When I park my car at night I normally leave my car in neutral and put the E brake on, in the summer this isn't a problem. In the winter when I leave for work in the morning, it doesn't release off my brakes and the E brake handle feels really loose. I can drive and eventually the brakes let go, but after the dealer doing f*** all about it last winter, I don't use the E brake on cold days and leave the car in gear. Has anyone else had this problem so I can go to the dealer and tell them what to look for?Given the timing of when the problem actually occurs, I would take your car to the dealer the night before - park it and put the e-brake on - and then leave them a note with your keys.

I know it's a pain, but because of Ford's warranty processes the dealer can't fix something that they can't diagnose - so you have to do whatever it takes to help them see the problem.
