My brake pedal would be very difficult to press, causing longer stop times. This would happen randomly, but multiple times every day. For safety reasons, i had to leave ample space in front of me, and could not let my children drive my car. When i spoke to my mechanic, he told me it was the brake booster. Ford currently has a "program" (13n02) for replacing the brake booster, but my vehicle is not included in the…

As i was coming to a stoplight in the city at about 25-30 mph, my brakes engaged for about a quarter of a second, then gave out almost entirely. I had to pump brakes and hit the emergency brakes to stop from hitting a stopped at an intersection. Thankfully i brake early and stopped short a few inches. After inspection the culprit is the master brake cylinder.

Small tear in break booster. Ford knows about this issue and covered a lot of vehicles in the customer satisfaction program 13n02. My car is not covered even though it was made at the same factory during the same time period of the ones that were covered. It was extremely dangerous when it broke and almost caused me to get in an accident. Ford has refused to do anything even though this is clearly an issue. I found…

My mechanic has informed me that my master cylinders are bad. That this part on the ford edge leaks fluid into the power booster which compromises the booster's diaphragm and is under a current recall with ford. I had my power booster replaced last october, because my brake pedal would become stiff and difficult to depress. Since having the boosters replaced, i have the opposite problem. The brake pedal depresses…

Brakes were not working effectively - spongy feeling and brake fluid was low. Took into the shop and it was diagnosed with a power brake booster failure. Did some research and this part is a known issue for the model and year of my car but not for my vin. Technician was reluctant to let me drive off the lot as this is very dangerous. Not sure why ford has only chosen to replace some of these parts that it knows are…

Starting a few months ago, the brake pedal on our 2013 ford edge went very soft upon braking making the vehicle very difficult to safely stop. Took the car to the ford dealer and they could find no issues as the problem seemed to resolve itself. The brake issue reoccurred again, but, again the dealer could find nothing as it resolved itself. Last week the issue occurred again. This time, the dealer finally diagnosed…

Brake booster failed causing serious decline in braking distance to a point where i felt the car was unsafe to drive. I almost got in an accident because of this. In my opinion this is a part that should never fail. Vehicle was in motion and almost rear ended someone because of the braking distance was increased by a large amount.
