1 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 07/28/2017

Since purchasing the vehicle from gresham Ford on 12/10/16, there have been three separate occasions when the vehicle lost control while braking and did not stop when expected. I was very fortunate to avoid collisions on all three occasions. The first incident occurred on 7/28/17. The roads were dry. I was driving on the interstate at highway speed when I saw stopped traffic ahead and had to stop quickly. I had plenty of time to slow down and stop, however, when I applied the brakes, the tires squealed, vehicle skidded and actually left tire marks on the road and I was very close to not being able to stop in time. I took the Ford in to gresham Ford to get the brakes checked the next day and was told by a service tech. That the brakes were fine, but that I might want to get the abs checked out. The next incident occurred on January 11, 2018, when I was driving on the interstate, traveling at 60 mph in the rain. I tapped the brakes lightly as I entered into some water that had pooled (not deeply) on the roads. My car completely lost control and started hydroplaning. I could not pull out of the hydroplane for 20-30 seconds. My car was pulling towards the exterior guardrail for some time and then suddenly it was as if someone grabbed my steering wheel and pulled it as hard as they could to the left. I started traveling diagonally across lanes of traffic, but was able to recover because the vehicle stopped hydroplaning at that point. The third incident occurred on October 26, 2018. I was going about 40-45. It was raining, but not enough to hydroplane. The stoplight turned yellow and I knew I didn't have time to make it through before it turned red. I had to stop quickly, but when I did, instead of stopping, my vehicle began skidding (not hydroplaning) and sliding forward. The car was difficult to control and was pulling me toward the left lane.

2 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 06/03/2007

I have had my vehicle since April 2007. Since that time my check brakes and brake fluid light keeps coming on while driving. I pull over and pop the hood to check my brake fluid levels and it is okay. I mentioned this twice to the service departments when bringing my vehicle in for routine oil changes and they have not found anything wrong or a reason for this light to keep coming on in the dash gauges. Has anyone else had a similar problem and if so what is the solution. Could this be a relay or switch that is faulty. I would just like to not have this light coming on 10-20 times a day while driving because it is annoying to have to keep pushing the reset button on my dash. The red brake symbol does however stay lit once I press the reset button.
