Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Ford Edge vehicles manufactured February 9, 2015, to August 12, 2016. During dealer servicing, the affected vehicles may be have been updated with incorrect Antilock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) software. This software can cause the ESC system to lose engine torque control, and not provide any warning lamps to warn the driver if there was an ABS or ESC system malfunction. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 126, "Electronic Stability Control Systems" and number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
Fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ABS module, and update the service software, free of charge. The recall begin November 22, 2016. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 16C14.

Owner Complaints (102)
Your brake line on the rear driver side burst without warning while you were driving slowly into your work yard, causing your brakes to fail. The failure occurred during normal driving with no prior signs of damage or wear. A technician confirmed the brake line had ruptured, and you had to pay $357.91 for repairs plus $30 in towing costs. Fixing this issue will require replacing the failed brake line and potentially inspecting the entire brake system for any related damage.

Your brakes may fail to respond when you press the pedal, especially at highway speeds. You might notice the brake warning light on the dashboard and brake fluid leaking when you apply the brakes. Pumping the pedal repeatedly may eventually slow the vehicle, but the problem can persist even after adding brake fluid. This issue will likely require the brake system to be inspected for leaks and internal component failure.

Your brake pedal suddenly stopped working while your wife was driving, and the ABS warning light came on. When she tried to press the brake pedal, the vehicle jerked backwards unexpectedly. Your dealer confirmed this is covered under two Ford safety recalls but said replacement parts aren't available yet, so the problem hasn't been diagnosed or fixed.

Your brake fluid warning light came on, and you noticed brake fluid leaking under the rear of your vehicle from the left brake line. Your dealer confirmed this is part of a known recall but said the replacement parts aren't available yet. The repair will likely involve replacing the faulty brake line with a new one to stop the leak and restore proper brake system function.

Your 2015 Ford Edge has two open recalls: one for the hydraulic brake system and one for the back-over prevention system. However, the dealership doesn't have the necessary parts in stock to complete these repairs, and Ford hasn't provided them yet despite what you feel is a reasonable amount of time. The good news is you haven't experienced any actual brake or backup system failures so far.

Your 2015 Ford Edge has made abnormally loud clicking sounds while driving, which Ford identified as a cracked flex-plate in the transmission area (Campaign 22N12). You've also experienced brake line failures — both front brake lines that you had to pay for at Firestone, and rear brake hose failures. Ford issued a recall for the brake system (Campaign 20V469), but the dealer has repeatedly told you parts aren't available to fix either problem. Despite multiple visits since 2022, the dealer hasn't completed the repairs, and you're concerned the vehicle may no longer be eligible for warranty coverage due to these delays. Fixing these issues will require replacing the transmission flex-plate and the front and rear brake lines and hoses.

You're concerned that Ford has taken too long to make these parts available for the recall repair.

Your 2015 Ford Edge is subject to two safety recalls — one for the brake system and one for the back-over prevention system — but Ford hasn't made the necessary replacement parts available yet. You've been waiting longer than reasonable for these repairs, and the dealer confirmed the parts are still not in stock. The fix will require your dealer to install updated brake and back-over prevention components once Ford releases them.

Your 2015 Ford Edge has been issued two safety recalls — one for the hydraulic brake system and one for back-over prevention — but the dealership doesn't have the necessary parts to complete the repairs yet. You've been waiting longer than seems reasonable for these parts to become available. While you haven't experienced any actual failure yet, both systems are safety-critical and should be repaired once parts are in stock.

- Breaks did not work and caused me to be in an accident. Date of accident 8/15. -called Ford the week prior to accident to ask if there was a recall because my break light came on. She told me there was not and they didn’t have the part in stock to repair it if it was. I told her I would try to add fluid and that seemed to work and the light turned off, unless I used my parking break. So I only parked on flat areas until it was ready to be fixed and didn’t use the parking break, but that time never came. After that, I got into the accident on 8/15 and even reported to my insurance (Kemper auto) that my car wouldn’t break even though I was far back enough to break without incident but the car just wouldn’t stop. My right tire is bent and my left tire is popped so now I’m unable to drive it to the dealer if the part comes in.

