I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY IN A FULLY LOADED CAR AND TRAFFIC WAS BUILDING UP YESTERDAY. I SAW BRAKE LIGHTS AHEAD AND DECIDED TO SLOW PROACTIVELY. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES AND THERE WAS NO SLOWING AND I HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD WITH THE PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR DID SLOW BUT I ALMOST REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT. THE YELLOW ABS AND THE RED BRAKE WARNING LAMP LIT AND THE ALARM SOUNDED. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND PULLED OFF THE NEXT EXIT. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND PUMPED THE BRAKES AND WAITED 5 MINUTES. I TURNED THE CAR ON AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WORKED BUT I WAS VERY NERVOUS ALL THE WAY HOME. I THEN GOOGLED THE ARTICLE BELOW AND AM VERY UPSET THE FORD DEALER OR FORD ITSELF NEVER ALERTED ME OF THIS KNOWN POTENTIAL MALFUNCTION....AND WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO FORMAL RECALL!?? *TR
