The brake booster failure
While i was out driving to get my inspection done my car would not stop the brakes were very hard to push like i was standing up on it so i've went to go get the brakes replace before the inspection and the brakes were still hard to push that's when the machanic had tried and informed me that it's not the brakes and my car is unable to stop even driving at a very low speed my car was close to over turning due to not being able to stop with new breaks that's when i was informed it's the break booster
Brake booster failed while driving vehicle (in motion), in investigating recalls on brake boosters, found ford edge from 2010 to 2013 has recall.
I have my car in the shop getting brake booster replaced at $900, ford has a customer satisfaction program 13n02 that covers newer cars. looking on-line this issue is prevalent and i believe this should be looked at as a recall, no brakes. although nearly complete loss of brakes only happened recently i believe this issue may have been building for years. i always noticed other vehicles had (to me) much touchier brakes. i now believe that the other vehicles weren't touchier, it was my car that had low braking. from what i have been reading it seems that this should have been a recall issue years ago but yet it's another cover up by a car manufacturer.
My brakes act like they are stuck a local mechanic told me it was my brake booster i tried to come to a complete stop and they would not work i almost had an accident because of the issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. while driving 30 mph approaching an intersection, the brake pedal was applied, but failed to respond without warning. the brakes resumed normal operation after three to five seconds. the dealer (gabriel/jordan ford, 2400 u s highway 59 s, livingston, tx 77351, (936)327-4327) was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the vehicle was not included in a recall. the contact was referred to nhtsa to file a complaint. the failure mileage was 124,000.
Brake booster leakage, on the highway the brakes actually was so hard to depress when coming up upon a vehicle at the light i had to pump the brakes to get it too stop,,,,,,so finally the brakes grabbed stopping the vehicle in a sudden stop. the brake padel went to the floor making a whispering sound.
While driving on a straight roadway, i applied the brakes to come to a stop and had to apply extreme pressure to get the vehicle to slow down and come to a dead stop. my 105 lb. daughter could not have stopped this vehicle in time and would have crashed. i drove slowly to my repair shop, where the mechanic checked the brakes and advised me that the power brake booster had failed and needed to be replaced. he advised me to report this serious and possibly deadly problem to ford and the federal safety board.

Brakes power booster, power booster failing and exhibiting the same problems as later model ford edges, that have been recalled...customer satisfaction program 13n02. *tr
Brake booster is failing. i am experiencing poor braking, and hissing noise when i depress brake. there is a customer satisfaction program 13n02 but my vin does not appear to be part of the program. looking at various forums, this appears to be a major issue with several years of ford edge vehicles impacted. i am requesting that nhtsa look into the matter.
