2012 FORD EDGE Service Brakes Problems

2012 Ford Edge brake failure occurred without any warning while I was driving on I85. Brake pedal went to floor with diminished braking ability when a vehicle adjacent changed lanes quickly to in front of my vehicle. Luckily no accident occurred. Vehicle was taken to Ford dealer. A previous issue with brakes happened in 2021/mileage 109k and brake booster was replaced under recall 13N02 at that time. Dealer diagnosed current brake issue and recommended replacing HCU AND MASTER CYLINDER DUE TO VALVES AND SEAL LEAKING INTERNALLY. RELACE OIL SENDING UNIT ALSO DUE TO IT LEAKING OIL. Mileage 146K Vehicle is unsafe to drive as is. Cost of repairs is close to value of car.

Ford Edge 2012 Limited 2.0L [XXX] The brake pedal went all the way to the floor while my wife was driving a few times. The brakes DID NOT STOP OR SLOW THE CAR AT ALL! She pumped the brake pedal and braking came back. But, after that we could not trust the brake system. We paid AutoNation Ford in Fort Worth, Texas $2,694.45 on 10/11/2023 to replace the ABS system, after their recommendation that this will fix the problem. This did fix the problem until recently this past week on 9/21/2025, when the brake pedal went to the floor without any braking, just continued to move forward in our driveway. The next push on the brake pedal did provide braking but now seems a little soft. My wife’s sister also has a Ford Edge with similar or the same symptoms, a 2013 Edge. My daughter has a 2012 Ford Fusion with similar or the same symptoms. This is a very dangerous SAFETY PROBLEM with these Ford cars! I suspect that this problem is more widespread than just my family, more Ford Edge vehicles with this ABS problem. A Ford Edge ABS RECALL might be required to help Ford customers be safe!

The first incident occurred in GA on vacation in June. While my spouse was driving, he said the brakes seemed squishy and were not right. When he braked to stop the car to get gas, his foot went almost to the floor. After getting gas, I drove and they did not seem right. The second incident happened the beginning of August and I was coming down a relatively steep hill. I went to brake and my foot went all the way to the floor and did not completely stop. I took the car to my mechanic and he wasn't sure of the problem, and to another mechanic. The 2nd thought it was the brake booster. I then took it to the Ford dealership where I bought it last August and had them look at it. They said it is the ABS module and that I am #829 on the list of 1300 people that need that part, that Ford has no idea when it will be available. The third incident was last Sat, [XXX] and I had No Brakes At All, so I had to take my husband's car to work. In All the incidents, I was at risk, as well as my family and the people driving in front & back of me. I have also had issues of the AC coming in for NO Reason, and after I turn it down, it turns itself back on at full blast. This car is NOT SAFE.

The ABS system is completely shot. I have replaced the entire brake system besides the ABS. There is a recall on the ABS System for other 2012 Ford Edges, but for some reason my vehicle isn’t included. Please consider including my car in the recall as this is a serious safety issue. I cannot even drive the car, because i am not able to brake properly.

Regarding the three Ford vehicles in my possession, each with approximately 80,000 miles, I've observed consistent issues with the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) module. Despite my inquiry with a Ford dealership, no recall has been issued for these vehicles, and the ABS module is reportedly unavailable for repair. Given the apparent prevalence of this issue, I am concerned about the potential impact on vehicle performance during critical events. Furthermore, I am seeking clarification from Ford representatives regarding the lack of a resolution for this recurring problem across multiple vehicles.

BRAKE PEDAL HITTING THE FLOOR : ISSUE COMES AND GOES VERY RARELY . FIRST COMPLAIN REPORTED ON APRIL 2014: BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED ON WARRANTY. LAST COMPLAIN REPORTED TO ORIGINAL CAR DEALER: COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE ISSUE. IN BETWEEN THESE TWO DATES, BRAKE BOOSTER HAS BEEN REPLACED RECENTLY. ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT MAY CAUSE THE BRAKE FAILURE, NO ABS LIGHT YET. FORD HONORED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON BRAKE POWER BOOSTER IN 2020. PERFORMING A FEW REPEATED SUDDEN STOPS AT CERTAIN SPEED GETS THE BRAKES TO HOW IT SHOULD BE. NO ACCIDENT EVER INVOLVED.

On July 31, 2019, I had the brake booster replaced at Midas due to a hissing noise and a loss of brake pressure, costing me $733.39. At that time, I checked for a Ford recall but found none for my VIN. I recently came across Ford Customer Satisfaction Program 13N02: Certain 2010-2014 Model Year Edge and MKX Vehicles Extended Warranty Coverage on Brake Booster. While I never was contacted by Ford about this issue for my 2012 Ford Edge, I feel it should be part of the program as it was clearly a safety issue at the time. Ford Customer Satisfaction Program 13N02 does show as an outstanding field service action for my VIN.

The ABS module failed which also impacted the traction control. The ABS module cannot be repaired because Ford cannot get the part needed due to the high volume of failure on this required safety feature. My car is unsafe to drive due to this system failure.

The brakes can’t been repair I totally lost brakes to may times

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal went to the floorboard causing the braking distance to become extended. The vehicle was diagnosed by a certified mechanic who determined that the brake booster had failed and needed to be replaced. The braked booster was replaced. While driving approximately 10 MPH in the snow, the contact depressed the brake pedal, and the brake pedal went to the floorboard before the vehicle came to a stop. There was no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was returned to the mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the ABS module had failed. The vehicle had not been repaired. The contact became aware of Technical Service Bulletin: 13N02. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not covered under warranty, Service Bulletin, or recall. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to file a complaint. The failure mileage was 140,000.

Mileage: 140,000

The ABS light comes on, Increased braking distance, Brake pedal is very stiff, Fluid leaking from the master cylinder, and Engine stalls when braking.

Seen on the internet where there was a recall for a brake booster....checking to see if mine can be fixed or has it already been fixed.....

My 2012 Ford Edge has always had an issue with its brakes. I put new ones on and then the ABS system goes haywire and kicks in making the car feel like the brakes are constantly engaged. The car has also stopped in the middle of the road by it self with no warning. The brake pedal at times is squishy as well. I have it at a Ford dealership now to get it fixed I have to purchase a new ABS unit and modular. These parts are on indefinite back order per the dealership. I cannot be without a car for months on end but I dare not drive it because it is a safety hazard with unpredictable braking. My son drives this car and I do not want him involved in an accident related to this faulty brake system. Ford should recall this issue and correct it before someone dies in an accident. This dealership does not offer a loaner car like other car manufacturers do which is disgraceful when it is their product that is faulty and on back order. Since my son needs this car ASAP I may have to resort to buying the parts off of the internet.

Brake pedal goes to floor with minimal stopping power

I experienced spongy pedal that went to the floor, no brake light or abs light came on, no leaks. I was driving my wife's edge and hit the brakes to make a left hand turn. When I did the the brake pedal went straight to the floor! It showed some stopping power but not enough to actually stop the car without having a good amount of distance. I shut off the car, turned it back on and the brakes were fine. It happened again!

Wow, vehicle is in park and idling. My traction control light comes on then my brakes go all the way to the floor. It has done about six times so far.

My brakes are going all the way to the floor just every once in a while, but wow, my vehicle is in park and running, my traction control light comes on the only way to get it off. Is to turn the ignition off and back on.

break booster

There was no warning stated in the dash, but I went to drive my car one day and the brakes were sunk to the floor. I drove it around carefully for a little bit and realized the brake pedal built pressure if it was constantly being pressed, however, it would lose the pressure instantly. I got the brakes bled and replaced a brake line since I had replaced both of the rear calipers prior (no issues there and no issues with brake pads or the brakes themselves). A few weeks went by and I lost the pressure again instantly. I called the mechanic to take a look and they replaced the brake booster and master cylinder and bled the brakes. The brake lines/hoses were fine with no leaks. I picked the vehicle up and the brake pedal is still soft and mushy with no pressure building. I am scared to drive it in case I accidentally hit someone and it is currently winter (snow & ice). I have new tires but I fear the brakes will give out on me soon. I don’t think these parts are up for inspection or whether the issue is with the abs module or the HCU, but it appears to be a common issue with 2012 ford edges and other years. The time frame for this is all within 10 weeks since I wasn’t driving my vehicle for about 4 weeks.

Brakes malfunction, the vehicle experienced an apparent loss of brake pressure, resulting in the brake pedal sinking to the floorboard before the vehicle came to a complete stop. A technician serviced the car on three different occasions, replacing the brake booster and bleeding the hydraulic system on 9/11/2023. The problem persisted, taking car to technician for further analysis on three separate occasions, noticing a strange noise while pressing the brake pedal, described as a “wind blowing” noise. After more work, brake malfunction happened again on 1/3/2024.

The brakes extremely stiff while being depressed. While backing out of garage ended up in side lawn. I have to use an excessive amount of force to break normally and avoid a collision with another vehicle. A local service technician diagnosed the issue and determined the cause to be a faulty brake booster. The technician recommended replacing the brake booster. He noted that his internet search was flooded with complaints about this situation and he showed me where q Ford dealership had fixed the problem by replacing the brake booster under Customer Satisfaction Program 13N02. I tried calling Ford to see if they would replace the booster under this program and because and Ford told me the age of my car and mileage was outside scope of this program. Cost precludes me from fixing this. Disappointed in Ford. Will keep using excessive force to brake.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving downhill and depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal became very soft and extended to the floorboard. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who replaced the brake master cylinder, brake pads, and calipers; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the mechanic who serviced the brake lines and informed that the brake booster might also be faulty. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle did not qualify for the manufacturer's warranty campaign to replace the brake booster. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 143,000.

Mileage: 143,000

I am one of thousands of people who have had the power brake booster fail on their Ford Edge. Initially, my vehicle failed to stop at an intersection when another vehicle was running the red light, and I was nearly t-boned. The brake pedal was almost impossible to press in. I thought the issue was due to the icy conditions at the time and some problem with the ABS. This summer the real problem became apparent as the brakes have started squealing and hissing every time they are pressed, and the pressure required to come to a full stop varies from nearly none and jerking to an immediate stop to the point I am barely able to press the pedal hard enough to get it to stop at all. Sometimes both situations will occur during one stop, and the brake pedal will go from excessively resistant to dropping to the floor, at which point I will lose all stopping power momentarily while I let the pedal slowly hiss back into place and press it again. The first time that happened, I was trying to stop for a bike that started to cross without waiting for the crosswalk signal, and I nearly hit them. Ford’s site states I’m covered under the CSP for this part, but I am unable to find a dealer willing to provide the service as they believe the CSP only covers 10 years after the model year (my mileage is under the 150k limit). Whether or not that’s true, a CSP is insufficient in this scenario as a quick internet search shows power brake booster failure is very common in this model line and it is unequivocally a life and safety risk.

Intermittently when you hit a bump, the brake pedal goes to the floor and may stay that way for a couple of days and then it comes back. This is the second brake booster ford replaced, I see that brakes are a constant problem on these vehicles, this repair is costing me a $1000.00 the car only has 90000 miles on it. My wife is afraid to drive it anymore.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal had extended to the floorboard causing the braking distances to become extended. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who diagnosed that the brake valve had become stuck. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted regarding the failure. The failure mileage was 132,000.

Mileage: 132,000

The brakes on this vehicle have gradually become worse over time. Even with replacing the pads, rotors. They are spongy and the pedal drops almost to the floor. This causes a delay in braking.

The breaks loose and go down and the car can't stop

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while attempting to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal was depressed and extended to the floorboard. The vehicle failed to immediately stop, nearly causing a rear-end collision with another vehicle. The vehicle was taken back to an independent dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. Additionally, while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would not properly accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal, with the check engine warning light and fuel filler inlet message illuminated. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and the local dealers were notified but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 136,000.

Summer 2022 my brakes started giving out … when coming to a stop, the brake pad goes all of the way to the floor makes a sound similar to a pump or a hiss. It “corrected” itself after a few pumps on the brake peddle after about five minutes. It happened a second time so I took it back to the company who had replaced my brakes 2/3 yrs prior … they could not find anything wrong w/them. It happened again, I took car back to same place with same results. Later in the year it happened for a 4th time but did not correct itself as it had in the past, I drove home at 30mph for over 30 minutes leaving a lot of space between myself and cars in front. The car sat for about a month then my brother drove it and experienced the same problem. I had the car towed to a mechanic who could not replicate the problem therefore could not fix what he couldn’t find but he did bleed the brakes. I rented a car for a short while but when I did drive it again, the same problem occurred and corrected itself. I took it to a different mechanic who also could not replicate the problem, he tried 3 times. I have experienced the same problem at least three times this year, the last time being last week. My and any passengers safety is at risk daily; fortunately, most times I have been parking or on surface streets when this has happened. There have been no warning signs before the brakes give out. I plan on taking car to dealership this weekend.

When braking my brakes hit the floor. I had the booster and master cylinder replaced. 2 years later my car has been at the dealer for 2 months. They replaced the booster again and now say I need a HCU unit. The HCU is on stop sale and now I still am without a car. I have paid 1450.00 for the second booster so far and if they can get the HCU then it’s another 1500.00. My car only has 73,000 miles on it

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH and slowing for traffic, she depressed the brake pedal, and the brake pedal went to the floorboard. The contact stated that she pumped the brake pedal several times and was able to slow the vehicle. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the brake failure was intermittent. The contact drove the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the failure might be the brake booster. The mechanic bled the brake lines and adjusted the brakes. The vehicle was repaired; however, the brake failure recurred. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 123,000.

When I had to make a quick stop the brake pedal went to floor and has been this way had it checked and found THE ABS HCU has a valve sticking and was also told it is a issue on other edge and other ford vehicles scared to drive car a brake issue that really needs fird attention

Brake pedal fades to the floor of the vehicle which presents brakes not working. The vehicle has only has a little over 22,000 miles

The brake pedal goes all the way to the floor and very little braking is applied to the wheels. The problem appeared while driving. One minute the brakes are fine, the next I have almost no brakes. Very big safety issue! The Ford dealer has diagnosed the problem with the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU). The car had the same issue 5 years ago and was repaired. This is the second time the brakes on this car have failed while driving. No warnings before or after the brake failure.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while reversing into a parking space, the brake pedal became hard to depress and the stopping distance was extended. During the failure, the vehicle nearly crashed into a concrete barrier. The contact indicated that the braking system failure had occurred on multiple occasions. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not yet contacted or notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 72,000.

