Your brake pedal is losing pressure and responsiveness, starting intermittently when hitting bumps but now completely failing. You've already replaced the brake pads, rotors, and calipers without resolving the issue. The brake system likely has an internal failure that will require replacing the master cylinder and possibly bleeding the entire brake system to restore proper function.

Your brake system has had repeated problems with the calipers locking up, even after replacing the brake booster, master cylinder, calipers, brake pads, and rotors. The technician suspected the brake lines might be the next issue to address. This is a serious problem that affects your ability to stop safely.

Your 2013 Ford Edge's anti-lock brake (ABS) module has failed, leaving your car without anti-lock braking capability and making it unsafe to drive. Multiple Ford dealerships have told you the part should be recalled and isn't available until next year or later. You've had difficulty getting the dealership to help without first paying diagnostic fees, which you weren't informed about initially. Getting your ABS module repaired or replaced will be necessary to restore your braking system's safety features.

Your ABS (anti-lock braking) control module has failed, meaning your anti-lock brakes no longer work. When this happens, multiple warning lights turn on (ABS, Service Advancetrac, and brake warning), and if you brake hard, your brakes may lock up unexpectedly, which is a serious safety issue. The part needed to fix this is currently on long backorder from Ford, and dealerships are unable to obtain it for replacement.

Your brake pedal went completely to the floor with no resistance, creating a serious safety hazard for you, your passengers, and other drivers on the road. The ABS control module (the computer that manages your brakes) failed and is no longer available from Ford, making your vehicle unsafe to drive until it's repaired. You'll need to have the ABS control module replaced with a functioning unit.

Your brake system has experienced a failure where the valve in the hydraulic control unit (HCU) got stuck after the brake booster was replaced under recall, causing your brakes to fail. You've noted this appears to be a common issue among owners, but it hasn't been addressed with a recall. The dealership quoted you $3,200 to repair it.

Your brake pedal feels soft and sinks all the way to the floor when you press it. This makes it difficult to stop your vehicle properly and is a serious safety concern. The issue likely involves air in the brake lines, a brake fluid leak, or a failing brake master cylinder that needs to be inspected and repaired.

Your brake pedal suddenly sank almost to the floor while driving, making braking feel unresponsive. This happened intermittently at first, then became permanent—and mechanics confirmed the problem exists even though the car's computer showed no errors. Ford dealership and mechanics suspect the ABS control unit (HCU) is faulty, but replacement parts are unavailable to fix it. The issue may require replacement of the ABS hydraulic control unit or a complete brake system diagnostic to identify the root cause.

Your brakes are becoming soft and unresponsive, requiring extra force to stop, and you're hearing hissing sounds while braking. Your engine is also shutting off at red lights with check engine codes related to a lean fuel condition. Your mechanic and dealership have confirmed the brake booster has an air leak that's disrupting engine vacuum and causing the fuel system to run improperly, making the car unsafe to drive in city traffic. The brake booster needs to be replaced with an OEM part.

The 2013 Ford Edge began giving trouble after sitting at an intersection or pulling out of the driveway to enter major traffic. The vehicle would hesitate to accelerate as though it is running out of gas but it isn't out of gas. When you continue pressing on the accelerator it would jerk then accelerate. We barely escaped being hit from the rear because the vehicle died while pulling out onto the feeder, whereupon I struggled to pull into a nearby gas station. The brake pedal is generally stiff but can be depressed, however, in other instances, when braking the brake pedal sometimes becomes hard to depress but becomes easier after the car is driving for a long stretch, such as the freeway. When you start the car the panel is normal but as you begin driving the Check Brake System failure light begins to appear in Red and the ABS light and the oil light. Similar incidents as the previously mentioned situations have happened on numerous occasions.

The brake pedal became stiff. The pedal would depress and eventually stop the car but then occasionally more play would be in the pedal. When the vehicle stopped the pedal would depress further and additional pressure would have to be applied to get the vehicle to stop completely. A service campaign bulletin was issued for my other vehicle ( Feb 20, 2024- Reference Number 13N02), same model, same year for a brake booster replacement, yet no service campaign was issued for this vehicle. My vehicle would not stop completely consistently without stomping on the pedal. My garage informed me to return it to Ford for warranty replacement of the brake booster, just like my other Ford Edge ( same year, same model). Brake fade was noticed in Fall of 2024 and confirmed by my garage in Feb 2025.

Spongy brake pedal while driving. Brake pedal travel almost to the ground when applying the brakes. Issue is cause by faulty hydraulic control unit. This problem occured while on a family trip on interstate US 95 while traveling at 70 miles per hour with my wife and children on board. The malfunction caused me to have difficulty braking and almost caused a major accident when a vehicle suddenly stopped in front of me. I was 10 hrs from home and was forced to travel back with the faulty, risky and extremely dangerous faulty brake system. The problem persists and I will be calling the Ford dealer on 7/7/2025 to have the problem fixed. There were also no warning lights to indicate a faulty hydraulic control unit that could had proven me from driving the vehicle on a 10 hr trip with my family in tow.

Brakes were not functioning properly. Nearly got into an accident because of the increased stopping distance. I was driving on the highway pressed the brakes when a car cut in front of me. Brakes were hard to depress then pedal would go to the floor. Dealer service department indicated that there is a faulty brake booster. Found out that there was a recall / "Customer Satisfaction Program 13N02" on other 2013 Ford Edge vehicles. Called Ford Corporate and they indicated that my vehicle was not covered under this customer service program, even though it was built at the same facility during the same time that this customer service program was supposed to cover. I find it very concerning that Ford has not addressed this issue in a more widespread proactive manner. Clearly my vehicle has the same issue as others that were covered. Getting reimbursed for the cost of this would be nice, but my main concern is that this is a major safety issue that has not been addressed properly and people could get seriously hurt.

2013 Ford Edge Limited Mileage approximately 69,000 Have had issues for several months (2024-2025) with an intermittent soft brake. As soon as I feel the soft or spongy brake I release & pump the brake pedal again & that seems to fix it. April 30, 2025 I stepped on the brake & did not get a good pedal. Pumped the brake again & did not get a good pedal (did this 3 times) then noticed it went real low & it felt like a sensation of maybe pedal feeling disengages or collapsing during failure. The soft brake pedal lasted for the approximately next 5 times I pumped the brake. I have found the 2013 Ford Edge has 465 NHTSA complaints for service brakes, averaging 56,907 miles, with many describing intermittent pedal issue similar to mine. No ABS or any warning lights are on. Checked for recall & don’t see one for this year even tho there have been 465 existing complaints. Have had the rear brake pads replaced. Master cylinder Front brake pads & rotors. Been bled numerous times Brake fluid level is good After researching this issue I have found that HCU/ABS Module issues are most frequently cited as the cause for these symptoms. This is a pricey repair (HCU) & I think that with all the complaints & the dangerous aspect to this it should be a recall that Ford should be responsible for.

