Description of the problem	My 2008 lincoln mkz has a diminished braking capability after an abs event on the snow a few days ago. The abs cycle worked, then my pedal has an extra inch or 2 of travel and feels unsafe. This is the third incident like this with the car in the 5 years i have owned after buying it certified pre-owned from ford. When i research the problem on line, i see multiple cases in the 2006 to 2008 lincoln mkz/zephr, the ford fusion and the mercury milan. All of the on-line reports say the only fix is to replace the hydraulic control valve for the abs system. None of appears to be covered by ford. I am taking mine to the local ford dealer tomorrow to have them look at mine and drive it while it is acting up. I feel something as critical to the safe braking of the vehicle that appears to be a chronic model problem ought to be addressed by ford. The part is expensive to replace and should be done by qualified service.
