Hit a pothole and brake pedal went to floor. I replaced master cylinder last year and new fluids. I bled brakes twice and pedal still going to floor. I’ve been installing brakes for 40 years and this isn’t right. Research tells me it might be HCU unit but I can’t afford $1500. Has this unit been recalled? Way too many people have had this problem with multiple years of ford edge’s.

Power boost problem on my Ford Edge. Why is my VIN not on the recall? I am having this problem as are several thousand of other people. Hopefully this gets properly addressed. Thank you

Every time I press the brakes, there is a hissing sound and the brake pedals go all the way to floor. This causes the vehicle to have low braking power and barely stop. The problem has been reproduced by an independent service center. There are no warning lamps or messages on the vehicle.

There is a CSP 13N02 regading an issue my vehicle currently experincing and is at the dealer for repairs. Im being told Ford issued this CSP for customers with the 2010-2014 Ford Edge but his VIN was not included. I'm being quoted out of pocket almost 2 grand for this repair. My Break pedal goes all the way down to the floor bed having to put a lot of effort in stopping the vehicle. Per the CSP 13N02 If your vehicle is not serviced, the tear will eventually expand and the pedaleffort required to stop the vehicle will gradually increase. However, in all cases, the fundamental vehicle braking system remains functional. In the interest of customer satisfaction, Ford Motor Company is extending. The limited warranty on the brake booster to ten (10) years or 150,000 miles from the warranty start date of your vehicle, whichever occurs first. This is a one-time repair program. If your vehicle has already exceeded the mileage limit, this coverage will last through November 30, 2025.

While driving on a very the busy S-R9 route that I drive daily, my car started to lug, so I had to break really fast, and pull over so I would not get hit from behind, I consider myself lucky I was not on the busy I-15 freeway, because there is alot of construction and I would not of been able to pull over anywhere, and that could have caused major issues. I was able to pull over and go up the street to a Chevron gas station, I pulled up to the gas pumps, to check things out and to get gas, as I was low on fuel. As soon as I stopped, the car would not start up at again, I got out to check the oil, coolant and the battery to see what the issue was, As I checked the oil it was creamy looking, I opened up the oil cap and it there was a white creamy film, I knew automatically the coolant has drained into my engine causing it to seize up. I have Always taken very good care of the car and was always consistent with having all maintenance done when needed. As I have researched, I have read the same issues have happened with other owners with a Ford Edge. I had to have my car towed that day by Get Hooked towing. I feel as there have been the same issues with other Ford Edge engines, it should be listed as a recall as the water pump obviously failed and dumped coolant into the engine causing it to seize. I feel this engine should be replaced by the FORD company. The contact is requesting that an investigation into this matter thoroughly and consider potential remedies for the affected vehicles.

The brake pedal goes to the floor with no warning. It has happened many times before. I'm on my second master cylinder, it has all new brake pads and calipers all the way around. It has been in the shop 4 times and no one can figure out what is causing this. There are no leaks and all the rubber hoses are in good shape.

head lights go out while driving at night hi or low beam auto or manual it does not make any diff .

My rear view video display is displaying upside down. This is a known recall for other Ford edges but mine is not included in the current recall.

Power steering leak(took it 3times to get it serviced), breaks(leak), transmission fluid leak(have to refill transmission fluid every week), electrical (dash board lights go off and on sometimes and do other funny stuff), back up My camera doesn’t work(car has blind spots so I need the camera to work), roof windows (work when they want), trunk door (closes by itself hitting me at closing). Check lights, tire light is on constantly and on since I bought the car, also oil light but now only sometimes since I keep putting oil and transmission fluid. And has something missing on the front windshield and sensor device of some sort And sometimes when I break I feel the vehicle wanting to go faster instead of stopping. Jerks. I took my vehicle to ford and they pretty much ignored me making me there was no solution. No reports or anything. I called several times to take my car to get serviced telling them I felt unsafe but they pretended they couldn’t here me they didn’t want to deal with me cause my vehicle was too old 2011 ford edge limited. I don’t think it’s old I need a little guidance here before I take it to the next step. Please help me fix my vehicle my insurance at the time told me it has two recalls and ford shined me off three or four times telling me no instead of helping