Brake booster needs to be replaced because it has failed, making the car unable to stop. This has caused the car to shut off if the brake pedal is pressed to long, like stopping at a stop light. The vehicle is in a Ford authorized service shop and has been confirmed as brake booster failure. The issue started with stalling, car throwing codes such as no oil, hissing in the brake lines, spongy brake pedal, leading to zero ability to stop.

Hi my name is [XXX] and we own a 2013 Ford Edge. VIN # [XXX]. We loved driving it until it broke down on a trip to New Mexico. We were driving along and all the brakes locked up leaving us stranded on the side of the road for 5 hours. We eventually had it towed to our destination, Gallup New Mexico and had it examined by a local mechanic. He thought it was hydraulics and replaced the master cylinder and all the brakes and rotors along with the ABS hydraulic unit. It appeared to take care of the problem but while test driving it was still happening, it wasn’t the brakes it was the anti-lock braking system module (ABS). He tried to order the ABS module but was told that Ford does not make that part anymore and had to try an aftermarket one. Those did not work. I eventually had it transported to my local mechanic in Southern California for $675.00 where he has the same problem, can’t get the part from Ford and aftermarket won’t work and is currently looking for a used module that will work on my car. Why would you stop making this part knowing there is a problem with it and not have an adequate replacement for it? We have been without this car for over 6 months and are very frustrated with Ford. I am at a loss for words and at a loss on our next steps as we have a vehicle we love which we cannot get fixed. I am asking for any advice, relief or how we can get our car fixed before it becomes worthless and we cannot recoup any of the money we have had to put out for this fiasco! We have put out over $4,000 including rental car costs! Update: I send ford a letter they responded but their stores did not work to get the parts. It has been almost 1 year now and the car is still not running. My next step is to drop it off at the Ford Dealer but I'm afraid they will charge me more than it is worth just to look at it.

Brake Boost issue with my 2013 Ford Edge Sport. When attempting to brake, there is very little stopping resistance. Even at slow speeds, it takes a dangerous amount of time and distance to bring the vehicle to a stop. While braking, a hissing noise can be heard from the brake pedal area, and the brake pedal presses easily to the floor with minimal resistance. Upon researching the issue, I discovered that this is a very common problem with this vehicle. A certified mechanic diagnosed the issue and stated that this is a known problem and may be covered under Ford's Customer Satisfaction Program 13N02. While this is a known and common issue that is covered under warranty when the vehicle is under 10 years from warranty purchase date or under 150,000 miles, the Ford Dealership is fighting me on this and is refusing to assist in correcting this safety issue. If a vehicle has already exceeded the time or mileage limit and is part of the incremental launch population, this coverage will last through November 30, 2025. Coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent owners. Brakes began failing around July/August of 2024. Due to financial hardship, I cannot afford this repair on my own. Driving this vehicle in this condition is extremely dangerous for myself and other drivers on the road. I've had to veer off of the road or into other lanes in order to avoid a collision with vehicles in front of me because it takes an extremely unreasonable distance to stop the vehicle with a bad brake booster many times already; It's only a matter of time before I encounter an unavoidable collision due to bad brakes. Please advise on who I can talk to about getting this issue fixed under warranty, or at no/reduced cost.

Now brakes are locking up at random. Happened while going 70 mph with family in car and wheel was shaking and very unsafe. My year model (2013) is not included in the extended warranty for the brake booster (13N02) anymore since it was made in March of 2013.

The brake booster on my 2013 Ford Edge Sport has failed, leading to significantly reduced braking performance. This creates a dangerous condition requiring excessive force to stop the vehicle. Over the past few months, I have narrowly avoided multiple accidents due to the inability to stop safely at stoplights. On several occasions, I was forced to swerve off the road to avoid collisions. This issue was diagnosed by a certified mechanic, who informed me that brake booster failures are a known problem in this vehicle model. Although I was made aware of Ford's Customer Satisfaction Program 13N02, Ford's customer service indicated that the warranty had expired, and the dealership refused to repair the issue at no cost. As I cannot afford the repair myself, I am forced to continue driving the vehicle in its unsafe condition, putting my safety and the safety of others at risk.

1 month after replacing the break booster, the modules that control the ABS system went out. I have taken the vehicle to multiple mechanics and no one is able to get the part. They said Ford is no longer manufacturing the replacement. When I called the Ford dealership and tried to get it repaired, they said the part is on back order with no date for when it will be available. I am now forced to drive without ABS breaks and I worry about having to slam on my brakes and my car sliding out of control.

I’ll cut right to the facts. Last weekend my wife and I were driving on the highway in our 2013 Ford Edge [XXX] ed on the brake pedal as we neared our exit – WE WERE NOT SLOWING DOWN - we found ourselves with what seemed to be NO BRAKES again I repeat NO BRAKES. Immediately sheer panic hit me as I pushed the brake pedal to the floor and held it there. Luckily we were FINALLY able to stop without creating an accident. I’ll fast forward to cause of the problem – A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER – Which was identified by Ford in their Customer Satisfaction Program13N02 – issued November 27,2013. Our vehicle was not was not included so we were not notified of any potential issue. As a result I not only got THE SCARE OF MY LIFE (and that’s an understatement) BUT on top of that a $1,100.00 bill to replace a part that was clearly known to be defective. AND you put mine and my wife’s life at risk, never mind any innocent people we may have hurt as a result of an accident.

She hit a bump in the road and the brakes went to the floor again when she tried to stop. She has no warning lights that appear. The dealer states that there is no recall for this issue.

Purchased 2013 Ford Edge AWD Limited used 12/17 with 68,XXX miles. [XXX] began experiencing brake issues. When trying to stop brake pedal went to floor not slowing/stopping vehicle. Vigorously pumping brake stopped vehicle. Took vehicle to neighborhood shop, was informed of recall 13N02. Contacted Ford National Service center (800) 727-7000, confirmed my car covered by recall. Recall work was performed at Bellevue Ford, 411 116th Ave NE, Bellevue, WA 98004, United States, on September 28, 2020. Recently, [XXX] problems reoccured, this time brake failed and vehicle would not stop at busy Seattle intersection fortunately I wasn’t stuck/struck by other vehicles. Subsequently I again called Ford National Service center and was informed that recall/replacement parts are only warranted for 24 months. My car is currently in shop (for 3 days so far) . It seems that the brake booster that is the recall issue affects the entire braking system and pieces of the diaphragm within replaced brake booster are carried to the master cylinder, thru the brake lines and also affect the antilock computer components. Additionally, the Ford manufactured ‘replacement parts’ are often themselves defective. BRAKES ARE ARGUABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY SYSTEM IN A PASSENGER VEHICLE! Obviously Ford has manufactured and is aware/responsible for this un-safe condition. They chose to ignore this situation. It seems Ford only manufactured 129,000 2013 Ford Edges. There are thousands of brake issue complaints listed the internet and many hundreds of Safety issues reported here at NHTSA. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS LIFE SAFETY ISSUE.

