These vehicles are equipped with air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, used as original equipment or replacement equipment (such as after a vehicle crash necessitating replacement of the original air bags), that may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, temperature and temperature cycling.
Risk: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Fix: Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the repair has been performed. Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began February 13, 2019. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall 19S01.

The recall began on May 10, 2016. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 15S31.
Owner-Reported Issues (20 of 672)
Service Brakes →10 issues
Your brake pedal feels unusually stiff when you press it, and your car doesn't slow down as much as it should. This problem has happened multiple times at various speeds. The issue hasn't been diagnosed or fixed yet. A brake system inspection and possible replacement of brake components like pads, fluid, or the master cylinder may be needed to restore proper braking function.

Your brake pedal became stiff and wouldn't move down when you pressed it, leaving you unable to stop your vehicle. You crashed into HVAC units in a parking lot, sustained injuries including whiplash, and the airbags didn't deploy. A mechanic found that your brake booster had failed and needed replacement.

Your brake booster has failed, which means your brakes may feel harder to press or less responsive. This is a known issue with 2010 Ford Edges, though Ford says a recall doesn't apply to your vehicle's VIN. The brake booster will likely need to be replaced to restore normal braking function.

Your brake booster isn't working properly, which reduces your braking power and makes stopping less responsive. This is a known issue on Ford Edge models and poses a safety risk if not repaired soon. The repair typically costs around $900 and will likely involve replacing the brake booster assembly.

Your brake pedal didn't stop the vehicle when you pressed it while driving, which caused you to rear-end another car. Although neither vehicle was damaged, this brake failure at 59,000 miles is a serious safety issue. The vehicle hasn't been diagnosed or repaired yet, but Ford is aware of the problem. You'll need a complete brake system inspection to identify and fix whatever prevented your brakes from working.

Your brake booster is leaking, which means you need to press much harder on the brake pedal to stop your car, and it takes longer distances to come to a complete stop. While your brakes still function, this significantly reduces your ability to brake safely and quickly in an emergency. Fixing this will likely require replacing the brake booster unit.

You're hearing a high-pitched noise coming from inside your car near the brakes, and your brake pedal feels harder to press than normal. This suggests your brake booster may not be working properly. Ford has a customer satisfaction program (13N02) that offers extended warranty coverage for brake boosters, and you're asking whether your 2010 Edge qualifies for this coverage. Fixing this will likely involve inspecting and possibly replacing the brake booster.

Your brake power booster is failing and needs to be replaced. There's an active recall for this same problem on 2010-2014 Ford Edge and MKX vehicles, but your Edge wasn't included in that recall even though it has the same issue. Your brake system will need professional inspection and the power booster component replaced to restore proper braking function.

Your brakes took longer to stop and made a hissing sound when you applied them. A mechanic determined that your brake booster had failed, which required replacement along with the stop light switch. While a recall existed for some 2010 Ford Edges, your vehicle's VIN wasn't included. The repair will involve replacing the brake booster and stop light switch, which requires significant labor time.

Your brake booster is leaking, which can reduce your braking power and make it harder to stop your vehicle. This is a safety concern that needs prompt attention. Fixing it typically involves replacing the brake booster unit.

Air Bags →3 issues
Your vehicle has two open airbag safety recalls that need to be addressed, but your local Ford dealership has refused to perform them. You'll need to contact Ford customer service or find another authorized dealership that will complete these mandatory safety recalls on your behalf.

You received a notice that your airbag needs to be replaced, possibly because it has expired. Airbags can lose effectiveness over time and may not deploy properly in a crash if they're too old. Your Ford dealer can inspect the airbag system and replace any expired airbags to restore your safety protection.

After having your air bag system repaired under a recall, the air bag warning light came back on just 3 miles after pickup, showing a fault code B2293-03. The repair shop is now charging an additional $200 diagnostic fee to investigate the problem they just worked on, and your car can't pass inspection until the light is cleared. The repair likely involves re-diagnosing and correcting the air bag system circuit or sensor connection that wasn't properly fixed the first time.

Engine And Engine Cooling →2 issues
Your car developed a serious problem where coolant leaked into the engine oil, which two independent mechanics confirmed requires complete engine replacement. This typically happens due to internal engine seal or gasket failure. The repair will likely involve removing and replacing the entire engine or performing a complete engine overhaul.

Your engine started overheating while driving at 40 mph, and you discovered coolant was leaking from the vehicle even though no warning light appeared on your dashboard. A mechanic diagnosed the problem as a leaking water pump. The repair would likely involve replacing the water pump and checking the cooling system for any other damage.

Seat Belts,seats →1 issue
Your driver's side seat belt has frayed severely, leaving only about half an inch of intact webbing near the buckle. If you were in a crash, the belt could snap and fail to protect you. Ford refuses to replace it under warranty because it's past the 6-year coverage period, and replacement belts are no longer available from Ford, making repairs extremely expensive or impossible.

Structure,vehicle Speed Control,service Brakes →1 issue
While driving, your Edge suddenly accelerated on its own and the brakes failed to work properly—the brake pedal went all the way to the floor without stopping the vehicle. The dealer inspected the car but couldn't find the cause of the acceleration or brake failure. During that service visit, the dealer also discovered significant rust on the vehicle's subframe. The issues remain unrepaired.

Structure →1 issue
Your car's undercarriage has rusted through completely, causing a major structural failure that left you stranded on a busy street. The dealership estimates repairs will cost around $8,000 and cannot guarantee the damage will be fully fixed. Addressing this will likely require extensive undercarriage replacement or welding to restore structural integrity.
Parts you may need:
As an Amazon Associate, MyCarTSB earns from qualifying purchases.
Steering →1 issue
Your car has a faulty steering angle sensor that causes the brakes to suddenly apply and the steering wheel to jerk when turning curves — but only if traction control isn't turned off at startup. You ordered the replacement part from a Ford dealership, but Ford has discontinued it and it's no longer available anywhere. Without this sensor working properly, your vehicle's traction control system behaves erratically, creating a safety concern. The repair would require replacing the steering angle sensor (part #8t4z-3f818-a), but that part is no longer manufactured or available for purchase.

Service Brakes, Hydraulic →1 issue
Your brake pedal feels harder to press than normal, requiring extra pressure to stop the vehicle. A dealer diagnosed that your brake booster has failed, which reduces the power assist to your brakes. The manufacturer confirmed your vehicle isn't covered under related service bulletins. Replacing the brake booster should restore normal brake pedal feel and function.
