| I was driving on the freeway and had just exited to a surface street. the vehicle suddenly slowed down and wouldn't go over 15 miles per hour. a red triangle and a message appeared on the instrument panel. it said something like you may now safely pull over and come to a stop. thankfully i was not still on a very crowded freeway when this happened. it would have been very unsafe to be in the left lane of one of the most crowded freeways in the country and the car suddenly will not go more than 15 mph. i took the car to a ford dealer the next day and they could not find anything wrong. the diagnosis cost me $200. i am very hesitant to drive this car now. | |||

| On 1/1712013 i was driving back to my office in light traffic when suddenly i heard a ding and noticed red words appeared on my dash where the hybrid gauge normally is. it read brake system failure. i had it towed from my mechanic to the dealership mechanic. i was told it was the vacuum hose and had it repaired. on 2/15/2013, it happened again, twice. first time i was going about 30mph and made a hard right turn to a side street where once again pumping the brakes did nothing. i switched to neutral and coasted to a stop. after 10 minutes i decided to drive home and i would call the mechanics in the morning (they were already closed). en route to my house, which was 3 miles from the failure point, they failed again. same message, same ding, same problem. no brake power of any sort. i flipped on my hazard lights on, switched to neutral, which did slightly slow the car down, and rolled down a bridge. i took the first hard right turn and was able to get slow enough to grab the emergency brake and turn off the car. it has been towed back to the dealership and i will talk to them, again, in the morning when they open. *tr | |||
