2007 Ford Edge Brakes Problems

Your brakes failed to stop the vehicle when you pressed the pedal at 40 MPH, and your check engine light came on. You had to pump the brake pedal repeatedly to bring the car to a stop. A dealer diagnosed the problem as a faulty brake booster that needs replacement.

Your brake pedal feels unusually hard to press, and you sometimes hear a hissing or whistling noise coming from the brake area. A mechanic diagnosed a faulty brake power booster, which is subject to a recall, but your vehicle wasn't included in that recall. The brake power booster likely needs to be replaced to restore normal pedal feel and eliminate the noise.

Your brake booster has failed and needs to be replaced. You may notice that your brakes feel harder to press or less responsive than normal. According to other reports, this issue may be part of a recall, so you should contact your Ford dealer to check if your vehicle qualifies for a free repair.

When braking, the brake petal is hard to push. I traveled about 10 miles the other day and it happened about 20 times so now I'm trying not to drive until Friday when my shop can check the brakes and if I do have to drive I will stay great distance behind other vehicles. The mechanic said it sounds like brake booster problem. I checked online and found that other Ford Edge vehicles are having this problem, but there is no recall.

Front passenger side brake caliper keeps going bad. We have replaced it 3 different times. No trouble out of driver side only passenger.

WHEN I PRESS THE BREAKS TO STOP, IT IS HARD TO PRESS, LIKE I'M PUSHING AGAINST AIR AND ON A COMPLETE STOP IT CONTINUES TO MOVE IN MOTION. (THE BREAKS DON'T STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN STATIONARY. IT STARTED 2 DAYS AGO AND I'M SCARED BECAUSE I HAD MY NIECE IN THE CAR AND I ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD WHERE AN INCOMING CAR WAS GOING TO HIT ME STRAIGHT ON MY LEFT. IF I BREAK IT ALSO JUMPS THE CAR LIKE IF I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND. IT'S VERY ROUGH.

WHEN MAKING A STOP OR ALREADY STOPPED, THE BRAKE PEDAL GETS VERY HARD TO PUSH. WHEN HITTING THE GAS THERE IS SOME RESISTANCE. I NOTICE THE BRAKE PEDAL GETS STUCK. IN ORDER TO UNSTICK IT, I HAVE TO PUT MY FOOT UNDER THE BREAK TO POP IT UP.

ONE DAY ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN DEPRESSED THE BRAKES HEARD A AIR LIKE SOUND FROM THE UNDER DASH, WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE HAD A STOPPING INSTANTLY AND THEN RELEASE LIKE I COULDN'T STOP THE VEHICLE.REALLY I PANIC CAUSE I COULDN'T STOP..SO I HAD MY HUSBAND TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER GONE BAD..IT COST ME A LOT OF MONEY, SO I ASKED WAS THERE A RECALL THEY SAD NO..I HAVE HAD OTHER PEOPLES THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR FORD EDGE. *TR

I JUST HAD NEW BRAKES PUT ON MY CAR. A FEW DAYS AFTER THE BRAKES WERE VERY SPONGY AND FELT LIKE THEY WOULD NOT WORK. THEY ALSO MADE A LOUD HIGH PITCHED NOISE. MY MECHANIC LOOKED MY CAR OVER AND SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTERS.

THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE

WHILE I WAS OUT DRIVING TO GET MY INSPECTION DONE MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP THE BRAKES WERE VERY HARD TO PUSH LIKE I WAS STANDING UP ON IT SO I'VE WENT TO GO GET THE BRAKES REPLACE BEFORE THE INSPECTION AND THE BRAKES WERE STILL HARD TO PUSH THAT'S WHEN THE MACHANIC HAD TRIED AND INFORMED ME THAT IT'S NOT THE BRAKES AND MY CAR IS UNABLE TO STOP EVEN DRIVING AT A VERY LOW SPEED MY CAR WAS CLOSE TO OVER TURNING DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP WITH NEW BREAKS THAT'S WHEN I WAS INFORMED IT'S THE BREAK BOOSTER

BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE (IN MOTION), IN INVESTIGATING RECALLS ON BRAKE BOOSTERS, FOUND FORD EDGE FROM 2010 TO 2013 HAS RECALL.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER, FRONT BRAKES AND REAR BRAKES. THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ON THE 2007 BRAKE BOOSTERS FOR THIS YEAR/MODEL BUT APPARENTLY FORD WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME $982.05 BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I WOULD LIKE REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS COST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, BUT FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKES RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION AFTER THREE TO FIVE SECONDS. THE DEALER (GABRIEL/JORDAN FORD, 2400 U S HIGHWAY 59 S, LIVINGSTON, TX 77351, (936)327-4327) WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