2 months after I purchased this vehicle in 2021, I noticed soft brakes, the vehicle displayed low oil pressure it locked up and turned off. Proper oil was added and the brakes appeared normal afterwards. Around mid August 2022, I noticed that when I put pressure on brakes to slow the vehicle, the peddle would sink slowly to the floor and hard to slow vehicle down. So brakes were inspected and the rear brake pads were worn all the way down and the front brakes were like new.. All four brake pads were replaced with new pads. Well this did not correct the problem. I would still hear a swoosh from the brake peddle when releasing and brakes continued to slowly sink to floor.. So the master cylinder and the vacuum booster were replaced, brake lines were bled over 10 times and problem was still not corrected. No warning lights ever reflected on the vehicle. Now the vehicle will mot start and now i have to tow to repair shop. When I started looking up issues regarding my 2012 Ford Edge SEL, tan color. I noticed this has been a reoccurring issue with this make/model. Also, no repair/recall stickers were attached to the vehicle to address this issue. I purchased this vehicle August 2021 from a dealer in Wilmington, NC.

As I was coming to a stop at a red light the brakes seemed to have a squishy feel and I was unable to stop the vehicle. Eventually the vehicle came to a screeching stop as I slammed on the brakes numerous times. There were no warnings that the brakes were malfunctioning. Brake pads are all intact. After having the vehicle inspected I was advised it is the brake booster. Thankfully I did not crash into anyone.

It’s been 3 times already when the car brake pedal, out of nowhere, has gone close to the bottom of the floor while trying to make a stop. The brake hardly stops the vehicle afterwards. So I need to be extra careful driving slowly back home. It stays like that for a few days then it stars working again. Luckily I haven’t had an accident yet but I’m afraid it’s just a matter of time. I noticed many people have had the same problem and wonder why has there not been a recall. This is extremely dangerous. I’m the second owner, I believe, of this SUV. So I can only tell about my experiences, don’t know about the previous owner.

Brake pedal go's to the floor. Spongy brakes

The Power Brake Booster diaphragm fails. This caused the brakes to feel rock hard when depressing the pedal and almost not stop the vehicle. There is also a "hissing noise" when depressing the brake pedal. At other times the brake pedal will slowly sink to the floor while being depressed at a stop light. The vehicle is unsafe and can't be driven safely. It only has 115,762 miles on it. An independent repair shop confirmed the vacuum leak in the Power Brake Booster and suggested we contact Ford because they heard this is a consistent issue with this model. One representative at Ford did acknowledge that they have a failure of the power brake booster diaphragm and that they had extended the warranty on this specific item. I went to get it repaired at the dealership and they claim that warranty ended in May 2022 even though I have not exceeded the mileage of this extended warranty (120,000). Another Ford representative today indicated that there isn't an extended warranty for this item, but rather it is a recall item. She then said that there isn't a program for the repair, however. This is a legit safety issue that Ford acknowledges exists, but they aren't willing to correct the issue. That is unacceptable. Someone is going to get hurt and Ford knows it, but doesn't care. Who can help get this corrected?

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Edge. The contact stated while attempting to reverse the vehicle out of the driveway, and also while driving approximately 25 MPH, the braking system failed to operate properly. The contact depressed the brake pedal to the floor; however, the vehicle failed to respond as designed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that a family member and an independent mechanic attempted to repair the vehicle; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 99,000.

Mileage: 99,000

Intermittent brake issue, rock hard or down to the floor squish very soft and having to pump brakes, hissing noise. I am afraid there is going to be some kind of highway crash because of this problem and my warranty is not covering it because it's intermittent, but when it does happen it lasts days. I have a baby now and am afraid to drive my vehicle to far/fast. With all the comments I've been seeing it's the exact same issue, model and year. This NEEDS to be recalled before it turns into the Toyota problem years ago when the brakes completely failed.

This car has to have the break lines bleed regularly and it seems to be a common problem in the model.

On 12/22/2021 I was going to an appointment, when i got the bottom of the driveway the brakes kept fading like I was loosing brake fluid, I drove to my mechanics it was diagnosed to be ABS hydraulic control module. My understand from trying to get a new part, there are several hundred people looking for the same part. There were no dash lights or warnings so it is hard to believe that there are not accidents by this issue. If this had occurred on the road there would have been no stopping in an emergency. My car is still sitting waiting for the part. Its here if you need to check it out. The part is very difficult to get to. Again no warning till i put my foot on the brake pedal

brake system not performing properly even after replacing defective master cylinder component.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, the brake pedal would go to the floorboard while depressed with an abnormal sound. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

Mileage: 120,000

Applied my brakes while on the highway Heard a loud “hissing sound” and the brake pedal was rock hard. I ended up in the ditch.

I dont drive often or many miles so while driving on state route had to stop seeing several cars in front of me stopping for a dump truck backing in drive so pressed on brake but went to floor and did eventually stop however had spongy pedal until I got home. I did get brake pads and fluid checked with all being fine. My local Ford said they had not heard of this issue however I saw many reports submitted on this site and read a plea to Ford for a recall since mechanics say they have no fix for it. It came on suddenly and I am in fear to use my vehicle for fear of brake failure with damage and possible death. Please have company research, recall and fix before someone gives their life before something deadly cannot be undone. Thanks!!

Brake pedal went completely soft, and to the floor and did not slow the vehicle. This occurred out of nowhere. Brakes were working fine before this random loss of control and power. Almost hit the car in front of me. Eventually came to a stop with pedal all the way to the floor. Placed my car in park, took foot off the brake, then brakes came back to work as normal. Took it to multiple brake shops. No one will even touch it as there is no resolution. One shop has seen 9 fords with the exact same issue; Replaced the master cylinder, brake booster, and cleaning all lines with no resolve, thus having to reimburse customers for their parts and labor. Someone is going to die if Ford doesn’t make a recall. One customer quoted Ford for saying “We are looking into it. Until then drive carefully.” Wow. There are MANY people reporting the same problem. Do a little research.

Brake pedal goes to the floor - brake failure. Reading on-line, this appears to be a chronic, dangerous, widespread, multi-year Ford Motor problem. The issue appears to be a result of a systemic faulty braking Ford Motor issue.

My brake pedal is squeaking when I push it,the brake pedal is going all the was down and gets stiff.If I'm at a red light and have my foot on the pedal it push up like trying to get my foot off of it..The mechanic told me that he could've sworn there was a re call on the Ford Edge's..I scared and I know I could never afford to fix this huge problem.

Brake failure. Brakes sync to floor and do not work. Safety of hurting self and others. No warnings or symptoms.

Vehicle has a extended warrantee on the power brake booster that Ford is unwilling to repair due to a previous replacement of the part in 2017. Brake boosters are out of stock and unavailable, due to volume of repairs. Both power brake boosters failed approximately 5 years from install. The brake issues created a very unsafe incident that almost caused an accident.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while reversing, the vehicle made an abnormal squealing sound. In addition, the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. The brake pedal was very soft. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the failure was undetermined. The failure recurred 3 times. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 87,000.

Mileage: 87,000

Brake pedal goes to floor, Brake booster was replaced 10/31/2019 49170 Miles, Brakes have failed again pedal goes to floor 11/2021 52600 miles. Repair only lasted 3400 miles

Brake pedal goes almost to floor. It has a little engagement at the top pedal then becomes spongy then stopping power at the bottom of pedal. Also there is a "thump" sound when you first press the pedal. When you let off rmr pedal there is a whistle. The booster was replaced during an extended warranty several years ago.

Brakes were working totally fine for 1 hr. drive to city. A few hours later, I returned to my car to drive home. When I put my foot on the brake pedal while it was in park (but engine started,) everything felt normal. When I put it into reverse to back out of the spot, my foot went all the way to the floor. This "soft pedal" occurred with NO warning lights/sounds/etc. There was NO warning that my brakes would give out on me at all. Luckily, mine happened,(both occasions), in parking lots, not in higher speed situations. Any higher speed situation could have been catastrophic. It was frightening. Fortunately, I was a nearly vacant lot, so I tried backing up to see what would happen and the brake again had to go ALL THE WAY to the floor and made a grinding sound (like stopping on gravel sort of). It did not stop as usual. It rolled to a stop after traveling a few feet. (Mind you, this is only rolling back from a parked position.) I got on You Tube and typed in "2012 Ford Edge, brake to the floor" there were hundreds of folks complaining about this issue. It is related to the ABS Hydraulic Control Unit, although my ABS never illuminated. You Tube had "quick temporary fix". Go in reverse upto 20-25 MPH and slam on the brakes "grenade stopping". Took 7 times (frightening given I didn't know if the brakes would engage at all), my brake pedal popped back up from the floorboard and it felt like a hard pedal again. It worked fine for one day. The same problem reoccurred the next day. Same reverse/grenade stop procedure and it got me to the dealership. Apparently this gets the valve to go back to closed position after air got in HCU from open valve. My Ford Service Advisor acknowledged how common the repair was and were surprised the Edges weren't included in the 19S54 Recall with other models. Repair cost me $1,435. They also found the Master Cylinder needed some repair-more money. I will try to get the actual part removed from my car back for inspection

Brakes peddle soft, fluid full, intermittent times where putting on the brake and felt they weren’t working (scary). Pads, rotors fine. Taking in to dealer and anticipate they will replace brake booster, master brake cylinder and still the brake issue remains not fixed. Reading posts on internet and many owners having same issue where dealer can’t seemed to be able to determine problem.

SOFT BRAKE PEDAL WHEN STOPPING AT ALL SPEEDS CITY OR HIGHWAY

ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER THE FEW YEARS WE'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE WE HAVE EXPERIENCED AN ALMOST COMPLETE LOSS OF BREAKING POWER JUST TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON A CITY ROAD OR PARKING LOT. THE BREAKS WILL SUDDENLY BECOME VERY SOFT AND ONLY BEGIN TO WORK WITH THE PEDAL MASHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. WE HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT EACH TIME BECAUSE WE WERE AT VERY LOW SPEEDS BUT CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE IT APPEARS IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MANY FORD OWNERS SINCE 2012 BUT THEY HAVE IGNORED THE SAFETY CONCERNS.

I HAD MY BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS GOING TO THE FLOOR. TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER BUT THE BRAKES WERE OK AGAIN. THEY SAID THEY COULD DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. 2 WEEKS AGO SAME PROBLEM PEDAL GOING THE FLOOR, NOW SPONGY PEDAL. HAD A NEW BRAKE HOSE PUT ON AND THE BRAKES BLED AND IT IS STILL SPONGY. TROUBLE STOPPING VERY DANGEROUS!!

2012 FORD EDGE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ABS SYSTEM FAILURE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL MODULE, MASTER CYLINDER, AND BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.*JS

MY VEHICLE HAS 98000 MILES ON IT AND FORD HAS STATED IT NEEDS A ABS CONTROL UNIT THAT'S A COST OF $2000.00. MY BRAKES ARE AWFUL. I PAID FOR A BRAKE BOOSTER & MASTER CYLINDER I DIDN'T NEED. MY LATCH WENT AND THAT COST A LOT OF MONEY LEFT FRONT DOOR NOW MY BACK UP CAMERA DOESN'T WORK. WHAT'S NEXT???

BRAKES ROUTINELY WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND MAKES STOPPING CAR DIFFICULT. TOOK CAR TO FORD WHO ONLY SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE BRAKE ISSUE AFTER KEEPING MY VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 2 YEARS. FORD REPLACED BRAKE BOOSTER IN 2014 ON A RECALL. BRAKES WORKED FINE FOR A FEW YEARS AND WENT BACK TO NOT FULLY STOPPING THE VEHICLE. DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME BUT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. IF I PUMP THE BRAKES ENOUGH AT A STOP LIGHT THEY WILL WORK FOR A WHILE WITH NO ISSUES. I CAN'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY BECAUSE OF THE DANGER IT POSES IF THE BRAKES SHOULD NOT WORK.

Mileage: 136,000

BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKES ARE ALMOST ENTIRELY DISENGAGED. THIS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST BUT NOW SEEMS PERMANENT, RENDERING VEHICLE UNSAFE FOR USE. THIS PROBLEM NEARLY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED, THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. BRAKE FLUID IS GOOD AND CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN. CAR IS CURRENTLY PARKED AS WE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PROCEED SAFELY. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AT ANY SPEED OR DIRECTION.

Mileage: 114,000

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME SINCE PURCHASING THIS 2012 FORD EDGE THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSS OF BRAKES. THE 1ST TIME THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED REPLACED. I AM NOW DEALING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM 3 OR SO YEARS LATER. THIS HAPPENED LAST NIGHT ON MY WAY TO SCHOOL WHICH ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. I'M NOW MISSING 2 DAYS OF SCHOOL IN ORDER TO FIND SOMEONE CAPABLE OF FIXING THIS. THIS OBVIOUSLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS COMPONENT. THIS NEAR ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET, HOWEVER MY ROUTE HOME WAS ALSO ON THE HIGHWAY

FIRST THE MASTER CYLINDER WENT, THEN THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND NOW THE HYDROLIC CONTROL UNIT. EACHPART MORE EXPENSIVE THENTHE LAST AND THE LAST BEING 2119.20 TO REPAIR. THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM, PARTS I WAS TOLD SHOULD NOT BREAK. I HAVE BEEN TOLD, BY A REPUTABLE MECHANIC THAT OFTEN WHEN REPLACING THE BRAKE BOOSTER, THE LINES ARE IMPROPERLY BLED ANDAIR GETS INTO THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. UPON FARTHER RESEARCH ON LINE INTO THE ISSUE, THERE ARE PAGE AFTER PAGE OF THE SAME COMPLAINT.

Mileage: 100,000

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO COME TO A STOP OR SLOW AT HIGHWAY SPEED OR IN A PARKING LOT THE BRAKE PEDAL LOOSES PRESSURE AND GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT EFFECTIVELY SLOWING OR STOPPING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN VERY CLOSE TO SMASHING OTHER DRIVERS DUE TO THE BRAKE MALFUNCTION. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE SAID HE HAS A FORD CAR THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT WAS RECALLED.

