Description of the problem | With the recent announcement of a software glitch on the fusion and milan hybrids, i have had similar occurrences on my 2006 mercury hybrid, where it felt like i was trying to stop on wet leaves. It seemed like braking was fine initially, then it faded (as i described above) but with more pressure on the pedal, it did return to "normal" braking. This has happened only about 3 or 4 times of the 3 years of ownership, and i have not taken it to a dealer. I initially thought it was due to wet brakes, and thought nothing further of it. But given the recent recall by ford, i thought it was necessary to at least report the occurrences. Date indicated is an approximation of one of the occurrences, which was just after i had surgery. |
