2008 FORD EDGE Service Brakes Problems

The component that failed was my Break Booster and I almost wasn't able to stop. I took my vehicle to my local independent service center and they said I am lucky and that the Break Booster broke and it was just hanging on by a little bit and that is the only reason I was able to stop my vehicle. No warning lamps came on that it broke or was not functioning properly. It took longer to stop and almost caused an accident. The Mechanic informed me this should never happen and to report my issue. I have not had it inspected by any authority but it was inspected by my personal mechanic at their Independent Shop.

Vehicle Hard Steering when drove Ford-from lot- Always something wrong with brakes-wheel bearings- wheels- Alignment Electrical Lightning for entire vehicle- Sunroof also included in malfunctions *Main SAFETY concern Front end / tranny Grinding amongst other noises

Problem with the computer for dash. Was worked on at Ford dealership in Lexington ky and had to borrow money with the lender that was already financing the vehicle for me for repairs. They was unable to repair it but still charged me almost 1,800.00.

My brakes on my car was not stopping when I was applying my brakes. I've taken good care of my car and I am the only owner of my edge. No warning signals-only 67k miles on my car. it happened several times within the last month. I took my car into Hansel Ford in Santa Rosa, CA where I bought my car in 2008. The brake booster needed replacing. It was a matter of life or death! So $1,000 later I had to pay. What? the same brake booster on 2011 edges were being replaced. This is a Ford defect problem. No one should drive a car that the brakes don't stop the car! No warning lights, messages, the part from Ford was defective. i had my car repaired at Hansel Ford in Santa Rosa, CA phone number 707.543.7460

RIGHT AFTER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, I NOTICED THAT IT HAD A BAD JERK, AND CHUGGING IN THE TRANSMISSION. WITH THE OVERDRIVE "OFF", IT KEEPS THE RPM'S ABOVE 2000, AND PREVENTS IT FROM CHUGGING AND JERKING IN THE TRANSMISSION. WITH THE OVERDRIVE ON IT GEARS DOWN EXTREMELY LOW AFTER GOING DOWN TO 2000 RPM'S, AND LOSSES A LOT OF POWER. WHEN PRESSING DOWN THE GAS PEDAL, IT CHUGS AND JERKS SEVERELY. I HAVE TO LET OFF THE GAS AND THEN REAPPLY THE GAS TO STOP IT FROM JERKING. ALSO, THE POWER STEERING POPS AND MAKES NOISES. I GOT IN THE CAR TODAY AND HAD NO BRAKE POWER AT ALL. THEN HAD NO BRAKES UNLESS I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN WITH EXTREME FORCE. AND IT WAS STILL EXTREMELY HARD TO STOP MY VEHICLE. UPON SEARCHING ONLINE, I AM FINDING THAT THESE ARE VERY COMMON ISSUES WITH THE 2008 FORD EDGE VEHICLES. THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF RECALL ON THIS MODEL OF FORD EDGE WHEN THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, IN MY OPINION. I DID A SEARCH FOR MY VIN NUMBER AND IT SHOWS "NO" RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND IT'D NOT A NEW VEHICLE, BUT THE AMOUNT OF ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE IS RIDICULOUS. PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

A COUPLE YEARS AGO, EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKING SYSTEM. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AND COMING UP TO A LIGHT. UPON BRAKING, THE PEDDLE WAS VERY, VERY STIFF AND HARD TO DEPRESS, THE CAR SHUDDERED A BIT AND BRAKING SEEMED COMPROMISED...I ALMOST FELT LIKE THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP IN TIME TO AVOID SLIDING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I USED AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO FINALLY GET THE CAR TO STOP. I WAS NEAR HOME AT THE TIME SO I CONTINUED THE LAST COUPLE MILES TO THE HOUSE, BEING CAREFUL TO DRIVE VERY CONSERVATIVELY AND TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE MUCH SOONER THAN USUAL TO MAKE CERTAIN I HAD ENOUGH ROOM TO STOP THE CAR. TOOK THE CAR THE NEXT DAY TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP...AFTER DIAGNOSIS I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER WAS AT FAULT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. REPAIR WAS APPROXIMATELY $580, IF MEMORY SERVES. I WAS UNHAPPY AT THE TIME OF COURSE BUT, UNTIL I RESEARCHED MY RECENT TRANSMISSION ISSUES, DID NOT REALIZE THAT THIS WAS YET ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHER EDGE OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. I ALSO DID NOT REALIZE THAT I COULD REGISTER A COMPLAINT VIA NHTSA UNTIL RECENTLY OR I WOULD HAVE SUBMITTED THIS COMPLAINT WHEN THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. BUT AGAIN, LIKE THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES (NHTSA #10874656), IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT AFFECTS FORD EDGES TO AN INORDINATE DEGREE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA AS A POTENTIAL RECALL. THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A REGULAR, EXPECTED 'WEAR AND TEAR' MAINTENANCE ISSUE BUT RATHER A DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER, NOT THE CONSUMER.

