What owners wrote
Car had 2,500 miles when both brake lights illuminated and only had manual braking. Car was towed to dealership where they needed to consult with ford specialists to determine the problem because they weren't sure if it was the master cylinder or the brakes. The replacement part had to pulled from the assembly line because the parts were not due until 8-15-2007. Replaced master cylinder on 7-26-2007.
ABS and regen brakes disabled warning lights went on when starting car from parked position; have been advised by ford dealer and on line reports by car owners that brakes can fail and we should not drive the car. Replacing regen brake system more than 6k ; this is a safety problem requiring manufacturer recall;
