On September 15, 2011 I was driving my 5 month old 2011 Ford Fusion hybrid with 5700 miles on it when a brake warning light came on and a warning tone sounded in my vehicle. I pulled over and stopped the vehicle. I called walker Ford in clearwater and they said it probably was only a defective rear brake light and bring it in when you have time. I restarted my vehicle and the warning light and tone were gone. I continued driving home and when I was almost home, the brake warning light came on again and so did the warning tone. But this time I noticed my estimated miles per gallon on the onboard computer system was going up and down and the vehicle no longer went into the electric hybrid mode. I called walker Ford and told them I was going to bring the vehicle in on the morning of September 16th. I brought it in and all day long they troubleshot it and walker Ford could not figure out what was wrong with it. They put a call into the Ford technician hotline to find out what was wrong with the vehicle. At the end of the day they did not hear back from the hotline and I needed a vehicle to get home. Walker Ford wanted to give my vehicle back to me to drive home and use over the weekend. I refused saying that the manual said to bring the vehicle in for service for the brake warning light and the electric/hybrid system not working. Nothing in the manual said to continue driving the vehicle. So walker Ford finally gave me a loaner to drive. Monday September 19th they got an answer from the hotline and it said a vacuum hose/assembly was bad and they put one on order. The next day the part was not delivered but a notice that the part was not available but back ordered and it would become available sometime around October 14th. I contacted Ford customer service and made a complaint case # 1430472631.

When the weather gets below freezing the parking brake freezes - you can release the parking brake with the parking brake handle and the parking brake warning light goes off but the parking brake stays engaged with the driver unknowing that the parking brake did not release. When this happens the driver is not aware of the parking brake being engaged until the brakes get so hot that smoke begins to pour from the rear wheels with the possibility of this causing a fire from all the heat. Also when the parking brake does not release and you apply the brakes while driving the vehicle the brakes do not respond the same as when they are applied under normal driving conditions. This problem has been occurring every time the weather gets below freezing since the vehicle was bought new and the defect has been reported to the local Ford service department numerous times with them making an effort to correct this defect but it has not helped and the problem still exist. This vehicle is in north alabama where the weather gets cold but not in an area in the northern states where the weather is much colder. This problem happened again this morning and the low temperature for the night was 30 degree f and it has not rained in over a week. I own three other vehicles that are parked in the same area as this vehicle that do not have any problem as with this vehicle.

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.
