The speed control deactivation switch was replaced in my 2002 Mercury Mountaineer by a local dealer after the original recall was issued [Ford recall campaign number 09s09]. Approximately 6 months ago, the low brake fluid light began to illuminate. Over time, the cause of the brake fluid loss became obvious as the brake fluid began to visibly leak from the new speed control deactivation switch. Presently, the low brake fluid level light illuminates every three to four days with minimal driving. The brake fluid reservoir requires approximately one quarter of its capacity upon every occurrence. It appears that the replacement speed control deactivation switch may be faulty as well. Hopefully, this is a rare occurrence, but in case it becomes more wide spread, I wanted to bring the issue to someone's attention.
