Mastersince you just had them repaired, return to the shop and have them fix it for you free. you should have brakes after his repair. another spot may have rotted out. have them re check there work.

You don't say whether the ABS light is on or off at this time but if it's on, there's no ABS function so that's a safety issue. Get it corrected ASAP.
If your mechanic let the car go with bad brakes, I think you need to find someone who takes it more seriously, like a Ford specialist.
