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 DECI…

Owner report 10513935 · 2013-05-28 (May 28, 2013)
WHILE TURNING AROUND IN A PARKING LOT AND NEITHER BRAKING OR ACCELERATING BUT SIMPLY COASTING WITH THE WHEELS TURNED VERY SHARPLY, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. QUICKLY SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES STOPPED THE ACCELERATION. THIS WAS NOT A FLOOR MAT PROBLEM SINCE THE FLOOR MAT IS ANCHORED AND CANNOT SLIDE UNDER THE ACCELERATOR. *TR

ON MAY 9, 2013 AT APPROXIMATELY 8 AM, SHORTLY AFTER ENTERING A TWO LANE STATE HIGHWAY DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID, I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE MY CAR TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT 6 FEET BEHIND A STOPPED 2007 MERCURY MARINER.

Owner report 10535170 · 2013-08-13 (August 13, 2013)
I WAS GOING DOWN A SLIGHT HILL AT APPROXIMATELY 20MPH WITHOUT BRAKES BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS STAYING AT A STEADY SPEED WITHOUT THEM. SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. I BRIEFLY APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THEN LET UP ON THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE AGAIN STARTED TO ACCELERATE. ABOUT THAT TIME I NOTICED A YELLOW WRENCH ICON (SIMILAR TO ENGINE LIGHT). WHILE I WAS LOOKING AT THE WARNING LIGHT THE VEHICLE CAME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE OVER A PERIOD O…
