2013 FORD EDGE Complaints

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed but failed to respond. The contact then stood on the brake pedal. The brake pedal went all the way to the floorboard and the vehicle stopped abruptly. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring increasingly while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake booster had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under an extended warranty due to the mileage. The failure mileage was approximately 177,000.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the brake pedal was hard to depress causing an increased stopping time. The contact stated no warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or independent mechanic for diagnoses or repairs. The dealer was contacted and informed the contact that the vehicle was out of warranty. The dealer advised the contact to call the manufacturer for assistance. The contact stated he had received a letter from the manufacturer several years ago extending the warranty for the brake booster. The contact stated that the warranty was 10/years or 150,000 miles from the date of being put in service. The contact stated that the vehicle was beyond 10 years by less than 30 days and inquired of the manufacturer to extend the warranty and cover the repairs. The contact stated that he called the manufacturer however, the call was transferred to NHTSA. The failure mileage was 133,000.

The brake booster failed, just as is outlined in Ford's Customer Satisfaction Program #13N02, NHTSA #10054925. Ford claims my vehicle was built outside of the dates covered in the CSP and therefore, does not qualify for the warranty extension of the CSP. The booster failure I experienced is identical to that described in the CSP, so it seems obvious that there are more vehicles affected than Ford claims.

The afternoon of Friday, March 25, 2022 I was driving over Balcom Canyon and my brake pedal went all the way to the floor with no response! 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! I was already a bit of an "anxious" driver but now I'm totally traumatized and feel I can't trust my own car's braking system?! Just crazy! Please do something about this NOW

Hard brake pedal on trying to stop. Takes a lot of pressure on brake pedal to stop.

The vehicle is not going into second gear. A pull onto a 40 mph road means a quick start but then the vehicle won't shift gears so needs to be pulled over quickly to not be in the way of coming traffic. It was inspected by family automatician but wrench light had turned off and stopped problem. Then happened again the next morning followed by wrench light later in the day. Not inspected, yet.

Brake pedal intermittently goes to the floor when attempting to stop. The brake booster was replaced by dealership under wgat they called a recall but received vehicle back with the same issue. Dealership is now stating Hydraulic Control Unit is the issue noting repair cost 1,700.

The sunroof rails guides broke and its not being hold by the rail guides. The broken pieces are just floating free. Feels like if i take highway the paranomic glass will swing open and cause an accident. Im really concern for my family or any passanger. I believe its a default from ford for not being well engeneeeed.

The brake booster and master cylinder failed on my 2013 Ford Edge, which required extreme applications of pressure to the brake pedal to bring the car to a complete stop (the brake pedal would either sink to floor when being depressed or become extremely stiff when attempting to stop). This has been a serious safety risk, as excessive force has been required under normal circumstances to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Independent mechanics were required to replace both the brake booster and master cylinder to resolve the issues.

Rear backup camera failure. Sometimes it is upside down, sometimes it is right side up and sometimes it is blank and sometimes show only black screen with verticals lines.
