This is in reference to Field Service Action 13N02 with codes P2195 and P2197. There was an extended warranty, but I never knew that as I bought the vehicle pre-owned. I am a college student and the vehicle poses a danger as I am not able to stop every time. I called the local Ford dealership, and without even looking at the vehicle. He said, yes we know about the issue, but it's to late for you to have it repaired for free. I am filing a complaint with with the Wyoming Attorney General as well, and looking into a civil action. I want to make sure I document everything in case there is a serious injury or death.

This issue happened back June 2025 when I make a wide turn, the car automatically go into limp mode and all the lights on the dashboard that is related to the brake system comes on, so for example, the advanced traction control sensor, the brake mode, the traction mode and the ABS mode and this is very dangerous because I realize when I am driving locally, and if I’m in the middle of a major intersection, I can be struck because I would have to immediately turn my car off turn it back on and then it will start moving again. Sometimes it takes a while for it to start moving again.

As I applied the brakes to stop the vehicle, the vehicle didn't automatically stop. It felt as if I didn't press the brakes. The vehicle continued. I will take the vehicle to the mechanic. The vehicle hasn't been inspected yet. There were no warning indicators.

ABS module valves stick open resulting in low soft brake pedal. Master cylinder has been replaced and vacuum bled with problem still occurring. I feel this is a safety item and ford should stand behind this issue till the end of service life of the vehicle. the repair part is hard to find and expensive.

My brakes are hard as a rock cause me to use more force on the brakes to stop and there is hissing coming from brake booster when I apply the brakes on my vehicle causing prolonged stopping distance called ford and they said there was no recalls on that vin which their "recalls is vin specific" yet all the vehicles use the same brake booster that is installed on this vehicle. It was hard to stop even going at low speeds under 10mph

I have a 2011 ford edge sel the brakes are hard as a rock causing more force to be used to stop the vehicle even being driven under 5mph. This is a major saftey issue that should've been in ford's previous recall. The vehicle was manufactured at the Oakville plant in Canada which was ford's recalled vehicles. I contacted ford and they informed me it was vin specific which my vehicle wasn't covered by the recall but yet it's having the same issues as the others that were recalled from the same assembly facility. I was told to take it to a dealership and keep the receipts of it being fixed just incase there is a recall on the vehicle later on. I'm not the only person having issues with these issues with less then 200,000 miles on their vehicles. Ford knew there was a problem with the vehicles which they should have recalled all the ones from that assembly plant and fixed them.

When applying breaks in the snow, the antilock breaks fail. I loose control of breaking and car acts like the breaks are gone. This has happened many times in the snow. Car has been tied several times for no breaks. When it gets to the shop breaks are working. Shop released any air in antilock breaks but this continues to happen when breaks are locked up.

Brakes going to floor and very little stopping power. HCU failure caused by DOT3 brake fluid causing dump valve in block to stay stuck open. 2nd replacement valve from Ford and again it happened almost causing an accident. This issue is becoming to common across these HCU ford uses. This should be recalled and consumers should be advised. Ford advised that we maybe try DOT4 brake fluid and purchase another HCU. This is our 3rd one in 6 years.
