboard with aggressive force to stop the vehicle. This issue may have resulted in an interstate accident that put the driver at extreme risk. The vehicle crashed into the vehicle in front of the driver due to a delay in stopping from the malfunctioning of the HCU. There were no warning lights that were triggered to aler

I WAS DRIVING MY 2009 FORD ESCAPE AND THE ABS BRAKES ACTIVATED DUE TO A SLIPPERY SPOT ON THE ROAD. THEN A CAR STOPPED QUICK IN FRONT OF ME AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR RESULTING IN NO BRAKES, I WENT OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID A COLLISION. I HAD THE CAR TOWED. WENT TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS BAD ABS MODULA. CALLED FORD AND WAS TOLD IT COULD BE $2,000 TO REPAIR. I SEE RECALLS ON FORDS 2006-2010. BUT NOT MY FORD ESCAPE. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED IN A RECALL. MY 2009 FORD WAS PURCHASED NEW

I HAVE A 2009 FORD ESCAPE APPROXIMATELY 120,000 MILES ON IT. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN THE EARLY MORNING I SAW DEER STANDING IN THE ROAD, THEY USUALLY ALMOST ALWAYS MOVE OUT OF THE ROAD. AS I GOT CLOSER IT WAS OBVIOUS IT WASN'T GOING TO MOVE, SO I PUT THE BRAKES ON AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR... THUD...BUMP...CRUNCH BUT THE DEER HOBBLED OFF. I PULLED OVER AND NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END, I LOOK OVER AND THE DEER WAS IN THE FIELD PUTTING ON ITS BEST BREAK DAN

BRAKE PEDAL IS SPONGY OR GOES TO THE FLOOR, STARTED OFF JUST HERE AND THERE BUT NOW IS DOING IT ALMOST DAILY. THERE REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE ABS CONTROL MODULE. SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF ESCAPE OWNERS. ARE THEY GOING TO WAIT TILL SOMEONE DIES ( I HOPE IT'S NOT ME) BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. VERY SCARY TO DRIVE AND VERY EXPENSIVE IF YOU HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. I KNOW IT COULD BE NOTHING ELSE, I HAVE REPLACED EVERY OTHER PART ON THE BRAKIN
