2010 Ford Edge Brakes

BRAKES MADE HISSING SOUND WHEN PEDAL WAS PRESSED AND THEN HAD TO STOMP ON THE PEDAL TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. THE VEHICLE NEARLY SLID INTO A BUSY HIGHWAY AT THE INTERSECTION BECAUSE THE BRAKES DIDN'T ENGAGE. A CERTIFIED FORD TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE ISSUE WAS A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER THAT NEEDED REPLACED. APPARENTLY, THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE ISSUE WITH MANY FORD MODELS INCLUDING MINE. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DEFECTIVE PART. PLEASE INVESTIGATE! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

BRAKES HAVE BECOME SPONGY AND A HISSING SOUND IS EMITTED WHEN THEY ARE PRESSED. PEDAL MUST BE PRESSED HARDER THAN NORMAL. *TR

HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD TO STOP, SO BASICALLY NO POWER BRAKES. TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND PAID >$600 TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE ONE OF THESE IN ANY CAR I HAVE OWNED. THIS IS NOT A REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE NEEDED GIVEN THE NUMBER OF MILES ON THE CAR. FORD SHOULD BE THE ONE PAYING FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

VERY HARD BRAKE. EXTREMELY HARD TO STOP ESPECIALLY AT A SLOW ROLL. BRAKING AT FASTER (20-30MPH) SPEEDS MORE EFFECTIVE, BUT VERY INEFFECTIVE WHEN MOVING VERY SLOWLY (5MPH OR LESS). WHEN APPLYING BRAKE, THERE IS A HISSING SOUND. VERY SCARY TO DRIVE AND ONLY DID TO GET TO REPAIR SHOP. THIS PROBLEM MATCHES EXACTLY AN EXISTING RECALL WITH FORD EDGE 2010'S, BUT FOR SOME REASON MY VIN WAS EXCLUDED IN THE RECALL. CAR REPAIRED AT FORD DEALER, BUT HAD TO PAY MORE THAN $500. *TR

AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN BRAKING THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL FEEL LIKE A BRICK, WITH NO POWER BRAKE BOOST. IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES WOULD FEEL IF THE CAR WERE SHUT OFF, BUT IT IS STILL RUNNING. OR AT OTHER TIMES THE PEDAL IS VERY SPONGY FEELING. IN BOTH CASES THERE IS A DELAY IN BRAKING CAUSING A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STIFF AND IT WAS HARD TO STOP WITHOUT STANDING ON BRAKE. MECHANIC HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. NHTSA HAS A FILE # 10052836 AND FORD ISSUED TSB #CSP-13N02 TO NOTIFY AND REPLACE PART FOR ONLY SELECT CARS. IF YOU AREN'T IN THIS GROUP, YOU HAVE NO IDEA YOUR BRAKES WILL SUDDENLY BE DIFFICULT TO APPLY, RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD SOUND COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I HOPE AND I PRAY THAT SOMEONE WILL BE AN ANGEL FOR US TO HELP US. WE AS AN INDIVIDUAL CAN NOT FIGHT A BIG COMPANY LIKE FORD MOTORS, WE ARE HELPLESS. PLEASE HELP US. TOO MANY COMPLAINT ON FORD 2010 ACCELERATION PROBLEM THAT HAD INJURED MANY MANY AND PUT A LOT OF PEOPLES LIFE IN DANGER. I BOUGHT MY FORD LAST YEAR FROM AN AUTO DEALER. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM, I WAS PARKING MY CAR IN A PARKING LOT AND MY CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND I WENT ON THE GRASS. THE SECOND TIME I WAS PARKING IN MY GARAGE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED AGAIN ON ITS OWN AND I ALMOST PUSH MY SONS THROUGH THE GARAGE DOOR. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED IT ACCELERATED AGAIN ON ITS OWN AND THE BRAKE DID NOT WORK. I HIT A PARKED CAR IN A SMALL TOWNHOUSE PARKING LOT. MY CAR AND THE OTHER CAR WAS DAMAGED. POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND MY AUTO INSURANCE FIXED THE 3 CARS INVOLVED. I WAS SCARED I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE THAT DAY. SINCE THIS TIME I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE FORD COMPANY BUT THEY'RE NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY ON THE MATTER. I THEN WENT ON THE INTERNET TO RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM. FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE LOTS AND LOT OF COMPLAIN ON THIS ACCELERATING PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGE 2010. YET FORD CLAIMED THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE MODEL. WHEN IS FORD GOING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX THE PROBLEM. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE ATAKING CARE OF THIS SITUATION. PLEASE HELP US. YOU ARE THE LAST HOPE. I AM PAYING FOR THE CAR BUT I AM TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ITS BEEN PARKED SINCE THE ACCIDENT. PLEASE HELP. *TR
