My brakes are going all the way to the floor just every once in a while, but wow, my vehicle is in park and running, my traction control light comes on the only way to get it off. Is to turn the ignition off and back on.

break booster

- Wichita, KS, USA

There was no warning stated in the dash, but I went to drive my car one day and the brakes were sunk to the floor. I drove it around carefully for a little bit and realized the brake pedal built pressure if it was constantly being pressed, however, it would lose the pressure instantly. I got the brakes bled and replaced a brake line since I had replaced both of the rear calipers prior (no issues there and no issues with brake pads or the brakes themselves). A few weeks went by and I lost the pressure again instantly. I called the mechanic to take a look and they replaced the brake booster and master cylinder and bled the brakes. The brake lines/hoses were fine with no leaks. I picked the vehicle up and the brake pedal is still soft and mushy with no pressure building. I am scared to drive it in case I accidentally hit someone and it is currently winter (snow & ice). I have new tires but I fear the brakes will give out on me soon. I don-??t think these parts are up for inspection or whether the issue is with the abs module or the HCU, but it appears to be a common issue with 2012 ford edges and other years. The time frame for this is all within 10 weeks since I wasn-??t driving my vehicle for about 4 weeks.

Brakes malfunction, the vehicle experienced an apparent loss of brake pressure, resulting in the brake pedal sinking to the floorboard before the vehicle came to a complete stop. A technician serviced the car on three different occasions, replacing the brake booster and bleeding the hydraulic system on 9/11/2023. The problem persisted, taking car to technician for further analysis on three separate occasions, noticing a strange noise while pressing the brake pedal, described as a -??wind blowing-?? noise. After more work, brake malfunction happened again on 1/3/2024.

The brakes extremely stiff while being depressed. While backing out of garage ended up in side lawn. I have to use an excessive amount of force to break normally and avoid a collision with another vehicle. A local service technician diagnosed the issue and determined the cause to be a faulty brake booster. The technician recommended replacing the brake booster. He noted that his internet search was flooded with complaints about this situation and he showed me where q Ford dealership had fixed the problem by replacing the brake booster under Customer Satisfaction Program 13N02. I tried calling Ford to see if they would replace the booster under this program and because and Ford told me the age of my car and mileage was outside scope of this program. Cost precludes me from fixing this. Disappointed in Ford. Will keep using excessive force to brake.

- St Charles, IL, USA

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving downhill and depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal became very soft and extended to the floorboard. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who replaced the brake master cylinder, brake pads, and calipers; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the mechanic who serviced the brake lines and informed that the brake booster might also be faulty. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle did not qualify for the manufacturer's warranty campaign to replace the brake booster. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 143,000.

I am one of thousands of people who have had the power brake booster fail on their Ford Edge. Initially, my vehicle failed to stop at an intersection when another vehicle was running the red light, and I was nearly t-boned. The brake pedal was almost impossible to press in. I thought the issue was due to the icy conditions at the time and some problem with the ABS. This summer the real problem became apparent as the brakes have started squealing and hissing every time they are pressed, and the pressure required to come to a full stop varies from nearly none and jerking to an immediate stop to the point I am barely able to press the pedal hard enough to get it to stop at all. Sometimes both situations will occur during one stop, and the brake pedal will go from excessively resistant to dropping to the floor, at which point I will lose all stopping power momentarily while I let the pedal slowly hiss back into place and press it again. The first time that happened, I was trying to stop for a bike that started to cross without waiting for the crosswalk signal, and I nearly hit them. Ford-??s site states I-??m covered under the CSP for this part, but I am unable to find a dealer willing to provide the service as they believe the CSP only covers 10 years after the model year (my mileage is under the 150k limit). Whether or not that-??s true, a CSP is insufficient in this scenario as a quick internet search shows power brake booster failure is very common in this model line and it is unequivocally a life and safety risk.

Intermittently when you hit a bump, the brake pedal goes to the floor and may stay that way for a couple of days and then it comes back. This is the second brake booster ford replaced, I see that brakes are a constant problem on these vehicles, this repair is costing me a $1000 the car only has 90000 miles on it. My wife is afraid to drive it anymore.

The brakes on this vehicle have gradually become worse over time. Even with replacing the pads, rotors. They are spongy and the pedal drops almost to the floor. This causes a delay in braking.

Summer 2022 my brakes started giving out -?? when coming to a stop, the brake pad goes all of the way to the floor makes a sound similar to a pump or a hiss. It -??corrected-?? itself after a few pumps on the brake peddle after about five minutes. It happened a second time so I took it back to the company who had replaced my brakes 2/3 yrs prior -?? they could not find anything wrong w/them. It happened again, I took car back to same place with same results. Later in the year it happened for a 4th time but did not correct itself as it had in the past, I drove home at 30mph for over 30 minutes leaving a lot of space between myself and cars in front. The car sat for about a month then my brother drove it and experienced the same problem. I had the car towed to a mechanic who could not replicate the problem therefore could not fix what he couldn-??t find but he did bleed the brakes. I rented a car for a short while but when I did drive it again, the same problem occurred and corrected itself. I took it to a different mechanic who also could not replicate the problem, he tried 3 times. I have experienced the same problem at least three times this year, the last time being last week. My and any passengers safety is at risk daily; fortunately, most times I have been parking or on surface streets when this has happened. There have been no warning signs before the brakes give out. I plan on taking car to dealership this weekend.

When braking my brakes hit the floor. I had the booster and master cylinder replaced. 2 years later my car has been at the dealer for 2 months. They replaced the booster again and now say I need a HCU unit. The HCU is on stop sale and now I still am without a car. I have paid $1450 for the second booster so far and if they can get the HCU then it-??s another $1500. My car only has 73,000 miles on

Brake pedal fades to the floor of the vehicle which presents brakes not working. The vehicle has only has a little over 22,000 miles

- Orem, UT, USA

The brake pedal goes all the way to the floor and very little braking is applied to the wheels. The problem appeared while driving. One minute the brakes are fine, the next I have almost no brakes. Very big safety issue! The Ford dealer has diagnosed the problem with the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU). The car had the same issue 5 years ago and was repaired. This is the second time the brakes on this car have failed while driving. No warnings before or after the brake failure.
