Brakes went out on me as I was driving through beach traffic full of pedestrians and people stopping quickly for a parking space. Had to go to the floor with them to get the car to stop. This is a known (except to me... I never got a letter) problem involving the brake booster and also possibly the head control unit. I've paid $3,000 in repairs for brakes on a car with 136,000 miles on it.

Brakes went out while in motion and pedal is like a sponge and will not engage. Brake booster was replaced under Ford customer satisfaction program in Nov 2019 now Oct 2020 same problem. Not safe to drive can not stop with in 10 feet.

While driving our 2013 Ford Edge the brake pedal all of a sudden went almost to the floor to stop the car, and made a hissing noise when the brakes were applied. This 2013 Ford Edge had a similar problem last year when my wife almost hit a wall and we had a power brake booster installed March 23, 2019. I was told by Ford it was not part of the recall that they issued based on my VIN back in March of 2019. Now in October 2020 the same issue has returned and I need another power brake booster installed. Ford says that it is not a design issue, but the car has 58,000 miles and is now having a third power brake booster since new. My wife does not trust the braking system based on this.

My husband and I have financed a 2013 Ford Edge last year 2019. The same year the break pedal goes strait to the floor. It is now September 2020 and is still having the same problem. We have replaced the break booster just last week and the problem still remain the same. Sometimes the break light message will come on in dah board and sometimes not. I called corporate in mi, and got the run around around about my vehicle. There are no recalls on this situation and they want us to buy an extended warranty on the break booster. They claim I cant take my SUV to closest Ford company to get it inspected for free. We spent hundreds of dollars on this same problem. They said keep your receipt. I did my research and the kelly blue book states reviews of the same issues, that I am having. I have children and is afraid to drive my vehicle at all times. This is a safety issue, not just for myself and the family but for other drivers on the road. Ford need to recall this issue and they don't want to acknowledge that this is a huge safety risk. I am still paying on the car currently with another year of financing to pay off the car. I am afraid that I will get into a accident and hurt myself, family and others on the road. I can not afford this problem anymore. Please help me get this resolved.

2013 Ford Edge sport currently at around 48K miles. (today date: Sept 10, 2020). While braking I noticed a hissing/air leak sound, and the brake gets harder to press at certain speeds. Didn't think much of it until I searched the internet. I read on several forums that this is a very common issue for this year and model. I also saw that there is a "customer satisfaction" program 13no2 which provides an extended warranty for the brake booster on the Edge/mkx 2010-2013. I contacted Ford via twitter and apparently my car doesn't qualify. How the does it not qualify!? this is clearly a widespread common issue for this year/model and is an extreme safety hazard!!! its my first and probably last Ford ill purchase. How can a company be so dismissive of this problem on their family vehicle. Greed, that's why. This needs to be recalled or at the very minimum the "customer satisfaction" program needs to be expanded to all Edge/mkx vehicles! recently the problem has now started to cause my vehicle to stall out when idle at stop lights/signs (another symptom of a bad brake booster). This is very unsafe! obviously I'm going to get this repaired but I shouldn't have to since Ford got cheap with their supplier of this defective part.

- Shreveport, LA, USA

While driving on a city street, my brakes stopped functioning properly and the brake pedal felt spongy and made a hissing noise when I pressed down on it. Ford has issued extended warranty coverage (13N02) for this exact problem but denies it for my car, even though it is the same make/model/year that has had the issue. Many others have had the same issue and are denied the extended warranty as well. They know they have a problem but wont fix it. That is extremely dangerous

During a two hour road trip, exited the highway (65 mph) and went to apply brakes while driving straight, only to have the pedal go nearly to the floor with significant loss of braking. Over an extended stopping distance was able to get the car to slow down and get it under control. Luckily no one was in front of me. Pulled off road, rested a few minutes with car running. Cautiously returned to the road and brakes began operating normally again. Had previously happened to wife (five months earlier) while driving approx. 30 mph and brought to independent mechanic who couldn't replicate the problem and said brakes checked out fine. This is an intermittent problem just waiting for a tragedy to occur.

- Reading, MA, USA

Our Edge passed 100K miles without any real issues. Soon after 100K, we started having issues with the brakes at low speeds (<10ph). Stepping on the brake would not immediately stop the car and we really had to push it down hard to get to a jerky stop. Over the course of 2-3 days, we started noticing it when decelerating from higher speeds. When we took it in, we were told it was the break booster and was very common for this year, make, and model. I can't speak for any more about issue, but see that it is common among the complaints here.

- Scottsdale, AZ, USA

Upon applying brakes, there was a hissing noise. When putting vehicle into park, there is a high pitched whine. When driving, sometimes the vehicle stops normally, sometimes the brake pedal feels spongy, sometimes I had to stand on the brakes and hope it would stop. Several times, I thought it was not going to stop. I have read that this vehicle make has experienced multiple years of manufacturing with the same problem: Faulty brake booster. There have been recalls for the same vehicle make for multiple years. I contacted the Ford Motor Company's customer service on multiple days only to be told that there is no recall available for my VIN number. There is a noticeable pattern here, one that can be traced to the use of faulty brake boosters. Someone could die as a result. Please help me fix this continuing problem.

My brakes aren't working properly. Very dangerous. I'm told it's a brake booster, some 2013 Ford Edge have been recalled but not mine! the brakes feel very squishy and will not stop car quickly, especially going downhill. I'm very afraid to drive it. My car is still under 150,000 miles and 10 years. Other 2013 Edges are being covered under extended warranty and csp 13 N02, but not mine.

I was coming to a stop light on city street after going approx 35 mph and when I pushed on the brakes, my foot went to the floor without the brakes working. This happened a couple of times in quick succession. Then on 3rd attempt, the brakes worked. This has happened to me 3 times in past 6 months.

Brake pads had been changed 8/19. Beginning 7/20, considerable effort was needed to engage the brakes. The pedal would be nearly to the floor before fully engaging. With the car in motion, we were concerned that we wouldn't stop in time.. the car was taken to our auto shop where the mechanic discovered there was a problem with the brake booster. He mentioned that ours was the third Edge he has worked on with this same problem.
