| Description of the problem | For the past several months, the brake pedal has been intermittently low and now is very low all the time. My understanding is that this is a common problem with the hydraulic abs valve unit that does not allow full pressure to reach the calipers, resulting in the low pedal. It is not the master cylinder. My research has shown that this is a broad problem with the mercury milan and the ford fusion. This needs to be investigated as a significant safety issue because it is a safety issue. It is a very common problem and can result in a suddenly unexpected increase in stopping distance and result in accidents, injury, and death. |