On Tuesday 10/17/2023 I was driving my wife's 2013 Edge on dry pavement at about 40 mph. A deer came from nowhere and I had to slam on the brakes HARD to barely miss it. The car slowed for a split second and then the Front Right Tire locked up and the car went into a full, fast moving slide uncontrollably into the middle of the oncoming lane which had 3 vehicles coming straight at me. I grew up driving cars without ABS and I knew to immediately let off the brakes to regain control and whip the car back in my lane before I caused a head on collision and double rear end collision between the 3 cars coming at me. I missed the oncoming lead car by only a few feet. My collision would have had a combined impact speed of 60 to 70mph. I was SHOCKED! I took the car to my long time mechanic and he drove it easily reproducing the same result. He was also SHOCKED and completely baffled because the car had no codes in all of his testing. He called Ford and searched all the repair forums, and technical bulletins and found nothing. I took it to another repair shop. They were also SHOCKED and suggested I take it to a Ford Dealership. I took the car to the Ford Dealer I purchased it from. They were SHOCKED and refused to return it unsolved. Early on a regional Ford Tech told them that they don't get involved in cars older than 5 years.They had the car for over 5 WEEKS and tried everything they could including donating all ABS components from a 2014 Edge that they had in their loaner fleet. Eventually they tested the other Edge with the computer hooked up and were SHOCKED to discover that it DID THE SAME THING. We all wished we had tried this first. They talked to Ford Engineering and were told that this is NORMAL operation for this car. Some people may never have to hit their brakes as hard as I did that day, but if they do, it could be CATASTROPHIC. I'll bet there's data out there to confirm this has caused many BAD accidents!

Our 2013 Ford Edge (FWD) suffered a failed "Brake Booster" on or shortly before June 15, 2023 at 101,900 miles. The vehicle was cautiously driven immediately to the local selling dealership because of the immediate safety risk of brake failure. The vehicle was manufactured/assembled at Ford's Oakville assembly plant in June 2013. We purchased/took delivery of the vehicle in August 20143. The brake booster was replaced by the local/selling dealer at our cost of $1,374.41. Shortly after the repair, we discovered via an online forum that there had been a Ford Motor Company "Customer Satisfaction Program (No. 13N02)" letter sent to "All U.S. Ford and Lincoln Dealers" dated January 9, 2014, extending warranty coverage to "...10 years of service or 150,000 miles." We were never informed by the selling dealer or Ford Motor Company of this program. The equipment/vehicle failure was within the extended warranty period. When we raised the issue with the selling dealership, we were referred to Ford Motor Company ... to no avail. We do not have the resources to take legal action against the selling dealership and/or Ford Motor Company to recover our expenditure. This was/is a vehicle safety issue. Fortunately, nobody was killed or injured due to this equipment failure. HELP!

Brake pedal goes to the floor with much reduced braking power. Then problem may go away for awhile, but then always reappears. Starts at intermittent, but eventually becomes permanent. Had brakes and rotors replaced which did not help. Had Master Brake Cylinder replaced which did not help. Determined to be the ABS/HCU unit internal valves getting stuck "open" which allows the brake fluid to bypass the brake system which causes low brake pedal and loss of brakes. VERY costly too have repaired and parts are not readily available. Many 2013 (and other years) Ford Edge owners are experiencing this problem as can be seen by the many YouTube videos identifying this problem. Ford should replace the defective units.

The brake pedal will slowly continue to the floorboard and then I have to almost pump them to resume the stopping mechanism.

The brake pedal became difficult to depress at very low speed and rendered the vehicle difficult to completely stop. There was no warning light or other indication of defect. At one point I could have potentially had a collision with another vehicle at an intersection when I started to go but stopped. The brakes worked normally at higher speed. I took the vehicle to a repair shop which said the brake power booster was bad and needed to be replaced. Before the work was commenced I ran the VIN through both the Ford and NTHSA websites to see if there was any recall or other information on this problem and found nothing. After I got the car back I did some research on the issue and found there was a problem with this part in the same year and same plant where my vehicle was manufactured, to wit 2013 in Ford's Oakville plant, and that Ford had given extended warranties on the brake booster part to 150,000 miles on certain vehicles made in the plant but not mine. Reference number is 13N02. I have written Ford about this but they disclaimed responsibility.

In my experience, as I was driving the vehicle in July of 2021, I pressed on the brake pedal with my foot and the vehicle did not stop. I rolled directly into an intersection. Thankfully I was not traveling at a high rate of speed and no one was coming in the opposite direction. This could have 100% caused a serious accident. I feel extremely lucky that it did not. I have 2 young children that were in the vehicle. There was absolutely no prior warning that there was any issue with the brakes or anything else for that matter. According to the independent service center that the vehicle was taken to, the problem was confirmed to be a faulty Brake Booster. The Brake Booster was replaced for a total cost of $743.81 including parts and labor which I paid for out of my pocket. I am the second owner of this vehicle which I purchased in earlier in 2021. At the time of the repair I was not aware of the fact that Ford Motor company had issued an extended warranty for the Brake Booster (which has since expired). I only found this out in August 2023 when I brought my vehicle in for inspection. I have tried to contact Ford Motor Co regarding this issue and I have requested a reimbursement for the parts and labor which has been denied (even though the repair was made within the extended warranty period).

* Brake booster failure. * Ford posted a letter dated 1/9/14; it’s a Customer Satisfaction Program (CSP) 13N02 for “certain” 2010-2013 Edge and MKX vehicles; an extended warranty coverage for brake boosters. * Vehicles covered; “certain” vehicles built at the Oakville Assembly Plant from 5/3/10-3/28/13. * The program extends the coverage of the brake booster to 10 years of service or 150,000 miles from the warranty start date of the vehicle, whichever occurs first; it is a one time repair program. * Reason for additional coverage; brake booster may develop a small tear in the diaphragm; if this happens there is a “hissing” noise when the brake pedal is depressed and there is also a “spongy” pedal feel. * Service action; dealers will replace the brake booster at no charge. Details about my 2013 Edge: * It was built in Nov 2013 at the Louisville Assembly Plant. * I purchased it in April 2014; a little over 9 years ago. * It has almost 77,200 miles. * My brake booster has a “hissing” noise and a “spongy” pedal. Why does this CSP extended warranty only cover vehicles built at the Oakville Plant and not other plants? I “assume” my Edge has the same brake booster in it as the ones built in Oakville. That’s the only reason mine is not covered. Ford obviously knows they had problems with these brake boosters but only provided the extended warranty to vehicles built at the Oakville Plant. Why? I think it should cover ALL brake boosters from the manufacturer who made the ones for Oakville regardless of where the vehicle was built. What difference does it make where a vehicle was built if it has a defective brake booster? Please review and assess the situation and advise at your earliest convenience. Thank you.

