Brakes were recently serviced. Three weeks later, brakes began shuddering and making a grinding noise. Took vehicle into be serviced. Was charged for an inspection fee, plus replacement of a broken tone ring. Cost of a new tone ring is minimal (< $50 CDN) but inspection + labor brings the cost of this repair to about $300+ (CDN) and two days without being able to use my vehicle. No real option to avoid fixing this, as the tone ring apparently works in conjunction with the traction control with the 4WD for the Escape.
While you could avoid making the fix, it would leave you without ABS and probably only lead to more problems down the road.