Mileage: 145,000

BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN PUBLICIZED NOTICES, INCLUDING ON THIS WEBSITE, ARE WHAT I AM CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING ON MY FORD EDGE. CAR TAKES LONGER TO STOP AND BRAKING SYSTEM FEELS SOFT. ADDITIONALLY, THE ADVANCETRAC WARNING SYSTEM LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON OCCASION WHEN CAR IS IN PARK FOR 10-20 MINUTES WITHOUT MOVING, WITH ENGINE RUNNING. PER THE FORD FORUM, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE A SOLUTION FROM FORD. I HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE THE FORD IS INTERESTED OR ABLE TO REMEDY EITHER OF THESE ISSUES. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW THAT BRAKING ISSUE STARTED TODAY.

BOUGHT THIS CAR OCT 2019. TONIGHT, AUG 2020, AFTER DRIVING IN AN INTENSE THUNDERSTORM ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 70MPH, BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY TRAVELLED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. ONLY THE LAST 1/4" (ESTIMATED) OF TRAVEL ACTUALLY APPLIED ANY BRAKING EFFORT AT ALL. I THOUGHT MAYBE SOMEONE HAD CUT A BRAKE LINE OR SOMETHING...BUT ONCE I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF I CHECKED FLUIDS, ETC. (ALL NORMAL). AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, BRAKES WERE WORKING PROPERLY. VERY SCARY AND VERY DANGEROUS!!! WHEN CAN I EXPECT THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN?!? I REALLY WISH I DIDNT HAVE TO DRIVE THIS THING EVERY NIGHT...

THIS IS AN UPDATE ON A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, #11339451. AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP IN EL PASO, TX REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEY REINSTALLED THE ORIGINAL MASTER CYLINDER AND BOTH MANUALLY BLED THE LINES AND THEN USED A COMPUTER ASSISTED BRAKE BLEEDER WHICH CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEIR TOTAL CHARGE WAS $100.00 COMPARED TO THE ESTIMATE FROM A FORD DEALER WHICH WAS $2,176.12. THE ESTIMATE FROM THE FORD DEALER WAS TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE ABS HSU MODULE. NEITHER PART WAS NEEDED, JUST BLEEDING THE LINES.

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 15 MPH IN A PARKING LOT AND HAVING GONE OVER A SPEED BUMP, I HEARD A CLUNK AND IMMEDIATELY HAD A SUPER SOFT BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKES STILL STOP THE CAR, BUT WITH DIFFICULTY. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER IN EL PASO, TX DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEMS AS A DEFECTIVE MASTER CYLINDER AND FAULTY ABS HCU MODULE. THE ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIRS IS $2,176.12. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 73,070.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN VEHICLE, BRAKE PEDAL FELT HARD/STIFF. AVOIDED A MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT POSSIBLY CAUSING MY DEATH ALONG WITH MY WIFE IN CAR. TOOK TO MECHANIC AND DIAGNOSED WITH FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 90,600 MILES ON 2012. *TR

Mileage: 90,600

SUDDEN BRAKE FAILURE. BRAKE PEDAL GOES DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD BUT BRAKES ARE NOT ENGAGED. UP TO THAT POINT THE BRAKES WERE FINE. THERE WAS NO GRADUAL SOFTENING OF THE PEDAL TO WARN ABOUT A PROBLEM. ONE MINUTE THE BRAKES WERE FINE. THE NEXT MOMENT THEY FAILED. LUCKILY THE CAR WAS MOVING SLOWLY AND THE MANUAL EMERGENCY/PARKING HAD TO BE USED TO STOP THE CAR THE PROBLEM IS A FAILURE OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER - WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

Mileage: 31,500

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THE BRAKES HAVE FAILED ON MY 2012 FORD EDGE. THE SYMPTOMS ARE IDENTICAL, SO I EXPECT THE PROBLEM TO BE IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE BRAKES WORKED PROPERLY UNTIL THE FAILURE. SUDDENLY THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT THE BRAKES WERE NOT APPLIED. BOTH OCCURRENCES WERE IN JUNE, BUT 4 YEARS APART. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS AT 31,500 KM AND THE SECOND AT 85,400 KM. THE BOOSTER FAILURE IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL. *TR

Mileage: 85,400

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, A CAR WENT TO TURN IN FRONT OF ME AND I WENT TO BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN AND MY PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND BARELY ANY BRAKE. IM 7 MONTHS PREGNANT AND HAD MY SON AND NIECE WITH ME. COULD HAVE BEEN IN A WRECK. MY VEHICLE HAS NEW BRAKES. *TR

Mileage: 130,000

BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. MY SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. THEY FAILED WHEN I WAS ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN FOR AN UPCOMING STOP SIGN. THANKFULLY, NO VEHICLES WERE COMING THE OTHER WAY. THE ODOMETER WAS ~48,600. I WAS NOT TOLD OF ANY EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE POWER BOOSTER WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP IN ERIE PA IN 2015. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A FAILURE OF THE POWER BOOSTER. HE REPLACED WITH AN AFTER FACTORY PART AS I WAS RELUCTANT TO REPLACE WITH A FORD PART DUE TO ISSUE CAUSED BY A FAULTY FORD PART. IT COST ME $406.34 TOTAL INCLUDING LABOR AND THE PART, NO TOWING CHARGE AS I USED MY AAA MEMBERSHIP. A FEW WEEKS LATER I MENTIONED THE PROBLEM TO A MALE FRIEND WHO SUGGESTED I CHECK THE FORD WEBSITE WHICH I DID. I DISCOVERED THIS PART WAS KNOWN TO BE FAULTY AND THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON IT. I THEN CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT FROM, THEY SAID I'D HAVE TO CONTACT CORP. FORD. I DID AND GOT THE RUN AROUND BETWEEN CORPORATE AND LOCAL DEALERSHIP DESPITE HAVING PROVIDED A LOT OF DOCUMENTATION. NO ONE WANTED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THIS PROBLEM. I PROVED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP NEVER MADE ME AWARE OF EXTENDED WARRANTY EITHER AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE OR LATER. THE ORIGINAL SALESPERSON NO LONGER WORKED THERE. HAD I BEEN INFORMED BY FORD OF THIS PROBLEM, I WOULD HAVE THEN KNOWN TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT HAPPENED INSTEAD OF MY LOCAL MECHANIC. THERE WAS NO REASON WHY FORD COULDN'T HAVE SUPPLIED THIS TO ME EXCEPT FOR EMPLOYEE FAILURE. THE CAR WAS A FORD, ITS VIN IN FORD'S SYSTEM AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS ISSUES BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE... *TR

BRAKE PEDAL SOMETIMES GOES SOFT, SOMETIMES HAVE TO PUMP BRAKES TO STOP. BRAKE PEDAL IS SOMETIMES NOT WORKING WHEN CAR SITS FOR LONGER THAN 24HRS. HAD COMPLAINED TO FORD, UNABLE TO DUPLICATE ISSUE.

Mileage: 110,000

IN JULY 2016 I HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED AT A DEALERSHIP AFTER ENCOUNTERING BRAKING PROBLEMS, IT WAS A WARRANTY ISSUE (68530 MILES). EARLY FEBRUARY 2020 I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES, THEY WERE SPONGY AND I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. TODAY (2/12/2020) WITH 101155 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT (SLOW SPEED) AND I ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM, EXCEPT NO SPONGY BRAKES, ZERO BRAKING ABILITY UNTIL I HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL FULLY PRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD. EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT CONDUCTED THE MAINTENANCE AND I AM WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM. NOTE: THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IS FINE. THE EXPERIENCE EARLIER THIS MONTH TOOK PLACE WHEN I WAS PREPARING TO PARK. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, I AM CONCERNED FOR NOT ONLY MY SAFETY BUT THE PEOPLE I ENCOUNTER ON THE ROADS. I RAN MY VIN AND SEE THAT I HAVE NO RECALLS THAT HAVE YET TO BE ADDRESSED; BUT MY CONCERN IS THAT PERHAPS THE FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER IS FAULTY AGAIN AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE RE-ISSUED..

Mileage: 101,155

THERE IS A PARTIAL RECALL ON THESE MODEL FORD EDGE'S. WHERE THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER ARE DEFECTIVE AND CAUSE THE BRAKES TO FILL WITH AIR AND LOSE PARTIAL AND SOMETIMES TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING POWER. THIS HAPPENED TO MY 2012 FORD EDGE SPORT. I BOUGHT NEW FACTORY PARTS AND HAD THEM INSTALLED BY A PROFESSIONAL. THEY WENT OUT AGAIN. IT HAD TO DO WITH HE FACTORY OF THE PARTS. PLEASE PLACE A MASS RECALL ON THIS PART. MY WIFE AND KIDS SHOULDN'T GET INTO A WRECK DUE TO BRAKES GOING OUT AGAIN. THEY ALREADY HAVE TOTALLY GONE OUT TWICE. THE 2ND TIME MY WIFE WITH DAUGHTER AND MY SON IN THE CAR COULDNT SLOW DOWN IN TIME AND GOT INTO A FENDER BENDER. IT WASN'T SERIOUS. THIS TIME. THANK YOU. ALSO, ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN NOTED BY THOUSANDS OF FORD EDGE OWNERS IS THE STYLE OF FUEL DOOR. IT DOESN'T SEAL PROPERLY WHICH IN RETURN CAUSES A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO APPEAR ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AS SELL. THANK YOU.

THE BRAKES RANDOMLY BECOME SOFT AND THE PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR BEFORE BRINGING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP. A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM WAS PUT OUT ON 12/23/2019 FOR 2006-10 FORD FUSION, MERCURY MILAN, LINCOLN MKZ. THE 2012 EDGE SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING 55-70 MPH AND THE BRAKES RANDOMLY GO SOFT IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS NOT A CONSTANT OCCURRENCE, AND IT IS HARD FOR MY MECHANIC TO REPRODUCE. IT HAPPENS IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS, PARKING, HIGHWAY, IN TOWN, WHEN ON/OFF THE BRAKES OR JUST HITTING THEM TO SLOW DOWN ON A HIGHWAY. I HAVE USED MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP FROM HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF ME ON A HIGHWAY ONCE, AND MY HUSBAND HIT A BUSH WHEN PARKING BECAUSE OF THIS. I REACHED OUT TO FORD, WHO WAS AWARE OF MY COMPLAINT, AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO ACTIVE RECALL, AND TO "BE SAFE" THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. EITHER MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE IS GOING TO GET HURT.

WHILE TRAVELING 45 MILES PER HOUR ON AN ICY ROAD, I LOST MY BRAKES COMPLETELY, THE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR. THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS CLOSE, AND I WAS ABLE TO RECOVER. THE REPAIR FOUND THE ABS MOTOR TO HAVE AN OPEN VALVE WHICH ROBBED THE SYSTEM OF PRESSURE. THERE WAS NO AFTERMARKET ABS MOTOR AVAILABLE, SO I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER FORD PART FOR $650.00 WHICH I FEAR WILL ALSO FAIL. I SEE THERE ARE NUMEROUS SIMILAR INCIDENTS ON THE WEB AND I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE THE SUBJECT OF A SAFETY RECALL. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ONE SIDE OF THE BRAKE CALIBER EMITTED MORE PRESSURE THAN THE OTHER, WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS TO WEAR OVER TIME. THE CONTACT PREVIOUSLY REPLACED THE SAME PARTS TWICE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS IN THE PAST.

DRIVING DOWN A STEEP HILL AFTER PICKING UP MY INFANT CHILD FROM DAYCARE MY BRAKES LOST ALL PRESSURE. MY BRAKES HAD DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE CATCHING ANY BRAKES AT ALL. I IMMEDIATELY THREW MY CAR INTO 1ST GEAR AND BEGAN MY VERY SLOW AND SCARY DESCENT INTO TOWN AND IMMEDIATELY INTO THE SERVICE STATION. I PARKED THE CAR, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN THE TECHNICIAN CAME TO TEST DRIVE FOR ISSUES AS THERE WERE NO CODES BEING THROWN, THE CAR HAD REGAINED ITS NORMAL BRAKES. I HAD MISTAKENLY ASSUMED IT WAS A GLITCH OF SOME SORT AND TWO WEEKS LATER IT DID THE SAME THING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IN TOWN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND RESTART THE ENGINE, BUT THIS TIME THE CAR DID NOT REGAIN THE BRAKES AS NORMAL AND IS STILL NOT DRIVEABLE WITH MY KIDS IN TOW. WE HAVE MANAGED TO PARK IT IN THE MEANTIME, BUT THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

Mileage: 120,000

WHEN NORMALLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ABS INTERMITTENTLY ACTIVATES. ALSO, THE BRAKE PEDAL GETS SOFT. THERE ARE VERY NEW BRAKES ON MY 2012 FORD EDGE. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER, FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE HOTLINE ALL SAY THERE IS NO KNOWN ISSUE AS THIS. THERE ARE WEBSITE LISTING NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS INDICATING SAME ISSUES WHERE ABS ACTIVATES, BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY FORD AND A RECALL PERFORMED. SO FAR, NO KNOWN DEATHS BUT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ACCIDENTS WITH INJURIES. THE ISSUE IS IN THE ABS, NOT THE BOOSTER, NOT THE MASTER CYLINDER. DISABLING THE ABS REMOVES THE ISSUE. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

YOU GO TO APPLY BRAKES AND IT SUDDENLY GOES STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. FIRST 3 OCCURRENCES I WAS ABLE TO PUMP THE BRAKES HARD 3-6 TIMES AND IT GRADUALLY WENT BACK TO NORMAL. 4TH TIME RESULTED IN BRAKE FAILURE MULTIPLE TIMES OVER A 2-3 MILE PERIOD, CONTINUALLY PUMPING BRAKES. THEY WOULD START TO STIFFEN UP, BE SPONGY, FALL TO THE FLOOR AGAIN, STIFFEN UP, FAIL, SPONGY, ETC. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE APPEARS TO BE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. HOW MANY CRASHES OR DEATHS WILL IT TAKE TO HOLD THE MANUFACTURER ACCOUNTABLE? THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED THOROUGHLY, THE ISSUE NEEDS TO BE DETERMINED AND CORRECTED PRIOR TO THE LOSS OF LIFE OR SERIOUS INJURY. PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS SHOW COSTLY REPAIRS WITH NO RESULT OF THE ISSUE BEING CORRECTED.

