2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND WHEN SHE WENT TO STOP SHE PRESSED THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AND NEARLY COLLIDED WITH A ANOTHER VEHICLE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FORD AND FOUND THAT IT HAD A FAULTY ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT THAT IS ALLOWING FLUID TO BY PASS THE ABS AND NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAD BEEN SERVICED PREVIOUSLY IN 2016 FOR A SIMILAR BRAKE FAILURE ISSUE. (BETWEEN 50 AND 60 THOUSAND MILES) THAT TIME IT WAS A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER THAT PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM BEING ABLE TO STOP. THAT REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER THE 13N02 EXTENDED WARRANTY 10 YEARS AND 150,000 MILES. THIS TIME FORD IS NOT STANDING BEHIND A PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE RESULT IN A SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE.

LOST BRAKE PRESSURE WHILE DRIVING AND COULD NOT STOP WITH SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND CAUSE DESPITE NUMEROUS EXAMPLES OF THE SAME PREVIOUSLY REPORTED BY OTHERS.

BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE STOPPING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE BRAKES HAVE FAILED IN TRAFFIC. BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED AT 58K, BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED AT 32K. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 65K. DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO FIND PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN TRAFFIC CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. I WENT TO APPLY MY BRAKE BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW. I HAD TO STOMP AS HARD AS I COULD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP BEFORE ALMOST COLLIDING WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. CAME WITHIN INCHES OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. ONCE HOME, I PUT THE EDGE IN PARK, I PUSHED THE PEDAL VERY HARD & HEARD A HIGH PITCHED SQUEALING NOISE. INFORMED BY FORD THIS WAS DUE TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILING. I HAD THE BOOSTER REPLACED PREVIOUSLY IN 2016 WITH THE FIRST RECALL AND NOW 2 YEARS AND LESS THAN 15,000 MILES LATER, THE 2ND BOOSTER HAS FAILED. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 74,451 AND I AM NOW ABOUT TO BE ON MY 3 BOOSTER. FORD WILL NOT COVER ANOTHER BREAK BOOSTER EVEN THOUGH EACH SHOULD LAST SOMEWHERE AROUND 100,000 MILES. I SPOKE WITH SERVICE DEPT AND WAS ADVISED THE RECALL REPLACED BOOSTER IS ONLY GUARANTEED FOR 1 YEAR OR 12,000 MILES WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. SERVICE TECH SAID HE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE DUE TO FORD'S POLICY. SO GLAD THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY'S LIFE IS GOOD FOR 1 YEAR/12,000 WITH MY 3RD BREAK BOOSTER BEING INSTALLED AT MY EXPENSE TODAY. NO WARNINGS NO NOTHING, EDGE JUST WOULDN'T STOP. NOT SURE HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO BE HURT BEFORE SOMEONE WILL DO SOMETHING. FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT IT'S CHEAPER FOR THEM TO PAY A LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT THAN TO FIX THE ISSUE. I'M SO GLAD I BOUGHT A FORD SO THAT I CAN SHELL OUT $800+ EVERY 2 YEARS FOR ANOTHER BRAKE BOOSTER IF I'M LUCKY ENOUGH TO SURVIVE FINDING OUT IT'S FAILED AGAIN.

THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE NO HORIZONTAL, ONLY VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT ALLOWED AND CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED SO AS TO LIGHT THE ROAD FULL WIDTH WHICH, CAUSES PARKED CARS AND SUCH TO BE OVERLOOKED AND POSSIBLY STRUCK.