Brake pedal sank to the floor while driving. Pressure resumed temporarily. Brake fluid continued to leak aftrr being parked. This is third incident of this occurance.
Brake line has ruptured causing brakes to fail while driving for the second time in 2 years. I was almost killed in both of these incidents as it happened suddenly while on the road. The first one was fixed under a recall but it has happened again with no support from ford. this is dangerous and should be looked into.
Brake hose failure causing loss of braking ability. Confirmed by independent service center that brake hose ruptured and required repaired. No warning lamps or messages. Braking required holding pedal all the way to the floor. Occurred today, 04/02/2025.
As I was leaving a parking deck and heading toward the exit gate, I applied the brakes, but the pedal went all the way to the floor. I had to pump the brakes repeatedly to stop. After driving a short distance, the problem persisted, so I parked my car and left it overnight. The next morning when getting the car, I noticed a wet spot near the rear driver-side tire. Upon checking, I found that the brake fluid reservoir was empty, so I refilled it with brake fluid. The vehicle has since been repaired by an independent mechanic and was not inspected by a Ford representative or anyone else besides the mechanic. I don’t recall seeing any warning notifications during the incident but the inspection report indicates a brake code error.
There is a hissing noise coming from the brake pedal. The noise goes away when the brake pedal is compressed then comes back on as the brake pedal is released. The hissing sound is constant and very bothersome. No issues with braking the car so far. Have had this issue since I bought the car about 5 years ago in 2019 and was told there is no issues with the brakes. Didn't want to spend out of pocket money so have lived with that since, but now the sound is much louder and very bothersome. This is not a normal wear and tear. Ford should issue a recall for this. Have reached out to both dealership and ford customer service and they haven't been helpful.

The failure mileage was 100,000.
First my front right brake line severed in 2023. I took it to Les Schwab and had it repaired and I paid for it. Later, I found out it was part of a "Recall". The local Ford Dealer said they could not reimburse me for my repair cost due to timing issues. However, they replaced both front brake lines (even though the right side had already been recently replaced). Yesterday, my rear brake line is severely damaged and leaking brake fluid and my brakes are "soft". This is not not safe. Why were only the front brake lines recalled? What about the rear brake lines? Les Schwab is trying to repair my car. They can't get a new rear brake line. They contacted Ford and were told the rear brake line comes from Minnesota and that there are none in stock in western US. According to Ford it has to be ordered and will take 2 weeks. I called several Ford numbers for Customer Service and support. They are not willing to help me out. I was told I would have to bring my car to a Ford Dealer and have it diagnosed by Ford before they could order the rear brake line. It takes 2 weeks to get an appointment. Then once Ford diagnoses my car, they will order the part which would take another 2 weeks. I can't drive my car for one month with bad brakes.! I need my vehicle to go to work. If Ford knows the front brake lines are inferior and sub par and thus subject to a recall, how can they ignore the back brake lines? How can the recall only be limited to front brakes? Furthermore, I should not have 2 separate brake lines fail on me on the same car. This is a safety issue. Why is it so difficult to get a replacement rear brake line? Something needs to be done. This is unacceptable.
Brake line that was recalled and repaired ruptured and is causing a brake fluid leak and increased pedal travel, increased braking distance, and overall unsafe driving conditions
The brake fluid is leaking rapidly. The brakes will work fine and them 30 minutes late, upon restarting the vehicle, the brakes are extremely spongey and it takes a very, very long time to brake at all. Because it occurs suddenly and without warning and no warning lights display on the dash to anticipate the issue, pedestrians are most at risk, in Ashton to putting myself and other drivers and property owners at risk of being struck.

When approaching a stop light the breaks felt less resistant and would not engage properly. Luckily we had just left home so we turned around and took a different vehicle. When we came back home there was a puddle of break fluid under the rear right tire and the break fluid reservoir was empty. Since there was already a recall in the front break hoses we are concerned there is a fault with the rear break hoses.
Rear brake lines split while driving no warning just couldn’t stop all the way.

