DURING A STOP, MY ABS ENGAGED AND AFTER THAT TIME, MY BRAKES BECAME VERY SOFT, REQUIRED THE PEDAL TO BE PUSHED ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND OFFERED VERY LITTLE STOPPING POWER.  I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS ALREADY CLOSED FOR THE EVENING.  THE NEXT DAY, THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND THEORIZED THAT THE EXTREME COLD TEMPERATURES DIDN'T ALLOW THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (HCU) TO REROUTE FLUID PROPERLY AFTER THE ABS ENGAGED.  THEY ADVISED ME THAT IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN, I MAY NEED TO REPLACE THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT.  I'M GUESSING MY CAR HAD ROUGHLY 100,000 MILES ON IT AT THAT TIME.  ON NOVEMBER 4, 2017, I WAS DRIVING IN A BLIZZARD THAT HAD STARTED AFTER A PERIOD OF RAIN SO THE ROADS WERE EXTREMELY SLICK AND ICY.  ONCE AGAIN, MY ABS ENGAGED WHICH LED TO A BRAKE FAILURE. I ALSO HAPPENED TO BE AT THE SUMMIT OF A MOUNTAIN WITH A 5% GRADE - NOT A GREAT TIME TO LOSE YOUR BRAKES!  I TOOK MY CAR IN TO A SHOP ON 11-6-17 TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.  THEY WITNESSED THE BRAKE FAILURE AND AFTER TESTING, DETERMINED THAT THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT HAD FAILED.  THEY REPLACED THE HCU (WITH A USED UNIT AT A MATERIALS/LABOR COST OF ROUGHLY $450) AND I WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT TIME MY ABS ENGAGES.  MY CAR CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 115,000 MILES ON IT.  I CONSIDER MYSELF EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT I DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT DURING EITHER OF THESE MALFUNCTIONS.  THE HCU FAILURE IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2008","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FUSION","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