WHEN BREAKING THE BREAK PEDAL WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO PUSH AND SLOW IN REACTING. THIS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON THE FIRST INCIDENT IN A STANDARD BRAKING SITUATION. AFTER THAT THE BREAKS SEEMED TO BE BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE MORE TIMES AND THE CAR IS REALLY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. IF EMERGENCY BRAKING WAS NEEDED THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO STOP IN TIME AND WAS VERY NEAR TO CAUSING MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS IN NORMAL DRIVING. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER THAT IS THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT FORD IS AWARE OF AND HAS OFFERED TO FIX THIS ISSUE ON NEWER MODELS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO ADDRESSED.

I HAVE BEEN FINDING IT MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO USE THE BRAKES ON MY 2008 FORD EDGE. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AS THE RESULT OF A CHANGE IN THE TRAFFIC AND MY BRAKES DID NOT REACT AND BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY STIFF AND BARELY MOVED TOWARD THE FLOOR. I FEEL FORTUNATE THAT THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY, BUT MY MECHANIC TELLS ME I NEED A NEW BRAKE BOOSTER AND POSSIBLY A MASTER CYLINDER AS A RESULT OF THIS FAULTY PART. MUCH RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY FORD EDGES STARTING IN 2008 BUT RECALLS ONLY EXIST FOR LATER YEARS 2010- 2013. REPAIRS WILL BE COSTLY AND WILL TAKE TIME FROM MY JOB. IF THIS IS SUCH A PROBLEM, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON IT. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT I WILL NEED TO SPEND $600-1000 TO REPLACE FAULTY EQUIPMENT THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD ISSUE WITH AND HAS CAUSED MORE RECENT EDITIONS TO REQUIRE A RECALL.

I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS GOING OUT AND THIS IS A WORLD WIDE PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGES. I HAVE YET TO HAVE IT FIXED AS THE PART IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE.

MY BRAKES STARTED OFF FEELING VERY STIFF, THEN WOULD SINK INTO FLOOR WHILE MAKING A HISSING SOUND. OFTEN BARELY STOPPING. WHEN STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE ENGINE WILL START SPUTTERING LIKE IT IS GOING TO SHUT OFF, WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE IT WILL RUN FINE. THERE WERE NO WARNING OR INDICATIONS THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND I HAVE NEARLY WRECKED MULTIPLE TIMES. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY HAVE FIXED THIS SAME PROBLEM IN SEVERAL OF THE FORD EDGE SUVS AND THAT IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $600 AND $700 TO REPAIR. IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WHY HAS FORD NOT PUT OUT A RECALL ON THIS? *TR

WITHOUT WARNING, BRAKES FAILED. THANKFULLY WAS TRAVELING SLOWLY AS PARKING THE CAR. THERE WAS A HISSING SOUND AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. WE WERE LUCKY. COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. CAR IS AT PRIVATE MECHANIC. TOLD MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER BAD. WHY WOULDN'T WE HAVE HAD A WARNING PRIOR TO SUCH A POTENTIALLY DISASTROUS FAILURE. WHY WOULDN'T THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT HAVE ACTIVATED. *TR

TOOK MY VEHICLE IN EARLY FOR SERVICE AT SUNRISE BECAUSE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT LOUD SCREECHING NOISE ON BRAKES AND ERRATIC BEHAVIOR OF VEHICLE -SURGING. WHEN DRIVING. WHEN THE SERVICE TECH (TROY) OPENED THE HOOD HE ASKED EM TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND STAND BACK, AS THE TOP OF THE BATTERY WAS SPATTERED WITH BLACK OIL LOOKING MATERIAL AND APPARENTLY HE AND ANOTHER TECHNICIAN WERE CONCERNED IT MIGHT RUPTURE OR EXPLODE. THEY ASKED EM TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE, GIVE THEM THE KEYS AND THAT THEY WOULD CHECK THE VEHICLE AND ASKED ME TO WAIT. ABOUT 90 MINUTES LATER THEY CAME OUT AND SAID ALL WAS FINE, NOTHING WRONG WITH BATTERY OR BRAKES. I LEFT AND DROVE VEHICLE HOME AND SAME PROBLEMS WERE OCCURRING, I RETURNED AND AFTER CALLING AND SAYING SAME THINGS WERE OCCURRING. I HAD HPED TO SPEAK TO [XXX], WHO WAS AN AMAZING SERVICE SUPERVISOR, BUT HE WAS NOT THERE AND ANOTHER MAN WHO WAS RUDE CLAIMED THE BATTERY WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT THAT IT WAS NORMAL TO HAVE OILY SLUDGE ON THE BATTERY . HE SAID IT WAS "NORMAL, BECAUSE IT WAS JUST SWEATING". HE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING..SAID THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE AT 3 BEFORE FORD WOULD REPLACE THEM. I ASKED THAT HE CONTACT FORD CORPORATE AND INQUIRE. HE SAID, "NO HE WOULD NOT" THE BATTERY I SHOULD ADD SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY REPLACED. I HAVE LIMITED DRIVING THE VEHICLE, EXCEPT FOR SHORT LOCAL TRIPS, AND TONIGHT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND AAA CLAIMED THE BATTERY WAS DEFECTIVE AND CLEARLY DEAD. IT IS MOST DISTURBING WHEN FORD MISREPRESENTS THEIR WARRANTY AND REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE DEFECTS THAT HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED IN THEIR WON ALERTS. SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS! THERE ARE NUMEROUS POSTINGS OF OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THEIR QUESTIONABLE PROTOCOLS ON DANGERS THAT ARE KNOWN WITH THEIR VEHICLES.

