Description of the problem	Regenerative braking system light appeared on dash, 2013. Took vehicle in to get checked. Was told that it was the master cylinder. Cost approx 1500. 00. Went on line and found that other people had same experience and after paying for the replacement of the master cylinder they then had to replace the an abs module to the tune of 4500. 00. Took my vehicle to another dealership feb of 2014 and was told the abs module needed replaced for 4,724. 00 and then the master cylinder for 1360. 00. The mechanic did not advise driving due to the potential brake failure. I only have 18,600 miles on this vehicle which makes it difficult to justify putting that much more money into it. It seems to a problem ford needs to deal with. It does involve a safety issue and i'm not sure if they are going to wait until some one dies before they decide to do a recall.
