Took to dealer check out breaks and realized it was time to change pads or whatever was necessary. "Notice noise and did no feel like vehicle was stopping as smooth. "2008 hybrid escape Hydraulic Control Unit was failing periodically causing the brakes to not have any pressure when pressed on the brakes. ![]() "The master cylinder went out, costing approximately $4500" "Have had to replace them TWICE during the last 10 years! Very expensive repairs!" "Caliper was just worn out and the rotors were also replaced." "Normal brake repair on front but had problems on the right and had to redo everything as it was off" "this caliper failure was not routine wear It was a defective part" Check Engine light and ABS light both illuminated."

I like that it is modern with a moon roof, CD changer, built in GPS, and has leather seats. I typically only have one passenger in the car with me, so to make extra room I lay my back seats down completely. But it is big enough to travel on vacation and bring along everything you need. It is a sporty vehicle that is not too big or small, making it easy to fit in parking spots. It is a kiwi green color which has always been one of my favorites. First of all, I love the color of my car.
