This 2009 Ford Escape came in for a second opinion after having the an inspection done at the Ford Dealer. The dealer recommend that the customer replace the brake master cylinder and the ABS control unit. During a test drive, we were unable to duplicate the concern. The main concern was a falling brake pedal while stopped. This suggested that there is a possible leaking master cylinder, the seals internally may be intermittently bypassing. The other possibility is an internal leak at the ABS control unit. Before we left the parking lot, we found that the rear wheels were locking up in low traction environments such as the parking lot gravel. During the lockup, I we observed that the ABS pump did not actuate. The rear drum brakes were inspected for the correct parts and correct installation. We also check the other shops work during the inspection. We had to choose that most likely cause of the lockup and the sinking pedal condition. Due to cost, we chose to replace the brake master cylinder as it was far less costly than a ABS hydraulic control unit.
