NHTSA complaint: 2008 FORD ESCAPE — SERVICE BRAKES
MY 2008 FORD ESCAPE HYBRID WOULD NOT STOP WITH BOTH FEET PUSHING TO THE FLOOR. CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM AND REGEN BRAKE DISABLED AS MY CAR HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE FOR BOTH ME AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I'M ALSO A BIKER AND I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE ON A BIKE OR A PEDESTRIAN. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND THE FACT THAT I WAS UNAWARE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT JUST HAPPENED AND WHY. I HAVE FOUR FORDS AND NOW I'M CONCERNED TO DRIVE THEM.
