Edge

  • 62,813 miles
Started vehicle by pushing the brake and heard a noise. Car started and the brake pedal went to the floor. Computer in car started reading low brake fluid. Had car towed to Ford dealership. Hydraulic break line broke on right front wheel. Car only has 62,000 miles. I believe this is safety defect and Ford should be responsible for correcting this.

Driving vehicle out of development when I experienced the brakes catastrophically fail. I pushed all the way to the floor with little response. The dealer said the master cylinder leaked into the booster causing both components to fail. Over $1,000 on repair and no tangible solution. Fearful!

Edge

  • 6,100 miles
Vehicle vacuum brake booster has a leak that can be heard in the cab of the vehicle. It is not currently covered by the warranty however a vaccum test reveals less than recommended pressure in the system. Brakes are spongy when used. The vehicle in question has 6147 miles. Ford refuses to replace the vacuum booster regardless of multiple technicians reporting the issue and states that it appears to act as designed despite loss of braking power significantly increased stopping distance.