"TAKATA RECALL' - I CANNOT COUNT HOW MANY TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. THE BREAKS JUST REFUSES TO FUNCTION AND THE SPEED WOULD NOT DECREASE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BREAKS AND THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. LAST SUNDAY (SEPTEMBER 8,), MY FAMILY AND I ALMOST DIED ON THE WAY TO CHURCH. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP!!! IT FINALLY CAME TO A HALT AFTER BEEN STOPPED BY A PAVEMENT. I HAD TO CALL FORD FOR A TOW TRUCK (WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR BUT THEY GAVE ME A DISCOUNT). MY CAR HAS BEEN WITH THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR THREE DAYS NOW. THEY KEEP SAYING THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT - THIS WAS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME AND 1-2 MONTHS LATER, WE ARE BACK AT THE EXACT SAME SPOT!! THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE. WHO ELSE IS SUPPOSED TO DIAGNOSE A CAR BUT THE MANUFACTURER?!! IF THE MANUFACTURER CANNOT FIND WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT, THEN THE WORLD IS IN BIG TROUBLE. I THANK GOD FOR ALWAYS PROTECTING MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION FROM HIGHWAY TO TURNING TO RED LIGHT. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE FOR THE ROAD. **ON THE NEXT PAGE: I ANSWERED YES TO "WAS THERE A CRASH" - I DIDN'T CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE, I CRASHED INTO A PAVEMENT AT CHURCH THAT STOPPED THE CAR.

THE REPAIRS HAD NOT YET BEEN COMPLETED. THE DEALER DENIED THE VIN ACCUSATION AND THE CONTACT WAS SEEKING LEGAL ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT SINCE THE DEALER WAS NOT AUTHORIZED BY THEM, THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR, SHE WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP THE CAR IN A TIMELY MANNER, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. WE TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE MASTER CYLINDER, THEY REPLACED IT BUT THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE. THEY THEN REPLACED A HYDRAULIC BRAKE MODULE AND SAID IT WAS OK. WE PICKED IT UP, PAID $781.40 FOR THE REPAIR. WE DROVE IT HOME APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE, AND THE PROBLEM HAD NOT CHANGED, WE ALMOST WENT THROUGH THE GARAGE BEFORE IT WOULD STOP.

THE SECOND TIME I HAD TO STOP QUICKLY AND BRAKE GRINDED TO A STOP IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND A CITY STREET. BOTH TIME THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. DURING MY NEW YORK STATE INSPECTION DID NOT PASS DUE TO A SOFT BRAKE PEDAL, I HAD THE BACK BRAKES REPLACED AND THEY DISCOVERED THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD A LEAK. I HAD IT REPLACED AS WELL AND THE BRAKES STILL ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT THIS SATURDAY TO HAVE THE LONG PINS (I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT'S CALLED) REPLACED ON THE BACK BRAKES. THEY ALSO SAID IT'S POSSIBLE I WILL NEED TO HAVE THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED. AFTER SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS AND 4 SATURDAY'S SPENT AT THE CAR REPAIR STORE AND STILL NOT RESOLUTION TO THE BRAKE PROBLEM. I'VE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES ON THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL CAR MAYBE IT'S TIME TO ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE IT COSTS SOMEONE THEIR LIFE.

Mileage: 120,000

I WAS OUT RUNNING ERRANDS AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. LEFT A STORE TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER FROM PRACTICE AND HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKES TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. THIS WAS AFTER STOPPING FINE AT THE PREVIOUS THREE STORES AND NUMEROUS LIGHTS I ENCOUNTERED. THIS ISSUE CONTINUED FOR THE NEXT 15 MILES OF LIGHTS AND TRAFFIC, UNTIL I GOT HOME. I DID STOP AT AN O'REILLYS AUTO PARTS ON MY WAY HOME AND CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, WHICH WAS FULL. I HAVE PARKED THE VEHICLE AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY SON'S JEEP FOR THE PAST THREE DAYS. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO DROP THE EDGE OFF AT WILLIAMSBURG FORD, WILLIAMSBURG, VA, ON 3/28/19. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND EVIDENTLY THERE IS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT OF A BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUE COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY (13N01) AND HAVE READ MORE THAN 130 OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED ISSUES IDENTICAL TO MINE. NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THIS IS NOT A RECALL DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE BEING BRAKES!!!!!!! FAILURE OCCURRED AT 69,536 MILES ON ODOMETER. I HAVE ALSO RECENTLY HAD AN ISSUE WITH HARD SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE. I FEEL AND HEAR A CLUNK WHEN SHIFTING AND TAKING OFF FROM BEING PARKED.

Mileage: 69,536

WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO BOTTOM BEFORE STOPPING. BRAKE FLUID IS FULL. PROBLEM STARTED IMMEDIATELY AND WITHOUT WARNING. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED PULLING INTO PARKING AREA.

Mileage: 87,000

FIRST HAS BRAKE ISSUES ABOUT 1-2 YEARS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2012. THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND I HAVE HAD NO ISSUES UP UNTIL JANUARY 2019. MY BRAKES WENT OUT WHILE STOPPING AT A TRAIN TRACK WITH A TRAIN COMING, REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND ALL IS SEEMINGLY WELL. NOW ONE MONTH LATER, MY BRAKES HAVE GONE OUT AGAIN WHILE STOPPING AT A STOPLIGHT IN THE RAIN (ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME), AND THE MECHANIC CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. THEY'VE REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AGAIN, THE MASTER CYLINDER, FLUSHED THE LINES, CALLED FORD AND FLUSHED THE LINES THE WAY THEY RECOMMENDED, AND THE MOST THEY CAN GET MY BRAKES TO WORK FOR IS 30-40 MINUTES BEFORE THEY GO OUT AGAIN. THE MECHANIC LITERALLY TOLD MY DAD TO LIGHT A MATCH, AND LET THE INSURANCE TAKE CARE OF IT! WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED BASED ON ALL OF THESE STORIES?!?

Mileage: 78,000

WHILE DRIVING AND TRYING TO STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY HARD TO PUSH. HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED. NOW AFTER ONLY 6 MONTHS THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SOFT. HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED AND IT IS STILL ACTING THE SAME. THIS IS UNSAFE AND WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH WITH FORD EDGES. THEY HAVE A REPLACEMENT PROGRAM IN PLACE FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER BUT THIS WAS FIXED AND HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM. SO OBVIOUSLY THAT ISN'T THE ANSWER.

Mileage: 72,000

BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. HAPPENED IN AN INSTANT. NO LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID, NO EXTERNAL TO ATMOSPHERE FLUID LEAK. TAKEN TO FORD DEALERSHIP. DEALER COULD NOT FIND ISSUE, JUST STARTED REPLACING PARTS. AT FORD DEALER OVER ONE MONTH AND ONE WEEK. COST TO REPAIR OVER $900.00. DEALER COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHAT WENT WRONG. I HAD TO PUSH THE ISSUE HARD WITH THE SVC. MANAGER. FINALLY AFTER 2ND "SPECIAL BRAKE FLUSH" ISSUE WAS CORRECTED! NOW FOR THE SMOKING GUN..DAUGHTER HAS 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. RECENTLY GETS RECALL FOR BRAKE ISSUE. HONDA MUST BLEED REAR BRAKES. LOOKED UP RECALL. ISSUE WITH "COATING ON REAR INTERNAL DISC BRAKE PARTS CREATES AIR BUBBLES INSIDE SYSTEM CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKE PEDAL". LOOK UP WHO SUPPLIES BRAKES TO FORD AND HONDA (& MANY OTHERS)....COMPANY CALLED AKEBONO SUPPLIES TO MOST OF N.A.! THIS IS ANOTHER "TAKATA" ISSUE BREWING! I SUSPECT FORD IS COVERING UP ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS LOSS OF BRAKE ISSUE. AND, THIS LOSS OF BRAKE ISSUE WILL OCCUR ON THOUSANDS IF NOT MILLIONS OF OTHER VEHICLES, ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JENNINGS ANDERSON FORD (31480 FRONTAGE RD, BOERNE, TX 78006) WHERE THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED. TWO WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. THE CONTACT HAD TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT AND MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

Mileage: 117,000

THIS IS THE THIRD COMPLAINT I HAVE FILED IN AN ATTEMPT FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE INVESTIGATED. AS I WAS PULLING INTO MY GARAGE THIS EVENING, MY BRAKES FAILED AGAIN WITH NO WARNING. I NARROWLY MISSED HITTING THE WALL. I WAS TRAVELING AT A LOW SPEED. MY VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000 MILES ON IT.

Mileage: 100,000

I HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER, MASTER CYLINDER, NEW BRAKE PADS AND BRAKE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM REPLACED 5 MONTHS AGO AND NOW IT'S DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. BRAKES ARE HARD TO PUSH AND VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP OR GO ALL THE WAY DOWN. ALSO, BURNING SMELL AROUND THE BRAKES. VERY DANGEROUS.

Mileage: 126,357

WHEN APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION THE BRAKES FAILED AND BRAKE PEDAL FELL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, FORCING ME TO TURN INTO CURB TO AVOID BEING HIT BY CROSS TRAFFIC. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE THAT OCCURS WHEN PRESSURE IS PLACED ON THE SYSTEM. THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS ALREADY REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER (TWICE) AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL WRECKS, AS THERE IS TYPICALLY NO WARNING SIGNS TO WHEN IT MAY OCCUR.

Mileage: 100,323

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO WORK AFTER DROPPING OUR 2 YEAR OLD OFF AT GRANDMAS. SHE WENT TO SLOW FOR A STALE GREEN LIGHT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY SHE WAS ALMOST TO WORK AT THIS POINT. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY SHOP. REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER BECAUSE IT HAS A KNOWN ISSUE ( NO RECALL JUST WARRANTY EXTENSION), ALSO REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER BECAUSE THIS WAS CLEARLY A HYDRAULIC FAILURE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM. DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME THAT NIGHT WITH A GOOD PEDAL UNTIL I GET TO THE OFF RAMP, AT 70 MILES AN HOUR THERE IS NO LONGER ANY BRAKE PEDAL AND HAD TO USE THE TRANSMISSION TO SAFELY SLOW THE VEHICLE. NOW MY WIFE IS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE HER VEHICLE IN FEAR THAT THE PEDAL IS THERE ONE MINUTE AND GONE THE NEXT.

I WAS ON 222 IN KUTZTOWN PA IT WAS RAIN THE VECHILE IN FRONT OF SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES I IN TURN DID THE SAMETHING EXCEPT THEIR WAS NO ABS THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR I HAD ENOUGH DISTANCE BETWEEN ME AND THE OTHER THE OTHER CARME TO A STOP THE BRAKES WERE VERY SPONGY.THE VECHILE WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER, THE ABS BOOSTER, REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROATERS.THE BRAKE PADS AND ROATORS WERE NEW APRIL 2017 AND INSPECTED IN MAY 2018 THEY WERE FINE.ONLY 13000 MILES WERE PUT ON THE CAR SINCE 2017.ON THE WAY HOME TODAY THE BRAKES WENT OUT AGAIN.

DEALER DIAGNOSES AND REPLACES BRAKE BOOSTER. 9-24-2018 COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE UNABLE TO STOP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MANAGED TO GET TO SAFETY. PEDAL TRAVELS TO FLOOR NO STOPPING. CALLED DEALER ONCE MORE, WAS ADVISED TO CONTACT FORD FOR COVERAGE OF WORK AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. DO NOT WANT THIS VEHICLE WITH 2 BRAKE FAILURE EVENTS. PENDING SERVICE CASE.

ON 9/18/18 WHILE TRAVELING HOME FROM DOING SOME ERRANDS WENT TO APPLY BRAKES TO SLOW AND TURN AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, PUMPED THEM A FEW TIMES TO STOP AND SINCE THEY HAVE PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE TO A POINT OUR MECHANIC SUGGESTED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH IT LOOKS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE EDGE! IS FORD GOING TO STEP UP?? SOUNDS LIKE A COSTLY ADVENTURE. FORD NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!! REACHED OUT TO FORD FOR RECALL INFO. AND THERE HAPPENS TO NONE FOR MY VEHICLE. THEY SUGGESTED TO BRING TO A FORD DEALER MECHANIC AND AFTER DIAGNOSIS MAYBE FORD WILL HELP EASE THE FINANCIAL PAIN. MAYBE! UNFORTUNATELY FORD MECHANICS ARE MORE THAN DOUBLE THE COST OF OUR MORE THAN CAPABLE MECHANIC. FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL EDGE OWNERS PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL.

Mileage: 86,000

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR MAKING THE VEHICLE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE BRAKES AND MASTER CYLINDER HOWEVER THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM OF NO BRAKE PEDAL. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FORD WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN A RASH OF THIS PROBLEM, AND ADVISED THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY THE ABS CONTROL MODULE. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AS I TYPE. THIS IS THE SECOND ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, THE FIRST WAS A BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE THAT MADE THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD TO PUSH.

Mileage: 76,000

BRAKE BOOSTER WENT OUT, DOOR AJAR KEEPS COMING AND LEAVES MY INTERIOR LIGHTS ON DRAING BATTERY

IN AUGUST 2018, I APPLIED THE BRAKES ON MY 2012 FORD EDGE AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AND TOOK IT FOR DIAGNOSTIC; ABS SENSOR WAS TRIPPED, BUT ONCE RESET ALL APPEARED TO WORK FINE. WAS NOT SURE WHAT PROBLEM WAS AND SINCE COULD NOT REPLICATE, IT WAS NOT CLEAR WHAT WE SHOULD DO TO FIX PROBLEM. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAD NO BRAKE PRESSURE, BUT COULD HEAR A WHISTLE SOUND WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE. I HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED. HOWEVER, ON TEST DRIVE DURING HARD BRAKING THE PEDAL AGAIN WENT TO FLOOR, WHISTLING STOPPED. IT APPEARS THE PROBLEM IS IN THE ABS SYSTEM. THE COST TO REPLACE ELECTRONIC AND HYDRAULIC ABS IS OVER $1100. AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH, I CAN SEE THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGES -- CLEARLY TOO COMMON.

Mileage: 95,000

THE ORIGINAL POWER BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. THE SECOND POWER BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED AND ANOTHER ONE WAS REPLACED. THE FORD DEALERSHIP DID NOT WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS PART AGAIN AND PASSED IT OFF AS SOMETHING ELSE (REAR CALIPER) CAUSING THE BRAKES TO LOOSE PRESSURE. I HOPE A REVIEW OF THESE PARTS WILL BE MADE FOR OTHER DRIVER'S SAFETY. SEE ATTACHMENTS.

