Consumer Description

While driving down the road my brakes completely locked up on me and by the time I could safely pull over, all 4 tires were smoking (I'm assuming coming from the brakes). I had it towed to a Ford dealer were I was notified that I was the 3rd Ford Edge this week to have the brake system lock up (one of the other vehicles was just purchased by the employee that I was speaking with and his brakes locked up the day after purchasing it, while driving down the highway). In my situation the "Service AdvanceTrec/ABS/traction control" lights came on and next thing I know the brakes are locked up and the car wouldn't go. Luckily I was alone in the car (I have children) and I was not at a high rate of speed, such as the highway. The Ford dealer inspected it and said my ABS system went haywire and I now need a new ABS system/modules after I just had the brake booster and master cylinder replaced. I don't think that it is a coincidence that 3 separate people with the same kind of vehicle (2011-2013 Ford Edge) all in 1 week had their brakes lockup. If there are 3 people in one week at this particular dealer, how many others are out there going through the same issue or have already had this happen? Hopefully Ford can resolve this issue before someone gets hurt or killed in an accident.
