2012 FORD EDGE Service Brakes Problems

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.

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)....

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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....

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. PROBLEM 2. SOMETIMES ALARM GOES OFF RANDOMLY WHILE PARKED. DOOR SENSOR WILL SOMETIMES SAY DOOR OPEN WHEN IT IS CLOSED AND LOCKED. PROBLEM 3 TOUCH SCREEN SOMETIMES SLOW, UNRESPONSIVE OR DOES NOT COME ON AT ALL.

A SUDDEN HARD BRAKE CAUSED BRAKE PEDAL TO BECOME SOFT AND GO COMPLETELY DOWN TO FLOOR WITH VERY LITTLE BRAKE FUNCTION LEFT. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE WITH MY FORD EDGE ON PAST 4 MONTHS!

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...

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...

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...

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. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE RECENT FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE IN HIS GARAGE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY ROLLED TO A STOP. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FIVE STAR FORD DALLAS/PLANO (LOCATED AT 8900 W PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH HWY, DALLAS, TX 75252, (972) 985-3600), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

BRAKES GO ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. I HAVE HAD BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED AND MASTER CYLINDER AND STILL THERE IS AN ISSUE. SEE THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING SAME ISSUE AND THAT FORD NEEDS TO CHECK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEBODY IS BADLY INJURED!

BRAKES HAVE FAILED TWICE ON THIS VEHICLE IN DRIVEWAY.

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...

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.

BREAKS ARE HARD AND THEN GO TO THE FLOOR. BREAK FLUED SEEMS TO BE LEAKING FROM THE BREAK BOOSTER. MY WIFE INHERITED THIS VEHICLE FROM HER MOTHER WHO HAS PARKINSON DISEASE AND CAN NO LONGER DRIVE. SHE TOOK OWNERSHIP ON OR ABOUT AUGUST 19, 2019. SHE HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THE BREAKS, BUT THE PROBLEMS SEEMED TO COME AND GO. OVER THE PAST 2 DAYS THE BRAKES FAILED SEVERAL TIMES WITH HER NARROWLY AVOIDING MAJOR ACCIDENTS.AS SHE ATTEMPTED TO STOP AT LIGHTS IN A 45 MPH ZONE IN THE CITY OF FLOWER MOUND TX. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. MILLAGE IS CURRENTLY 11,1030.

INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE. FIRST OCCURRENCE ON 7/9/19. MOST RECENT, TODAY, 9/17/19. NO WARNING LIGHTS, SYSTEM SHOWS BRAKES ARE OK, FLUID LEVEL IS CONTINUALLY PERFECT. ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING. 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...

INTERMITTENTLY, AT LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD TO DEPRESS AND BRAKING IS DIFFICULT. IT OCCURS FREQUENTLY IN REVERSE AND LESS SO IN DRIVE.

"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!!...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE MALFUNCTIONING. THE CONTACT NOTICED A CRACK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE ROTOR THAT PULSATED WHEN DRIVING DOWN A HILL. THE CONTACT SUSPECTED THE DEALER SWITCHED THE VIN WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN SHE TOOK IT TO JEFF WYLER NISSAN OF CINCINNATI (8680 COLERAIN AVE, CINCINNATI, OH 45251, (513) 385-1400) EARLIER FOR AIR CONDITIONING REPAIRS. 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.

ABS, MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER FAILED. PROBLEM IS INFREQUENT SOFT PEDAL. 1. BOOSTER REPLACED UNDER FORD NOTICE 13N02C. BUT SOFT PEDAL PERSISTED OFF AND ON FOR MONTHS 2. NOW DEALER SAYS ABS AND MASTER CYLINDER ARE NOT WORKING RIGHT. 3. DEALER REQUESTED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM FORD AND NO REPLY. $1800 EST FOR REPAIRS 4. CAR IS SITTING AT THE DEALER FOR 2 WEEKS WITH NO RESOLUTION, TODAY IS 7/19/2019. WHY HAVE ALL THREE MAJOR BRAKING COMPONENTS FAILED ON THIS CAR? ONE PROBLEM, BOOSTER, FORD FIXED N/C BUT NOW THEY ARE NO HELP WITH THE OTHER TWO. IS THERE A DESIGN OR MFG PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM? THE SOFT PEDAL IS VERY INFREQUENT BUT SCARY WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN. DEALER HAD DIFFICULTY FIGURING OUT THE ISSUES AS WE KEPT COMING BACK BUT BY THE TIME WE ARRIVED THE SOFT PEDAL WENT AWAY AND THE DEALER COULD NOT TEST IT. FINALLY...

I HAVE EXPERIENCE BRAKE FAILURE 3 TIMES SINCE NOVEMBER 2018. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS REPAIRS SUCH AS BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACEMENT, MASTER CYLANDER, FLUSHES,HCU ASSY REPLACEMENT AND MY BRAKES STILL GO OUT. ALL THE WHILE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE

BRAKES QUIT WORKING WHILE EXECUTING A NORMAL STOP. PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. REPLACED ALL BRAKE COMPONENTS AND AFTER A MONTH OF REPAIRS MECHANIC SAID CAR IS NOT FIXABLE THAT I NEED TO JUNK THE CAR. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT MANY OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, THE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT ALMOST CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW MASTER CYLINDER AND ABS BLEED MOTOR UNIT NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,013. THE CONSUMER STATED NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED.*JS

BRAKING ISSUES EXACTLY AS A PRIOR ISSUE THAT WAS REPAIRED WITH BOOSTER REPAIR AS PART OF A CUSTOMER CAMPAIGN. DEALERSHIP AND THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE STATES THAT THESE PARTS ARE NO LONGER COVERED OR A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THEM! ISSUE APPEARS UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, FEELS SOFT INITIALLY THEN HARDENS AT THE LAST POSSIBLE MINUTE. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST AND IS UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE! THIS HAPPENED AT 70 AND 100 THOUSAND MILES. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING UNDER VARYING CIRCUMSTANCES AND IS UNPREDICTABLE INITIALLY, VERY SAD THAT FORD IS NOT CONCERNED FOR A PREVIOUSLY LOYAL CUSTOMER!
