While driving my 2007 Ford Fusion approximately 35 miles an hour and approaching a stoplight, I applied the brakes to slow down and the car passed over a rough patch of road with several potholes. The brake pedal became soft and moved down towards the floorboard and the car coasted without continuing to slow down. After releasing the brake pedal and then applying the brakes again, the pedal was still soft and the car continued to coast and eventually came to a stop well into the intersection after the brake pedal was mashed to the floor. The soft brake issue continued as I drove the car to a repair shop to have it looked at. The repair shop has been able to remedy the fix by bleeding the brake lines but the issue has reoccurred over time and there does not appear to be a permanent fix made available. This is the fourth occurrence of this "soft brake" problem over the last two years. Each time it has occurred I have avoided a collision but worry that I may not be as lucky the next time this occurs. I purchased the vehicle new in July 2007 and had no brake issues until two years ago. Given that this is a recurring problem, I have done some research and noticed that others are beginning to have the same experience that I am and have reported it. I hope the NHTSA is able to investigate this issue and issue a recall that will make these vehicles safer for everyone on the road.