Mileage: 109,000

THE BRAKE BOOSTER WENT BAD AND THE FORD DEALER NOTED THIS WAS NO LONGER COVERED EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A FIELD SERVICE ISSUE NOTED. CAR IS UNDER 133000, POWER IN BRAKES JUST WENT AWAY AND BRAKES WERE SPONGY.

3 TIMES BRAKES WERE SOFT AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO FLOOR WHEN TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. CAR WAS SLOW TO STOP!!! TAKING A LONG TIME, STANDING UP ON BRAKES. AFTER PUMPING THEM SEVERAL TIMES STILL PEDAL GOING TO FLOOR. VERY DANGEROUS. NOW, VERY LITTLE BRAKES AT ALL. EVEN SITTING STILL, BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR. ONLINE REVIEWS, MANY FORD EDGE VEHICLES WITH SAME MANUFACTURE PROBLEM. I'LL BE TAKING CAR TO MECHANIC BECAUSE I NEED TRANSPORTATION.

Mileage: 61,180

WHEN DRIVING MY 2012 FORD EDGE I EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS. WHEN I WAS PARKING OR TRYING TO STOP FOR A STOP LIGHT, THE BRAKES WOULD BECOME ROCK HARD AND I WOULD HAVE TO PUSH AS HARD AS I COULD AND HOPE IT WOULD STOP. IT WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE AND A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. ON ONE OCCASION I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP AND ROLLED INTO THE ROAD. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR LESS THAN 48 HOURS BEFORE. I WAS INFORMED IT WAS DUE TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER BEING BAD. FORD IS REPAIRING THIS.

Mileage: 81,000

I HAVE A 2012 FORD EDGE THAT HAS HAD MAJOR BRAKE FAILURE HAPPEN. OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS WHILE BRAKING FOR A STOP LIGHT THE BRAKE PEDAL DROPS TO THE FLOOR, AND BARELY AVOIDED REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT, AND THEN SEEMINGLY WORKS FINE AGAIN AFTERWARDS, MAKING ME QUESTION MYSELF AS TO HOW BIG OF AN ISSUE IT HAD. YESTERDAY IT COMPLETELY FAILED AND TURNING OFF INTERSTATE AT AN OFF RAMP (GOING 70MPH!) I NEARLY REAR ENDED THE SEMI IN FRONT OF US AT THE STOP SIGN!! MY 8 MONTH PREGNANT WIFE WAS IN THE FRONT SEAT WITH ME AND MY TWO DOGS IN THE BACK SEAT! WE WERE WITHIN INCHES OF THE SEMI BUMPER DECAPITATING US! I VERY SLOWLY MADE IT TO A PARKING LOT ACROSS THE STREET WITH USE OF PARKING BRAKE, AND HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME. ONCE HOME IN MY DROVEWAY THE BRAKES SEEM TO WORK. SO I SEARCH THE WEB TO HAVE AN IDEA IF THIS IS A VEHICLE SPECIFIC PROBLEM BEFORE GOING TO MECHANIC..WHOAH! THERE ARE MORE COMPLAINTS IDENTICAL TO MINE THAN I CAN COUNT! FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS LIFE THREATENING DEFECT. I HAVE READ CONSTANTLY IT IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER OR MASTER CYLINDER, BUT THAT REPLACING WITH NEW FORD OEM PART ONLY GIVES THEM A FEW MONTHS OR YEARS BEFORE IT TOO FAILS! I CANNOT GAMBLE MY FAMILY'S LIVES ON A DEFECTIVE FORD PART. I HAVE FORD VEHICLES FROM THE 80S AND NONE HAVE EVER HAD CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURES WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS CERTAINLY A MODEL SPECIFIC DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED. I AM RELUCTANT TO TRADE OFF THE VEHICLE AFTER I HAVE IT REPAIRED AND PASS THE PROBLEM ON TO SOMEONE ELSES FAMILY, BUT I DON'T WANT TO REPAIR IT, AND HAVE MY FAMILY RELYING ON A TICKING TIME BOMB FOR THE NEXT TIME IT FAILS TO STOP. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR FORD TO HAVE A FLEET OF EDGES ON THE ROAD ALL WAITING TO ENDANGER INNOCENT LIVES WHEN THEY SMASH INTO A CAR, BUILDING, OR CEMENT BARRIER. PLEASE FORCE FORD TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, RECALL EVERY CAR WITH THE DEFECT, AND SAVE LIVES.

BRAKE BOOSTER HAS GONE OUT THREE TIMES RESULTING IN LOSS OF STOPPING POWER. PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR AND VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP PROPERLY. FORD HAS 13N02 CAMPAIGN, BUT IT ONLY COVERS IT ONE TIME. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THE NHTSA MUST GET INVOLVED.

WHY ISN'T THERE AR ECAL WHEN THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE! IT'S NOT A MATTER OF IF, BUT WHEN, THIS WILL BE A SERIOUS MULTI-CASUALTY ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

BRAKE CONCERN - THE BRAKES ON MY 2012 FORD EDGE ARE VERY SPONGY, YOU MUST DEPRESS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO STOP. I SEE THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED ONCE UNDER A OWNER NOTIFICATION PROGRAM WHICH TECHNICALLY ISN'T A RECALL BUT IT IS SOMETHING FORD PROVIDES AS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ACTION. I FEEL THE CONCERN IS RELATED TO THE ORIGINAL PROGRAM BUT THE BRAKING CONCERN IS STILL PRESENT AND I AM CONCERNED THAT SOMETHING BIGGER MAY BE GOING ON. I AM PLEADING FOR ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THIS RESOLVED BECAUSE IT WOULD BE COSTLY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE FOR ME CONSIDERING IT IS A KNOWN CONCERN WITHIN FORD.

THE 2010-2013 FORD EDGE HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER, HOWEVER, AFTER TWO REPLACEMENTS OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER ALONE, I AM CONTINUING TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES. THE TIME FOR MY VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP HAS TRIPLED, IF NOT MORE. I HAD THE INITIAL REPLACEMENT DONE AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES AND AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AT 82,000. THE BRAKES FEEL SPONGY AND WHILE THEY DO NOT COMPLETELY FAIL, THE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND STOPPING TIME IS SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASED. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS IN ALL CONDITIONS.

I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH BRAKE SYSTEM SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. REPLACED BRAKE PADS SEVERAL TIMES. LAST WEEK, NOTICED PUSHING BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO STOP, TOOK IN TO THE MECHANIC THAT I USE-THE ENTIRE MASTER CYLINDER WAS BLOWN OUT THE BACK WITH BRAKE FLUID JUST POURING OUT. HE REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER (FROM FORD PARTS STORE) AND ALSO FRONT AND BACK BRAKES. WHEN I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE, ITS STILL NOT CORRECTED. BRAKE PEDAL IS STILL "LOOSE" ALMOST GOING TO THE FLOOR AS IT WAS AND NOW IT HAS HISSING NOISE AND SPONGE PEDAL. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP, STATES THAT IS A BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUE.TO CALL AND CHECK RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR VIN #. I CALLED FORD MOTOR CO AT 1-800-392-3673 AND VERIFIED NO RECALL ON MY SPECIF VIN #, BUT MANY FORD EDGE 2012 HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY REFERRED ME TO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TO GIVE THIS SAFETY COMPLAINT. I';M VERY UPSET THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY FORD EDGE AND NOTHING IS BEING OFFERED TO ME THROUGH FORD TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. THIS WOULD BE WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OBVIOUSLY....

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL HISSING NOISE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (SLOAN-FORD LINCOLN MERCURY INC, 115 S JAMES CAMPBELL BLVD, COLUMBIA, TN 38401). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA.

BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED NEARLY KILLING US IN DEC 2015 AS WE ROLLED INTO AN INTERSECTION. LUCKILY NOBODY HIT US. REPAIRED JAN 2016 UNDER CUST SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N02 BY FORD, LIKELY TO AVOID A REAL RECALL. REPLACEMENT BOOSTER HAS NOW FAILED ALMOST CAUSING ANOTHER ACCIDENT AFTER A YEAR AND 1/2 AND 15K MILES AS WIFE HAD TO RUN OFF ROAD TO AVOID STOPPED TRAFFIC BECAUSE SHE HAD NO BRAKES. WHY HAS NHTSA NOT FORCED A RECALL? IT IS LITERALLY IS A SITUATION WHERE THOUSANDS OF THESE CARS ARE ROLLING AROUND WITH ADULTS AND YOUNG DRIVERS NOT KNOWING THAT AT SOME POINT THEY'LL NEED TO STOP AND THEY WILL HAVE ZERO BRAKES. IS ANYBODY READING THESE? YES IF YOU PUSH TO THE FLOOR HARD AND HOLD IT TIGHT IT WILL EVENTUALLY STOP AS A CRUDE MANUAL BRAKE. KIDS HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A CAR WITHOUT POWER BRAKES! THE REST OF US AREN'T EXPECTING IT SINCE NO WARNING SIGNS. FORD IS SIMPLY INSTALLING THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART ENDANGERING LIVES. WHAT DO WE DO, SELL THE CAR AND PUT SOMEONE ELSE AT RISK SINCE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE THE SAME FAULTY CRAP?

WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT ON 6/26/17, MY BRAKES FAILED - WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I KEPT GOING - SLOWLY SINCE I WAS TURNING. DEALERSHIP SENT A WRECKER BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER THAT HAD FAILED. I HAD JUST HAD NEW REAR BRAKES PUT ON 5/16/17 AND WENT BACK BECAUSE OF CLUNKING NOISE WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE ON 6/1/17. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER 2012 FORD EDGES AND WANTED YOU TO ADD MY VEHICLE TO THE LIST. COULD HAVE BEEN REALLY BAD IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING FAST AND FASTER AND SUDDENLY NEEDED TO STOP!

IN SEPTEMBER 2017, I WAS PULLING INTO A BANK WITH MY 2012 FORD EDGE. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I TRIED REAPPLYING THEM BUT ONCE AGAIN HAD ALMOST NO BRAKING POWER TO STOP. AFTER COMING TO A STOP WITH THE PARKING BRAKE I TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON. STILL NO BRAKE PRESSURE, BUT A WHISTLE SORT OF SQUEAK WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE. I CONTACTED HUB CITY FORD IN LAFAYETTE, LA AND BROUGHT IT IN FOR REPAIRS (SEPT 11). THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH THEY AGREED WAS THE PROBLEM, AND THEY REPLACED. REPLACING THE BOOSTER DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE, AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE NO SYMPTOMS INDICATING AN ISSUE (NO ENGINE LIGHT, NO LEAKS, NO GRADUAL LOSS IN PRESSURE). THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, THEN CALLED TO TELL ME THERE IS STILL NO BRAKE PRESSURE. NOW THEY ARE SAYING THE HCU NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND IT WILL COST $1200. THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT THIS WAS GOING OUT, AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE, DOESN'T SHOW UP ON ANY TYPE OF DIAGNOSTICS. I CONTACTED FORD, AND THEY CREATED A CASE (CAS-13144337) BUT WOULD NOT TELL ME IF THERE WERE OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. BY CHECKING ONLINE, I SEE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES TO MANY CAR OWNERS WITH NO WARNING. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT OFTENTIMES THEY REPLACE THE POWER BOOSTER (RECALL ISSUE) AND ULTIMATELY END UP REPLACING OTHER COMPONENTS THAT ARE THE REAL PROBLEM. THE REPLACED BOOSTERS ARE BEING REPORTED BACK TO FORD, BUT MAYBE THE OTHER COMPONENTS ARE NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT UNDER RECALL (BUT CLEARLY SHOULD BE).

I COULD BARELY STOP THE CAR. I WAS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND THERE WAS NO FORD DEALER IN THAT TOWN. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THEY SAID I SHOULD NOT DRIVE OVER A MOUNTAIN PASS.

THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE PEDAL FELT HARD AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL. IT CAME TO A STOP ON MY LAWN. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY FORD DEALER AND THEY IMMEDIATELY KNEW IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER. IF I HAD BEEN IN TRAFFIC I MIGHT HAVE HAD A COLLISION OR WORSE. I DROVE IN MY DRIVEWAY AND HIT THE BRAKES VERY HARD AND AFTER THREE PANIC STOPS THEY SEEMED TO WORK. I PUT THE CAR AWAY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED THE NEXT DAY. I DID THREE PANIC STOPS AND THE BRAKES BEGAN TO WORK. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BOUCHER FORD WHERE THE SERVICE WRITER NEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AS SOON AS I TOLD HER WHAT HAD HAPPENED. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL? MY CAR HAD NON-FUNCTIONING BRAKES! IF THERE WAS A RECALL I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND HAVE NOT CHANGED MY ADDRESS SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SERVICED MY CAR SINCE NEW AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP.

OCCASIONALLY WHEN BRAKING (WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION), THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY SOFT AND IT FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE NO BRAKES FOR THE FIRST 3/4 OF THE PEDAL. EVENTUALLY YOU CAN SLOW DOWN AND COME TO A STOP BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU GIVE YOURSELF A LOT OF ROOM AS IT TAKES A GREATER AMOUNT OF TIME TO STOP THE VEHICLE THAN NORMAL. THIS FAILURE IS SPORADIC BUT HAS OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS - ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS RAINING WHICH IS EVEN SCARIER AS YOU DEFINITELY WANT SOLID BRAKES WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN. BUT, IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON COMPLETELY DRY DAYS. WHEN THE CAR IS ON AND IN PARK, AND YOU PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL YOU ALSO HEAR A "THUD" SOUND, AND CAN FEEL A VIBRATION IN THE GEAR SHIFT. WE HAVE BROUGHT THIS PROBLEM TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY CONTINUE TO TELL US NOTHING IS WRONG, BUT IT APPEARS FROM READING OTHERS' POSTS THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAS FAILED. WE ARE TAKING IT IN ONE MORE TIME TOMORROW AND WILL PUSH FOR RESOLUTION, BUT THIS REALLY FEELS LIKE SOMETHING FORD SHOULD ADDRESS AS A RECALL AS IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

Mileage: 70,000

THE BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, IT TAKES SEVERAL FEET BEFORE THE CAR WILL STOP. IF I WERE TO HAVE AN EMERGENCY, I COULDN'T STOP IN TIME TO AVOID IT. THIS OCCURS WHEN I AM DRIVING AND ATTEMPT TO STOP WHETHER I AM DRIVING FORWARD OR BACKING UP.

IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE RIGHT AND HOPPED INTO A DITCH AND CRASH INTO A TREE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A LEFT HAND AND CHEST INJURIES THAT NEEDED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOWING YARD.

I WOULD HAVE TO PAY AND THE QUOTE IS APPROACHING $800 + TO FIX THE CONCERN. MY VEHICLE HAS THE SPONGY BRAKE AS DETAILED ALONG WITH THE HISSING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE PRESSED. I HAVE TO PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

SOMETIMES WHEN THE ABS ACTIVATES THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY SOFT, YOU CAN STILL STOP BUT YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE BRAKING FOR THE FIRST 3/4 OF THE PEDAL. I HAVE FIGURED OUT THAT I CAN REST THE ABS CONTROL MODULE BY GOING IN TO THE CAR WASH AND ACTIVATING THE ABS A FEW TIMES. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS THE HCU AND I COULD HAVE ONE PUT IN BUT THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A DESIGN FAILURE AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. ITS ONLY HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN DRIVING DURING ICY CONDITIONS BUT IT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKE BOOSTER - POSSIBLE 13N02 BRAKE BOOSTER FSA - THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF. I CALLED THE FORD DEALER TO DIAGNOSE A BRAKE ISSUE AND A WEEK LATER THEY GOT ME IN AND THEN CASUALLY TOLD ME THEY REPLACED MY BRAKE BOOSTER AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE IT WAS PART OF A RECALL. I JUST SIGNED UP ON NHSTA WEBSITES TO BE BETTER INFORMED.

WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR BUT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. MAY DRIVE 6 WEEKS BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. FORD HAS EXTENDED RECALL ON POWER BOOSTER. DEALER REPLACED BOOSTER SAYS THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. DROVE VEHICLE ANOTHER THREE WEEKS AND PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AGAIN STILL WHILE DRIVING SLOW OR COMING DOWN A HILL PRESSING BRAKES SLIGHTLY. REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER BUT NO CHANGE. SCARED TO DRIVE VEHICLE. NEVER KNOW WHEN THE BRAKES ARE GOING TO ACT UP. *TR

I HAVE HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER WORKED ON SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT MY NEW 2012 EDGE BRAND NEW.. I NOTICED THIS WEEK THAT THE BRAKE DOESN'T DEPRESS WHEN STARTING UNTIL AFTER IT STARTS.. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM BRAKING WHEN DRIVING. *TR

BRAKES MADE A HISSING SOUND WHEN PRESSED AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WHEN PRESSED. WHEN BACKING UP THERE WERE HARDLY ANY BRAKES AVAILABLE TO STOP. TOOK IT INTO A MECHANIC AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS IS NOT SIMPLY REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS BUT THIS IS A MECHANICAL ISSUE ON A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING AND WENT TO STOP BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. BRAKE BOOSTER HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IT STILL HAS ISSUES. SOMETIMES THE BRAKES WORK AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. THE FORD DEALERSHIP IS NO HELP. THEY SAID MY BRAKES ARE FINE. THEY ARE NOT FINE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO.

FSA 13N02 BRAKE BOOSTER EXTENDED WARRANTY. MY FIRST COMPLAINT IS THAT THIS FSA IS NOT A "SAFETY RECALL" BUT CLASSIFIED AS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ACTION IF SOMEONE COMPLAINS ABOUT THEIR BRAKES. I WAS PULLING OUT ONTO A VERY BUSY STREET AND SECONDS AWAY FROM GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY BRAKES FAILED, I COULD NOT STOP. MY VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR A DIFFERENT PROBLEM AND SUPPOSEDLY BRAKES INSPECTED AS A "SERVICE TO ME" THE DAY BEFORE THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. MY 1ST QUESTION IS WHY WAS I NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD AND 2ND WHY DOESN'T FORD CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS VERY LUCKY NOTHING HAPPENED TO ME, AS I WAS ON MY WAY OUT OF TOWN FOR A TRIP. I FIND THIS VERY IRRESPONSIBLE ON FORD'S PART AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. I AM VERY SERIOUSLY LOOKING AT A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER TO MAKE MY NEXT CAR.

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ALARM ALWAYS GOES OFF. CONSTANT DINGING, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 1 BATTERY ALREADY. DRIVING AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY IN REVERSE, IS TERRIBLY DIFFICULT WITH THE LIGHTS ON. THE DOOR IS SECURELY SHUT, HOWEVER, THAT DOES NOT STOP THE ALARM. THE OTHER ISSUE I'VE HAD IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE BRAKES SO GOT THOSE FIXED AND THEN STOPPING WAS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. I HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL ENTIRELY TO THE FLOOR TO COME TO A SLOW STOP. SHOULD I HAVE HAD TO COME TO A QUICK STOP, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE. MY HUSBAND DID SOME RESEARCH TO SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM SO WE WENT TO GET IT REPAIRED. HOWEVER, IT WAS COSTLY AND COULD HAVE BEEN A TOTAL DISASTER. THE CAR WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME.

WHILE LEAVING THE PARKING LOT AT WORK MY WIFE'S BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING, SHE WAS LUCKY NO CARS WERE COMING OR SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. SCARY CONSIDERING MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER RIDE IN THIS CAR EVERYDAY, AND WE TOOK IT ON VACATION TO COLORADO, JUST GLAD THE BRAKE DIDNT FAIL IN THE MOUNTAINS. IT WAS REALLY JUST LUCK, CANT BELIEVE THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A MANDATORY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM.

I PURCHASED MY LOW MILEAGE EDGE FROM LOCAL FORD DEALER. EXPERIENCING PERIODIC ISSUE WITH CAR TRANSMISSION LAG OR JERKING WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP, AS AT A STOP SIGN OR PULLING OUT OF PARKING LOTS. TOOK TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE ISSUE, NO CODES. MORE RECENTLY THE BACKUP CAMERA HAS INTERMITTENTLY FAILED. NO BACKUP GUIDELINES ARE PRESENT, SOMETIMES BACKUP CAMERA IS VISIBLE, THEN GOES BLACK, OTHER TIMES DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. NOW MY BRAKES ARE GIVING ME ISSUES. THE PEDAL WILL EITHER BE VERY HARD TO PRESS, AS IN LOSING POWER BRAKING WHEN A VEHICLE DIES. THEN THE PEDAL MAY GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. DID EXPERIENCE SOMETHING SIMILAR WHILE IN FAST FOOD DRIVE THRU, FOOT ON BRAKE, THEN BRAKE LOSING PRESSURE AND PEDAL DEPRESSING TO FLOOR. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THEN THE "SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK: LIGHT CAME ON BRIEFLY. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND ONCE I MAKE A LIST OF ALL OF THE SERVICE BULLETINS IT'S GOING TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. LAST TIME I WENT THE IDIOT AT THE SERVICE COUNTER PUT THAT I SAID THE VEHICLE "STALLED". NEVER DID I SAY THAT HAPPENED. I SAID THERE WAS A LAG IN ACCELERATION AND THE FEELING LIKE A TRANSMISSION JERKING INTO GEAR. PIECE OF JUNK FORD, DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING BUYING IT. ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, AMAZING THERE AREN'T MORE ACCIDENTS. SHAME ON YOU FORD! YOU USED TO MAKE QUALITY PRODUCTS.

I WAS HAVING TO PRESS A LITTLE HARDER THAN USUAL. IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I HAD TO MASH DOWN HARD TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. I CHECKED BRAKE FLUID, BUT RESERVOIR WAS FULL. I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK HOME SAFELY BUT I DID HAVE SOME CLOSE CALLS WHEN HAVING TO BRAKE DUE TO FACT THAT IT WAS TAKING LONGER DISTANCE TO STOP.

BRAKES FUNCTIONED PERFECTLY PRIOR TO DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL IN TRAFFIC (ON A MAJOR CITY STREET WITH THE VEHICLE MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH) AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. THE PEDAL WAS DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS, BUT WITH EXTREME PRESSURE, COULD BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, RESULTING IN A WHISTLE OR BEEP SOUND. THE VEHICLE BECAME (AND REMAINS ALMOST 24 HOURS LATER) UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT CANNOT BE STOPPED WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE. INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES THIS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2012 FORD EDGE BRAKE SYSTEM, AND REFERENCES PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE BOOSTER. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY-RELATED RECALL MANDATED FOR THIS VEHICLE, GIVEN THE PROPENSITY FOR SUDDENLY FAILED BRAKES TO CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES.

WHEN I PLACE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO START THE CAR, AND I LEAVE MY FOOT ON BRAKE PADDLE THERE IS A HUMMING NOISE THAT HAPPENS, THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I PLACE CAR IN REVERSE AND LEAVE MY FOOT ON BRAKE. ALSO THERE HAS BEEN TWO TIMES WHEN I WAS STOPPING THE CAR THAT THE BRAKE PADDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WAS NOT STOPPING. ONCE WHEN I WAS DRIVING ACROSS A PARKING LOT AND STOPPING TO WAIT TO PULL OUT AND ONCE WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. BOTH OF THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED ON THE SAME DAY.

BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED WITH NO PRIOR WARNING. SITTING AT STOP LIGHT, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND CAR LUNDGED FORWARD INTO INTERSECTION. LUCKILY WE WERE NOT HIT. CONTACTED FORD DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME IT IS "VERY" COMMON FAILURE AND IT WAS COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY NEGOTIATED BY FORD TO PREVENT A RECALL? I SEE FORD WHO WON THAT NEGOTIATION.. IT IS NICE THAT THIS WON'T COST ME ANY MONEY BUT IT HAS OR WILL SURELY COST SOMEONE THEIR LIFE(S). UNBELIEVABLE THAT THE DEALER, NHTSA AND FORD KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND NO NOTICE IS SENT TO TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES DRIVING KIDS AROUND IN DEATH TRAPS? IF THAT IS THE BEST YOU CAN NEGOTIATE AT NHTSA, GIVEN A CHOICE I'D RATHER HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE RATHER THAN HAVE FORD PAY FOR THE REPAIR. AT LEAST FAMILIES COULD MAKE THE WISE DECISION NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR. WHY DO WE HAVE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES IF THIS IS ALLOWED? I SEE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE WEB AND NO RECALL??? NO NOTICE?? HOW MANY OTHER TIMEBOMBS HAVE BEEN SUCESSFULLY NEGOTIATED TO REMAIN ON OUR ROADS PUTTING FAMILIES AT RISK BY MANUFACTURERS?

THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS COMING DOWN THE STREET AT THE TIME. I'M CERTAIN THIS IS A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING FLAW. IT WAS SIMILAR TO THE TIME I BROKE A BRAKE LINE AND ONLY HAD THE REAR DRUM BRAKES WORKING AND HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP.

THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

BRAKES DID NOT INITIALLY RESPOND WHEN BACKING UP. BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AND TOOK TREMENDOUS FORCE TO EVEN BEGIN TO SLOW VEHICLE. SAME OCCURRENCE WHEN MOVING FORWARD AT SLOW SPEED. AT FASTER SPEED, BRAKES WERE VERY GRABBY AND INCONSISTENT. IMMEDIATELY CONCERNED FOR SAFETY AND TOOK TO FORD DEALERSHIP. SERVICE TECH. KNEW IMMEDIATELY WHAT ISSUE WAS JUST BY DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS. INFORMED ME CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THAT REPAIR WOULD BE COVERED BY FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N02 TO REPLACE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS SEEMS LIKE A RECALL SITUATION AS EVIDENCED BY MANY OTHER ACCOUNTS OF THIS BRAKE FAILURE BY ME AND MANY OTHERS. I WAS JUST FORTUNATE IT DIDN'T OCCUR ON HIGHWAY THE DAY BEFORE.

WHEN DRIVING MY EDGE THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS OF UPSTATE NEW YORK, I WENT TO SLOW DOWN GOING DOWN A MOUNTAINOUS ROAD. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOT VERY HARD TO PUSH, AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO SLOW DOWN PROPERLY. ALSO NOTICED A HISSING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED. CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AT THE FIRST AVAILABLE EXIT AND NOTICED THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS 1/2 EMPTY. PURCHASED NEW FLUID AND INSTALLED THE NEEDED AMOUNT IN THE MASTER CYLINDER. THE REMAINDER OF THE 1400 MILE TRIP THE MASTER CYLINDER DID NOT SHOW ANY LOSS OF FLUID, BUT THE BRAKES ARE STILL NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. GOT HOME AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL LINCOLN/ FORD DEALERSHIP, AS I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW. THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER UNDER THE EXTENDED BRAKE WARRANTY, AND SAID THE VEHICLE WAS READY TO GO. I TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THE BRAKES STILL NOT PROPERLY FUNCTIONING. STILL VERY LOW BRAKE PEDAL, AND SOFT ALSO WHILE STOPPED AT LIGHT THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AREA. AND THEY TEST DROVE THE CAR THEY SAID. IMMEDIATELY WENT BACK TO DEALER AND LEFT THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID THEY WILL ASK FORD IF THEY WILL APPROVE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FOR REPLACEMENT. VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER AS OF TODAY AUGUST 4, 2015. VEHICLE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, COLLISION IS A VERY HIGH RISK WITH THE VEHICLE AS IT NOW IS. LEFT THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER AS STATED BEFORE AND WILL NOT PICKUP THE VEHICLE UNTIL PROPERLY REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. LOOSING FAITH IN FORD AT THIS TIME, WHAT OTHER ISSUES WILL OCCUR IN THE FUTURE?

DURING NORMAL DRIVING HITTING THE BREAK, THE PEDAL FEELS HARD AND THE VEHICLE DOESN'T WANT TO STOP. IT JUST KEEPS MOVING FOREWORD. I HAVE TO PUSH HARDER ON THE BREAK PEDAL TO GET THE BREAKS TO CATCH AND STOP THE VEHICLE . I'M THINKING CHECK VALVE OR BOOSTER.

6-2-2015: I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN. I STEPPED ON BRAKES AND WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE. I WENT THRU THE STOP SIGN ON MAJOR ROADWAY AT 30 MPH. I WAS HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC TRAVELING AT 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND 3 PEOPLE, MYSELF INCLUDED, WERE INJURED. I OWNED THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 2 MONTHS. MY FIRST FORD IN YEARS. FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT A BRAKE BOOSTER PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND HAS NOT RECALLED THE VEHICLE. FORD'S FIX IS TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THE EDGE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SALVAGED. I TALKED WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS TOO BAD FOR YOU. I WANTED THE BRAKE BOOSTER CHECKED OUT. FORD SHOULD BE RECALLING ALL THE EFFECTED VEHICLES NOW, BEFORE SOMEBODY IS KILLED. THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 50 COMPLAINTS FILED WITH NHTSA SINCE 2012.

