Consumer Description

I WAS TURNING RIGHT ON A STOP LIGHT AND FRONT LEFT ABS TONE RING BROKE. CAR SLIPPED GEARS AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FOR 5-10 SECONDS. RSC LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON BRIEFLY. CAR CONTINUED TO DO THIS RANDOMLY AND ABS BRAKES WERE ACTIVATED WHEN BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS. ISSUE IS WITH TONE RING ON MANY FORD ESCAPES FROM 2000-2008. RINGS OFTEN BREAK BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE RUST BUILD UP ON FORD COMPONENTS CAUSING EXPANSION. PART IS CONSTRUCTED VERY POORLY AND AS A RESULT SAFETY IS COMPROMISED AND SERVICE REPAIRS PROFIT GOES UP! *TR
