This is the second time in the past month my brakes went soft after pulsating to a quick stop (abs I guess kicked in). I took it to a mechanic the first time and he couldn't find anything wrong with the brake system. After he looked at it and did a few things to make abs light come on, they went back to normal. Now it's back, after I had to brake in the snow at a light on the highway. They are back to being spongy and I have to push down further to come to a complete stop.
What I will be describing has happened on more than one occasion: when stopping my vehicle on an uneven surface, my brakes make a whirrring noise and I lose my brakes. Fortunately I have not had to avoid another vehicle or stationary item. Once I ran a stop sign, but it was at a four-way and no other vehicles were present. After this happens my brakes get "squishy". I feel like I have lost 1/2 of my brakes function. I am very careful when stopping and tend to slow much sooner than needed. After a long time it seems like my brakes are "back", but when I have to stop and use the abs we cycle through the same problem. I have taken my vehicle to the local Ford dealer (where I have my car regularly serviced) and I was told that after inspection my brakes look fine. If I want further diagnostics I would have to pay approximately $100 just to "see". A local mechanic told me that unless my abs warning light was on he could not even run the diagnostics. My abs light has never came on.
