My fianc was driving her vehicle when she pressed the brake and it seemed to go to the floor. It wasn't until the low brake fluid light came on that she realized there was a problem. Thankfully the light came on as she was pulling into a parking spot and the store and not trying to slow down from 55mph. I met her at the parking lot she stopped in and upon investigating i found brake fluid all under the vehicle and…

Left front brake hose ruptured. I was driving and the check brake light came on. Added brake fluid. The next morning i took out and came to the end of the steet, had to use the emergency brake to stop. I took it to my mechanic, the brake hose had ruptured causing the brake fluid to leak out.

It began with the driver side, the brake line started leaking and the brake pedal needed to be pushed to the floor to initiate any form of braking on the car. The car was just serviced, so it was thought that the dealer messed something up when fixing the car. Then, once it was fixed 3 months later it happened again, this time the leakage was on the passenger side of the car. Once again the brakes need to be pressed…

Front driver side brake line burst while driving (applying the brake during a turn on a city street), within the last 6 months, causing the brake pedal to depress all the way to floor and making the vehicle extremely difficult to stop (by the time i made it home it was hardly stopping at all). Ford replaced the line and said it had just "worn out" (though the car was just over 2 years old at the time and had under…

Started vehicle by pushing the brake and heard a noise. Car started and the brake pedal went to the floor. Computer in car started reading low brake fluid. Had car towed to ford dealership. Hydraulic break line broke on right front wheel. Car only has 62,000 miles. I believe this is safety defect and ford should be responsible for correcting this.

Sudden failure of brakes (pedal depressed to floor) pulling out of store parking lot. Ford repair noted this was due to brake fluid leak from right front brake due to 'excessive material fatigue'.

Driving vehicle out of development when i experienced the brakes catastrophically fail. I pushed all the way to the floor with little response. The dealer said the master cylinder leaked into the booster causing both components to fail. Over $1,000 on repair and no tangible solution. Fearful!

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford edge. While the contact's wife was driving 25-35 mph, she heard an explosive noise. The brake pedal was applied, but failed to respond and traveled to the floorboard.
