I braked hard on a normal 3-lane city street to avoid an incident. I was going straight, not turning. There seemed to be no unusual circumstances other than an unexpected need to 'slam on the brakes' to avoid a bad driver. From that point 30-60 days ago, my brakes have been soft/spongy.

I purchased this car june 10th 2017, it is now february 19th 2018 and my brakes have went out 4 times. This is the 4th time recently it has happened, the 3 times before they were said to be fixed. I was in the snow on a residential road when they went out. I am afraid if this car continues to drive someone will be severely hurt from the in-ability to stop the vehicle correctly.

Ultimately i found that ford would replace the…
