The contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, her husband noticed that the brake pedal felt spongy.

The independent mechanic performed a temporary fix to the brake line and the contact was advised to call the local dealer for assistance. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 49,000.

Edge

  • miles
When driving and try to brake noticed that pedal distance has increased and was hard to stop the car. When stopped to review vehicle, noticed brake fluid on the right side of it. Take it to Ford dealer (CrossRoads Ford of Kernersville) and they confirmed rupture on right brake hose. Correction was to replace both front brake hoses. This failure is exactly the same as the one for safety recall "NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V469000". VIN for my vehicle is not part of recall however same failure happens with same risks, showing that Ford fails on tracking/providing accurate VIN numbers for this safety failure.