I had a sudden loss of brakes. As I applied the brakes for an up coming stop sign the brakes initially engaged and briefly slowed the car as the brake petal continued to the floor. Only after pumping the pedal was I able to completely stop. No warning light was ever displayed. Service was accomplished and it was determined that a right rear brake line had suddenly failed. I believe this to be a serious threat to safety. This vehicle now has 63,166 miles on it and has been garage kept and never exposed to salt or other corrosive material for any length of time. Thank You.
While driving my 2015 Ford edge my brakes went completely out almost causing me to slam into the vehicle ahead of me. My brake fluid was completely gone. I had previously called about the recall as stated in the letter months ago and was told the parts were not available and I would be contacted as soon as they are. I was never told NOT TO DRIVE my car. This is my only means of transportation and now they are saying parts are in but there is a possible 2 to 3mnth wait period with no loaners available. This is unacceptable and Ford cus service hasn't been any help.
The contact owns a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH and attempting to stop the vehicle, the braking system malfunctioned and the brake pedal extended to the floor causing the vehicle to nearly crash into a truck. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who diagnosed that the rear passenger’s side brake line had failed. The brake line was replaced and the failure was remedied. Later while operating the vehicle, the brake warning light illuminated. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the rear driver’s side brake line had failed to cause brake fluid to leak from the vehicle. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The contact indicated that both the front driver’s side and passenger’s side brake lines were previously repaired for the same failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000.
LEFT REAR BRAKE LINE RUPTURED; RESULTING IN CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE.
Originally got recall notice in May 2021. Called my Ford dealership and they said they could not repair because they did not currently have the parts. Called again a few months later and made an appointment - day before appointment the dealership called to cancel because they still did not have parts. On September 14th my brake lights went on and I could not brake properly, they were very spongy. I brought my car to my mechanic and he said the brake fluid was leaking and the hose had to be replaced, and that the car was undrivable. Called my dealership and the manager agreed to reimburse my mechanic's repairs, along with the rental car I needed. After the car was fixed the manager went back on his word and denied promising reimbursement, and now I am out $266.75 for repairs and $647.93 for the car rental
Brake flexible hoses split and brake fluid leaked, causing brakes to become unusable. Light came on indicating low brake fluid level on 9/14/21. Service manager at local Ford dealership confirmed on the phone that my mechanic could fix it and I would be repaid, but now he is denying my refund.

I received a letter from Ford Motor Company in September 2020 noting the recall and that I would be notified by mail when the parts are available. Received second letter from Ford Motor Company in May 2021 that the parts are available and to contact a local dealership for scheduling repair. I contacted Bill Estes Ford in Brownsburg, IN who stated that they would order the parts as they didn't have them in stock. I followed up in June 2021 to a report the parts are on backorder and again July 14, 2021 and July 26, 2021 with same response that parts are backordered. July 14, 2021 contacted Ford Motor Company and established a case number which they stated would help force the parts order process and that I should contact the Service Manager at Bill Estes Ford Brownsburg, IN within 7 days to see if they have received the parts. I contacted Bill Estes Ford on July 26, 2021 and was told the parts are still on backorder with an unknown date of delivery. I then contacted Ford Motor Company Customer Service to check the status of my case submitted on the July 14, 2021 and was told the parts are on backorder. My wife is very concerned about the brake system which could fail on this vehicle and it appears that Ford Motor Company (Almost 1 year after notifying me of the recall) still cannot complete the required repair.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact stated while attempting to stop vehicle, the brake pedal extended to the floor with the brake system malfunction message displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the front brake lines were faulty causing brake fluid to leak from the vehicle. The front brake lines were replaced and the failure was remedied.

This is the second time in a year that the brakes in our vehicle have stopped working. The pedal goes all the way to the ground and does not completely stop the car. We had the issue dealt with last year at the dealership where we had our vehicle towed to. It was only then that we were notified that there was a recall on the hose that may affect the brakes and other functions of the vehicle. It was replaced. This has now happened a second time while my husband and 2.5 year old were driving home. If he was not able to have some control over the vehicle he and my child could have been killed or someone else on the road. I called the dealership to let them know that the car would be towed again and told the issue. They confirmed we dealt with this same issue just one year ago and I asked why is this happening and this is so unacceptable as my family's safety is at risk. I asked if there are any recalls or issues with the make and model that we should be aware of. After looking up the vehicle she then informed us there was indeed a recall for the flex hose which could cause leaks and affect the brakes. The vehicle is currently at the dealership being inspected. Due to where the leak is coming from it seems to be the left side of the vehicle now which tells me the dealership only replaced one of the hoses and not both causing this to happen again. This is negligence and I am beyond frustrated at the thought of what could have happened and I don't think waiting until someone is killed is the right time to fix this issue. There were no warning lamps, messages or symptoms prior to the failure, it just happened while driving and trying to stop.

