For over a week, i have had issue with my brakes being very difficult to press, and stop my car. It is a 2013 ford edge with about $106,000 miles on it. This issue started suddenly, and almost resulted in a crash, as i was not able to stop my car in my neighborhood, and blew through a stop sign. I have since driven in manual mode, so that i could downshift to slow my vehicle, but have to leave adequate braking time…

There is a hissing sound and it is literally taking both feet for me to stop my vehicle, this is a severe safety issue, and i have less than 110,000 miles on this car. It happened suddenly and out of the blue. It has been an ongoing issue for over a week. This happens anytime i'm in the car and its moving. The hissing is not as bad right now, but when it started, it was nonstop.

Brakes started losing grip as i entered a 4-way stop. Car barely stopped and brakes worked intermittently after. Brake booster failed. An extremely common problem on ford edge cars.

While driving down a hill into town i tried using the brakes and they want completely to the floor. Luckily there was no one in front of me and was able to coast to a stop in town with faint to no brakes or feedback. Turns out the brake/abs module was malfunctioning causing it to dump all the peddle input pressure instead of applying it to the brakes.
