In july 2016 i had the brake booster replaced at a dealership after encountering braking problems, it was a warranty issue (68530 miles). early february 2020 i started to experience the same problem with the brakes, they were spongy and i had to press the brake pedal to the floor to get the vehicle to stop. today (2/12/2020) with 101155 miles on the vehicle, i was pulling into a parking lot (slow speed) and i encountered the same problem, except no spongy brakes, zero braking ability until i had the brake pedal fully pressed to the floorboard. eventually the vehicle came to a stop. i have reached out to the dealership that conducted the maintenance and i am waiting to hear back from them. note: the brake fluid level is fine. the experience earlier this month took place when i was preparing to park. this is a very serious safety issue, i am concerned for not only my safety but the people i encounter on the roads. i ran my vin and see that i have no recalls that have yet to be addressed; but my concern is that perhaps the faulty ...
The brakes randomly become soft and the pedal goes almost to the floor before bringing the car to a complete stop. a recall for this same problem was put out on 12/23/2019 for 2006-10 ford fusion, mercury milan, lincoln mkz. the 2012 edge should be included as a quick internet search shows i am not the only one with this issue. when you are driving 55-70 mph and the brakes randomly go soft it is a huge safety issue. this is not a constant occurrence, and it is hard for my mechanic to reproduce. it happens in all driving conditions, parking, highway, in town, when on/off the brakes or just hitting them to slow down on a highway. i have used my emergency brake to stop from hitting a car in front of me on a highway once, and my husband hit a bush when parking because of this. i reached out to ford, who was aware of my complaint, and was told there is no active recall, and to "be safe" this is unacceptable. either myself or someone else is going to get hurt.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. while parking the vehicle in his garage, the vehicle failed to stop when the brake pedal was depressed. the vehicle eventually rolled to a stop. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to five star ford dallas/plano (located at 8900 w president george bush hwy, dallas, tx 75252, (972) 985-3600), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was 102,000.
Brakes have failed twice on this vehicle in driveway.
There is a partial recall on these model ford edge's. where the brake booster and brake master cylinder are defective and cause the brakes to fill with air and lose partial and sometimes total loss of braking power. this happened to my 2012 ford edge sport. i bought new factory parts and had them installed by a professional. they went out again. it had to do with he factory of the parts. please place a mass recall on this part. my wife and kids shouldn't get into a wreck due to brakes going out again. they already have totally gone out twice. the 2nd time my wife with daughter and my son in the car couldnt slow down in time and got into a fender bender. it wasn't serious. this time. thank you. also, another problem that has been noted by thousands of ford edge owners is the style of fuel door. it doesn't seal properly which in return causes a check engine light to appear on the instrument cluster. please investigate this issue as sell. thank you.
Brakes go all the way to floor. i have had brake booster replaced and master cylinder and still there is an issue. see that other people are having same issue and that ford needs to check into this before somebody is badly injured!
Breaks are hard and then go to the floor. break flued seems to be leaking from the break booster. my wife inherited this vehicle from her mother who has parkinson disease and can no longer drive. she took ownership on or about august 19, 2019. she has complained about the breaks, but the problems seemed to come and go. over the past 2 days the brakes failed several times with her narrowly avoiding major accidents.as she attempted to stop at lights in a 45 mph zone in the city of flower mound tx. the car is not safe to drive. millage is currently 11,1030.
Intermittently, at low speeds the brake pedal is hard to depress and braking is difficult. it occurs frequently in reverse and less so in drive.
Takata recall' - i cannot count how many times this has happened to my vehicle. the breaks just refuses to function and the speed would not decrease. i have taken it to the dealership several times and they cannot find anything wrong with the breaks and they are not doing anything about it. last sunday (september 8,), my family and i almost died on the way to church. the vehicle would not stop!!! it finally came to a halt after been stopped by a pavement. i had to call ford for a tow truck (which i had to pay for but they gave me a discount). my car has been with their service department for three days now. they keep saying that they cannot find anything wrong with it - this was exactly what happened the first time and 1-2 months later, we are back at the exact same spot!! there are several people online with the same issue. this car is not safe. who else is supposed to diagnose a car but the manufacturer?!! if the manufacturer cannot find what is wrong with it, then the world is in big trouble. i thank god for always protecting myself and ...
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. the contact stated that the brakes were malfunctioning. the contact noticed a crack on the driver's side rotor that pulsated when driving down a hill. the contact suspected the dealer switched the vin with another vehicle when she took it to jeff wyler nissan of cincinnati (8680 colerain ave, cincinnati, oh 45251, (513) 385-1400) earlier for air conditioning repairs. the repairs had not yet been completed. the dealer denied the vin accusation and the contact was seeking legal assistance. the manufacturer stated that since the dealer was not authorized by them, they could not assist. the failure mileage was unknown.
Intermittent brake failure. first occurrence on 7/9/19. most recent, today, 9/17/19. no warning lights, system shows brakes are ok, fluid level is continually perfect. absolutely no warning. you go to apply brakes and it suddenly goes straight to the floor. first 3 occurrences i was able to pump the brakes hard 3-6 times and it gradually went back to normal. 4th time resulted in brake failure multiple times over a 2-3 mile period, continually pumping brakes. they would start to stiffen up, be spongy, fall to the floor again, stiffen up, fail, spongy, etc. this is a serious safety issue and there appears to be numerous complaints about this. how many crashes or deaths will it take to hold the manufacturer accountable? this needs to be investigated thoroughly, the issue needs to be determined and corrected prior to the loss of life or serious injury. previous complaints show costly repairs with no result of the issue being corrected. all 4 instances of brake failure i have experienced i was in motion, on a county road, three instances of turning and one going straight.
Braking issues exactly as a prior issue that was repaired with booster repair as part of a customer campaign. dealership and the ford customer service line states that these parts are no longer covered or a safety concern for them! issue appears unexpectedly when the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor, feels soft initially then hardens at the last possible minute. it happens intermittently at first and is unreliable and unsafe! this happened at 70 and 100 thousand miles. this happens while driving under varying circumstances and is unpredictable initially, very sad that ford is not concerned for a previously loyal customer!
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. while driving 40 mph, the brakes failed. when the contact attempted to brake, the pedal traveled to the floorboard. the contact almost crashed into another vehicle due to the failure. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that a new master cylinder and abs bleed motor unit needed to be installed. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer and dealer were not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 147,013. the consumer stated no warning lights illuminated when the failure occurred.*js
Brakes quit working while executing a normal stop. pedal to the floor. replaced all brake components and after a month of repairs mechanic said car is not fixable that i need to junk the car. upon further research i discovered that many other vehicles with the same make and model have the exact same problems
I was driving to work through a busy town i was preparing to stop at a stoplight and my brakes went to the floor there weren't any signs of brake issues prior so i assumed the brakes needed replacing so when i got off work i went and bought brakes my husband was gonna put them on when he checked he said the brakes were fine that the fluid could be leaking the fluid level was fine and no leaks were found he still looked for one just in case so next he said it could be master cylinder and reservoir i was looking online at this point and seen all the same issues others were having as well with this suv i told him there wasn't any need to spend more money because the way it sounded was that its not gonna fix the issue any how because ford itself can't figure out why brakes are going to the floor themselves so i'm left with a unsafe vehicle to drive with a payoff of 10000 dollars what do i do? i'm so tired of getting screwed that i'm abt to hire an attorney and find out why am ...
