Brakes felt weak and made "hissing" sound. Took car to mechanic had new front and rear brakes installed. Driving home noticed brakes still felt somewhat weak and hissing sound still exists. Did some research and found Ford customer service program issued for my car due to bad brake booster! never notified about this extremely dangerous issue. Found many posts from people who has serious issues with this. How in the world could the ntsb allow Ford to get away with no recall"?" if someone dies or gets seriously injured from this issue the ntsb will bear some of the responsibility for this for allowing Ford to get away with no recall. 13N02 ' extended warranty coverage on brake booster ' 2010-2013 Ford Edge & Lincoln mkx

I received a recall for the break booster and had it repaired August 2015. In December 2016, the part failed again, as I was driving down the mountain and was out of warranty, had to pay $700 for repair. On March 15, 2017, part failed, while I was parking again, which it is covered by warranty, however, there is something seriously wrong for the brake system to continually fail and Ford does not want to respond to my concern.

It started having problems with the breaks a couple of weeks ago when in the middle of the road the cars brakes failed and when all the way to the end of the pedal. First, I changed the rotors and pedals but it continued to had a problem, went to a pepboys where it was diagnosed a master cylinder problem. Ordered the part and went to the dealer in mayaguez Ford in puerto rico where they installed the part and they told me it had a recall for the booster of the brakes, installed it free of charge, but the same day they changed the parts, I still had the same problems with no brakes for a couple of minutes and then it stabilized. It happens a couple of times a day. Don't know what to do next.

Purchased my 2011 Ford Edge in June/July of 2014 for jc lewis Ford in savannah, ga. Turns out there was an "extended warranty" in place because the brake booster's in this car have been failing. I'm not sure why they would have sold me a car without completing a repair or informing me of the possibility of malfunction. About a month ago, I was driving down the interstate at about 65 mph when I was cut off by another vehicle. When I went to tap the brakes to disengage the cruise control, nothing happened! I had to press the brakes about halfway down to get the cruise control to disengage and, even then, it felt like I did not have power brakes.

The driver side door sensor is bad. The vehicle is unsafe because the sensor remains on all the time even when the door is closed. So if the door is ever open, you would not know because all the sensors are bad so you assume it is just an error message. Also - on this vehicle - the brakes feel spongy at times and are not good, even though having the brakes looked at and they have checked as confirmed sound with new rotors and pads.

Notification of a brake booster failure. My car is serviced regularly and the brakes werelways stated as normal. I seen an alert on your website about the brake booster and when I talked to Ford the woman stated if you are not having problems Ford will not do anything. I guess you have to get in an accident. She did say I could take it to a Ford dealer and have them look at it which means I bear the cost since it is beyond warranty. Since I contacted Ford the brake booster failed and had to be replaced. I nearly got injured as the vehicle would not stop and kept rolling.. there was 81000 miles on the vehicle. Another problem the vehicle is having is a driver side door ajar warning indication. I had it repaired once at 23156 miles. I now have it again. There has to be a defect in the door mechanism. I hear Ford has a fix as a work around. When the brake booster failed the vehicle was in motion and was very difficult to stop as the pedal would not depress and remained hard and full

Lights stay on after parking inside and mirror lights. When driving interior lights stay on til a certain speed but doors do not lock and door ajar light stays on. The doors lock and the door light goes off spontaneously. Also brakes feel spongy and pedal feels like it goes to the floor.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the door ajar warning light illuminated even though all the doors were closed. As a result, the contact was unable to lock the doors. The interior dome light remained illuminated and caused the battery to drain. In addition, the contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed, but failed to function. The contact had to pump the brake pedal in order to stop the vehicle. The dealer diagnosed that the brake booster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired per a voluntary recall by the manufacturer; however, the failure recurred. The dealer diagnosed that the door latch and sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 30,000.

I was at a drive thru and had brakes applied and then I heard a hissing noise coming from brakes I let off brakes to move forward and the brakes went hard and to floor causing me to hit the car in front of me. I took my vehicle to dealer after I left and they said it was a brake booster that had been recalled. I have not received a notice or letter that the brakes were recalled. I now have damage to my front bumper.

While driving the brake pedal began get hard and not depressing applying enough pressure the the brake pads. The harder you push the better they worked so determined the brake booster had failed. The problem was intermittent at first and then became regular. Called Ford service to find out they had extended the warranty on this part but did not do a recall. This is a dangerous part to have fail intermittently as it could go from needing a 100 feet to stop to 100 yards.

On occasion, when breaking at slow speeds (like pulling into a parking space) while depressing the brake peddle, the car will accelerate and lurch forward. My foot was nowhere near the accelerator peddle. This happens about once every few weeks.

I own a 2011 Ford Edge. On June 2, 2016, my husband and I were driving on a highway, when we noticed a sudden problem with the car braking performance; unexpectedly, we started hearing a hissing noise coming from the pedal and the car would not stop; the brake pedal was depressed and failed to respond without warning. Fortunately, the road was not congested at the time, and we were able to slow down without causing an accident. Regardless, this could have caused a serious accident; it's a miracle that no one was injured. This is not the first time we have experienced break problems with our Ford Edge. Last year, during October, we noticed the same problem, particularly an excessive effort needed to stop, additional to the hissing noise. Back then, we took the car to an independent private mechanic to get it fixed, where it was diagnosed that the brake booster needed to be replaced, so we spent a significant amount of money for the replacement. I'm certain this is a design or manufacturing flaw. A recall is defined as any widespread vehicular problem that results in a risk for those in the car. Doing online research, I realized that many Ford Edge owners have experienced the same risky situation. Through the Ford website ' specifically the field service actions page ' I was able to identify that our vehicle was eligible for an 'extended warranty coverage on brake booster'. quite honestly, I was horrified! how come Ford never notified me" why disguise this safety issue as an extended warranty when it should have been a recall" this is simply neglectful. I sent Ford's customer service a complaint email, and a representative called me to vaguely explain the extended warranty terms and to apologize for my inconvenience, but refused to respond in writing.

Brake booster began failing at 24, xxx miles. My wife and our 1 year old son were placed into serious danger. The brake pedal became 'rock hard' and would not engage the brakes. The local Ford dealer diagnosed and repaired this under warranty.

I was driving down a freeway ramp towards a stop light and pressed the brakes. The car didn't slow down. I had to step on the brakes completely applying pressure and the car did not come to a complete stop. There was a hissing noise that I heard from below the inside of my car near brakes. My car provide any warning of malfunction.

I had lost my brakes in Sept, 2015. Had new rotors and pads put on, then noticed that they were going to floor with hissing noise, had 2 brand new master cylinders put on, still no change in brakes, then had them replace brake booster the beginning of Dec, 2015. No change in brakes, they still go to floor, I have put a lot of money into dead end repairs. Ford garage wants another $100 diagnostic fee"? for what? I have gotten no answers, no help. I called Ford who stated that they will communicate with the tech. The techs are saying they have never seen this before, and that the booster should of fixed problem. I have not had my vehicle more than I have. Borrowing cars, etc. Any help?? suggestions"

We were trying to stop at a stop sign, and the car wouldn, T stop. The brake peddle got very hard and wouldn't push down. It went back to normal a few seconds later. There are a lot of complaints and Ford has a bulletin on this problem 13N02, this is a serious safety problem luckily there wasn, T another car coming. Why is there no safety recall?
