Brake Fluid Leak Problems of Ford Fusion Hybrid

Tamara recall. I own a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. I was pulling out of the parking lot after work when my brakes failed entirely. I was luckily only going about 5mph and coasted into an empty spot. I had my car towed and the driver took a look at it assuming it was just the brake fluid leaking from somewhere. This was not the case. The fluid was full. After some time he ended up disconnecting the battery and when we turned the car on all warning lights were off and the brakes worked fine. The next morning I turned it on to drive to a Ford dealership and the brakes were not working again. I did some research and apparently this is a known problem with this model of car built before October 2009. Mine was built in September of 2009. At the dealership they charged us a fee to diagnose it and reprogram the computer responsible. They said if it happened again I would need to have the entire module replaced which would cost upwards of $2000 plus 8 hours of labor. Considering this model has a known issue of complete brake failure I believe it to be highly dangerous and the responsibility of the manufacturer to recall and replace this computer module.
