| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Approx 1 year ago - our 2002 ford escape started to smoke while sitting in the garage. when we got it to the dealer is was found that the wiring harness where it connected to the abs ecu unit had shorted due to brake fluid getting into connector. when the shop disconnected the wiring harness connector, the next day, the fluid ignited burning up the harness. the estimated cost to fix was $2000 dollars, replacement of the harness and ecu unit. which since the majority of the damage was done in the shop ford did cover the cost of the repair. i am just filling this as i have seen that this issue is under investigation, and thought that i should report our incident. *jb |
