2014 FORD EDGE Complaints

WHILE EXITING A PARKING LOT INTO THE MAIN THOROUGHFARE THE BRAKES SUDDENLY BECAME HARD AND UNRESPONSIVE. ADDITIONALLY WE HAVE NOTED A SQUEALING AND HISSING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKES WHEN THE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND DETERMINED THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM. RESEARCH SHOWED THE FORD HAD ISSUED A SAFETY NOTICE (13N02) AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE FORD EDGE AND THE LINCOLE MKX VEHICLES FOR THE MODEL YEARS 2010 - 2013. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REQUESTED THAT THE SAFETY NOTICE BE EXTENDED TO COVER 2014 AS WELL AS IT IS APPARENT THE ISSUE IS ONGOING AND NOT ISOLATED TO THE MODEL YEARS CURRENTLY COVERED. FORD HAS DECLINED TO COVER THE ISSUE.

THE WRENCH ICON APPEARED, BUT WAS ABLE TO STEER, AROUND A FEW FEET, INTO A SERVICE STATION . THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I KEPT THE ENGINE RUNNING BUT THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THERE WAS NO ACTIVITY. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. MAYBE ONE MINUTE LATER, I RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT UP. THE ACCELERATOR WORKED PROPERLY. INSTEAD OF ENTERING THE FREEWAY I TOOK ANOTHER ROUTE HOME,WHICH WAS ABOUT 15 MILES AWAY. I HAD THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY WHICH WAS 4/11/2019. AFTER INSPECTING IT,FORD STATED THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY ANY PROBLEMS. I HAVE AROUND 76,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.
