MERCURY Complaints

AFTER AN ANTI-LOCK-BRAKE-ASSISTED BRAKING MANEUVER, ON BOTH WET AND DRY ROAD SURFACES, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES SOFT, AND REQUIRES EXTRAORDINARY PRESSURE TO ACTIVATE THE BRAKES. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM ON BOTH WET ROAD SURFACES (FOR EXAMPLE, DURING OR AFTER RAIN) AND DRY ROAD SURFACES (FOR EXAMPLE, ROUGH SURFACES OR OTHER IRREGULARITIES IN THE ROAD). THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING REGULARLY FOR ABOUT A YEAR. WHILE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AREN'T USED REGULARLY WHILE DRIVING, THE 5-6 TIMES THEY HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED IN THIS TIME FRAME HAVE INCURRED THE PROBLEM. AFTERWARDS, I HAVE TO APPLY MUCH MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. THIS HAPPENS DURING NORMAL STOP-AND-GO TYPE SITUATIONS ON BOTH WET AND DRY ROAD SURFACES.