While driving on 2 lane highway coming to a Stop sign, brake pedal depressed all the way to the floor without fully stopping vehicle. There was a hissing sound when depressing the pedal. Had to implement the emergency parking brake in order to stop completely. There were no warning lights and this has not happened before. I drove it home with hazard lights on and at every stop I pumped the brakes, heard the hissing sound but pedal goes to floor. When got home I checked brake fluid reservoir, it was full. I do not see any fluid leaks on driveway. I checked a Ford forum and see many incidents like this described, too many. Apparently this is a known issue by Ford and there is a TSB 13N02 (brake booster). This could have been a horrible incident if there had been other cars in the intersection.

The abs module has gone bad numerous times and is in a shop again for the third time in two month. I've havent been able to drive my car for two months at first it was the master cylinder and then the abs unit and then the brake booster and now the new abs unit again! After extensive research my husband and I found that this is very common in my vechile model but not enough cars to be issued a recall. Which I think is a massive safety issue because your brakes are very important. If your brakes fail you, you could not only injure yourself and your passengers but others around you. Right now my vehicle is at my local ford dealership and they also agree that this is a very common problem and ford isn't recalling them and making customers pay thousands of dollars for the new part and service. I was even told some times you don't get a working abs unit and have to keep going through the service part warranty until you get a good one. Which I feel causes more lost time with my vehicle staying in the shop until I get a good one.

Three times over the past month I have experienced a soft brake pedal that would go all the way to the floor and the vehicle would fail to stop normally. The first two (2) times where at low speed approaching a gas pump. More frighteningly the third time was at 45 MPH with my young daughter in the vehicle and evasive maneuvers had to be mad to avaoid a collision. After the first time I had the brake pads changed. Earlier on the day of the third incident my vehicle was at a national service center for a brake inspection, because of the alarm from the second incident, and no issue was found. The issue is completely random with no noise, dash lights, warning, or indication of impending failure at all. I have read multiple accounts of 2013 Ford Edge drivers with accounts matching mine detail for detail. Reports of multiple brake booster and master cylinder replacements and HCU replacements with no success. This is extremely dangerous and will eventually result in the loss of life for someone. This needs to be addressed by Ford via recall immediately.

The brakes failed to function with no warning whatsoever! The pedal immediately went to the floor with no result. This would have cause an accident had we not been on an empty road with no traffic. The vehicle is available for inspection. The is a HUGE risk to the safety of my family and other drivers and pedestrians who might be struck by a vehicle that cannot stop. This can definitely result in severe injuries or death. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop where the problem could not be duplicated, even though they tried by slowly driving the vehicle for 2 days. For precautions sake, the rotors and pads were replaced and the brake system components checked and fluid bled. We then took the vehicle back and drove it for about a week in various traffic situations without incident. Today, the same failure occurred. By shear grace of God, we were on a road with no traffic again! I have now been reading all the reports on this NHTSA site and am extremely concerned that NHTSA has not forced a recall. This is clearly a repetitive and frequent issue. with Ford Edge vehicles! DO SOMETHING NOW BEFORE SOMEONE DIES OR IS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

My 2013 Ford Edge is making a hissing noise when the brakes are applied. It has been a few months; I’ve tried to brush it off that it was just my imagination because my brakes are working (for now), there is nothing leaking, but now there is also a jerk feeling. As I’m driving and then slow down, somewhere between 35-40 mph, there is a little jerk or “hiccup” feeling. I have noticed that sometimes the pedal feels hard to press. I’m worried what is going on will eventually cause my brakes to fail and cause injury. Nothing has been inspected yet, but I did research and see that there is a recall for this exact problem. However, I have not received anything in the mail regarding this. I looked up my VIN and found there are 0 recalls for my vehicle. I believe that my vehicle should be included in this recall.

We began experiencing a "hissing" noise when the brake pedal was depressed. Additionally, the pedal feels stiff, and occasionally the brakes will not engage at all without significant pressure being applied to the brake pedal. We took the vehicle to a Ford dealership, they ran diagnostics, and they confirmed that the brake booster is failing. We discovered that this was a known issue with 2013 Ford Edge vehicles. Ford has a Customer Satisfaction Program (13N02) that was published in its TSB (SB-10054925-6246). This CSP recommends that the brake booster be repaired and extends warranty coverage of the part for certain "2010-2013 model year Edge and MKX vehicles built at the Oakville Assembly Plant from May 3, 2010 through March 28, 2013." I have been told by Ford Motor Company that my vehicle is not covered under this CSP because its VIN was not identified as being affected and, while it was made at Oakville, it was made in November of 2013. Therefore, according to Ford, they are not liable to cover the part replacement despite the fact that the issue we're having is the same issue that Ford has identified in other vehicles of the same make, model year, and built at the same assembly plant.

5 times in the past 2 years I lost the brakes. Each time the car was going at low speed coming up on a stop sign or traffic light, probably 10-15 mph, and hit a pothole with brakes lightly applied. The ABS kicked in on each of those occasions. The car could still be braked, but the pedal immediately went to the floor and stopping distances were increased. The first 4 times it happened, the brakes returned to normal operation after the car sat overnight. After the 4th time I learned that there was a 10-year brake booster extended warranty, so I had that done and all was fine. On the 5th time, just recently, I was again approaching a light in a construction zone at very slow speed, with the brakes lightly applied. I hit a shallow trench that had been dug in the pavement, and the ABS kicked in and the pedal went to the floor. I still had braking power, but it seemed worse than the other 4 times. Unlike those times, the situation did not resolve after the car sat overnight. Brake fluid was filled to the "fill line" and there did not appear to be air in the lines, and there was no leakage of fluid anywhere. I brought the car to the Ford dealer and was told it was an HCU (hydraulic control unit) failure. I searched online and was appalled to see how many people have had the exact same issue, and some reported serious accidents and injuries. Ford says there is a "national backorder" on the HCU, and they have no estimated ship date. In short, my otherwise perfectly good car has become worthless because Ford can't supply the part and it is too dangerous to drive, and I can't trade it in with this defect. I'm fortunate that there was no accident, but I believe this is a very serious safety issue that seems to have been known by Ford for some time. I'm sure you've had similar complaints, and the extent of the problem will become clear with a 5 minute online search. I sincerely believe this is a safety issue that deserves a recall. Thank you.

