While driving and trying to stop the brake pedal became very hard to push. Had the brake booster replaced. Now after only 6 months the brake pedal is soft. Had the master cylinder replaced and it is still acting the same. This is unsafe and will not pass inspection. This is a common problem according to my research with ford edges. They have a replacement program in place for the brake booster but this was fixed and…

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to jennings anderson ford ([redacted], boerne, tx 78006) where the brake booster was replaced. Two weeks later, while driving 65 mph, the contact depressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle did not respond. The contact had to swerve off the road to avoid a crash. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer where it was diagnosed…

This is the third complaint i have filed in an attempt for this issue to be investigated. As i was pulling into my garage this evening, my brakes failed again with no warning. I narrowly missed hitting the wall. I was traveling at a low speed. My vehicle has approximately 100,000 miles on it.

I had the brake booster, master cylinder, new brake pads and brake hydraulic system replaced 5 months ago and now it's doing the same thing again. Brakes are hard to push and very difficult to stop or go all the way down. Also, burning smell around the brakes. Very dangerous.

When approaching an intersection the brakes failed and brake pedal fell all the way to the floor, forcing me to turn into curb to avoid being hit by cross traffic. This is an intermittent issue that occurs when pressure is placed on the system. The ford dealership has already replaced the brake booster and master cylinder (twice) and they cannot duplicate the issue. This has almost caused several wrecks, as there is…

My wife was driving to work after dropping our 2 year old off at grandmas. She went to slow for a stale green light and the brake pedal went to the floor. Luckily she was almost to work at this point. We had the vehicle towed to my shop. Replace the brake booster because it has a known issue ( no recall just warranty extension), also replaced the master cylinder because this was clearly a hydraulic failure in the…

On 9/18/18 while traveling home from doing some errands went to apply brakes to slow and turn and pedal went to the floor, pumped them a few times to stop and since they have progressively gotten worse to a point our mechanic suggested not to drive the vehicle. After some research it looks like a common problem for the edge! Is ford going to step up?? Sounds like a costly adventure. Ford needs to take…

While driving vehicle brake pedal went to the floor making the vehicle almost impossible to stop. I took the vehicle to a mechanic who replaced the brakes and master cylinder however that did not correct the problem of no brake pedal. I then took the vehicle to ford where they advised that they have seen a rash of this problem, and advised that it is most likely the abs control module. The vehicle is at the ford…

In august 2018, i applied the brakes on my 2012 ford edge and the pedal went to the floor. This happened before and took it for diagnostic; abs sensor was tripped, but once reset all appeared to work fine. Was not sure what problem was and since could not replicate, it was not clear what we should do to fix problem. It has now happened again. I had no brake pressure, but could hear a whistle sound when releasing the…

3 times brakes were soft and brake pedal went completely to floor when traveling down the road. Car was slow to stop!!! Taking a long time, standing up on brakes. After pumping them several times still pedal going to floor. Very dangerous. Now, very little brakes at all. Even sitting still, brake pedal goes to floor. Online reviews, many ford edge vehicles with same manufacture problem. I'll be taking car to…

The brake booster went bad and the ford dealer noted this was no longer covered even though there is a field service issue noted. Car is under 133000, power in brakes just went away and brakes were spongy.

When driving my 2012 ford edge i experienced problems with the brakes at low speeds. When i was parking or trying to stop for a stop light, the brakes would become rock hard and i would have to push as hard as i could and hope it would stop. It was a very frightening experience and a definite safety issue. On one occasion i was unable to get the car to stop and rolled into the road. I just bought the car less than…

The original power brake booster failed and was replaced. The second power brake booster failed and another one was replaced. The ford dealership did not want to recognize that there was a problem with this part again and passed it off as something else (rear caliper) causing the brakes to loose pressure. I hope a review of these parts will be made for other driver's safety. See attachments.

I have a 2012 ford edge that has had major brake failure happen. Over the last few weeks while braking for a stop light the brake pedal drops to the floor, and barely avoided rear ending the car in front, and then seemingly works fine again afterwards, making me question myself as to how big of an issue it had. Yesterday it completely failed and turning off interstate at an off ramp (going 70mph!) i nearly rear…

Brake booster has gone out three times resulting in loss of stopping power. Pedal goes to floor and vehicle does not stop properly. Ford has 13n02 campaign, but it only covers it one time. Since this is a safety issue the nhtsa must get involved.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. The contact stated that one side of the brake caliber emitted more pressure than the other, which caused the brake pads and rotors to wear over time. The contact previously replaced the same parts twice. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing and repairs in the past. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The…

From june 2018 to june 2019 i have invested over $4000 in primarily the braking sytem of my car. I continue to have issues when after filling my gas tank the car hesitates in starting. I have replaced everything that has to do with the breaking system from brake pads to hcu system to the abs system. Even the new parts have had to be replaced because they were faulty.

On two occasions in the last four months my wife was driving on the highway the edge and when she push down on the brake pedal it went all the way to the floor board. The second time this happened she pumped the brakes but still did not have brakes. My mechanic is guessing it's the brake master cylinder so we are having it replaced.
