Heard noises when braking up, brake pedal sponge, pump brake pedal a couple times to get solid braking.

The brakes skip when going at slow speeds, specially when going down on ramps. This has happened to us several times specially in parking garages.

While braking on a highway I felt something was wrong with the brakes as I had to push the pedal with all my might to slow down. After exiting the ramp and approaching a stop light it was apparent that I had no "real" brakes..again pedal to the floor with a very long distance to come to a complete stop. At this time I could hear a very loud kind of whistling sound coming from the pedal when I applied the brakes..again to the floor. As I pulled into a parking lot it felt like I lost all control...almost like no power at all to stop the car. This has been reported to Ford..my mechanic said it was the brake booster.

This is my daughters vehicle. She complained of a noise in the front end while braking and sometimes while just driving at moderate speeds. Upon inspection I discovered that the inner brake pads on both front brakes were totally worn out and grinding on the metal while the outer pads had plenty of brake material left. The rotors were ruined! the rear brake pads also had plenty of material left. This is totally unacceptable and dangerous.