I WAS DRIVING AND THE BRAKES ARE STIFF AND I COULD NOT STOP. I HAVE NEARLY WRECKED 3 TIMES NOW APPARENTLY DUE TO A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY ONLY THE 2010 TO 2013 MODELS HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTERS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO NOT HAVE ANY WARNING MY BRAKES ARE OUT. ESPECIALLY SINCE FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. *TR

THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED TO ME TWICE WITH BOTH MY SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. T HE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0, THE MAINTENANCE WRENCH DISPLAY LIT UP, ALONG WITH THE ERROR MESSAGE "TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT" (OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT) AND I WAS UNABLE AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT TO ACCELERATE ALMOST CAUSING THE PERSON BEHIND ME TO REAR END ME. ONCE GETTING TO MY HOME WHEN PUTTING THE CAR INTO PARK IT MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE THEN PROCEEDS TO JERK THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR AN HOUR I TRIED TO TURN IT ONE ONCE AGAIN AND TEST DRIVING A FEW FEET FORWARD, IT ONLY MOVED AT A SLOW PACE WHEN GAS PEDAL APPLIED. *TR

THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED MAKING THE VEHICLE VERY SLOW TO RESPOND TO STOPPING. HAD THE NEED FOR A EMERGENCY STOP OCCURRED THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT.

I HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE SEL. WHEN TURNING ON MY LEFT BLINKER IT WAS BLINKING RAPIDLY WHICH I KNEW INDICATED A LIGHT WAS OUT. I FOUND THAT IT WAS MY DRIVER SIDE REAR BLINKER/TAIL LIGHT. I WENT TO THE STORE AND PURCHASED THE BULB. WHEN I GOT HOME TO REPLACE IT I FOUND THAT I COULD NOT REMOVE THE BULB AS THE SOCKET HAS MELTED. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS COMMON FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. *TR

AFTER NEARLY 6 YEARS I THOUGHT I WOULD CHANGE THE BRAKES.WIFE WAS HEARING A GRINDING NOISE. I THOUGHT WE WERE WE'LL OVERDO ON THEM ANYWAYS. WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE THEM I WAS INSPECTING THEM AND FOUND THE PASSENGER SIDE PADS WERE BARELY WORN THEY LOOKED ALMOST NEW. THE DRIVER SIDE OUTER PAD LOOKED THE SAME PRACTICALLY NEW THE INNER PAD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS WORN DOWN TO ABOUT 1/16 TO THE END OF THE PAD I FEEL THIS WARRANTS SOME KIND OF ACTION ON BEHALF OF FORD THANKS. *TR

BRAKES STARTED TO MAKE A SCRAPING SOUND. WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP WITHOUT SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES THROWING PASSENGERS FORWARD. IT APPEARED THAT THE BRAKES WERE NOT DEPRESSING PROPERLY AND WERE PUMPED UP. WE HAPPENED TO HAVE A SCHEDULE ANNUAL INSPECTION WITH OUR MECHANIC AND HE INFORMED US THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER APPEARED TO BE THE ISSUE. WE TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED REPLACEMENT. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, I NOTICED THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2007 FORD EDGE. SHOULDN'T THERE BE A RECALL? I HAVE OWNED FORD VEHICLES FOR THE PAST 25 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF A BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUE UNTIL NOW. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AND IS QUITE EXPENSE TO REPLACE ($691.00). *TR

REAR CALIPERS DOES NOT RETRACT BRAKE PADS AND THERE IS A CONSTANT HOWLING NOISE. CAUSED THE WHEEL AND ROTOR TO BECOME OVER HEATED AND BRAKING WAS DIMINISHED. ALSO BRAKE PADS FIT INTO CALIPER TO TIGHT AND WILL NOT RETRACT WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED CAUSING BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS TO BECOME OVER HEATED AND CAUSE COMPONENTS TO BE GLAZED OVER AND DIMINISHING BRAKING DISTANCE. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WHICH FORD IS AWARE OF BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL OR REMEDY TO FIX IT. *TR
