#34 Sep 10 2018 Focus 60,000 miles
When hard braking and hitting a bump in the road, the brake pedal will travel further, almost to the floor and it feels like I will not stop. For a while afterwards the brake pedal will still travel further making you fell like you will not stop. Talked to the dealer (crest Ford in center line, mi, mike) and he explained this is normal. After the hard brake and the wheels leave the ground, the ABS system thinks there is a problem and does a full diagnostics, during which time the brake pedal travel is increase until the diagnostic check is complete. No other car I have own does this and do not think this is should be this way. This has happened a few times last winter, then when it happened on dry payment I called to bring it in and they told me not - Warren, MI, USA

78,000 miles
The contact owns a 2012 Ford Focus. While reversing at 4 mph, the contact depressed the brake pedal and the pedal traveled to the floorboard, failing to slow the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to fraser Ford sales ltd (815 king St w, oshawa, on L1J 8N5, Canada), but the dealer was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The dealer flushed the brake lines; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to fraser Ford sales ltd, but the failure could not be diagnosed again. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact replaced the master cylinder, brake lines, and calipers, but the failure continued. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000.
