2013 Ford Edge Brakes

Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle is hard to brake and travels a further distance before stopping, the brake is hard to press and stop the vehicle. This has been confirmed by my private mechanic No, it has not been inspected by the manufacturer I heard a hissing noise and the car stalled out at a complete stop when the brakes were pressed down Reached out to Ford and they said there is no recall for my vehicle but I have information from when I had my emission done provided by NHTSA of a recall MRF#13N02. Which I've provided a copy of down below.

The brake booster on my 2013 Ford Edge Sport has failed, leading to significantly reduced braking performance. This creates a dangerous condition requiring excessive force to stop the vehicle. Over the past few months, I have narrowly avoided multiple accidents due to the inability to stop safely at stoplights. On several occasions, I was forced to swerve off the road to avoid collisions. This issue was diagnosed by a certified mechanic, who informed me that brake booster failures are a known problem in this vehicle model. Although I was made aware of Ford's Customer Satisfaction Program 13N02, Ford's customer service indicated that the warranty had expired, and the dealership refused to repair the issue at no cost. As I cannot afford the repair myself, I am forced to continue driving the vehicle in its unsafe condition, putting my safety and the safety of others at risk.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact noticed that the brake pedal became inoperable. The contact stated the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard with no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the brake boosters failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHSTA Hotline for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 117,000.

Driving in traffic. Hissing sound from brake pedal, stiff brake pedal, delayed stopping after pushing brake pedal, I almost ran into car ahead of me, unpredictable how long it takes to stop, stalled at red light, I have to push as hard as I can to stop vehicle. Bad brake booster. I can barely drive this. It’s not safe.

My brakes have become soft, and non reactive 3 times this year. Where normally you start braking and the brakes give resistance and slowly start braking as you push the pedal, now it feels like it releases and pushes to the floor before it starts breaking. I took it in twice already for repairs and last night the same thing has happened once again. The first incident happened around 7/13/24 then again 9/13/24 and now again 12/16/24. Master cylinder & booster replaced first two visits, have another visit scheduled tomorrow. I have taken it to a local place to be fixed each time, yet keeps happening.

Brake going to floor without resistance causing a longer breaking distance with my [XXX] daughter. Problem was intermittent initially, but I was able to confirm. Took to the local dealership that could not reproduce the problem, even though similar models had brake booster recalls referring to the same issues. Problem began to get worse until the car became unusable safely. Local dealership replaced brake booster at the cost of 1200 dollars.

I’ll cut right to the facts. Last weekend my wife and I were driving on the highway in our 2013 Ford Edge [XXX] ed on the brake pedal as we neared our exit – WE WERE NOT SLOWING DOWN - we found ourselves with what seemed to be NO BRAKES again I repeat NO BRAKES. Immediately sheer panic hit me as I pushed the brake pedal to the floor and held it there. Luckily we were FINALLY able to stop without creating an accident. I’ll fast forward to cause of the problem – A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER – Which was identified by Ford in their Customer Satisfaction Program13N02 – issued November 27,2013. Our vehicle was not was not included so we were not notified of any potential issue. As a result I not only got THE SCARE OF MY LIFE (and that’s an understatement) BUT on top of that a $1,100.00 bill to replace a part that was clearly known to be defective. AND you put mine and my wife’s life at risk, never mind any innocent people we may have hurt as a result of an accident.

My 2013 Ford Edge Limited is experiencing the failed brake power booster symptoms. Hard to push pedal and sinking. VIN is not linked to 13N02 per Ford support. However the model year is within the range of years, build at the Oakville plant, has the issue, but not covered.

2013 Ford Edge Limited- The vehicle experienced a loss of brake pressure, resulting in the brake pedal sinking to the floorboard before the vehicle finally came to a complete stop nearly resulting in a collision. Vehicle was taken to Midas and the independent mechanic notified the owner that the brake master cylinder was malfunctioning and needed to be replaced immediately.

I constantly heara hissing sound when breaking. Sometimes my break pedal goes all the way down inorder to stop. My Abs light comes on. I have had it repaired once. Its happened again. I'm being told it's the break booster and needs repair once again. This is a severe safety issue. It's a constant issue with hydraulic or breaks, including break booster.

My vehicle's brakes went completely soft, brake pedal to the floor. This is because of the "customer relationship program", aka the recall that apparently is not a recall. The issue is the "Brake Booster", where there is a small tear in the diaphragm responsible for braking. There was no warning and the problem has been reproduced multiple times according to online forums.

While stopping the brake pedal will sink all the way to the floor. Brake booster was replaced but the problem persisted. Master cylinder was replaced but problem is still there. The only thing that saved me from an accident was the emergency brake.

Vehicles Break booster and Master cylinder has an issue and the breaks are stiff with a whistle blowing sound when pressed. And causing a low engine oil sign to pop up and stall out when stopped. This happened while pulling out of a parking lot. The problem was confirmed by a Pep Boys Auto Repair Shop in Federal Way, Washington State. No, insurance has not looked over it, and no I haven't taken it to be inspected by a Ford dealership/manufacturer

I noticed when pressing on the brake pedal it was going to the floor vehicle was not slowing or stopping as it should. I heard a squealing and whistle sound then the check engine light came on. I called the dealership, and they said confirmed the brake booster was internally leaking vacuum causing the check engine light to come on. The brake light is on once again and again the dealership contacted for an appointment. I took the liberty contacting Ford for any recalls and was directed to contact NHTSA and report.

I have a 2013 ford edge. When I press on the brake sometimes it goes down smoothly and I hear a hissing noise and then the next time I brake it is stiff, hard as a rock and I can barely get the vehicle to stop. This is dangerous! A major safety issue but for some unknown reason my 2013 is not showing a recall. I heard that the brake boosters could be the problem. Also my check engine light came on when the stiff brake started happening. I just bout the suv 2 weeks ago. Ford will not help me as no recall is issued.

The brake booster has failed. When I depress the brake pedal it pushes almost to the floor before any braking occurs. The car is still able to brake, but this slight delay can pose a risk to safety if the car needs to be slowed quickly. The problem occurs constantly during driving. I have brought the care to the dealership to see if it was covered under the 13N02 customer satisfaction program, but they said my VIN indicated it was not. This problem is described exactly the same in the 13N02 recall and I believe my vehicle should be covered. There have been no warning lamps or signals for this issue.

I was driving home on the freeway from work and there was an accident where traffic had to slow down. As I slowed down by placing my foot on the brakes the tires skid and the ABS light came on as well as the Brake Service light and Service Advance Trac came on. The brakes locked and I avoided an accident by 2 inches. This is hazardous and dangerous.

Brake booster failed. Ran a stop sign. No brakes!

I took my vehicle to Ford for the brake booster that was issued by Ford. Nothing worked. My brakes would literally go soft and almost to the floor while stopping. It was extremely dangerous and scary. I saw a 2016 recall that replaced the ABS module but my car apparently wasn’t tagged to it. Finally had to foot the $1500 bill to have the ABS module replaced which seemed to have fixed the issue. Thousands have complained of this same issue so I’m not sure why a recent recall hadn’t been issued by Ford.

There is a known issue with the Brake Booster on my vehicle that is covered by a warranty porgram. WHy hasnt the NHTSA required a recall on a key critical safety device that has been clearly identitifed?
