I received a recall for the break booster and had it repaired august 2015.

On march 15, 2017, part failed, while i was parking again, which it is covered by warranty, however, there is something seriously wrong for the brake system to continually fail and ford does not want to respond to…

The driver side door sensor is bad. The vehicle is unsafe because the sensor remains on all the time even when the door is closed. So if the door is ever open, you would not know because all the sensors are bad so you assume it is just an error message. Also - on this vehicle - the brakes feel spongy at times and are not good, even though having the brakes looked at and they have checked as confirmed sound with new…

Notification of a brake booster failure. My car is serviced regularly and the brakes werelways stated as normal. I seen an alert on your website about the brake booster and when i talked to ford the woman stated if you are not having problems ford will not do anything. I guess you have to get in an accident. She did say i could take it to a ford dealer and have them look at it which means i bear the cost since it is…

Purchased my 2011 ford edge in june/july of 2014 for jc lewis ford in savannah, ga. Turns out there was an "extended warranty" in place because the brake booster's in this car have been failing. I'm not sure why they would have sold me a car without completing a repair or informing me of the possibility of malfunction. About a month ago, i was driving down the interstate at about 65 mph when i was cut off by another…

While driving the brake pedal began get hard and not depressing applying enough pressure the the brake pads. The harder you push the better they worked so determined the brake booster had failed. The problem was intermittent at first and then became regular. Called ford service to find out they had extended the warranty on this part but did not do a recall. This is a dangerous part to have fail intermittently as it…

On occasion, when breaking at slow speeds (like pulling into a parking space) while depressing the brake peddle, the car will accelerate and lurch forward. My foot was nowhere near the accelerator peddle. This happens about once every few weeks.

Brake booster began failing at 24,xxx miles. My wife and our 1 year old son were placed into serious danger. The brake pedal became 'rock hard' and would not engage the brakes. The local ford dealer diagnosed and repaired this under warranty.

We were trying to stop at a stop sign, and the car wouldn,t stop. The brake peddle got very hard and wouldn't push down. It went back to normal a few seconds later. There are a lot of complaints and ford has a bulletin on this problem 13n02, this is a serious safety problem luckily there wasn,t another car coming. Why is there no safety recall?

Approaching red light at major intersection. Applying brakes and they are as hard as concrete. Unable to stop! Had to apply emergency break and put car in park. No prior warning. It appears to be a break buster/power buster issue. I know two other people with the same 2011 ford edge this recently happened too and there is no recall. I almost died. I have a 5 year old son driving in this car. Why is there no recall…

The brake pedal became as hard as a rock to press to get the car to stop while driving about 20-30 mph in highway stop and go traffic. Finally when the car stopped it continued to happen until i reached my destination. My air conditioning was running at the time of the incident, when i got back in the car i turned off the air and the issue didn't happen again for another 3 days, again the air was on. Thinking it was…

While attempting to stop the vehicle a hissing noise begun to come form the brakes as i pushed on the pedal. The car stopped, but the pedal felt spongy and i have to push on it harder than normal to get the car to stop. Have not had an issue where i could not stop, but i am afraid i might lose my brakes eventually.