The Brake Booster continually fails on this vehicle. It is part of a much larger issue that Ford has acknowledged. On more than 30 occasions the brake booster has failed causing the brakes to fail. The latest happened today (03/30/23) when I had to brake hard to avoid a near head-to-head collision. This time, when the brakes failed I had to swerve into oncoming traffic, then back into my lane after passing the vehicle that came into our lane from a cross street. We were going UNDER the speed limit, which is 45MPH at that intersection. I was finally able to stop after using the manual shifting option to downshift and slow the car enough that the brakes would actually work. The pedal went to the floor when I had to hit the brakes hard to try and avoid the oncoming vehicle. When I contacted Ford I was asking about: Extended warranty coverage on brake booster Campaign# 13N02 I was told by Ford that this vehicle is not covered under this campaign, even though it states that the vehicle must be no more than 10 years old (it is a 2013 vehicle, AND sold as a 2013 vehicle by description from Ford Motor Company) and it is under the 150,000 mile limit. There are a LOT of people that are facing this issue as well, ergo the campaign from Ford. THEY recognize that this is an issue - this should be a recall, not some sort of campaign that Ford is using to try and avoid one. The three of us nearly lost our live THIS time when the brakes failed. How many people WILL die before this actually becomes a recall? The same should be said of the Ford Campaign #19N09 - Door latch failure. The door could come open while driving under this campaign. These should be recalls that Ford MUST fix. Please do not let my Granddaughter get into a crash because of this. She is our ward because of Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Scoliosis and other issues that she faces in life.

Upon occasion brakes go all the way to the floor and require pumping to get them to work. This does not happen on a regular basis but if the car is not driven eg overnight brake failure will happen 50% of the time. Once pumped up then everything will be ok. Except if we are are on a long trip with few stops or need to break, then the problem will re-occur. No leakage that we could find. The Ford dealer that we bought the EDGE, - new and always had it serviced could find no fault. A week or so ago I took it to another dealer. The Ford service manager, drove it around for 30-40 minutes, I was with him. A minor failure did occur. They kept it for additional days and determined front calibers was most likely the problem.

As of today, 12/01/2022, Moyer ford is telling me abs modules are on back order with no ETA. Ford knows this is major brake issue but not addressing it! Now when abs part does come in, that’s another $800 out of my pocket, total of $1700 that Ford is ignoring and don’t even have the parts to fix! Major concern!

While driving my 2013 Ford Edge Sport down the highway at 60mph the traffic light changed to yellow and then red as normal. When I went to apply the brakes the brake pedal suddenly lost pressure and went to the floor before the vehicle was able to stop. By this time I was in the middle of the intersection. By some miracle I was able to avoid a potentially serious accident as luckily no cars were in the intersection. The brakes were fine one moment and then no brakes the next with no warning lights or error codes. The brakes haven’t changed since then. Still no pressure and I’m afraid the drive the vehicle. My vehicle has yet to be inspected/diagnosed, but after doing extensive research online I’ve found that this is a very common problem with the ABS system. Apparently the valves get stuck open allowing fluid to flow freely past them and the system needs replaced. How is this not a safety issue. I’ve read that so many people have almost been in serious accidents were death could potentially occur. I don’t understand why this has not been recalled. The brake fluid is at normal level and the brake booster was previously replaced by Ford a couple years ago. In that instance the brake pedal was very hard and the vehicle would not respond to braking. That issue was fixed by Ford on their dime and I was told it was some secret or unpublished recall on certain vehicles, depending on where they were manufactured. This is gross negligence on Fords part and can’t wait for someone to sue the pants off them.

They inspected the vehicle and later called and said brake booster was bad. With no signs or warnings of failure I find this a safety issue . Ford replaced parts and Now we are back to having the pedal on the floor with very little pedal at all.

HCU unit master cylinder and brake booster failure all at one time (ford knows of this issue that’s why there’s a recall on the brake boosters ) I was driving with my family in the car going about 70 mph down the highway and the brakes gave out causing them to go to the floor and barley able to stop super spongy and barley made it home without using the e brake the next day we limped it to our local dealer ship and they said the HCU unit brake master cylinder and brake booster had to be repair due to no fault of our own now this repair wasn’t cheap at all at a cost of 2000 dollars. Always have had the dealership service the vehicle when it was due or recommended . We’ve never had an issue with the brakes on this vehicle before no warnings no nothing just cruising down the road had to hit the brakes due to traffic and nothing, very scary and the HCU units master cylinders and brake boosters in these cars need to be recalled due to safely issues not just for the drivers and passengers but for everyone around on the road . Think god I was able to stop if not we would have ended up in the back of a 18 wheeler in a fiery crash and wouldn’t be able to type this complaint . The units were inspected and was told they need to be replaced but dealership service advisor said they see them all the time for no apparent reason just driving and a failure occurs.

We were driving in the mountains and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor before engaging. This caused us to almost hit a vehicle in front of us, swerved successfully, but then my wife and I have whiplash pain from the instant, hard stop. Took it to a Brakes Plus and they said air in the lines was the cause and flushed the lines. Worked for a few days, then almost got into another accident with the same issue of the brake pedal falling to the floor before engaging. Took it back to Brakes Plus and they notified us that Ford is well aware of this issue and extended the warranty of the Brake Booster, which is known to fail. Took it to Ford, they happily replaced the brake booster, under the warranty, but then said this is not the issue, we need to replace the HCU Assembly and replace the master cylinder. Which, conveniently, is not under warranty. Ford is playing with peoples lives, knowing having faulty parts installed on vehicles and not taking ownership and replacing the parts needed to safely operate their vehicles. When I asked if I can complain, they gave me your web-address instead of trying to make things right. The only response I received worth a penny, is keep your receipts, maybe we can reimburse you, if I/m not dead, when we decide to take ownership.

The brakes on my otherwise perfect 2013 Ford Edge recently went to the floorboard while I was driving. The first time, I could have killed a pedestrian--which should shock everybody including Ford. The second time, I could've killed several people in the car in front of me and started a deadly chain reaction. Ford dealers have told me that there is a recall on the 2011 & 2012 Ford Edges for a replacement of the ABS module--BUT NOT FOR MY YEAR! People are going to die if the greedy Ford is not FORCED TO RECALL THIS YEAR TOO. I've been told by numerous independent mechanics and have spent hundreds of dollars which leaves the brakes still not working properly. Ford dealers have quoted me $2000 + to replace the ABS module (ECU & HCU). I am a senior citizen and cannot afford anything near that. PLEASE ... PLEASE HELP ME AND DEMAND THAT FORD RECALL THIS POTENTIALLY LETHAL DEFECT IMMEDIATELY.

