Brakes started losing grip as I entered a 4-way stop. Car barely stopped and brakes worked intermittently after. Brake booster failed. An extremely common problem on Ford Edge cars. Mine missed the chance to be covered under extended warranty by one! month. Lucky the car stopped, unlucky that it was an expensive fix.

Starting a few months ago, the brake pedal on our 2013 Ford Edge went very soft upon braking making the vehicle very difficult to safely stop. Took the car to the Ford dealer and they could find no issues as the problem seemed to resolve itself. The brake issue reoccurred again, but, again the dealer could find nothing as it resolved itself. Last week the issue occurred again. This time, the dealer finally diagnosed the fix as a new master cylinder and brake booster; they are currently making the repairs at a cost of approximately $2,300 (won't have the final cost until I pick it up next week). This is my wife's vehicle and all of the failure occurrences were when she was operating the vehicle. She clearly states that her safety was severely compromised with each occurrence as the vehicle was extremely difficult to safely stop. Additionally, was told by the dealer that although this issue for this model year have been recalled by Ford, our vehicle is not covered. With all of the occurrences of this very important safety issue Ford motor needs to cover the cost of the repairs. A full and complete recall needs to be issued because the vehicle's driver as well as the driving public is at risk of injury and even death especially since the problem is intermittent and when it does occur is a complete surprise to the driver.

A day ago as I was driving my 2013 Ford Edge, I noticed that it took more effort to press the brake pedal and went almost to the floor. When I did this it made a hissing and squeak sound. I brought the vehicle in to be checked at a Ford dealership in Delaware. They told me it is the brake booster and will need to be replaced. They told me the cost would be $1100. I found a Ford customer service bulletin #13N02 that specifically explains what I am having repaired. This bulletin affects 2010 to 2013 Ford Edge for 10 years or 150,000 miles. I was told by the dealership my Edge VIN is not on the list. I called Ford and they are looking into it but they need to cover this as I was told can pose a dangerous situation of the brakes failing.

Brakes are hissing and spongey. I think it is the brake booster. Ford acknowledges the issue with these brakes but says my car is not listed in the recall

- Terlton, OK, USA

2013 Ford Edge current issue: Without any warning brakes started hissing and screeching. In the same day the brakes were hard to press and did not stop the car and then they were loose to the floor, but they did not stop the car. I googled and found out that some vehicles with the same year 2013 have a recall, but my VIN was not included. The symptoms lead to a failing break booster. My cars information system check does not show any warnings, brakes say ok, but I am not able to drive my car. The brakes are not grinding. Twice I had to swerve onto the shoulder of the highway to avoid rear ending the car in front of me. This is frightening to occur to anyone without a system warning.

Brakes became spongy 2 1/2 weeks ago. Took to family mechanic. They were unable to recreate and stayed the brake pads are in great condition. Went on short vacation and the brakes continued to be spongy but not every time. When we returned home it began happening more frequently and a hissing sound began when applying brakes. Then yesterday morning the car shut off in the middle of a busy intersection but restarted after a few minutes. Took it into mechanic again and they were able to recreate both issues. After research they discovered a Ford extended warranty for this issue so I towed it to nearest Ford dealership. Now the garage is telling me it will cost between $800 and $1000 and my VIN is not covered. The info online states it should be covered. I pay my final car payment in 2 weeks and my additional warranty that I purchased ended in May. It seems this is a known issue and should be covered and most certainly should be recalled. It is not due to normal wear and tear. I have owned it brand new and after 7 years only have 30K miles on it. The vehicle is in great condition otherwise. Braking issues almost led to an accident the day before and it shut off with no warning or lights from the vehicle in the middle of an intersection. What if we had been on our road trip and going 80 miles an hour? this is a safety issue. The issue was recreated at the family mechanic in a parked position but for me it was operational.

As I was coming to a stoplight in the city at about 25-30 mph, my brakes engaged for about a quarter of a second, then gave out almost entirely. I had to pump brakes and hit the emergency brakes to stop from hitting a stopped at an intersection. Thankfully I brake early and stopped short a few inches. After inspection the culprit is the master brake cylinder.

- Washington, UT, USA

Brake vacuum booster has failed. Brake stopping effort changes with engine RPM. At low engine speeds, the car appears to have no brakes. No warning lights are given to operator to know there is a problem with brakes. Ford has a voluntary service action (13N02)to cars built until March 2013, but problem still exist in car built in may

After hitting a bump, pot hole, etc. The pedal goes to the floor and is slow to stop, currently, the pedal goes all the way to the floor and is slow to stop, which from what I have read is a common problem, with the hcu and/or power break booster but no official recall has been issued. Although this happened once or twice in December of 2018, it has happened twice in the month of June 2019 and now is currently not improving.

- Pleasant Grove, AL, USA

My mechanic has informed me that my master cylinders are bad. That this part on the Ford Edge leaks fluid into the power booster which compromises the booster's diaphragm and is under a current recall with Ford. I had my power booster replaced last October, because my brake pedal would become stiff and difficult to depress. Since having the boosters replaced, I have the opposite problem. The brake pedal depresses almost to the floor before engaging. Because the master cylinder and brake booster work in tandem, it makes no sense to replace one without replacing the other, especially since it has been noted that the master cylinder is the causation of the power booster's failure. I implore you to issue a corresponding recall for the master cylinder or ammend the recall on the power booster to include this component.

Brakes are not working properly. When I push down on brakes it feels very spongy like there's air stuck in there. Makes a hissing sound. I step on the brakes and it feels like the car keeps rolling. And I have to slam on the brakes.

- Portland, TX, USA

Small tear in break booster. Ford knows about this issue and covered a lot of vehicles in the customer satisfaction program 13N02. My car is not covered even though it was made at the same factory during the same time period of the ones that were covered. It was extremely dangerous when it broke and almost caused me to get in an accident. Ford has refused to do anything even though this is clearly an issue. I found a large amount of drivers that have the same problem I do with their 2013 Ford Edges that were not covered by Ford.
