general problems of the 2007 Ford Focus

Had a car stop suddenly in front of me and I had to apply the brakes hard. The abs system made a strange sound and the pedal went to the floor. I missed the car in front of me, but now my brakes aren't working properly and there is fluid all over the abs module assembly.

On an icy road I braked and the abs system engaged slowing the vehicle. After that, the brake pedal travels much farther before braking occurs during normal everyday driving. If I pump the pedal a couple of times the brake pedals engages the brakes like it used to. A local automotive repair business could not find anything wrong with the brake system. I did an online search and found my exact symptoms listed in Ford recall 19s54. . Read more...

Car in motion, while braking and making a turn would lose brake pedal pressure if going over rough road. On 9/24/14, this situation resulted in an accident, collision with another vehicle due to inability to stop. Insurance repaired the car cosmetically, but did not address or repair the braking issue. First time to dealer after the accident, they tried bleeding the brakes. This did not fix the problem. I continued to drive car until large amount of brake fluid appeared in driveway. Second dealer repaired by replacing the abs hydraulic control unit at a cost of over $2000. Brake pedal pressure problem was finally resolved. Today, 8/29/2017, while driving off an exit ramp, braking and turning onto a road that was being resurfaced (rough road transition), I lost brake pedal pressure. Pedal went nearly to floor. Pedal was soft through the next few miles. I parked the car to attend an event. Then I continued home, driving included a few more traffic light stops on my way home, the brake pedal pressure suddenly returned. Tonight's event brings back memories of the same situations I experienced with this car years ago. I have attached a brief insurance summary about the nature of the claim. I was not able to find the police report, but may be able to request another copy should you want it.

While trying to solve this problem years ago, I came across others experiencing the same symptoms.
