2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

BRAKES FUNCTIONED PERFECTLY PRIOR TO DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL IN TRAFFIC (ON A MAJOR CITY STREET WITH THE VEHICLE MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH) AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. THE PEDAL WAS DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS, BUT WITH EXTREME PRESSURE, COULD BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, RESULTING IN A WHISTLE OR BEEP SOUND. THE VEHICLE BECAME (AND REMAINS ALMOST 24 HOURS LATER) UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT CANNOT BE STOPPED WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE. INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES THIS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2012 FORD EDGE BRAKE SYSTEM, AND REFERENCES PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE BOOSTER. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY-RELATED RECALL MANDATED FOR THIS VEHICLE, GIVEN THE PROPENSITY FOR SUDDENLY FAILED BRAKES TO CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON AND SOUND DINGS . AND EVERY TIME YOU STOP IT TELLS YOU TO SHIFT INTO PARK. AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK VERY UNSAFE CONDITION.

THE DRIVER'S DOOR SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. IT ALERTS YOU THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS CLEARLY SHUT AND SHUT WELL. I BELIEVE IT IS THE SENSOR. THE SENSOR IS IN THE DOOR PANEL AND NOT EASILY REPLACED. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES THE LIGHTS TO NOT GO OFF AND DOOR ALERT TO STAY ON, IN EFFECT DISTRACTING THE DRIVER AND MISINFORMING THEM OF A PROBLEM. THIS MAY AFFECT THE CAR DOING OTHER THINGS IF IT THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS NOT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND CONTINUES WHILE MOVING. IT IS NOT AN ADJUSTMENT PROBLEM WITH THE LATCH.

PLEASE RECALL