REPLACED THE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER UNDER WARRANTY. JULY 2014 - BRAKE PROBLEM INTERMITTENTLY RECURS. BRAKE PEDAL SOMETIMES GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED. FORD DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM. JULY 2015 - AT CAR START, BRAKE IS VERY FIRM THEN SLOWLY GOES ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. THIS OCCURS ABOUT EVERY OTHER TIME THE CAR IS STARTED.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN BY OUR LOCAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THE BRAKES FELT LIKE THEY WERE NOT WORKING AND THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO STOP! THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET IT TO STOP WAS TO PUSH VERY HARD. THANK THE GOOD LORD THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TO STOP ON A DIME FOR A CHILD WALKING ACROSS THE SCHOOL! THE BRAKES ARE STILL THAT WAY TODAY AND IT IS NOT SAFE AT ALL TO DRIVE. WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL SHOP TO VERIFY THAT THE BRAKES PADS WERE OK, WHICH THEY WERE. WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR OUR LOCAL FORD SHOP. AFTER REVIEWING MANY COMPLAINTS, IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, (BRAKE BOOSTER) AND FORD NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ON THIS. WE HAVE ALREADY SPEND $75 HAVING THE SHOP LOOK AT THE BRAKE PADS, AND NOW IT WILL PROBABLY COST US ANOTHER $300-$400, WHICH IS NOT RIGHT FOR A VEHICLE THAT HAS LESS THAN 45,000 MILES ON IT AND IS A 2012. NHTSA NEEDS TO CONTACT FORD AND MAKE THEM RECALL THIS, AS IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE ARE SO MANY OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEONE CAN BE KILLED OVER THIS!

NOTICED WHILE DRIVING THAT THE BRAKES FELT AND SOUNDED DIFFERENT THEN THEY HAD - ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKES SOUNDED AS THOUGH THEY WERE RELEASING AIR AND THE PEDAL WAS EITHER HARD TO PRESS DOWN OR WAS TOO EASILY COMPRESSED - GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. HAD AN APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE AND ASKED THAT FORD CHECK THE BRAKES. THEY CHECKED THEM AND REPORTED BACK TO ME THAT THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH THE BOOSTER (AS THEY HAD EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER CARS) BUT THAT SAFETY WISE THE VEHICLE WAS FINE. CONTINUED TO DRIVE THAT FOLLOWING WEEK ONLY TO FIND THAT ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT PRESSING DOWN AS HARD AS POSSIBLE ON THE BRAKES. LUCKILY MY SPEED WHILE EXPERIENCING THIS MALFUNCTION WAS LOW ENOUGH THAT THE VEHICLE STOPPED. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FOUND THAT SEVERAL OTHER FOLKS HAD THIS SAME ISSUE - I'M BEYOND FRUSTRATED TO KNOW THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THE SAFETY FACTORS INVOLVED AND THAT THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL!!

ALMOST RAN MY 2012 EDGE INTO THE BACK OF AN 18 WHEELER TODAY WITH MY SON IN THE CAR WHEN MY BRAKES FAILED! I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO EXPRESS OIL SINCE THE SERVICE DEPT AT THE DEALERSHIP HAD ALREADY CLOSED FOR THE DAY. THEY SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER CAUSING THE ISSUE. SINCE IT SHOULD STILL BE UNDER WARRANTY I ELECTED TO TAKE IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP FIRST THING MONDAY AM. ONE OF THE GUYS FOLLOWED ME HOME TO ENSURE WE MADE IT SAFELY. MY CAR STALLED 3 TIMES IN A 10 MILE RADIUS, AGAIN 3 MORE TIMES THAT I COULD'VE BEEN THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT! I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AND IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING SUCH ISSUES AT ALMOST 3 YEARS OLD WITH 57K MILES ON IT! I HAVE DONE A WEB SEARCH AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE! WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL? THIS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT COULD'VE EASILY COST US OUR LIVES AND POSSIBLY OTHERS TODAY IF I HAD NOT HAD THE SPACE TO SWERVE TO AVOID COLLISION! FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS THE BRAKES HAVE NOT FELT "RIGHT", THEY FELT "AIRY" AND RECENTLY BEGAN MAKING A HIGH PITCHED SQUEALING/HISSING SOUND. THEY WOULD GO FROM BEING VERY STIFF TO SINKING RIGHT INTO THE FLOOR. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAD TO STOMP ON THE BRAKES TO GET THE CAR TO STOP.

THIS SOUND WHEN THE PEDAL WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WOULD SOUND LIKE THE AIR BEING LET OUT OF A BALOON. SOMETIMES YOU WOULD HAVE TO PUMP ON THE BRAKE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. WHEN I TOLD THIS TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR HE ACTUALLY LAUGHED AT ME. APROXIMATELY 2 HOURS LATER I WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS READY. I WAS LIKE GREAT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY BRAKES? HE STATED "IT IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP AND IT IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER, WE HAVE NO IDEA OF HOW LONG IT IS GOING TO BE. IT MAY BE A MONTH AND IT MAY BE 6 MONTHS." THIS IS PUTTING MY LIFE IN JEAPORDY HAVING TO DRIVE A CAR WITH FAULTY BRAKES. *TR

BRAKES STARTED BECOMING DIFFICULT TO APPLY REGARDLESS OF SPEED, ETC. MOST OFTEN MOST DIFFICULT TO APPLY AFTER THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE BOOSTER. SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ATTEMPTED TO BACK THE CAR OUT OF THE SERVICE BAY THE BOOSTER FAILED. COULDN'T STOP THE CAR SO HE PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT LUNGED FORWARD AND HIT A CAR LIFT, CREASING THE FRONT BUMPER, BEFORE IT STOPPED. ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE BOOSTER AND THE DEALER SAID IT "FAILED" IN THE BOX. NUMBER THREE BOOSTER WAS INSTALLED AND IT FAILED. MASTER CYLINDER ALSO FAILED. THE DEALER CLAIMS THE NEW MASTER CYLINDER AND THE FOURTH BOOSTER IS WORKING FINE. CAR IN THE BODY SHOP GETTING THE FRONT BUMPER REPAIRED. FORD REGIONAL CUSTOMER CARE REPRESENTATIVE WAS TO CALL ME AND THREE DAYS HAVE PASSED WITHOUT ANY RESPONSE. NO ONE CARE TELL ME FORD HAS CORRECTED ANYTHING. ALL THEY ARE DOING IS THROWING PARTS WITH AN ATTEMPT IT WILL FIX ITSELF. *TR

PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPACE AND NOTICED BRAKES FELT DIFFERENT. NOT DEPRESSING TO NORMAL AMOUNT. PULLED FORWARD AND WHEN COMING TO STOP SIGN AGAIN NOTICED THE DIFFERENCE IN THE BRAKE PEDAL MOVEMENT BUT NOW ALSO THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP AS QUICKLY AS IT USED.TO. IT SLOWED BUT WAS NEVER ABLE TO GET IT TO A COMPLETE STOP, SEEMED LIKE IT COASTED TO A STOP. AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES BRAKES RETURNED TO NORMAL. NEXT DAY EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING EXCEPT NOW THE VEHICLE DOES NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT COASTS TO A STOP AT ALL TIMES NOW. ALSO HAVE TO PUT EXTREME PRESSURE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN, MUCH LESS STOP THE CAR. RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS MANY OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. WILL BE TAKING VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP ON NEXT DAY OFF. *TR

BRAKES WERE REALLY HARD TO PRESS TO GET CAR TO STOP. FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE INCREASED. KEY INCIDENT WAS DIFFICULTY STOPPING AT STOP SIGN WHEN A FAMILY WAS CROSSING STREET IN FRONT OF ME. HAD TO PRESS REALLY HARD ON BRAKES TO STOP. BROUGHT INTO DEALER ON 8/19/2014. TOLD ME IT WAS ISSUE WITH BOOSTER AND PART IS ON BACK ORDER, SO HAD TO GIVE ME A RENTAL CAR FOR 2-3 WEEKS (HAD PREMIUM WARRANTY SERVICE). BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PROBLEMS I SEE ON THIS SITE, WHEN IS FORD GOING TO ISSUE A RECALL? WE ARE TALKING BRAKES!!!!!!! DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE OR BE INJURED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE? *TR

THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BRAKES FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

APPLIED THE BRAKES AND I WAS NOT STOPPING THE VEHICLE. I HEARD A HISSING NOISE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY STIFF BUT I WAS UNABLE TO APPLY ENOUGH PEDAL FORCE TO ACTUATE THE BRAKES. I THEN PUMPED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL ALMOST WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE BRAKES APPLIED BUT WAY TOO MUCH AND THE CAR CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER. DEALER DROVE CAR AND DETERMINED IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. FORD REGIONAL SAID THERE WAS A PROGRAM FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND THAT ACCORDING TO THE FORD TECH TEAM THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL A REPAIR PART COULD BE LOCATED. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK. BOTH I AND THE DEALER SERVICE STAFF AGREE THAT THERE IS A MAJOR ISSUE INVOLVING THE BRAKE BOOSTER MAKING THE CAR UNSAFE. CAR HAS BEEN AT DEALER SINCE 7/31/14. NO PARTS AVAILABLE AND CAR IS UNDRIVABLE. HOW THIS CAR PASSED FMVSS 135 AND 136 IS BEYOND ME. *TR

JULY 31, 2014 - I RAN A RED LIGHT WHEN THE BRAKES ON MY 2012 EDGE FAILED. IT FELT AS IF THERE WAS ZERO PRESSURE & THE BRAKE PEDAL SUNK ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. AFTER PUMPING THEM, OR REALLY "STANDING" ON THE PEDAL, THE CAR FINALLY SLOWED DOWN. AFTER THIS INCIDENT, THERE WAS AN AUDIBLE "HISS" WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. I HAD NOTICED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS PRIOR TO JULY 31ST, MY BRAKES FELT "DIFFERENT". WHEN PRESSURE APPLIED FOR PUSH BUTTON START, THEY FELT VERY STIFF. AT OTHER TIMES, WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO SLOW OR STOP COMPLETELY, CONSIDERABLY MORE PRESSURE WAS NECESSARY THAN HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADEQUATE. THE NEXT DAY (AUGUST 1ST), OUR LOCAL FORD SERVICE CENTER CONFIRMED THAT MY MODEL WAS UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER. HOWEVER, THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER & THERE IS NO ETA FOR A NEW PART. I EXPECT MY CAR TO BE THERE SEVERAL WEEKS, IF NOT MONTHS. WHY IS THIS ITEM NOT A NATIONAL RECALL?! THIS IS A SERIOUS, KNOWN, ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2012 EDGE SEL USED FROM A FORD DEALER WITH 28,900 MILES ON IT IN JUNE. WHILE ON VACATION WITH THE FAMILY THIS MONTH (JULY) WAS BACKING VEHICLE UP AND WHEN I APPLIED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE, THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP BUT ONLY SLOWED. I THEN HAD TO STOMP ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND AVOID HITTING A PARKED CAR BEHIND ME. THE ISSUE GOT WORSE OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, SO I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER WHO TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A BAD BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY INSTALLED A "NEW" ONE UNDER CSP 13N02 AND SAID IT WAS "GOOD-TO-GO". DID NOT EVEN GET OFF THE LOT WHEN I NOTICED THERE WAS STILL THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. DROVE IT BACK INTO THE SERVICE AREA CAREFULLY. FORD TECH SAID THE NEW BRAKE BOOSTER THEY PUT ON WAS BAD AS WELL! REALLY? IS ANYONE FROM FORD DOING AUDITS ON THAT VENDOR??? SO NOW I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL AUGUST 15TH WHICH IS THE ESTIMATED DATE OF REPAIR COMPLETION AS THE "NEW" BRAKE BOOSTER IS ON BACK ORDER NATION WIDE. MY CAR WILL NOW BE SITTING ON THE FORD LOT ALMOST AS LONG AS IT WAS SITTING IN MY GARAGE. THIS IS AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SUCH. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 55 MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR WITH MINIMAL SLOWING OF CAR. IF I REALLY NEEDED TO STOP THE CAR I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO CONTROL CAR. WENT TO DEALER AND THEY STATED THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH FORD EDGE WITH THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP FAILING. THIS HAZARD COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENT FOR ME HAD IT FAILED WHEN I NEEDED A IMMEDIATE STOP TO CAR. I SENT FORD THIS SAME FEEDBACK TODAY VIA THE FORD SERVICE FEEDBACK FORM. MY CAR IS SITTING IN THE SHOP FOR MULTIPLE WEEKS SINCE THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. THIS TELLS ME THIS ISSUE IS A TREND IN THE CAR MODEL AND MORE PROACTIVE ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN BY FORD. MAKES ME VERY CONCERNED HOW CLOSE I WAS TO A POSSIBLE SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENT WITH POSSIBLE INJURIES. *TR

HAD THIS 2012 FORD EDGE FOR A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AND THEN WAS BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE AND BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD. HAD TO STAND ON IT TO STOP, DIDN'T THINK SUV WAS GOING TO STOP. DID IT 2 MORE TIMES ON WAY HOME (3 BLOCKS). NEXT DAY I MADE A SERVICE APPT. BUT BRAKES WORKED FINE DURING MY REGULAR DRIVING. WAS GOING TO CANCEL APPT. THINKING IT WAS A FLUKE BUT THEN WENT OUT TO GET LUNCH AND IT DID IT AGAIN. VERY SCARY FEELING! THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO UNTIL THEY COULD "FEEL IT". I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE "BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER" PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND WAS TOLD NOT TO BELIEVE EVERYTHING I READ ON INTERNET. THEY KEPT SUV OVERNIGHT AND NEXT DAY BRAKES WORKED FINE AGAIN SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I WENT TO PICK UP SUV THE SECOND EVENING AND AS I HIT THE BRAKES BEFORE I EVEN PULLED OUT OF LOT IT DID IT AGAIN! I BACKED UP AND THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GO THRU DEALERSHIP WALL. SERVICE DEPT. WAS CLOSED SO SALESMAN DROVE IT BACK & FORTH ON THE LOT. HE WAS ABLE TO "FEEL IT". I ALSO GAVE THEM A PRINT OUT OF THESE BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER PROBLEMS. THEY KEPT SUV AGAIN AND SAID THEY WOULD GET ON IT 1ST THING IN AM. AGAIN THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AFTER SEVERAL PHONE CALLS THEY ACTUALLY TOOK IT IN THE SHOP AND TESTED BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER. CALLED ME AT 3:30 TO TELL ME BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER WAS BAD AND THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART. MY VACATION STARTED THE NEXT DAY AND WE PLANNED ON TAKING THE EDGE ON 10 HOUR DRIVE. I HAD TO GET ASSERTIVE AND THEY TOOK BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER OFF OF ANOTHER EDGE VERSUS GIVING ME ANOTHER SUV TO DRIVE FOR A WEEK. SO FAR THE BRAKES HAVE WORKED FINE. THE MANAGER TOLD ME THEY DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TIME TO RESEARCH THESE PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET, I TOLD HIM I DID THE RESEARCH FOR THEM! I DO LOVE THE EDGE AND HOPE THERE ARE NO MORE PROBLEMS. *TR

