Our local mechanic advised us that the power brake booster was inoperable and that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. He advised us to bring the vehicle to Ford for repair. He also advised us that the booster has a known defect and Ford had extended a warranty to ten years for this part. We were never notified by Ford that there was a known problem with diaphragm in the power brake booster. This was confirmed by the local Ford Dealer. The vehicle is schedule to be repaired at the Ford.dealer but we cannot bring the vehicle in for another2 weeks. The estimate just to repair this part is.$ 850.00 and does not include any other potential damage to the brake system. According to the local Ford dealer and the original dealership they advised me that the extended warranty has expired for the brake booster and that Ford will not approve extending that warranty. I also called Ford customer service asking if they would be responsible for this repair since this was a known defect on this vehicle. This defect is definitely a safety issue but Ford is refusing to approve the repair. They are claiming that they voluntarily extended their warranty for 10 years and would have made a repair under the warranty if there was an issue with the braking system during that time period. I replied that since they never advised anyone of this defect we were disadvantaged to take actions to trade in or sell the vehicle. During the covid lock down this vehicle was hardly used and if it was driven it probably would have required a repair while under this secret warranty. The vehicle only has 50,000 miles on it, Ford has issued a case# cas33813024p7f6v3 on this matter but will not cover the repair The vehicle has been taken off the road and will have to be towed to the Ford Dealership to avoid an accident. It is completely not roadworthy.

8.16.21was driving home, no lights, no warnings, no smoke nothing no indication of any kind and I lost all power to operate the vehicle. I was unable to start the car and up to this point car was running fine, had car towed to local mechanic after inspecting the car mechanic found water pump blew up and pully ruptured filling my entire engine with coolant and now I am out of a car due to the engine being destroyed. After extensive reviewing it appears this is a known issue with the 2007-2010 Ford Edges and Ford has yet to step up to the plate and address this known issue. Look on Facebook under Ford Motor Company and see how many other owners are having this issue. How can you run a business knowing this happens and then not being able to back it up by fixing the issue. I could have had another 4-5 years with my car and now I have to have burden and cost of finding a new car due to negligence on Fords part. I truly enjoyed my Ford Edge however in the future I will no longer drive any type of Ford car or Lincoln knowing this is how you treat known issues. I'm just glad it was not -30degrees out and this happened. Shame on Ford. I will also spread the word about this issue and to anyone else thinking of buying a Ford. I have the estimate for a new engine let me know when the check will be in the mail to have my car repaired!!!

Stiff braking,,had family drive it; they deemed it unsafe for me to drive. Had a mechanic look at it, he said it was the booster on the brake and suggested I take it in to my service person @ Ford as he thought there was a recall on it. When I told my service person, he said no, so I’m now taking it back to my trusted mechanic.

Brakes became incredibly soft. Could push brake pedal almost all the way to the floor with out slowing the vehicle. Had to leave roadway to avoid an accident. A hissing sound was heard when applying pressure to the brake pedal. This seems to be a know issue to Ford.

My brakes suddenly became hard to press, and my car became almost impossible to stop on the freeway, and there is a hissing noise coming from under the brake pedal. My car has less than 90,000 miles, and has had only one owner, and was always serviced at a licensed Ford dealership. There have been no aftermarket parts installed. In addition, my car has always been garaged, both at home and at work, and no one else has driven it. It appears that there is a faulty brake booster that should have been recalled and repaired for free by Ford. This is a very serious and potentially deadly defect.

Power Steering malfunctioned. Wife had kids in the car and lost steering control. All power steering fluid loss out of banjo bolt that connects the power steering high pressure line to the steering gear. Ford has a TSB on these regarding this issue. Service bulletin ASI-44308 Steering NHTSA ID number 10054565. I had to have a mechanic replace the whole rack and pinion due to the pitting the salt caused on the aluminum by corroding. This is fords mistake. Thankfully no one was hurt. Secondly, I had to pay $945 for something that should have never happened. This is a huge safety concern and Ford Knows about it!

I needed increased effort to engage the brakes, totally lost all brake power when driving on a highway. Started out spongy and then it was like engaging a brick. Had to veer off the highway and almost caused a major accident. Brake pedal is hissing and spongy.