I GOT THE RECALL LETTER EARLY 2020, THE FIX WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILIABLE NEAR THE END OF 2020 AND HERE IT IS ALMOST MID 2021 WITH NO FIX OR ANOTHER LETTER TO SCHEDULE THE FIX. MY BRAKE PEDAL IS TRAVELLING FURTHER THAN IT SHOULD AND IT LOOKS TO BE LEAKING BRAKE FLUID A BIT ON THE GROUND
AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD. I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY CHILD AT THE TIME AND BEING UNSURE OF WHAT WAS GOING ON I DROVE THE VEHICLE ACROSS A BRIDGE BACK TO MY COUNTY TO THE CLOSEST REPAIR FACILITY I COULD GET TOO. I HAD BARELY MISSED HITTING THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME SINCE IT WOULD NOT STOP ALL THE WAY. AFTER THE TECH CHECKED IT OUT, IT WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID AND THE HOSE WAS BUSTED. HAD IT TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP SINCE IT SHOULD HAD BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEN FOUND OUT IT WAS A RECALL THAT WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY DOCUMENTATION ABOUT. THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY SINCE IT PUT MYSELF AND MY CHILD IN DANGER .

SAFETY RISK YOU MAY EXPERIENCE AN INCREASE IN PEDAL TRAVEL TOGETHER WITH A REDUCTION INTHE RATE OF DECELERATION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

