while driving approximately 10-15 mph, the brake pedal was depressed repeatedly with a delayed response. the malfunctioned recurred whenever the brake pedal was engaged. hard to push on the pedal and very firm. stop car and restart it's ok until you drive and stop again. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. the technician diagnosed that the brake booster cylinder was defective and needed to be replaced. the vehicle had not been repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the defect. the approximate failure mileage was 81,000. this is very dangerous and non-drivable. *tr
A wheel speed sensor failed (per my mechanic), causing the abs and traction control systems to malfunction. it became extremely difficult to stop the car, with the brake pedal pulsing and traveling nearly to the floorboard. i was finally able to stop the car just before running a red light by standing on the brake pedal. the brake pads were at ~50% per a recent state inspection. this happened again in february 2015 when another wheel speed sensor failed with my wife and children in the car with me. i was able to temporarily resolve the issue by pulling the abs fuse to disable the abs system. ford's r&m engineers must have forgotten to perform a failure mode analysis on the edge's abs system.

I was driving along and attempted to stop at a red light. my brakes suddenly became extremely resistant to my foot pressure and a high pitched squealing noise accompanied the situation. i was not able to stop immediately but managed to escape a collision with oncoming traffic. i drove my vehicle, cautiously, to a ford dealership and the mechanic diagnosed the problem (brake booster) immediately. he stated he had two 2007 ford edge vehicles in the shop with the same problem (bad brake booster). the internet is flooded with this issue in the ford edge. i and many others have been effected financially and emotionally. a recall on the break booster is necessary to prevent further injury and financial loss to ford customers. *tr
While driving i notices that when pressing on the brakes that the brake pedal would go all the way to the floor making it very difficult to stop. i had to pump the brakes several times just to slow down and the brake pedal would still go to the floor. got the card to a service center and after a complete check by the service technician i was told that the brake booster was bad and that it was preventing brake flood to flow the brakes. i cost me $680.00 to fix the problem. i went online and it seems to be a problem with 2007 ford edge vehicles and that many other customers are having the same problem. luckily i wasn't driving fast and no one was in front of me while driving or i could have crashed without the use my brakes. ford needs to address this problem if they haven't already. has there been a ford recall to address the brake problems with the 2007 ford edge? *tr

I had my front and back brake pads changed, they bled the line and i noticed that the brakes were extremely soft - pedal went all the way to the floor. had the line rebled and same thing. took it in to my mechanic and the power brake booster had gone out. called dealership and they had none in stock and they were on back order - only 3 dealerships in houston area had one. found one at a dealership on the other side of town, bought it and had the mechanic install it, rebleed the brake line. now the pedal would be stiff and hard to press down to get truck to stop. took it back in and had the line rebled and the rotors re-turned. that did the trick and it has worked fine since. *tr
While braking on a highway i felt something was wrong with the brakes as i had to push the pedal with all my might to slow down. after exiting the ramp and approaching a stop light it was apparent that i had no "real" brakes..again pedal to the floor with a very long distance to come to a complete stop. at this time i could hear a very loud kind of whistling sound coming from the pedal when i applied the brakes..again to the floor. as i pulled into a parking lot it felt like i lost all control ...almost like no power at all to stop the car. this has been reported to ford..my mechanic said it was the brake booster. *tr
This is my daughters vehicle. she complained of a noise in the front end while braking and sometimes while just driving at moderate speeds. upon inspection i discovered that the inner brake pads on both front brakes were totally worn out and grinding on the metal while the outer pads had plenty of brake material left. the rotors were ruined! the rear brake pads also had plenty of material left. this is totally unacceptable and dangerous. *tt

While driving depressed the brake pedal and felt a lot of resistance without much braking. after a second or three the pedal started to plunge to the floor applying the brakes with great force. took to local dealer where they replaced the master brake booster. this was at 61000 and was not under warranty. just today april 15, 2014 it happened again. took it to the dealer and received the same prognosis, the master brake booster is bad. the car currently has 120000 on it, kind of odd that it was nearly the same duration for the second one to go bad. this time the cost is nearly double that of last time. this is ultimately a very dangerous defect as it quickly happens and you may not stop in time to avoid collision. *tt
