I was driving and went to stop brake pedal went to the floor. Brake booster has been replaced and it still has issues. Sometimes the brakes work and sometimes they don't. The ford dealership is no help. They said my brakes are fine. They are not fine. I'm not sure what to do.

Fsa 13n02 brake booster extended warranty. My first complaint is that this fsa is not a "safety recall" but classified as a customer satisfaction action if someone complains about their brakes. I was pulling out onto a very busy street and seconds away from getting on the interstate when my brakes failed, i could not stop. My vehicle was in the shop for a different problem and supposedly brakes inspected as a…

While leaving the parking lot at work my wife's brakes failed without warning, she was lucky no cars were coming or she would have been hit. Scary considering my wife and daughter ride in this car everyday, and we took it on vacation to colorado, just glad the brake didnt fail in the mountains. It was really just luck, cant believe that there hasn't been a mandatory recall for this problem. Well the good news is…

My vehicle is experiencing the conditions detailed in ford's owner notification program 13n02 but the dealer and ford are claiming the brake booster was repaired in april 2014 prior to me taking ownership under the ford certified used car program and no further financial assistance towards the repair would be provided. I would have to pay and the quote is approaching $800 + to fix the concern. My vehicle has the…

Took to dealer several times, they can't duplicate issue, no codes. More recently the backup camera has intermittently failed. No backup guidelines are present, sometimes backup camera is visible, then goes black, other…

Brake concern - the brakes on my 2012 ford edge are very spongy, you must depress all the way to the floor in order to stop. I see the brake booster was replaced once under a owner notification program which technically isn't a recall but it is something ford provides as a customer satisfaction action. I feel the concern is related to the original program but the braking concern is still present and i am concerned…

Vehicle has approx. 51k miles and was showing no problems with brakes until this weekend. While driving out of town, i noticed the brake pedal didn't feel normal. I was having to press a little harder than usual. It got to the point where i had to mash down hard to get the vehicle to stop. I checked brake fluid, but reservoir was full. I was able to get back home safely but i did have some close calls when having to…

Brakes functioned perfectly prior to depressing the brake pedal in traffic (on a major city street with the vehicle moving at approximately 40 mph) and the vehicle did not stop. The pedal was difficult to depress, but with extreme pressure, could be pushed all the way to the floor, resulting in a whistle or beep sound. The vehicle became (and remains almost 24 hours later) unsafe to drive because it cannot be…

Brake booster failed with no prior warning. Sitting at stop light, brake pedal went to the floor and car lundged forward into intersection. Luckily we were not hit. Contacted ford dealer and they informed me it is "very" common failure and it was covered under extended warranty negotiated by ford to prevent a recall? I see ford who won that negotiation.. It is nice that this won't cost me any money but it has or…

The car fails to stop and break pedal goes to the floor when applied. Ford has a blurb out - 13n02 - extended warranty coverage on brake booster - about this but it's not a mandatory recall. I almost got killed going through an intersection yesterday when my vehicle failed to stop. Do people need to die before they address this issue?

Pedal sometimes goes to floor and is slow to pump up again. More normal symptom is the break continues to slowly go to floor while stopped at a light. First though was air in the brakes but now believe the booster pump is inadequate or failing.