The Ford Edge has a known and documented issue with the brake booster failing and having to be replaced numerous times. I recently had to apply my brakes suddenly to avoid a collision with a car that cut me off. After noticed the brakes lost pressure and appear to be compromised. This is the second time this has happened after already replacing the same brake booster issue less than 3 years ago. While looking online this appears to be an ongoing problem with this make and model but has not been addressed by the manufacturer. This causes safety issues and repetitive - expensive repair issues.

Have a 2011 Ford Edge Limited purchased new from a local Ford dealer. Seems like Ford has had issues with the backup cameras in all models that cameras have been available since 2007, have resisted and continues not to issue a safety recall. Since 2018 NHTSA have required backup cameras as safety equipment in all vehicles. This camera issues is definitely a safety issue. Ford and its dealer will not addressed it unless they charge and excessive amount for the repair running the gamut from $100 to $800 which may or may not correct the problem. NHTSA needs to require and mandate that the Ford Motor Co declared this as a safety recall issue and correct the problem. All their vehicles, new or old, have been having problems with this backup camera safety equipment.

Got my car serviced at AAA Car Care Center. After completed the brakes did not work properly, brought the vehicle back and it was checked thoroughly. AAA came to the conclusion that the brake booster completely failed, all other components of the brake system were checked and working properly. Manager of AAA explained this is a Ford only issue and that it was a common issue with my model. My safety and the safety of others were put at risk as I almost crashed into the back of a car stopped at a light. The problem of the brake booster was confirmed by AAA Car Care Center in Tampa, FL. Vehicle has not been inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the failure.

About a year and a half ago I had a problem in which my headlights and highbeams would turn on but then shut off. If you turned them off and back on, they would come on but go out again. I paid to fix this problem. It's now happening again. It'll be the second time in two years with the same issue. I've searched online and others with the same year car are having the same exact problem. There's no recall listed on this but it's a safety issue that keeps happening. The date of the second incident is 12/5/23.

While coming to a stop, the brake pedal became very hard to depress. After taking it to a service facility, they determined it was the brake power booster and I should have received a service advisory from Fordabout this potential failure with this part. Never received anything about this problem from Ford and after reviewing this problem with other owners on the internet, other people experienced the same problem. It is obvious Ford knows this is a faulty part and is putting people at risk of getting killed without a recall.

The break booster on my car went out, this part has been reported by several people, because it went out it put myself and my family in danger as the car wouldn’t stop unless you put extreme pressure when breaking. This is extremely dangerous and should be something Ford fixes for free! I had to pay $500 to get this part fixed! I was in fear for my life driving my car and this part is supposed to last the life of the car!

Was driving and went to stop for a stop light brake pedal went to floor and vehicle didn't come to a complete stop very close.to causing an accident.

Had car in for oil change,at 85320 mi was told I had swollen lug nuts. I had the replaced

When applying brake pedal it goes all the way to the floor and doesn’t want to stop.

I had to brake fast & hard because of another driver cutting in front of me & my brakes went all the way down to floor, no stopping! Thankfully I was able to pull off road to avoid hitting any other vehicle. I did some research & apparently there are over 300 complaints that have been reported (how many not reported ?). How many more of the same issue does it take to recall? Or does there have to be accidents involved before ford does something? I have had numerous fords, however; due to the extreme safety issue addressed by so many with (thank god just missed accidents) that DOES NOT SEEM TO CONCERN FORD AT ALL FOR OUR SAFETY to recall this BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUE. I will NEVER BUY another FORD unless they do something & if someone gets hurt before they do, I DEFINITELY WILL NEVER BUY A FORD AGAIN! SAFETY & CUSTOMER SERVICE is my purchase of choice.
