When a door is opened while the car is stationary but in gear or the brakes are applied while on an incline and the vehicle stops on an incline, the parking brake engages but the dashboard light does not illuminate. When the parking brake is on, the brake pedal must be applied and the emergency brake electronic switch pressed to disengage. The parking brake. The indicator light not illuminating initially caused confusion and worry that something was wrong with the vehicle until I was able to troubleshoot and reproduce the issue at will.

My 2015 Ford Fusion hybrid had 11,000 miles on it. I opened my garage door and got in to go to work and car was dead. No electrical response. Called Ford road service and car was dragged out of my garage and onto a flat bed and taken to my dealership. Car has been in shop for a week now and still no diagnosis. No matter what they do, the car is drawing power when it is turned off and kills the battery in 2 hours. They are working with Ford system wide and no one has seen this type of fault yet. To me it seems to be some kind of software fault but per Ford troubleshooting, they have to tear my car apart and check every wire and fuse before looking at the software issues. This is my first hybrid and I am questioning my decision.
