The brakes randomly become soft and the pedal goes almost to the floor before bringing the car to a complete stop. A recall for this same problem was put out on 12/23/2019 for 2006-10 ford fusion, mercury milan, lincoln mkz. The 2012 edge should be included as a quick internet search shows i am not the only one with this issue. When you are driving 55-70 mph and the brakes randomly go soft it is a huge safety issue.…

She took ownership on or about august 19, 2019. She has complained about the breaks, but the problems seemed to come and go. Over the past 2 days the brakes failed several times with her narrowly avoiding major accidents.as…

Intermittently, at low speeds the brake pedal is hard to depress and braking is difficult. It occurs frequently in reverse and less so in drive.
