Abs brake controller: after abs was activated on a slippery stop, abs light and traction control light illuminate intermittently at startup and while driving. Abs and/or traction control operate intermittently during normal dry stops. The behavior is consistent with the descriptions on the NHTSA site of cars with fouled abs controller valves. Turning off the traction control system seems to decrease the frequency that abs gets activated during normal stops.

I was entering a left hand curve with the brake applied. The road was a little rough and as I applied the brake harder, the pedal went to the floor. I pumped the brakes, but the car slid off the road and into the ditch stopping against the bank of the ditch and a pole. In the past 12 months the abs warning light had come on several times, but had not stayed on the next time the car was started.

I finally got the abs control module replaced in the Ford Fusion after living with 'soft brakes' for many years. When an abs event occurs, the pedal goes soft immediately after, and the braking distance significantly increases. The abs warning light never came on. Ford should be more responsible about taking care of this defect before people get hurt.

Abs light is on with soft braking.

Absolutely malfunction on gravel and snow, brakes go to floor and vehicle skids and need to pump brakes to return to normal brake brakes system ok mechanic states abs valve body bad. No abs malfunction light ever came on. Close to accident with 3 children in car.

After engaging the abs on light snow, my brakes became spongy. Couple of inches of play on the brake pedal before it would engage.

Light snow on roads when I approached a stop sign. Approached slowly and began to lightly apply the brakes. Felt/heard abs engage when the brake pedal lost all resistance and went to the floor. Began franticly pumping the brakes and, after approximately 10 pumps, they returned. Pulled away from intersection and lightly applied brakes on a dry area of pavement; same result as above. Abs indicator light is not on. Immediately took vehicle to a repair facility (pumping my leg off every time I had to decrease speed) and they found no issue. Stated the problem is likely with the abs hcu (as they had seen the same issue occur on a Lincoln mks). Pedal restored to normal while traveling home from shop.
