Edge 4-cyl

Driving down the road and came up to a stop light and brake pedal went to the floor. It was spongy and squeaked. Pumped the brakes and it stopped. Issue recurred and took to local mechanic who diagnosed it and printed recall paperwork and towed it to Ford. It was the brake booster. Ford "fixed" issue and 3 weeks later the same exact thing is happening and took to Ford. Service member calls and states brake booster is fine from previous repair but it's now the hydraulic control unit and there's an internal leak. Told me it would be $1477 plus tax to fix. I don't have that kind of money laying around especially in this pandemic....what do I do now" I can't trust getting from point a to point B. if I have a local mechanic fix the problem will they charge the same...less...will they do a good job? this should be a recall too. Every complaint I'm reading Ford owners are having recurring problems with the brake booster and hydraulic control unit. How isn't it recalled?? when I get it fixed, because it's the only vehicle I have, will I get reimbursed for repairs without a problem?" this deters me from buying Ford ever again! not to mention my local Ford dealership isn't pleasant to work with!!! I was contemplating trading in this car for another as I love it so much. Not anymore!
