Description of the problem	I have been experiencing issues with the brake pedal losing pressure or "going soft" after incidents of heavy braking. Along with the spongy pedal, an apparent loss of braking power is now evident also. An occurrence of this problem happened once before about 2-3 months ago but the problem seemed to go away after several hours of the vehicle being turned off. The most recent instance happened a couple of days ago when i needed to brake quickly while driving on the interstate. I felt the abs system kick in and the vehicle stopped. However, during the heavy braking the pedal traveled much further than normal and afterwards much of the effectiveness of the pedal was lost. The braking system remains in this state at the time of typing this. After doing some internet researching, i have found that many other milan and fusion owners have experienced the same problems with their vehicles. I have consulted with the local ford dealer as well as ford customer service, and both have stated that they have no knowledge of prior problems like the ones i have described. I have an appointment to have the brakes inspected by the dealer on 1/4/17.
