Replying to: degu1 (Oct 20, 2009 7:38 pm) i had the same problem with my 2006. read my previous posts. call ford directly, don't listen to your dealer. mine also said they couldn't reproduce it, so i took a photo of it when it came on and showed them the photo. eventually ford sent someone to fix it (they eventually ackknowleded it was a problem. in one of my posts i listed the fix). they resolved my problem (sort of), the light comes on for me right after i get my car serviced, but then only comes on maybe once more and then goes away. again, call ford directly, go to the website, there is a service number and file a report.

Replying to: dsteak (Oct 21, 2009 10:38 am) to save time, what is the service number. Has happened to me intermittedly. Which means maybe 5 times since I i've owned the Escape Hybrid. Probably need to get fixed before the warranty is up. I agree that the problem does not involve the master cylinder or any major repair. Has to do with the parking brake or getting the code off of the truck computer - then following the recommended repair outlined by Ford engineers.

#131 of 131 FEH Brake Problem by wantasafecar Nov 10, 2009 (11:36 am)
I am having the same problem with my 2009 FEH. Purchased car on August 11, 2009. Brakes failed while we were operating the vehicle in mid September 2009. Specifically, no response for first 2/3 of the way that braking foot moved towards floor. In last 1/3 of the distance as braking foot moved towards and touched the floor, only a weak insufficient response. Took to nearest dealer, who kept car for 5 days and replaced a travel booster switch. Dealer assured us the car was safe to drive and that the problem had been fixed. However, the same problem reoccurred while we were operating the vehicle less than a month later. Took to nearest dealer again. They had the car for 18 days. Replaced wiring harness. We are afraid to drive the vehicle.
