Thank you to the both of you for the info! Iolder, the only time the car ran like this on the gas engine was during this "Check Brake System" issue, we've had the car since we bought it brand new in May 2011. So it was only this summer and now that this happened. During the summer the cold wasn't the issue, though right now I guess it could be, but we've had colder winters before and it was fine. I will definitely be bringing it in soon! Crystal, I will definitely be in touch within the next week, we want to get this resolved ASAP. Thank you!

Thank you for that information! The Check Brake System light is on and the car doesn't run on electric anymore (this happened the last time as well), it only runs the gas engine when this happens. Is that normal for that recall problem as well? Thank you for your help so far!

Hello everyone, I'm hoping to get some insight here and maybe you guys can help me. We have a 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid and we had the check brake system light come on at start up. Initially it felt like we lost all brake pressure and would push the brake all the way to the ground but it did stop. Subsequently it would be fine but still have the light on. We took it in to the dealership where the brake light suddenly was off and they couldn't find anything wrong. They said our rear brakes were extremely worn and we needed new rotors (even at only 42k miles)--also told us our front brakes were absolutely fine. We had them completely replace the rear brakes and rotors, then it was fine for the past 4 months and now all of a sudden the check brake system light is back on with the same issue. Before we bring it back to the dealership again, I just wanted to research a little to see what the potential problem actually could be, I'm afraid they would just tell us the front brakes need to be done now even though we have barely driven the car (under 1000 mi since the rear brakes were replaced), and they would try to take us for a ride. Thanks for any insight! I know there was a recall on 2010-2011 hybrid models regarding a brake software issue, but affected owners were supposed to be notified back in 2012. Is it possible that is the problem here? Thank you!!