I HAVE MY CAR IN THE SHOP GETTING BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED AT $900, FORD HAS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N02 THAT COVERS NEWER CARS. LOOKING ON-LINE THIS ISSUE IS PREVALENT AND I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AS A RECALL, NO BRAKES. ALTHOUGH NEARLY COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES ONLY HAPPENED RECENTLY I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE MAY HAVE BEEN BUILDING FOR YEARS. I ALWAYS NOTICED OTHER VEHICLES HAD (TO ME) MUCH TOUCHIER BRAKES. I NOW BELIEVE THAT THE OTHER VEHICLES WEREN'T TOUCHIER, IT WAS MY CAR THAT HAD LOW BRAKING. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING IT SEEMS THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ISSUE YEARS AGO BUT YET IT'S ANOTHER COVER UP BY A CAR MANUFACTURER.

MY BRAKES ACT LIKE THEY ARE STUCK A LOCAL MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS MY BRAKE BOOSTER I TRIED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THEY WOULD NOT WORK I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE.

BRAKE BOOSTER LEAKAGE, ON THE HIGHWAY THE BRAKES ACTUALLY WAS SO HARD TO DEPRESS WHEN COMING UP UPON A VEHICLE AT THE LIGHT I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO GET IT TOO STOP,,,,,,SO FINALLY THE BRAKES GRABBED STOPPING THE VEHICLE IN A SUDDEN STOP. THE BRAKE PADEL WENT TO THE FLOOR MAKING A WHISPERING SOUND.

WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROADWAY, I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP AND HAD TO APPLY EXTREME PRESSURE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN AND COME TO A DEAD STOP. MY 105 LB. DAUGHTER COULD NOT HAVE STOPPED THIS VEHICLE IN TIME AND WOULD HAVE CRASHED. I DROVE SLOWLY TO MY REPAIR SHOP, WHERE THE MECHANIC CHECKED THE BRAKES AND ADVISED ME THAT THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE ADVISED ME TO REPORT THIS SERIOUS AND POSSIBLY DEADLY PROBLEM TO FORD AND THE FEDERAL SAFETY BOARD.

I HAVE A 2007 FORD EDGE SEL I JUST BOUGHT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND NOW I HAVE 2 DIFFERENT RECALLS ON PLUS A BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUES WITH 2 SENSORS. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC TO MAKE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF FORD EDGES WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE NO BRAKES TO STOP DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND ALL THREE HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE A 2007 FORD EDGE SEL. RECENTLY PUT BRAND NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS ALL THE WAY AROUND MY VEHICLE. BEFORE I REPLACED THE BRAKES, I NOTICE THE SOUND OF AIR AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VIBRATING AND THERE WAS A DELAY TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 177,000.

BRAKE BOOSTER IS FAILING. I AM EXPERIENCING POOR BRAKING, AND HISSING NOISE WHEN I DEPRESS BRAKE. THERE IS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N02 BUT MY VIN DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE PART OF THE PROGRAM. LOOKING AT VARIOUS FORUMS, THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH SEVERAL YEARS OF FORD EDGE VEHICLES IMPACTED. I AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA LOOK INTO THE MATTER.

BRAKES POWER BOOSTER, POWER BOOSTER FAILING AND EXHIBITING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS LATER MODEL FORD EDGES, THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED...CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N02. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE HYDRAULIC BRAKES. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT IT COULD BE A VALVE OR A BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER (CHAPMAN FORD, 9371 ROOSEVELT BLVD, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19114, PHONE NUMBER: (215) 698-7000) STATED THAT THERE WOULD BE A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

A HISSING SOUND WHEN BRAKES WERE PRESS DONE WHEN SPONGY. THEN GOT EXTREMELY HARD TO PRESS. STILL MAKES HISSING OR AIR SOUND DIAPHRAGM AND BRAKE BOOSTER I'VE BEEN TOLD. FORD COVERS SOME MODELS FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT MINE AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS

MY 2007 FORD EDGE IS HAVING THE SAME BRAKE ISSUES AS DESCRIBED IN THE FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N02 BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUE FOR FORD EDGE 2011-2013. WHY ISNT THIS EXPANDED. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I ALMOST COULDNT STOP MY CAR TWICE TODAY! TWICE! ITS SO SCARY TO BE PRESSING DOWN ON IT AND NOTHING HAPPENING. IT HAS A HISSING SOUND AS WELL. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! I WAS DRIVING WITH MY KIDS AT 20 MILES AN HOUR, THANK GOODNESS IT WASNT FASTER!

BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL- I BARELY HAD THIS TRUCK A YEAR, AND THE BRAKES ARE GIVING ME MAJOR PROBLEMS. WHEN I PRESS THE PEDAL. ITS HARD, AND I HAVE TO ALMOST STAND UP ON IT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I'VE HAD THE PADS AND ROTORS REPLACED, AND THAT'S NOT THE PROBLEM. I STARTED DOING RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER.

BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO PRESS, I'M BASICALLY HAVING TO STAND UP ON THEM. THEN THE CAR STILL MOVES FORWARD A LITTLE. I CANNOT LET UP OFF THE BRAKE AT ALL AT A STOPLIGHT BECAUSE THE CAR BEGINS TO ROLL.

BRAKE BOOSTER: HEARD HISSING SOUND UPON BRAKING. WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, THEN BRAKES BEGAN TO FAIL AND CAR STARTED TO MOVE AGAIN. HAD TO PRESS HARDER ON THE BRAKE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. THIS HAPPENED TWO DAYS IN A ROW. DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A 2007 FORD EDGE SE AWD THAT I PURCHASED IN 2009. I REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER IN 2010 AND NOW AGAIN IN 2017 IT HAS FAILED AGAIN. I WANT FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS REASON. I WANT MY MONEY BACK FOR THE FIRST REPLACEMENT AND WANT THEM TO COVER THE CURRENT REPLACEMENT. THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I COULD'VE GOTTEN INTO TWO CAR ACCIDENTS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!!!

MY BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM IS FAILING. I HAVE REPLACED EVERY OTHER BRAKE COMPONENT WITH OEM EQUIPMENT AND NO CHANGE. MY VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS THE BRAKE PEDAL IS AS SOLID AS A ROCK AND HAS THE FEELING OF "SLIDING ON ICE" YEAR ROUND. THIS PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSED DRAMATICALLY AND QUICKLY. A VERY LOUD HISSING AS IF AIR IS LEAKING BY THE BRAKE PEDAL OCCURS WHEN BRAKING. ABS LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON AND NOTHING ELSE IS AFFECTED SAFETY WISE. VEHICLE SIMPLY BRAKED POORLY AND FEELS LIKE IT WILL NOT STOP. FORD HAS CREATED A "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" FOR MY EXACT ISSUE BUT WILL NOT APPLY THEIR WARRANTY/RECALL HELP TO MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE YEAR (2007). THEY SAID IF IT WAS A 2010 OR NEWER THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. IM HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME PARTS CONSUMERS HAVE WITH THE 2010 MODELS AND NEWER. ITS RIDICULOUS THAT FORD CAN EXCLUDE ME FROM SOMETHING THEY ARE ACCEPTING FAULT FOR. THIS IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AT ITS WORST. I WANT FORD TO FIX MY BRAKE BOOSTER AND SYSTEM COMPONENTS AS NEEDED TO SAFELY BRAKE ON PUBLIC ROADS.

NO KNOWN BRAKE ISSUE BEFORE AND CAR WAS RECENTLY GIVEN A MAJOR SERVICE CHECK. NO BRAKE ISSUES WERE FOUND DURING THAT CHECK. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN NOTICED HISSING SOUND AND BRAKE FOOT PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR WHEN APPLYING BREAKS. WENT IN FIRST IN APRIL AND BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM WAS REPLACED. RECALL WAS NEWER MODEL EDGES SO WE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. WENT BACK IN LESS THAN 90 DAYS LATER IN JULY BECAUSE BRAKES WERE NOT FILLING RIGHT AGAIN. MASTER CYLINDER LEAK WAS FOUND. WAS NOT FOUND THE FIRST TIME SO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT GAVE US A MANAGER DISCOUNT. BRAKE BOOSTER BLEED AND MASTER CYLINDER LEAK. REPLACED BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM ($961.38) AND MASTER CYLINDER ($290.23). I FEEL THAT THE BREAK BOOSTER SYSTEM AND CONNECTION TO MASTER CYLINDER SHOULD BE PART OF RECALL FOR THIS MODEL EDGE. SINCE BRAKE ISSUES WERE NOT FOUND IN AN EARLIER MASTER SERVICE (I CAN SEND THAT INVOICE AS WELL), I THINK THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS BOUND TO FAIL AS I HAVE READ IN THE RECALL FOR NEWER MODELS.