I HAVE BAD BRAKES ON MY FORD EDGE 2015
THE FRONT BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY TOUCHY, PERIODICALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP. WHEN YOU JUST IMMEDIATELY TOUCH THE BRAKES IT LOW-SPEED THE CAR COMES TO A JERKING STOP. I READ ONLINE THERE IS A RECALL DUE TO SOME IMPROPER SOFTWARE BEING INSTALLED DURING THE TIMEFRAME MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED. I WOULD THINK THIS COULD ABSOLUTELY CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROBLEM. EVER SINCE I PURCHASED A VEHICLE I'VE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE'S NO PROBLEM. I AM A PROFESSIONAL DRIVER, I DRIVE FOR WORK I'VE DRIVEN OVER 2,000,000 MILES IN MY LIFE AND I KNOW WHAT I'M HAVING BRAKE ISSUES. I WENT TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE ONLINE NOTIFICATION AND THEY TOLD ME THE ONLY RECALL IS FOR BRAKE HOSES AND THEY HAVE NOTHING FOR ANTI-LOCK SOFTWARE ISSUES. COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE CLEAR THIS UP FOR ME AS I CAN'T EVEN USE THIS VEHICLE TO TEACH MY DAUGHTERS HOW TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE BRAKES ARE SO UNPREDICTABLY TOUCHY. MEETING SOMETIMES THEY'RE FINE AND OTHER TIMES THEY ARE NOT, USUALLY WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. THANK YOU
MY BREAKS ARE SUPER SENSITIVE. JUST TAPPING THE BREAK AT SLOW SPEEDS WILL CAUSE IT TO LOCK UP THE BREAKS. AT HIGH SPEEDS IT IS A LITTLE BETTER BUT STILL HAVE TO CONSTANTLY ADJUST THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE APPLIED TO AVOID SKID/ABS FROM KICKING IN. BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS AND THEY REPLACED BREAK BOOSTER PART B. THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2019. I WAS TOLD "IT WAS A BREAK FLAP". NO SUCH THING. MY BROTHER HAS A VEHICLE FROM SAME MANUFACTURER SAME YEAR DIFFERENT MAKE AND THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS RECALLED AND THAT CORRECTED HIS ISSUE. HAVING BREAKS THAT YOU CAN'T TRUST IS A HORRIBLE FEELING EVEN WORSE HEADING INTO WINTER. IS THIS A COMMON ISSUE FOR 2015 FORD EDGES? BECAUSE THIS IS LEAVING ME WITH BAD FEELINGS TOWARD FORD MORTOR COMPANY.
WHILE DRIVING 9/10/2020 ON LOCAL STREET APPROX 35MPH BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR, NEEDED TO PUMP BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN. REPLACED BRAKE LINE AT MR. TIRE. THIS WAS LEFT REAR BRAKE LINE THAT RUPTURED. VEHICLE WAS AT FORD DEALER FOR BRAKE CHECK 8/6/2020 AND PASSED INSPECTION. ON 12/8/2019 SAME THING HAPPENED TO LEFT FRONT BRAKE. FORD ISSUED A RECALL TODAY ON FRONT BRAKE LINE. I CALLED AND WAS TOLD I SHOULD RECEIVE RECALL LETTER IN A FEW WEEKS FOR FRONT BRAKE LINE. I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING A CAR WITH DEFECTIVE BRAKES. NO RESOLUTION AS OF TODAY. CALLED FORD DEALER & HOTLINE AND WAS TOLD TO WAIT FOR LETTER BEFORE TAKING ACTION.
THE BRAKE HOSE SPLIT WHILE DRIVING. I LOST BRAKE PEDAL. THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO DECREASE IN SPEED. I WAS FORCED TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT. *TR
OVERLY SENSITIVE BRAKING APPLICATION AT LOW SPEEDS AND/ OR UNDER WET AND/OR SLICK CONDITIONS. I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED FROM AN ESTATE AND THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING.
GRABBING BRAKES - KNOWN BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUE - BRAKES GRAB A LOW SPEEDS AND IF YOU DON'T RELAX YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKES COULD LOCK UP CAUSING AN UNSAFE CONDITION. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS REFERENCED - NHTSA #10081005. IN SOME CASES VIA FORUM COMMENTS, THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT APPLIED CONSISTENTLY ACROSS FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS (AUTONATION FORD LITTLETON). THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW AT THE DEALERSHIP NOTED ABOVE
2015 FORD EDGE WITH 45, 250 MILES. I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND WENT TO APPLY MY BRAKES. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. I PUMPED AND PUMBER TO SLOW DOWN. AT THAT TIME, THE BRAKE LIGHT AND THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHTS CAME ON. I HAD NO BRAKES. I HAD TO PULL THE ELECTRIC BARKING BRAKE UP TO STOP. I HAD TO TRAVEL A LITTLE WAYS MORE AND MAKE A U-TURN IN THE MIDDLE OF A 4 LANE BUSY , MAJOR HIGHWAY, IN ORDER TO GET TO A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT. THERE AGAIN NO BRAKES - HAD TO USE MY ELECTRIC PARKING. I WAS SO AFRAID. I AM JUST THANKFUL I THOUGHT OF THE HAND BRAKE, WHICH ALMOST THREW US IN THE WINDSHEILD. IT WAS SUCH A HARD STOP. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO GET THE CAR AND TOW THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE VERIFIED, BRAKE LINE BUSTED ON MY CAR. IT HAS A SPLIT IN IT. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER. BRAKE LINE BUSTED ON SOMETHING WITH THAT LOW OF MILES.
BREAKS I TRIED BREAKING WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT BUT MY CAR REFUSED TO STOP. LUCKILY THERE WAS NOBODY IN FRONT OF ME, BUT IT TOOK ME ABOUT 2 OR 3X THE AMOUNT OF TIME I'M USED TO, TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP. THERE'S A HISSING NOISE NOW WHEN I PRESS ON THE BREAK AND I HAVE TO PUT DOWN A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL IN ORDER TO STOP. I DON'T KNOW IF IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL ISSUED IN NOVEMBER BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS.
BRAKES SQUEAK LOUDLY WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOT OR AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 45 AND RETURNING TO THE CAR TO DRIVE AFTER AN HOUR OR TWO OF NOT DRIVING. THE BRAKES BECOME TOUCHY AND BITE WHEN RETURNING TO DRIVE AFTER THE CAR SITS FOR AN HOUR OR SO. WHEN STOPPING SUDDENLY AT ANY TIME, THE BRAKES BITE SEVERELY. PADS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR. HELPED BUT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. BRAKES ALSO FEEL AS IF THEY ARE GRINDING WHEN RETURNING TO DRIVE THE CAR AFTER IT SITS FOR AN HOUR OR SO, AFTER HAVING DROVE FOR 45 MINUTES OR SO. AT TIMES THE BRAKES WILL SQUEAK AND BITE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. DEALER HAS REPLACED THE PADS, NOTED THE BITING, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.
