Recently reported SERVICE BRAKES problems on 2008 Ford Edge

When were driving the car it loses power(the traction control just comes on for no reason) , when we go above 70 our abs light comes on, our brakes randomly just start grinding then they will stop, we have replaced the breaks last month.

While driving with my 6 month old son in the car, i couldn't stop using my brakes! i almost crashed!! i looked up the symptoms online and everyone is complaining about this issue. it seems the brake booster fails and the brakes do not work!!! the other issue i have seen, hundreds of people complaining about rear tail lights blowing out and when changing out the bulbs, the bulb sockets are burnt and melted! mine are the same, burnt up and melted. it is a fire hazard waiting to happen!!

Partial loss of brakes stopping the vehicle while in motion. hissing noise occurred when applying the brakes. possibly caused by faulty master cylinder or boost system. * recall was issued for this problem for 2010-2013 ford edge vehicles.

Whistling noise when brake pedal depressed and sometimes brake pedal is hard to depress making stops seem likely unstoppable also rear brakes make terrible noise when backing pads and rotors are okay.

Brakes on my 2008 ford edge are making a hissing noise when depressed and do not stop the car unless i press the brakes all the way to the floor and even with that, the car does not stop completely, especially at high rates of speed. took it to a mechanic to get new brake pads applied and was told it was the brake booster. i looked up a recall for the brake booster on this site only to find many complaints with the same problem but no recall.

Right wheel well vibrates when i turn and drive over50 miles hour transmission jerks like its not engaging to next gear from a stop or when driving under mph back left brake light burns out every other day . brakes are sqeeling and sound like metal scraping but no indicator has come on for the abs to to be replace must module not working correctly cause mot coding anything with tranny jerking either ford edge is peice of (xxxx) i never by american again

My turn signal bulb socket fries repeatedly. this will be the fourth time in 2 years replacing it. it burns up the socket and melts the bottom of the light bulb. i got the parts from ford dealership also but i have read online any people having issues with it. it just goes out all of a sudden.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 ford edge. while driving approximately 20 mph, the brake pedal became stiff while being depressed. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact stated that the brake pedal had to be depressed with force in order to stop the vehicle. the dealer was not called. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

I was driving 35 mph when i applied the brakes as i normally do the car kept moving so i had to apply lot of pressure to the brake pedal to stop the car. i heard a unusual noise. i had two diagnostic done and informed that it was the brake booster but was not cover under the factory recall because it's a 2008 model edge what a ripoff! the same manufacture defective issue in the 2010 is covered. go figure!. if i had been driving faster i would have been unable to stop to avoid a accident.

Yesterday, the vehicle did not stop when it was supposed to stop. i depressed the brakes, but needed to apply excessive force and they made a hissing sound. the vehicle slowly coasted to a stop. it was a terrifying incident, especially since i have a 5 year old son. the ford dealership confirmed that the brake booster had failed. i see that this is a recall on the 2010 and newer edge, which uses the same part. i feel that this should also be a recall in the earlier models, as it is a huge safety issue. the vehicle is currently in the shop awaiting repair, which will cost me in excess of $500. i am not pleased.
