I drive a 2007 Mercury Milan, and I experienced a low brake pedal after an abs event. I was travelling at 25 mph and was approaching a traffic light that was changing to red. I applied the brakes to stop and slid on a patch of ice. My abs kicked in and immediately afterwards my brake pedal fell to the floor. I was able to continue driving, however, I felt very unsafe. When pressing the brake pedal there was a split second of pressure and then the pedal would fall to the floor. I was able to stop, however, my stopping distance increased greatly. I was able to get where I was going but I parked the car after and refused to drive it. This same thing happened to me about a year ago, but after a day the pedal came back and seemed to be operating correctly. I had a brake maintenance done, and everything looked fine. I assumed maybe it was a fluke. Since that time I have replaced all pads and rotors, so when this event happened again I knew it had to be something else. I looked around a little bit and it appears I am not the only one having this issue. I had the abs pump replaced about a week ago, and so far it seems to be working. The mechanic that replaced the pump made the car go into an abs event and the brake pedal stayed stiff. I do not know if this is the fix or not, but it brought my brake pedal back for the time being. I sincerely hope NHTSA investigates. Finding yourself with a low brake pedal is terrifying, especially in winter.
