On 1/6/14 and 1/7/14, the brake warning sign would briefly light up in the upper left end of the dashboard. The local dealership changed oil and filter and performed a multi-point inspection on 1/8/14 and found no break problem. On 1/31/14, while on cruise control at 55 mph, the car started decelerating to 50, 45 and 40 mph on the highway in just a few seconds; I did not have time to read the warning signal and I only saw the word "break. " I was able to resume my driving without any further incidence. A similar deceleration incident happened on 2/3/14. The warning signal was longer and I thought I read in the upper left end of the dashboard: "brake pad engaged. " the local dealer checked the break system and could not find anything wrong. The service department contacted the Ford motor company that had no clue about the problem. Another similar deceleration incident happened again on 2/11/14. The warning signal was longer and read:" park brake engaged. " the brake signal also came on in the lower right end of the dashboard. Again, I was able to complete my drive and later drive back (one hour) to the local dealer service department without further incidence. On 2/12/14, the service department notified me that it did not find anything wrong and "headquarters" is saying that it needs to see the warning signal (that lasts only a few seconds to one minute). I am telling them that I want to drive a safe car and not have it suddenly decelerate in front of a semi-truck. The car is still in the dealer's service department. I would appreciate any assistance in this matter.
