Description of the problem	I was driving, normally around town. My brakes have been working find and normal up until this point. Then, all of sudden i went to press my brakes and the pedal almost went to the floor. Luckily, there was not any cars in front of me or was at an intersection. Several warning lights came on: check engine wrench, abs light, service advance track and e brake light. So, i was close to my home and i drove it slowly to my house and checked underneath the hood. The brake fluid level was fine and no brake line leaks whatsoever. Next, i researched the problem online and found out that it is an abs module failure. I also found out that ford had a recall on their abs system, but for only years 2006-2010. Go figure, the new module costs over $500 plus, then labor charges and a dealer has to reprogram the abs system. Wow, what a super expensive unforeseen repair pill.
