Edge 4-cyl

  • 55,000 miles
The contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal felt soft when depressed, causing the stopping distance to be extended 200 feet. The low brake fluid message appeared on the instrument panel. The contact pumped the brake pedal several times to regain normal function and veered to the side of the road. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The contact stated the failure reoccurred several times while driving. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 20V469000 (Service Brakes, Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the dealer informed the contact that the part for the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The contact was still awaiting a call back from the manufacturer. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000. Parts distribution disconnect. After three weeks of not examining the car the dealer decided to put the car on the rack where they discovered the problem being the brake master cylinder and booster. The dealer said our warranty would cover it and they were going to get the parts. There was not a recall on the issue but hearing conversations in the dealership convinced us that the issue should be a recall. We were provided a rental car for 5 days. After we pushed the issue Ford agreed to provide a rental car 60 days because parts are not available. Different stories were told about the part availability until I did research and found tools were available but dealers were not selling or sharing because they have the same issues. There should be buffer on service part tools and the Ford dealers are attempting to contain the situation in house instead of escalating the problem. Currently there are two unresolved issues 1. Recall for brake lines where we were told they had parts and to bring car in. Got to dealer and there were no parts. 2. Dealer inspec