While making a right turn and using the brakes at the same time, the brake pedal goes to the floor all at once. Then I pretty much have no braking at all. Goes to the floor and slowly comes to a stop.It went to 4 different shops because none of them could find a problem. No warning lights on dash. No codes showing up. Brakes bled, booster and master cylinder replaced and it still went to the floor. My insurance was contacted and the booster had extended warranty. I watched videos on Youtube and saw where mechanics found out it was due to the ABS pump unit. Valves are sticking inside this $500 part. I went in reverse about 15 mph and slammed the brakes, the pedal came back up and felt fine for a few months. It has now happened again and I cannot get the pedal to return this time. I am retired, disabled and on a fixed SS income with no savings and cannot get this fixed without getting a loan. Personally, I think this should be a recall, because if you research Edge forums and Youtube you'll find it happens a LOT. I love my Edge and want to keep it, but not without brakes. I've been driving it scared and real slow just to go to appointments. It's dangerous, but I have no other way. The ABS module is at fault. If I were younger I could tackle this myself and save labor cost, but I have COPD and NSCLC, on oxygen. Please, research this.

In my almost 30 years of driving I have NEVER experienced something so terrifying! I literally could've died (or caused a collision with another person, endangering everyone involved). I immediately took my car (2013 Ford Edge Limited) to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle (Valencia). They tell me it's the HCU (Hydraulic Control Unit) and will cost me $2,000 to replace! This is an OBVIOUS safety issue and a matter of life or death. Upon doing more research, I have discovered that this is an ongoing issue with Ford vehicles and I feel it is UNACCEPTABLE to allow people to be put in these types of situations KNOWING of this defect! And to not recall/repair the issue?! Shame on Ford! Something needs to be done. They are putting everyone's lives and safety at risk! I purchased my car new on Labor Day 2013 so I've had it 8.5 years BUT it only has 42,000 miles on it! And it is very well-maintained and in immaculate condition. There were no warning lights or sounds or anything. Just no brakes. On a CANYON road! I feel this is absolutely unacceptable and now I am not even comfortable driving my own car anymore!

When applying the brakes on my 2013 Ford Edge the brake pedal sinks to the floor (soft fading pedal). This always occurred following a quick hard stop, such as is required to avoid an animal or other unforeseen road hazard. Deliberately pushing the brake pedal with another quick, hard application (i.e. slamming the brakes) would then alleviate the soft pedal issue temporarily, only to have the entire scenario repeat itself. There are no warning lamps, messages or indications that there is a problem. The service department at Sunrise Ford in Fort Pierce, FL confirmed the problem and replaced the brake booster in accordance with Customer Satisfaction Program 13N02 (occurred on 3/5/21 at 81, 896 miles). Replacing the brake booster did not fix the problem. In fact, the soft fading brake pedal sinking to the floor is now continuous, and happens upon every brake application. This most definitely is a safety issue that endangers the vehicle occupants and all others on the road in the vicinity to include pedestrians. It puts everyone at risk because a soft fading brake pedal that goes to the floor delays the braking action of the vehicle, hence a longer stopping distance and possible collision. I have an appointment with the Sunrise Ford Dealership and I have stopped driving this vehicle until the manufacturer/dealership can provide a solution. A manufacturer safety recall is absolutely necessary.

The brake pedal is going all the way to floor and struggles to stop the car. With no brakes could cause a major accident. Don't trust driving the car. Has not yet been taken to mechanic or dealer. Research recalls and issues and sounds like this has been a major safety issue that Ford Motor Co. has tried to avoid with some Edges built in that year. Again, no one has inspected the vehicle yet but has ALL symptoms of the posted recall. There was no warning lights.

When my check engine light came on I took my 2013 Ford Edge to my regular mechanic. I was having problems with the brakes causing the car to stall when stopped with my foot on the brake. It was also difficult to stop since the brake pedal would not engage & when it did it went to the floor. It was the brake booster which I paid $966 to have repaired. I later learned that this was under a Ford recall 13N02 for 2010-2013 Edge however my vehicle was not covered because apparently it wasn't built in the Oakville plant!! I feel this should be covered regardless of where my vehicle was built since the issue involves the exact problem described in Ford's "customer satisfaction program 13N02"

The ABS Hydraulic Control Unit went bad in my car. i made an appointment with ford thinking that it was the brake booster because it’s listed as a problem with those cars but it ended up not being that. i was driving and was cut off and brake checked and when i went to slam on my brakes they went straight to the floor and luckily i was able to swearve and miss intime. ford told me what the problem was and they will be fixing it for over $1200. i read multiple entries of people with the same car having this problem and even with serious injuries as well and this is a very dangerous saftey issue. i checked all my system lights and the section for the brakes still said OK just like all the other categories. the fact that the car can’t even recognize the problem makes it so 100x worse. this was the scariest experience i’ve ever had and was able to come to a stop off an exit with my e-brake. this needs to be addressed, how many more people need to wreak and get hurt before it gets taken seriously. this needs to be recalled.

After purchasing my 2013 Ford Edge SEL from a used car dealer, I noticed that the car would brake it self and come to a complete stop at 55 miles an hour. This scared me so I went to the Ford dealer Riser Ford in Hot Springs Arkansas about the problem. The dealer told me that no codes came up for the brake problem and nothing could be done until a code came up. I took the care to my mechanic and he told me that after driving the car himself he checked the temp on all four rotors and the front drivers side rotor was 30 degrees warmer than the rest. So either the sensor or module must be bad. This vehicle is dangerous to drive when your brakes lock up at high speed or at any speed. Ford should be sued for not correcting dangerous equipment.

This time longer to get the pedal back-stopped the car and pumped up the brakes. Took me about 15 min to get any pedal back. 3rd time was just 2 days ago-Started to brake at a red light and no pedal. Pulled off and tried to pump up the brakes again but nothing happened. Waited 30 mins on the side of the road to get my brakes back. Each time my speeds were different-15 mph-60 mph-45 mph.

My 2013 Ford Edge SE Brakes failed in April of 2021. I first had brakes checked after failure incident I was out of town in Salina KS. LAGROON AUTO SVC INC said found nothing, repaired wheel bearing LR $448.71. Had another near miss accident in Kansas City, MO a car ran in front of me car brakes failed to stop, I swerved into next lane in front of car in that lane to avoid accident. Called MOBILE AUTOMOBILE MECHANICS OF KANSAS CITY, I was told it was Brake Master Cylinder and would cost $1,100.00. I rejected that cost. I took vehicle to AAMCO AUTO REPAIR. Brake Master Cylinder was replaced for $387.01. Brakes failed again next day had another mishap with braking. Returned vehicle to AAMCO. Diagnostic done. I was told it was the Anti Lock breaks, and I need to take vehicle to dealer. I took vehicle to Dealer THOROUGHBRED FORD. I gave them diagnostics from AAMCO. I was told there was a Brake Booster recall on my car, and looks like that is maybe what the problem is. Make appointment. I brought car in was told further inspection showed it not brake booster, it is HCU HUDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. Make another appointment will cost $1,600.00. I cannot afford that much more money. I went home looked on internet about 2013 Ford Edge HCU, found that failed HCU Is a common problem for this vehicle. I called other brake repair shops to see if could get better price was told due to pandemic parts were backed up and would be several months before could receive part. I was in several near misses of having an accident in an fairly new 8 year old vehicle. There is no recall on HCU when this is a common problem that can potentially cause someone their life, like it almost did me.

