Surging when braking after turning off cruise control
Ford Escape Hybrid 2022 Titanium AWD, SUV 100000 miles
Hello, I have an insistent problem. When I take my foot off the gas pedal, the car takes forever to slow down. If I try to brake, it will surge. This is so insistent that it is best described as the car doesn't gear down as fast as it should. Does anyone else have this issue?
All wheel drive out of sync. 
Solved
Ford Escape Hybrid 2021 Titanium 75000 miles
Hi everyone,
I drive a Ford Escape Titanium Hybrid, and I’ve been getting the yellow wrench warning light, along with a message that says "All-Wheel Drive Out of Sync. " I recently brought it into the dealership, but they couldn’t find anything wrong.
I suspect it might be an electrical short or possibly a faulty sensor, since the warning keeps reappearing despite no apparent mechanical issues.
Has anyone else run into this issue?
Could this be caused by a known wiring or sensor fault?
Are there any simple checks or fixes (like fuse box areas, harness points, or specific sensors) I could look into before heading back to the dealership?
Any help or tips would be appreciated!

Yes, I had this too, my dealership told me it's the Hybrid battery, no fix, Ford wants to replace the battery! It is under warranty for my 2022
I am experiencing the same me thing, nothing would show up on a code reader. My engine light blinks like crazy (on & off). Hoping i can just trade it in at this point.
Okay my car is now fixed, works better than when it was new. It was the high voltage battery. They hooked up a device and it said replace battery!
It took over a month because Ford had a back order on the high voltage battery. It was covered under warranty.

Best answer (according to Jasen)
On mine The Ford certified mechanic said it was a faulty sensor underneath the battery in the back. It had a lot of corrosion on it. The problem is is with the fix they had to take apart the whole back end to be able to get just to that sensor now that it was all corroded. So if you're experiencing this issue I recommend asking them to check that sensor that is underneath the battery in the center back end.
Thank you, the problem has been fixed, all the gremlins are fixed! The shop's computer told them to replace the high-voltage battery, under warranty!!
All is good!
All is good!

I had the same problem. In my case, it turned out that the electric pump for cooling the electric engine was not receiving power (broken electric wire), which resulted in too slow coolant circulation and overheating of the engine under higher load (uphill climb, etc.).
