For several years we have been having problems with the brakes where the pedal would just randomly go to the floor and the brake response would almost go away completely. Usually once the car was shut off the brakes would come back and be fine again. They got really bad a little over a year ago and we went to a dealership after learning about a service bulletin for the brake booster. The dealership thought that…

Brakes intermittently go all the way to floor with no warning while driving on city streets (traveling straight). Car does not stop. Brake failure has happened twice recently, once when going over a railroad track (big bump), and once for no apparent reason. Took to ford, and it took them a day to look at the vehicle, and they could not reproduce the issue. They checked all the parts of the brake system and could…

During braking there is a hissing sound emanating from the area in front of the brake peddle. The braking action of the car is severely diminished causing reduced braking application during each phase of braking i.e. Emergency stopping, normal stopping. This is a safety issue that requires immediate attention. This occurs on each application of the brakes.

When driving, at any speed, brake pedal intermittently/randomly becomes soft, and goes to the floor when depressed, with little to no reduction in speed. Pumping the brakes is required in order to stop. There is no associated noise, as some have reported (such as hissing or sucking air). The mechanic is unable to accurately diagnose or duplicate the issue at this time. He reports that it could be the master cylinder…

I had break issues where the pedal was tight and it took a lot of pressure to stop. Took it to the dealer resulting in the break booster being replaced under warranty. Maybe 3 months later i had more problems breaking. This time the pedal was soft and would travel to the floor while breaking. This time the dealer says it's the hydraulic control unit. Sounds like both parts should be under warranty and replaced at…

Could not stop. Had to use both feet on brake to stop. Good thing i was only backing out of my driveway. Had to have brake booster replaced. A brake booster should last the life time of the car and not be replaced. My edge in a 2011 with 119,000 miles . We never received any letter about this being a problem on the ford edge. . Shouldn't ford reimburse us ?

Its' the same issue and will cost $894.89 to fix, but ford has wiped their hands of it. This is a safety issue and the car…
