2013 FORD EDGE Complaints

The screen just completely goes white off and on no matter when you’re driving. I turned the car off and on, and it still would do it.. I don’t know why it happens. Sometimes it also won’t even connect to Bluetooth.. I can turn my phone off and on, and it still won’t connect to it.. something is definitely wrong with it.

Driving in traffic. Hissing sound from brake pedal, stiff brake pedal, delayed stopping after pushing brake pedal, I almost ran into car ahead of me, unpredictable how long it takes to stop, stalled at red light, I have to push as hard as I can to stop vehicle. Bad brake booster. I can barely drive this. It’s not safe.

My brakes have become soft, and non reactive 3 times this year. Where normally you start braking and the brakes give resistance and slowly start braking as you push the pedal, now it feels like it releases and pushes to the floor before it starts breaking. I took it in twice already for repairs and last night the same thing has happened once again. The first incident happened around 7/13/24 then again 9/13/24 and now again 12/16/24. Master cylinder & booster replaced first two visits, have another visit scheduled tomorrow. I have taken it to a local place to be fixed each time, yet keeps happening.

Brake going to floor without resistance causing a longer breaking distance with my [XXX] daughter. Problem was intermittent initially, but I was able to confirm. Took to the local dealership that could not reproduce the problem, even though similar models had brake booster recalls referring to the same issues. Problem began to get worse until the car became unusable safely. Local dealership replaced brake booster at the cost of 1200 dollars.

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.
