Brakes making irregular noise. Private mechanic ( used to work for Ford) checked them and reports the brake booster is bad. Ford has a customer satisfaction program document 13N02 stating they have identified issues with the brake booster on certain Edges prior to 2015. I have contacted Ford with no luck. Please make sure you are tracking this issue as it seems more vehicles are involved than they want to admit.

Brake booster had a vacuum leak. My car was outside the existing VIN list for recalls and/or "customer satisfaction program". vacuum leak and stiff pedal was most evident at low speeds (near idle and at high vacuum conditions) Ford would not replace my booster. I replaced it myself and found that the oem booster had rusted, where the master cylinder seal (square cross-section O-ring) met, causing the leak and poor braking at low speeds. Master cylinder was in good condition, with no apparent leak - inside of booster was dry and clean. Replacing both the master cylinder and the booster has cured the problem. Problem was first noticed when parked - if my foot was on the brake, maintaining force, when I turned the ignition off, the vacuum immediately bled off of the brake booster, causing the pedal to rise and stiffen. Inspection of the booster prior to replacement did not give any evidence of an obvious problem (that is, no hissing or leaking sounds were present) the problem became more apparent over time (over the past 18 months) and got to the point where I felt that I did not have sufficient braking power to stop the vehicle at lower speeds - thus, my decision to replace the booster and master cylinder. In the last few weeks, the leak must have been getting worse, because the pedal was getting harder and harder to push down, with pedal effort increasing as the vehicle speed dropped (like approaching a stop sign) I am strong enough to push hard - but a small or frail person encountering this problem may not be able to stop in time.

Brake pedal is soft, sometimes goes all the way to the floor and makes a hissing sound. Some break function is lost. We had new brake pads and rotors, and the problem persists. Our mechanic tells us that it is the brake booster. Safety is now a great concern as it is now compromised. Occurs when the vehicle is in motion, regardless of location on city street, highway, or turning.

Edge

Brake booster. I have a 2010 Edge that had a recall on the brake booster. The Ford website listed the recall for 2010-2013 but for some reason my vehicle wasn't part of the recall and I need to know why especially when it states that fsa VIN list will not be activated for the service action. This was a very dangerous situation I was put in and I'm being told that the recall is not on my VIN. My brakes made a "hissing" sound when pressed and to get the car to stop I had to press very hard with both feet. And this didn't happen over time. Within a week my car went from braking normally to having to fight to stop my car.
