After 30,000 miles we took our 2013 ford edge for service and for $800 they changed oil, rotated tires, etc. They also noticed that our brakes and rotors had to be replaced due to wear and rust. This cost an additional $700. We have driven numerous vehicles and kept them to 100,000 miles and have never had this concern.

Brake booster on ford edge failed suddenly at 60-70k miles. Noticed it suddenly when driving the car one afternoon. At the first stop light, had to stomp on the brakes to slow the car to a stop, because normal brake pressure had hardly any effect. Knew something else was wrong, because brake pads and calipers were recently replaced. This is a known issue covered under customer satisfaction program 13n02, however my…

Recall #13n02 driving down the road and the brake booster completely failed; had to practically stand on the brake pedal to stop. Found this recall, and it appeared to cover my year, but was told by ford that my vin was not included. Spent about 400.00 out of pocket to replace.

I first noticed a hissing sound when i would push the brake pedal. It then became sometimes difficult to press the brake pedal but then also like it did not work and would go all the way to the floor. At times, when i have the car stopped using the brakes it feels as though they are slipping and the car will lunge. I saw there was a bulletin issued by ford to extend the warranty on this issue but when i reached out…

2013 ford edge, the brakes are difficult to apply and make a hissing noise. Without warning the pedal will go to the floor and the vehicle will stall. This has happened on the highway and on residential streets, and always when you are trying to stop. At times you literally have to use both feet to fully stop the vehicle. The issue started at the beginning of october and has been happening more frequent. I will no…

I have two major problems and safety issues with this car. First is the power booster, which is covered under extended warranty. Symptoms of booster issue are spongy brakes that then went hard with little resistance accompanied by hissing sound coming from brakes. The second issue is a defective throttle body. Three times in as many days when food is on brake, the brake pushes back essentially having lost power…

Dangerous and faulty braking system. Brakes sometimes feel spongy and to the floor and other times hard like a brick with very little give and the car is extremely difficult to stop and impossible to brake quickly. There is a hissing sound present when the brake pedal is depressed. Most challenging in stop and go traffic or coming off of high speeds going downhill. Terrifying to drive especially with my children in…

I was driving down the street and my brakes failed. I had to hit the curb to stop the vehicle. This is truly a safety issued , i was told my booster for the brakes failed and it was too new of a vehicle to have this problem and that it needed to be reported and addressed by the ford company. This is very dangerous no warning at all and this repair was very costly.

The passenger side inside brake pad was worn down to the metal. The outside of the passenger brake pad and the driver side brake pads were almost like new.