AFTER ONE AND A HALF MONTHS OF DRIVING MY NEWLY PURCHASED 2012 FORD EDGE SEL, THE BRAKES WERE HARD AND I LITERALLY HAD TO STRAIN MY FOOT AND LEGS TO THE PULP AND GIVE IT ALL THE PRESSURE I COULD TO GET IT TO STOP AND TO AVOID HITTING SOMETHING OR RUNNING INTO SOMEONE. IT WAS THE MOST HORRIBLE AND STRESSFUL EXPERIENCE I EVER HAD DRIVING AND ESPECIALLY SINCE THE CAR HAD BEEN JUST PURCHASED LESS THAN TWO MONTHS WHEN THIS STARTED HAPPENING. WHAT A NIGHTMARE IT WAS!!!!! THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE FORD PLACE BEING REPAIRED AND HAS BEEN THERE SINCE FRIDAY, JULY 11, 2014. THEY HAD TO ORDER A POWER BOOSTER AND REPLACE THAT AND WHATEVER ELSE THAT WAS NEEDED TO MAKE THE BRAKES WORK PROPERLY. THERE IS A LOT THEY ARE NOT SHARING WITH ME AND AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS AND REPORTS CONCERNING THIS VERY SAME MODEL, I CAN SEE WHY THEY ARE BEING SO EXTREMELY VAGUE WITH ME WHEN I ASK QUESTIONS. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THAT THE VEHICLE IS SUPPOSED TO BE A FUEL ECONOMY VEHICLE AND EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T COST THAT MUCH TO RE-FUEL, IT SURE DOES NEED REFUELING MORE FREQUENTLY THAN I EVER EXPECTED. I ONLY DO LOCAL DRIVING MOSTLY TO AND FROM WORK OR TO THE LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD STORES AND SO FORTH, AND AS SOON AS I ACCELERATE, I CAN SEE THE GAS GAUGE JUST GOING DOWN, DOWN, DOWN. I AM BEGINNING TO THINK WITH ALL DUE RESPECT THAT FOR A VEHICLE THAT COST AS MUCH AS THEY SOLD IT TO ME FOR, I MAY HAVE PURCHASED A LEMON OR THE EDGE IS JUST NOT ALL THAT IT IS CRACKED UP TO BE. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED AND EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED. NOW I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE HEARD THAT FORD STANDS FOR FIX OR REPAIR DAILY. *TR

I WAS UNABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND HIT A CONE IN NYC. AFTER, IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CAR WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN BUT IT TOOK TIME. I DROVE SLOW AND AWAY FROM OTHERS. THE BRAKES WERE HARD AND MADE NOISE WHEN I PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKES. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER, THEY INFORMED ME THAT FORD HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE PART AND I ASKED WHY WASN'T THE PART RECALLED IF IT PUT ME AND MY FAMILY IN HARMS WAY. WHY WASN'T I NOTIFIED PRIOR TO LOSING FULL BRAKING POWER? I AM THANKFUL THAT I NOTICED THE PROBLEM RIGHT AWAY AND MY FAMILY AND I ARE SAFE. I HAVE CONCERNS FOR OTHERS WHO MAY BE AT A GREATER SPEED WHEN THE BRAKES FAIL OR HAVE TO STOP UNEXPECTEDLY. IN ADDITION, MY CAR HAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES FOR NOT LOCKING INTO THE PARK POSITION. IT IS NOT SAFE AND AGAIN, I HAVE CONCERNS FOR MY FAMILY AND OTHERS. CAN THIS CAR MOVE IF IT ISN'T SECURED IN THE PARK POSITION? I HAVE VOICED MY CONCERNS WITH FORD BUT HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RUN AROUND BY EVERYONE I HAVE ENCOUNTERED. THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES AND NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE. EVERYONE IS NICE AND APOLOGIZES BUT THEY NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THESE SAFETY CONCERNS FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS AND FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC. *TR

AT THE SAME TIME AS PRESSING THE PEDAL I COULD HEAR A HISSING NOISE SOMETIMES WITH A "TEAPOT WHISTLE" LIKE SOUND. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RESOLVED WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PROGRAM CSP-13N03. HOWEVER, MY FORD DEALER IN COLOMBIA SOUTH AMERICA SAYS THAT ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE SHOWS ALL THE SYMPTOMS AND COMPLIES WITH THE MANUFACTURE DATES, THE PROGRAM IS ONLY APPLICABLE FOR FORD CUSTOMERS IN THE US AND NOT THE REST OF THE WORLD.

I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES AND THEN THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND BEGAN MAKING A SQUEALING/HISSING SOUND THEN MY VEHICLE STALLED. RESTARTED MY VEHICLE AND THEN IT DOES THE VERY SAME THING AT THE NEXT STOP SIGN I REACHED. DROVE BACK HOME IN FEAR OF A MAJOR BRAKING FAILURE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS UPSET AT THE LACK OF URGENCY REGARDING THIS ISSUE. ALREADY WENT THROUGH THE FUEL LINE RECALL AND NOW THIS AND THIS ISN'T EVEN A RECALL, WHICH SHOULD BE AFTER SEEING THE AMOUNT OF INCIDENTS REGARDING THE BRAKING ISSUE.

ON VARIOUS DATES, MOVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS (FROM PULLING INTO OR OUT OF A PARKING SPOT TO GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY) I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE EDGE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN AS IT SHOULD. AT TIMES, I BECAME AFRAID THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD REAR-END ANOTHER VEHICLE OR I WOULD HIT SOMEONE IN A CROSS WALK. I HAD TO PRESS VERY HARD ON THE BRAKES AND EVEN THEN, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT I WAS JUST BEING PARANOID, BUT WHEN THIS OCCURRED 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY ON 9/17/13, WE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM INSPECT IT RIGHT AWAY. LATER THAT NIGHT, A FORD MECHANIC CALLED AND EXPLAINED THAT THE "BRAKE BOOSTER" WAS DEFECTIVE AND PRESSURE WAS NOT BEING APPLIED ADEQUATELY TO STOP THE CAR. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW IN APRIL 2012.

MY 14 MONTH OLD, 2012 FORD EDGE, HAS HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES, SOME VERY SERIOUS! FROM THE BEGINNING, I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE SYNC SYSTEM, THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM, AND CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE. THEY HAVE HAD TO "UPDATE" MY SYNC SYSTEM MORE THAN ONCE. I FREQUENTLY GET A "NO KEY DETECTED" MESSAGE WHEN DRIVING. (PUSH START SYSTEM) THE FIRST TIME THAT HAPPENED I PULLED OFF THE ROAD THINKING IT WOULD STOP RUNNING, AND DID $1400.00 IN DAMAGE TO THE CAR. (COVERAGE WAS DENIED BY THE WHEEL AND TIRE PROTECTION PLAN.) LATER WAS TOLD THE CAR WOULD NOT HAVE STOPPED EVEN IF IT DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THAT THE KEY FOB WAS IN IT. (A CAR-JACKERS DREAM!) I HAD A HOLE IN MY BRAKE BOOSTER CAUSING ME TO NOT HAVE THE BENEFIT OF POWER BRAKES. FOUND THIS OUT WHEN I STEPPED ON MY BRAKES AND WASN'T STOPPING. I HAD THE REALLY PUSH ON THEM TO PREVENT HITTING A CAR. THE BATTERY DIED IN 14 MONTHS. THE LATEST IS THAT THE VACUUM SEAL IN THE CAPLESS FUEL SYSTEM HAD A BAD O-RING CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK AND VAPORS TO ESCAPE. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THIS CAR IS POORLY MADE.

AFTER SEARCHING ON GOOGLE I REALIZED THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AND FORD NEVER ISSUED ANY WARNING TO INFORM ITS CUSTOMER OF THE POTENTIAL LIFE DAMAGING SITUATION.

BAD BRAKES (?BRAKE BOOSTERS?) - I AM EXTREMELY UPSET AND AMAZED THAT MY NEW 2012 FORD EDGE, PURCHASED ONE YEAR EARLIER AND ONLY HAS 15,000 MILES HAD A CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE. MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH MY FIVE (5) MONTH OLD BABY AND DISCOVERED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. MY WIFE ALMOST CRASHED THE VEHICLE; POTENTIALLY INJURING HER AND MY NEWBORN. BELIEVING IT WAS MAYBE A RANDOM EVENT, I SEARCHED GOOGLE FOR ?FORD EDGE BRAKE FAILURE? AND I WAS ASTONISHED TO FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. SEVERAL BLOGS DESCRIBED DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES WITH BRAKE PROBLEMS RELATED TO A BRAKE ?BOOSTER?; PEOPLE ALMOST CRASHING. SO I CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (GREENWAY FORD) AND HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED IN FOR REPAIR. I WAS ADVISED BY THE SALESPERSON THAT IT WAS IN FACT THE ?BRAKE BOOSTER? AND THAT HE HAD SEEN THREE (3) RECENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS IS CALLED A ?CLUE? THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE PART ITSELF AND FORD IS NOT BEING A RESPONSIBLE COMPANY AND CORRECTING THE ISSUE. APPARENTLY, THE COST OF A LIFE IS MEASURED IS OUTWEIGHED BY COST OF A RECALL AND WHAT YOUR COMPANY MAY LOSE IN CIVIL LITIGATION. THE DEALER (GREENWAY FORD) IS REPAIRING THE VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY AND AFTER A DAY OF NOT COMPLETING THE JOB OFFERED A FREE RENTAL VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR TWO DAYS. THE DEALER ALSO NOTED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. ALSO, SEVERAL ONLINE BLOGS HAVE DOCUMENTED THE ISSUE. IT APPEARS THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE AND FORD HAS DONE NOTHING ? PROACTIVELY ? TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STEEP HILL (PARKING LOT FROM WORK) THIS LEADS ONTO A BUSY AVENUE. WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES I NOTICED MY VEHICLE ROLLED ONTO THE STREET,I COULD NOT STOP. I QUICKLY TURNED RIGHT. THANK GOD THERE WERE NO CARS COMING. HOWEVER, HAD I NOT QUICKLY TURN, THE CAR WOULD HAVE ROLLED RIGHT ONTO THE CENTER OF THE STREET AND I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN SIDE SWAPPED BOTH WAYS. I COULD NOT PULL OVER SO I DROVE SLOW GOING UNDER 10 MPH AND TURNED ON TO A ROAD AND PULLED INTO A PHARMACY PARKING LOT IN WHICH I LET THE CAR ROLL INTO A PARKING SPACE AND I CALLED THE TOWING COMPANY AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM. I WAS TOLD YESTERDAY THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED. AFTER ASKING WHAT IT WAS, I THEN ASKED WHY AND HOW DID IT FAIL. THEY STATED IT WAS DEFECTED AND THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPEN AND THAT IS WHY NEW CARS HAVE WARRANTY'S. THEY WERE WAITING TO RECEIVE THE PART SO THEY CAN REPLACE IT. I'M NOT CONFIDENT THAT MY CAR IS SAFE AND I TOLD THEM I HAD A 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CAR. THE DEALER SAID THEY CAN'T GUARANTEE NOTHING ELSE WILL HAPPEN, BUT THAT IS WHY NEW CARS ARE UNDER WARRANTY. I'M NOT CONFIDENT ANYMORE AND FORD SHOULD REALLY BEGIN RECALLING THESE BRAKE BOOSTERS. I COULD HAVE DIED. IT WAS GOD WATCHING OVER ME THAT I'M UNHARMED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE SOON! *TR

SYMPTOMS REPEATED ON 8/10 WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND ON 8/19, ALSO WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE.

DRIVER: 83 YEAR OLD WOMAN... NEW AUTO: FORD EDGE 2012, NO INJURIES, VEHICLE DAMAGE APPROX $2000.00 NO PROPERTY DAMAGE..... PROBLEM: LADY STEPPED ON ACCELERATOR RATHER THAN BRAKE.... REASON: THE BRAKE PEDAL AT REST IS HIGHER THAN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT REST. THE DRIVER IS USED TO AN OLDER (CHRYSLER 2009) VEHICLE WHICH THERE WAS NOT AN APPRECIABLE DIFFERENCE IN PEDAL HEIGHT, STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THINKING SHE WAS STEPPING ON THE BRAKE.... RESOLUTION: DISCUSSING THE INCIDENT, THE WOMAN WAS SEATED IN THE FORD EDGE AND ASKED TO SEE IF SHE FELT A DIFFERENCE IN HEIGHT OF THE BRAKE VS ACCELERATOR PEDALS. SHE DID, AND HAS SINCE PRACTICED GOING BETWEEN PEDALS, LIFTING HER FOOT TO ACCESS THE BRAKE, RATHER THAN MERELY SLIDING HER FOOT TO THE LEFT........ IT IS THIS WRITERS OPINION THAT MANY OF THE UNEXPLAINED ACCIDENTS WHERE A PERSON, ESPECIALLY WHEN AN ELDERLY PERSON IS DRIVING, HAS MISTOOK THE ACCELERATOR FOR THE BRAKE IS DUE TO THE HEIGHT OF PEDAL DIFFERENCE. ................ IT MIGHT BE WISE TO MAKE AWARE THIS PROBLEM TO MANUFACTURERS AND THE PUBLIC. ........ THANKS *TR
