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.

My vehicle’s flex plate is defective and, after having researched this further, it is a known manufacturer’s (Ford) issue. Despite this fact, Ford has conveniently issued a “recall” that eliminates my being able to have their defective part replaced and paid for by them. Straub vs Ford Motor Company, a lawsuit filed in 2021, attests to this fact. My question is how is Ford allowed to get away with this? It shouldn’t matter how long or how many likes the consumer has on the vehicle if the defective part and subsequent need for repair is not due to any negligence on the consumer’s part. I would appreciate any assistance or guidance in how to proceed with this matter. Thank you.

The 2015 Ford Edge and similar models are notorious for flex plate cracking, which Is an absolute hazard to anyone driving it. These things can crack or shatter spontaneously, causing the engine to stop running, even mid-drive. This issue is known, yet the NHTSA hasnt deemed this as a true recall, so Ford isnt covering replacement of this part. PLEASE reconsider recalling this part!

coolant intrusion in cylinders on the engine 2.7 ecoboost Ford made a bad engineering decision on the headers and block to allow coolant to flow through the gaskets to get to the other side of the cylinder. Now with a vehicle only 98K miles I'm expected to pay more than the car is worth to get it fixed or be out of a vehicle or find a scrape yard or someone to buy it off of me just to save some money. I can't trust any American auto makers with my money going forward. Auto shop Notes - The vehicle has the history code of P0316- misfire detected in the first 1,000 revolutions and P0304- Cylinder four misfire detected.

While driving 45-50 mph, without any warning or indication, there was a sudden loss of power and the ability to accelerate. The engine and all electric components were still working but I was not able to accelerate, only coast. There was a wrench warning light, Hill side assist error message, and airbag warning light that showed up on the dash. After pulling over safely, the car was turned off for roughly 30 seconds and restarted. After restarting the vehicle, all systems seemed to work properly. After driving a few days and avoiding any highways, I have not had this happen again. I decided to error on the side of caution and take the vehicle to the dealership for further diagnostics. The dealership stated that they are unable to duplicate the problem. 2015 Ford Edge Titanium, AWD, V6