Power brakes will randomly fail, without any warning. Safety of driver and passengers, as well as other motorists are in danger with this problem. Master cylinder and brake booster are operating correctly. Abs pump motor is the problem. A valve is sticking inside it, causing brake fluid to bypass the brake calipers line and just go open loop in the abs circuit. Google and YouTube is full of the exact same problem. Factory part(s) did not even last 10years or 150,000 miles. Completely unacceptable for the most important system on a vehicle. No lights are on, basic scan tool finds no codes. Advanced scan tool finds a abs soft code:coo20:13-28. Ford wants over $3000 to fix with the exact same part that will fail again without notice.

This is a vigilant preventative report. There aren't any warning lamps, failures or messages yet and I sure am glad. But the symptoms were noticed on May 21, 2021 after I returned home from getting my emissions done. I noticed both front tires were streaming wet with liquid and at first I thought I had run over something. Then today May 30, I needed to run to the grocery store but before I left I had my son look underneath the hood because I thought maybe a fluid or freon may have caused the scene but soon found out that there is no way for any fluids to penetrate to the tires because there is a solid panel separating the mechanisms underneath the hood from the wheels and tire. That made me take a closer look at the inside of the wheel covers/caps and low and behold you can see because of the dark color of the fluid in the wells of the wheels; brake fluid has been spewing now, both times as far as I can tell. I don't know how long it takes for the fluid reservoir to become empty, but I sure wouldn't want to be driving my vehicle when that happens. So this is in my opinion a "Life or Death" Safety Hazard and would really be appreciative for an immediate response! I need your suggestion as soon as you're able to, what should be my next step. I am a senior citizen and I purchased this 2013 vehicle as my future retirement vehicle in 2014 and retired in 2017. I believed it would be a nice, sturdy well-built and reliable vehicle for years to come. I've owned many a vehicle and have never had any major brake issues during all those years, just regular maintenance on brakes and other expected low maintenance. Never anything of this magnitude to put my life in danger. Wow! An 8 year old vehicle with just under 73,000 miles on the odometer driven less that 50 miles per month, I wouldn't have ever thought this could happen. Hopefully, there is a Safety Recall for this model as well. Still researching....

IN SEPTEMBER 2014, FORD HAS ISSUED A "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION" NOTICE REGARDING THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON BRAKE FUNCTION COMPONENT. NOTICE ID :13N02. THE ISSUE WAS POSSIBILITY OF BREAK BOOSTER PREMATURE FAILURE LEADING TO UNPREDICTABLE BRAKING PERFORMANCE. THERE ARE 2 SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH THIS NOTICE: 1. THE PART THAT FAILS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN TREATED WITH IMMEDIATE RECALL INSTEAD OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OFFERING - AS THE FAILURE OF THIS PART LEADS TO UNPREDICTABLE BRAKING PERFORMANCE AT AN UNPREDICTABLE TIME FRAME. 2. IT ONLY COVERS VEHICLES PRODUCED BETWEEN CERTAIN DATES, WHILE THE REAL EXTENT OF FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENT GOES WAY BEYOND THE SCOPE COVERED IN THIS NOTICE. I OWN A 2013 FORD EDGE TRUCK WITH PRODUCTION DATE OF 06/13. THE MILEAGE ON THIS VEHICLE IS UNDER 58000. ABOUT A WEEK AGO THE BRAKING FUNCTION OF THIS CAR HAS FAILED SIGNIFICANTLY LEADING TO A NEAR CRASH SITUATION. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING CLOSER TO A TRAFFIC STOP AT ABOUT 20 MPH AND STARTED GRADUALLY APPLYING BRAKES AND TO MY SURPRISE THE CAR KEPT ON MOVING WITHOUT ANY NOTICEABLE BRAKING APPLIED. REALIZING THAT, I PRESSED THE PEDAL MUCH HARDER TO A DEGREE THAT WOULD BE CLOSE TO ACTIVATING ABS AND ONLY THEN THE CAR CAME TO A HARD STOP. AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS I STARTED RESEARCHING ONLINE AND HAVE LEARNED ABOUT FORD'S NOTICE OF EXTENDED WARRANTY ON BRAKE BOOSTER PART FAILURE - 13N02. I HAD EXACTLY THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED IN THIS BULLETIN. UPON VISITING DEALERSHIP, THEY REFUSED TO SERVICE MY CAR UNDER THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY AS MY CAR WAS JUST OUTSIDE THE PRODUCTION DATES COVERED BY 13N02. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS ISSUE IMPACTED A MUCH LARGER NUMBER OF FORD EDGE 2013 OWNERS, WHOSE SAFETY CONCERNS ARE PLAINLY IGNORED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY SAME AS IS MY CASE. BOTH DEALERSHIP AND THE FORD HOTLINE REFUSED TO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER CARE WHO CREATED A CASE # FOR ME AND SET ME UP WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT MY DEALERSHIP TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR WAS IDENTICAL AS THOSE THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY RECALLED AND SUBMITTED THIS CLAIM BACK TO FORD CUSTOMER CARE AS BEING A VALID ISSUE TO BE REPAIRED. FORD CUSTOMER CARE SENT A RESPONSE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP STATING THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OFFER ANY HELP THROUGH FORD LOYALTY OR FORD ASSISTANCE ON MY REPAIRS. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TOLD ME THAT FORD HAD IN THE PAST AGREED TO PAY SOME THAT WEREN'T ON THE RECALL LIST BUT DENIED OTHERS AND THEY WEREN'T SURE WHY. THAT IS REALLY UPSETTING....WHO DETERMINES WHO THEY SAY YES TO AND WHO THEY TURN AWAY? WHY EVEN ASSIGN A CASE # AND SET YOU UP WITH A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR IF THEY ARE KNOWINGLY GOING TO DENY YOU? MY FAMILY IS A HUGE FORD FAMILY. THAT IS THE ONLY TYPE OF VEHICLE WE EVER PURCHASE. WE'VE SHOWN DECADES OF CUSTOMER LOYALTY TO THEIR BRAND AND MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN LOOKING TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE AS WE SPEAK...BUT THIS ISSUE AND BEING DENIED ASSISTANCE FOR AN ISSUE THAT IS WELL DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY IS GIVING US NO CHOICE BUT TO LOOK OUTSIDE OF FORD AT OTHER MANUFACTURERS FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. THIS HAS DISAPPOINTED OUR ENTIRE FAMILY AND COST FORD A LOT MORE THAN THE COST OF THIS REPAIR!!!

