Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Ford escape 2002 - we have had an ongoing problem with the abs and brake lights staying on. we have had it into a ford dealership several times, who was not able to fix it, and an independent mechanic who was finally able to identify that it was the antilock braking system's electronic control module causing the issue. just read an article concerning an ongoing investigation into engine fires possibly caused by this module and are very concerned that we could be next. we first took it into the dealer the month our warranty expired so i am putting the "incident date" in for that month.
