I HAVE A FORD EDGE 2008. STARTING FROM 08/28/2017, THE BRAKE MAKES "HASSING" SOUND WHEN IT IS PRESSED DOWN. IT IS AS HARD AS A ROCK AT THE BEGINNING AND SOFT AS A SPONGE LATER. IT'S FUNCTION IS COMPROMISED. WHEN IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY, IT CAUSED COUPLE OF VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I ALMOST HIT TWO CARS IN FRONT AND OVER RUN A TRAFFIC LIGHT BECAUSE THE CAR CANNOT FULLY STOP FULLY. I DROVE THIS CAR TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING. IT WAS BRAKE BOOSTER PROBLEM ACCORDING TO THE TECH SERVICE. HE DROVE THE CAR AND FELT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE COMPROMISED BRAKE FUNCTION. HOWEVER DUE TO HIS TIGHT SCHEDULE, HE CANNOT FIT MY CAR INTO HIS REPAIR SERVICE. FORD ISSUE A RECALL 13N02 IN 2016 FOR BRAKE BOOSTER PROBLEM. HOWEVER IT ONLY COVERS CARS 2010-2013. THERE ARE PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THE SAME PROBLEM FOR CARS MADE IN OTHER YEARS. IT IS A SYSTEMATIC PROBLEM THAT RELATES TO THE DESIGN OTHER THAN MANUFACTURING PROCESS RELATED TO BATCHES. A SYSTEMATIC RECALL SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE ANY CUSTOMER GETS INTO A FATAL SITUATION.
