2014 FFH brakes engage kind-of suddenly

[2014FordFusionSE]

Hello,

 

It's a difficult one to explain. No dashboard lights, no sponginess in the pedal and I've taken it to a dealership and had the brake fluid exchanged. The dealership said that the pads and rotors have a lot of life left. The car is 12 years old with a 104k miles.

When I press the brakes, it seems like the slow down is not very gradual. I'll press the brakes and at some point, it seems to suddenly slow down as though the brakes decided to suddenly wake up and engage.

It's not at an alarming level but I'm trying to make sure it doesn't get worse somehow.

 

The service advisor also said that the brake booster and ABS in these cars are very expensive to replace and not worth it, assuming it comes to that at some point.

 

Any thoughts on what I should do/check?

Replaced the front and rear brake pads even if they look good. They absorb moisture and get grabby.
