2013 FORD EDGE Forward Collision Avoidance Automatic Emergency Braking Problems

Probable power brake booster failure, in a panic stop attempt when another motorist ran a red light the vehicle brake pedal became very hard and did not want to stop the vehicle. Other instances include spongy and soft pedal going to the floor with very poor braking. This vehicle was included in FoMoCo Customer Satisfaction Program 13N02 but did not exhibit these symptoms until just recently. These are the exact symptoms covered by the program but time and mileage has expired for this build date even though later models are still covered.

My brake booster failed while driving and lost control. Recall had been issued for for 2013 edge for this problem based on VIN. Mine was not included yet it failed in my low mileage garaged car. Nearly impossible to contact Ford for resolution. If the failure happened on my car it should be covered under Terms of Recall.

9/15/2022 paid $875.90 for brake booster, two weeks later, ABS module going out, according to Moyer Ford, as of 12/01/2022, I’ve called Ford Complaint and they fail to add my vin number, says only nhtsa can do that. As of today, 12/01/2022, Moyer ford is telling me abs modules are on back order with no ETA. Ford knows this is major brake issue but not addressing it! Now when abs part does come in, that’s another $800 out of my pocket, total of $1700 that Ford is ignoring and don’t even have the parts to fix! Major concern!

The brakes on my otherwise perfect 2013 Ford Edge recently went to the floorboard while I was driving. The first time, I could have killed a pedestrian--which should shock everybody including Ford. The second time, I could've killed several people in the car in front of me and started a deadly chain reaction. Ford dealers have told me that there is a recall on the 2011 & 2012 Ford Edges for a replacement of the ABS module--BUT NOT FOR MY YEAR! People are going to die if the greedy Ford is not FORCED TO RECALL THIS YEAR TOO. I've been told by numerous independent mechanics and have spent hundreds of dollars which leaves the brakes still not working properly. Ford dealers have quoted me $2000 + to replace the ABS module (ECU & HCU). I am a senior citizen and cannot afford anything near that. PLEASE ... PLEASE HELP ME...

It is believed by driver that booster hose has failed. This became apparent when driving through New Orleans on I-10 westbound. When I came off interstate exit to a street near where I was going, I had to almost stand on brake pedal to stop and keep from rearending car in front of me. I checked my brake fluid and it was full with no leaks. There are no leaks on inside under brake pedal. This vehicle is a 2013 Ford Edge SEL AWD assembled ay Oakville, Ontario, Canada. There was no dash lights that came on to indicate that there is a malfunction. My vehicle may also have an electrical light problem to which I am not aware of.
