Sounds to me like your rear brake or emergency brake is stuck and or possibly something in the brake system is defective, worn out, broken or jammed. As to fixing it I dont recommend anyone working on brakes unless their qualified and certified. Simply put to many things can go wrong that would put yours or others life in jepardy for a novice to tamper with brakes. , EzForJesus
if your rear brakes are locking up under normal braking operations it could be contaminated brake pads/ shoes, faulty metering valve, or a bad proportioning valve, its hard for me to tell you exactly what it is but if you haven't fixed the problem post your symptoms on my message board i would be happy to tell you what exactly is wrong and how to fix it.
Can be as high as 'more than the car is worth'!
Actually, the ford escape has a factory recall on the ABS. (anti lock brake system). Take it to your ford dealer and they will fix it for free. Low brake fluid
Be sure to change both front brake hoses. I didn't and my calipers would lock up.
Your anti-lock brake system has a failing or failed component in it. Usually this is rather expensive to fix.
Neither.
Because it is anti lock
the shifter lock need to be lubed to override the shift lock press hard on the brake and move shift over to unlock and pull down this will override it but not fix it remove shift covers and lube shift lock and should be fine
You don't fix it, you replace the door lock actuator.
A defective brake hose must be replaced. There is no way to fix it.
You need a better question.... If its rusted to the rotor use PB Blaster to free it then replace brake pads. If the caliper piston is frozen then you need to rebuild the caliper.
Your problem is not the warning light. The light is on because there is a problem with the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). Have it repaired and they will reset the light.
Try your brake lights. There is a sensor under the brake pedal that will go off if you don't have any. This should be an easy fix.
