Called FORD to report the issue was told to have it fixed keep the receipt in case of a future recall, however she doubted that would happen due to the age of the car. The back hatch releases when you press the brake pedal no matter what speed you are traveling, even after the latch has released and you press the brake you can audibly hear the mechanism moving to release the latch even though it isn't closed. This only happens when the car is running, if the car is turned off it doesn't do it.
