description: 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 DANCING MOVES AND SUDDENLY TOOK A NAP. I GOT BACK IN THE VEHICLE PUMPED THE BRAKES A COUPLE OF TIMES AND BRAKES CAME BACK, OFF TO WORK I WENT. AFTER WORK ON THE WAY HOME NO A/C, WHEN I GOT HOME THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE TO THE A/C CONDENSER. THEN JUST YESTERDAY LEAVING WORK IN THE ESCAPE, SOMEONE WALKED IN FRONT OF ME I PUT THE BRAKES ON AND TO THE FLOOR AGAIN...PUMP-PUMP-PUMP AND STOP.....SLOWLY.... THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME HAD A LOOK OF SHOCK THAT I WAS 6 INCHES FROM THEM. SORRY I YELL OUT THEY NOD BACK BEGRUDGINGLY. I THINK YA BUDDY YOU MADE OUT A LOT BETTER THAN THAT DEER A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. AND OH YA NOW I ALWAYS HAVE BRAKES THAT GO TO THE FLOOR.
