    Sudden loss brakes in a hard stop. There are videos explaining the problem where the abs unit goes into bypass and for one wheel; but then the value does not reset. This issue has happened to me 4 times while driving the car, and to my wife once. Taking out the abs fuse, and thereby disabling the function solves the problem, as the bypass valve will not engage. However you lose the mandated feature of abs. Detailed…

    I was driving and when i need to make a hard stop, the brake pedal went to the floor. I had to use the emergency brake to help slow me down. While there is some braking, if you are stopped and push hard on the brakes, the pedal goes to the floor.

    The vehicle will not stop completely sometimes. Other times, the brake pedal is all the way to the floor before the vehicle will cease movement. No matter how great or how little pressure is applied to the brakes the pedal will go all the way to the floor.

    Purchased vehicle about 2 months ago. This morning i was slowing the vehicle at a stop light. Once pressure was applied to the pedal it would continue to progress all the way to the floor. Checked brake fluid and it was full. Problem persisted so vehicle was taken to the dealership.

    Sudden and complete failure of the braking system. The pedal went to the floor and continuos pumping did very little to stop the vehicle. It was immediately taken to sarasota ford in sarasoat fl.

    Engine stalls at stop (after letting up on brake and auto start stop re-starts the engine) followed by "hill start assist not available" error flashes along with other brake related errors; vehicle engine won't turn over/start unless transmission is put back into park. Upon restarting all engine error/fault messages are cleared and things seem back to normal. Today was the second time this has happened. The first…

    While driving at 35mph, the low brake fluid warning light came on. Within 200m while trying to slow, brake pedal went to the floor with complete and total loss of braking ability. While using emergency brake, large puff of smoke came from exhaust

    When i come to a stop the brakes will be firm and the go soft and go all the way to the floor. Also when i press the brakes i have to pump them so they will work. When this happens i'm either at a stop sign or a stop light. Its also happened when i'm coming to a stop. The worse part it happens separately and the dealership thinks i'm crazy.
