I was stopping at a yellow light and the brakes were slow to respond nearly resulting in a collision with the car stopped in front. I initially attributed this to wet brakes since it was raining heavily and I had only gone a short distance. I returned home without further incidence. The next morning my wife took the car and nearly drove into traffic after the car was slow to stop leaving the subdivision. I had the car towed to the dealer, they said the brake booster had failed and that brake booster part is on back order and wouldn't available until the end of October or early November. The car is 3 years old with 25,000 miles. I think the parts back order status may be the result of unexpected demand because of a high failure rate. The dealer said the part in question is a common component used...
I was driving the Ford Edge and the roads were a little slick so I was driving very slow. I was about 2 blocks from my house when I needed to engage the brakes to come to a complete stop, which happened to be going downhill toward a stop sign that intersected with a freeway off ramp. Both the brakes and ABS failed to engage and I hit a guard rail across the intersection. This caused significant damage to my vehicle and was very lucky that no one was hurt. The "Check Brake System" only came up after I ran into the guard rail, which was also the only time I needed to fully engage the brake to come to a full stop. The shop confirmed that the accident would not have damaged the brakes.
2021 Edge- 2 week old car and when braking, car started to shake and there was a thumping voice. I got home, barely, to find the brake pads loose on the driver side rear. It was towed to the dealer and found to have a loose caliper that needed to be replaced and fixed.
Vehicle was traveling on a rural road when driver attempted to brake. Driver witnessed flames from under their vehicle when applying brakes. Driver had to stop the vehicle by laying it in a ditch and escaping the engulfed car. Post accident it was noted and shown a significant amount of brake fluid on the ground from the incident. Bystanders say that the vehicle was blowing flames out from under neath while attempting to stop.
