Description of the problem	On 01/05/18 i had to slam on brakes to avoid a car running a stop sign on a city street. The brake pedal vibrated-pulsed as abs system activated. Then the pedal went all the way to the floor and barely stopped before hitting the other car. Scared me bad! After, the brakes are very soft and pedal travel is definitely much more than before. This is dangerous and after a quick google i find this is not an uncommon problem. I have also noticed that the complaints concerning the abs system have a wide range of occurrences that seems not to be associated with mileage. I am the original owner and my car has less than 42,000 miles. I've seen complaints of this happening to cars with over 150,000 miles. That would seem to rule out the notion of worn out abs pumps. With a part replacement cost in the $600 range (not including installation) i can see why ford hesitates to issue a recall but a recall is what should be done. This is definitely a safety concern! I urge you to please see this trend that has been going on for way too long!
