Brake Light On problems of the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid

Car was driving fine. I was driving within low speed city limits. I was driving down the road when all of a sudden, my checkadvancetrac light, abs light, and brake lights all came on. When I tried to slow down for a stop, there were no brakes, I kept trying but then finally I tried again and I had to slam down on the brakes to even get the car to stop. It was very dangerous, I couldn't stop, it scared me. I checked the brake fluid after I got home which was fine. I let it sit, pumped the brakes hard, and now the brakes started working, but the lights are still on. This is my daily driver for work and its very scary. This all happened after the airbags were replaced, which I had to wait 6 months for. I should not have to drive an unsafe car. Please look into this. This is ongoing problem when you research online. There is even a Ford bulletin code attached but Ford dealerships are not willing to fix the problem. The number is TSB-09-22-11.

I was driving and making a turn. Brakes went very soft and had to press brake pedal to floor to get it to stop. Brake warning light and anti-skid lights illuminated on dashboard.

Installed new battery, had air bag replaced, and the issue occurred again. I am still driving the vehicle but do not feel that it is safe. When will your company and Ford take this seriously? when someone dies like with the air bag recall. This needs to be diagnosed and Ford needs to pay for the repairs due to all the complaints.
