Today while driving down the highway I put my foot on the brake and my foot went straight to the floor. After pulling over I realized that it was on and off. The vehicle is still undriveable.

I have a Focus 2013. I have that problem since I bought that car. Took it to the dealer several times and they never managed to fix it.
In my case, I have a really stiff brake pedal in two occasions:
- If I am accelerating and then very quickly hit the brakes
- If I am in autopilot and hit the breaks (not every time though)
My impression is that the problem is electronic because the brakes work just fine on all other occasions (or if I step out and then press it again when it is stiff). Maybe is it an anti flip-over mechanism in case you hit the breaks accidentally? Or ABS issues. Not sure. But definitely not mechanical or vacuum.
Had 3 near misses already. I don't know what to do as the dealer said they can't reproduce the error.
