Needed to replaced brake booster on vehicle with 84,000 miles. Brakes had to be tromped on in order to stop, very dangerous. All else was ok with the brakes. All repairs shops said this should have been under warranty for under 100,000 miles and less than 10 years old. Cost to repair was over $650.00. Please look into this dangerous situation.-also, still waiting for notification for airbag recall.

Recall 13n02 covers the brake booster in 2010-2015 ford edge. My 2008 edge has the exact same issue as diagnosed by a ford dealership. It is the exact same issue with the exact same component. The replacement part for either is the exact same, as i verified with numerous suppliers. The recall needs to be expanded to cover more years, as my wife now drives an unsafe vehicle. Ford redesigned the edge for the 2010…

When traveling on highway with cruise control engaged, a need for rapid braking resulted in a momentary "hard" brake pedal before disengaging cruise control. When stopped at traffic signal with foot on brake, pedal gradually sinks towards floorboard and feels soft and "mushy" attempt at braking while driving along at steady speed (50mph), the brake pedal was hard and resistant resulting in delayed braking action.…

They went back to working after that. Now i am afraid to drive it…

When breaking the break pedal was very difficult to push and slow in reacting. This nearly caused an accident on the first incident in a standard braking situation. After that the breaks seemed to be back to normal. This has happened a couple more times and the car is really not safe to drive. If emergency braking was needed there would be no way to stop in time and was very near to causing multiple accidents in…

I slammed on the brakes as the result of a change in the traffic and my brakes did not react and brake pedal was very stiff and barely moved toward the floor. I feel fortunate that there was no accident or injury, but my mechanic tells me i need a new brake booster and possibly a master cylinder as a result of this faulty part.…

I was driving to the mall and all of a sudden i could barely press on the brakes. It was extremely difficult to press the brake pedal. I heard hissing sounds like air releasing. I took it to a mechanic and he said the brake booster was going out and this is a world wide problem with ford edges. I have yet to have it fixed as the part is extremely expensive.

Without warning, brakes failed. Thankfully was traveling slowly as parking the car. There was a hissing sound and brake pedal went all the way to the floor. We were lucky. Could have been a disaster. Car is at private mechanic. Told master cylinder and brake booster bad. Why wouldn't we have had a warning prior to such a potentially disastrous failure. Why wouldn't the brake warning light have activated. *tr
