Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2012 Ford Fusion

The brake pedal is soft and travels further than normal. Braking distance is significantly increased. This began after the abs system engaged several weeks ago after normal braking over a rough section of road and it has not returned to normal. All brake pads and rotors were replaced and the system was flushed but the problem remains. Based on some research it appears this is a known issue caused by a faulty abs module.

Driver seat, heater got super hot to the point of burning a few time, then stopped working altogether by 68k miles. Brakes, right side front completely wore thru outside pad only by 48k miles, right rear did same thing by 70k. In both instances only one pad was shot. Why only one pad wearing to backing plate, looks like pads not releasing. Electrical, all windows, including moon roof, open by themselves while nowhere near car and it's locked.

I brought my car in to the dealers for a warranty issue. Upon checking the vehicle, they informed me the rear brake pads were worn to the metal and were damaging the rotors. They suggested it was unsafe as is and I should have the rear pads and rotors replaced ASAP. I drive long distances each day and usually get 70-80,000 miles before needing the front pads replaced and over 100,000 miles before needing new rotors replaced. I feel there is a major problem/malfunction with the rear brakes on Ford Fusions and they should be investigated and a safety recall issued.
