I'm interested in a 2008 Ford escape hybrid with 80,000 miles do it has a timing belt or chain and when it's time to change it
SOURCE: AT WHAT MILEAGE SHOULD A TIMING CHAIN BE REPLACED
There is no specified mileage. Timing chains last a lot longer than timing belts and the rate at which they wear can depend more on the frequency of oil changes and engine use or abuse. The general rule of thumb most shops go by now; if it's getting noisy, then it's time to pull the timing cover. Often times it's not the chain itself, but the chain guides that have failed. Either way, a timing chain job will involve new guides, tensioner, and chain. It's an expensive job, no need to rush into it unless you know you have something coming apart and noise is your first indicator.

SOURCE: ABS & traction control just went out on 2008 Ford Escape.
Chances are it is a bad ABS sensor. Need to get scanned to know for sure and which one.
Not much i know but I hope that helps.
SOURCE: My 2002 ford escape have
The 4-cylinder 2.0-liter 16-valves DOHC 127-hp Ford Zetec engine used a timing belt that needs replacement at 120k. After 2005 both, the 2.3-liter 4-cylinder and the 3.0-liter V6 engines have a maintenance-free timing chain.
I would recommend changing the water pump while you are at it.
The 2.0 timing belt labor is 4 hours and the water pump is 10 hours in addition. Not a fun job.
Here's the process:
