What owners wrote
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?
ABS brake light came on, with regen brake disengaged notice appearing, hcu unit failed, seems to be a frequent problem with hybrid