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE PEDAL FEELS SPONGEY AND THE CAR FEELS AS IF IT IS NOT GOING TO STOP. IN ORDER TO MAKE IT STOP, YOU HAVE TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES THAN NORMAL. I FIRST NOTICED IT WHILE I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, BUT IT ALSO OCCURS ANY TIME YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. WE TOOK IT IN TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE POWER BOOST WAS BAD AND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE EDGE. WE THEN TOOK IT IN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS THE POWER BOOST PROBLEM AND THE MASTER CYLINDER MIGHT ALSO BE AFFECTED. WHILE SEARCHING ONLINE, WE FOUND THAT IT IS INDEED A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2010-2013 FORD EDGE. OUR COMPLAINT IS THAT IF THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE CARS, WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. WE ALSO FOUND THAT FORD WILL COVER THE REPAIRS FOR THIS PROBLEM ONLY IF YOU HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. UNFORTUNATELY, WE DO NOT HAVE ONE AND THEREFORE MUST PAY THE ENTIRE COST FOR A DEFECT THAT IS KNOWN TO OCCUR WITH THESE CARS. MY 2013 EDGE HAS ONLY ABOUT 50,000 MILES AND I FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD BE RECALLING AND FIXING THIS DANGEROUS FLAW. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR FORD'S MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

EACH TIME I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP MY 2013 FORD EDGE ON CITY STREETS AND ON INTERSTATES, THE BRAKE MADE A HISSING SOUND AND WAS DIFFICULT TO PUSH TO STOP MY VEHICLE. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM JUNE 21 2018 SHORTLY BEFORE GOING OUT OF TOWN. UPON RETURNING, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR JULY 12. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. MY VEHICLE'S COMPUTER SYSTEM SHOWED THAT MY BRAKES WERE OKAY, SO THIS MAJOR REPAIR OF $732 SURPRISED ME. AFTER RESEARCHING THE FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13NO2, I DISCOVERED MY VEHICLE WASN'T INCLUDED IN THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR BRAKE BOOSTERS. THE EDGE MANUFACTURING CUT OFF DATE WAS MARCH 28, 2013 AND MY EDGE WAS MANUFACTURED MAY 2, 2013. I CONTACTED THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO EXPRESS CONCERN THAT MY EDGE EXHIBITED THE SAME BRAKING PROBLEMS AS THOSE THAT WERE COVERED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM.I WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER AND WAS TOLD MY CASE WAS ESCALATED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO WOULD REVIEW IT. MY RECEIPT FROM THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS FAULTY AND I CALLED FORD'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHEN THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETE. I WAS TOLD THAT FORD WOULD NOT ASSIST ME FINANCIALLY WITH ALL OR PART OF THE COST TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER. BECAUSE OF MY RESEARCH, I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY 2013 FORD EDGE OWNER WHOSE FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED AT THE OWNERS' EXPENSE. THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE VEHICLE DRIVER AS WELL AS OTHERS ON THE ROADS.

AFTER LOOKING INTO IT, I FOUND THERE WERE MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH A 2013 FORD EDGE AND THAT THEIR VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IF A HUNDRED PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR CAR (SAME MAKE, MODEL & YEAR) IT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE WERE MORE CARS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

AT APPROXIMATELY 76,000 MILES, MY 2013 FORD EDGE'S BRAKES FAILED. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES WERE HARD TO PRESS & THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN. I PRESSED DOWN HARDER & CAME TO A VERY HARD & SUDDEN STOP. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONE FOLLOWING & I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I SLOWED & WITHIN A COUPLE OF SECONDS BRAKES BECAME RESPONSIVE AGAIN. I NEEDED TO GET HOME SO I DROVE AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE STAYING AWAY FROM OTHER CARS, HOWEVER BRAKES WORKED WITHOUT ISSUES. APPROACHING HOME THERE WERE MULTIPLE STOP SIGNS & AGAIN THE BRAKES LOCKED & THE CAR DID NOT STOP. I ALSO HEARD A LOUD WHISTLING NOISE IN THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER & EVEN THOUGH THE DEALER SAYS THEY KNOW BRAKES ARE FAILING IN THE 2010-2013 FORD EDGES, THERE IS NO RECALL, ONLY A CUSTOMER SERVICE PROGRAM THAT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VIN. THIS PROGRAM NUMBER IS 13N02 AND EXTENDS THE COVERAGE OUT TO 150K MILES ON SELECTED VEHICLE'S. I CONTACTED FORD @ 1-866-436-7332 TO EXPRESS MY PROBLEM & CONCERN. I SPOKE TO 4 DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIVES THAT ALL RECITED THE SAME SCRIPT. THE SCRIPT BASICALLY SAID SORRY YOUR CAR IS EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM AND TO HAVE A CERTIFIED FORD DEALERSHIP FIX IT AT MY COST. APPARENTLY SOMEONE DECIDED THAT THE EXPENSE OF THE ESTIMATED NUMBER OF PEOPLE THEY PUT AT RISK OF DEATH OR INJURY IS STILL LESS THAN WHAT IT WOULD COST THEM TO FIX THEIR FAULTY BRAKES.

BRAKE BOOSTER ON FORD EDGE FAILED SUDDENLY AT 60-70K MILES. NOTICED IT SUDDENLY WHEN DRIVING THE CAR ONE AFTERNOON. AT THE FIRST STOP LIGHT, HAD TO STOMP ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE CAR TO A STOP, BECAUSE NORMAL BRAKE PRESSURE HAD HARDLY ANY EFFECT. KNEW SOMETHING ELSE WAS WRONG, BECAUSE BRAKE PADS AND CALIPERS WERE RECENTLY REPLACED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE COVERED UNDER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N02, HOWEVER MY VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE 5/3/10-3/28/13 MANUFACTURING WINDOW COVERED BY THE PROGRAM. THEREFORE FORD HAS REFUSED TO FIX MY ISSUE. THIS IS INSANE SINCE MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AND WITH THE SAME PARTS AS THE OTHER VEHICLES COVERED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE BRAKES ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO ENGAGE FULLY. THE PROGRAM ALSO STATES THAT "THE FUNDAMENTAL BREAKING SYSTEM REMAINS FUNCTIONAL" AND "THE EFFORT REQUIRED TO STOP THE VEHICLE WILL INCREASE GRADUALLY" IN REALITY YOU HAVE TO STOMP THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITH HARD PRESSURE TO SLOW THE CAR EVEN A LITTLE BIT. I WOULD NOT CALL THAT "FUNCTIONAL". PEOPLE WILL PROBABLY DIE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. AND IT'S RECKLESS FOR FORD TO HAVE PICKED SOME ARBITRARY MANUFACTURING DATES TO BE COVERED. POSSIBLY THEY HAVEN'T RECEIVED ENOUGH COMPLAINTS YET FROM THE ONES PRODUCED JUST AFTER THIS BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL A LITTLE NEWER? THIS IS *TR