I HAVE A 2007 FORD EDGE SEL PLUS THAT IS IN FOR A BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACEMENT AND FORD WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THEIR IS A EXTENDED WARRANTY OFFERED TO NEWER CARS 2010 AND ABOVE. THE PART NUMBER FOR 2007 AND A 2010 IS THE SAME SO THE PART IS BAD ON BOTH VEHICLES. ON MY VEHICLE WE LOST PARTIAL BRAKING AND IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I CALLED FOR WITH NO HELP THEY REFUSE TO COVER THE PART OR LABOR . THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FORD ISSUED IS 13NO2 BUT THEY WILL ONLY HONOR FOR 2010 OR NEWER EVEN THOUGH THE PART IS THE SAME 2010-2012.

TEAR IN BRAKE BOOSTER DIAPHRAGM. COVERED IN MANY OTHER FORD EDGE MODELS OF THE SAME YEAR, BUT FOR SOME REASON NOT MINE. HOWEVER, FORD DOES NOT SEEM ABLE TO PROVIDE ME AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY NOT MY CAR SPECIFICALLY. WAS DRIVING AND WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THEY FELT LIKE A ROCK...THEN WENT TO FEELING SUPER SOFT, WITH A HISSING SOUND EVERY TIME THEY WERE APPLIED. BRAKES ALTERNATED BETWEEN FEELING ROCK HARD TO SUPER SOFT WITH HISSING AND I WAS ALMOST UNABLE TO BRAKE SEVERAL TIMES. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. WHEN CAR WAS PARKED (NOT MOVING), BUT TURNED ON AND BRAKE APPLIED, THERE WAS A LOUD SQUEAL SOUND EACH TIME.

VERY HESITANT TO PICK UP SPEED AT TIMES, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY ON 2 OCCASIONS OUT SIDE OF A WEEK , I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP, MY BREAK PEDAL WOULD DO ANYTHING, IT WOULDN'T GO DOWN FOR ME TO STOP, THE 1ST TIME I WAS DRIVING AND TRIED TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND COULDNT STOP THE SECOND TIME WAS ON A BUSY HWY AND I ALMOST HIT A CAR AT A STOP LIGHT, BECAUSE MY BREAKS DIDNT WORK. . AND YES I HAVE HAD MY BREAKS AND ROTORS REPLACED THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM BUT OBVIOUSLY IT WASNT, I TALKED TO A MECHANIC AT THE FORD DEALER AND MY PERSONAL MECHANIC AND BOTH HAVE TOLD ME THEY HAVE HAD LOTS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME THING. NOW I HAVE TO ASK A FRIEND TO RIDE ME BACK AND FORTH TO WORK , BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO USE MY CAR IN FEAR OF KILLING MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000. UPDATED 04/18/17 LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE BREAK FAILURE OCCURED FOR THE FIRST TIME AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. UPDATED 09/08/2017 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER WAS FAILING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,250.

I FIRST BEGAN TO NOTICE THIS ISSUE WHEN MY 2007 FORD EDGE, WITH 85,000 MILES AT THE TIME, CREATED A HISSING NOISE FROM BEHIND THE STEERING COLUMN AREA WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED. EVER SINCE OWNING THIS VEHICLE THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT EXTREMELY SPONGY BUT I ALWAYS ASSUMED IT WAS THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE PEDAL HAD BECOME EVEN SOFTER AND THE CAR BECAME HARDER TO STOP ALONG WITH LOUDER HISSING, I REALIZED THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I DON'T CONSIDER HAVING TO ALMOST STAND ON MY BRAKE PEDAL IN QUICK STOPPING SITUATIONS VERY NORMAL. I HAD THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER. THEY CONFIRMED THAT MY POWER BRAKE BOOSTER HAS A FAIRLY LARGE TEAR IN IT WHICH WILL ONLY GET WORSE AND EVENTUALLY FAIL UNEXPECTEDLY. I WAS TOLD THE COST TO REPLACE THIS BRAKE BOOSTER WAS ABOUT $1000 OR EVEN A LITTLE OVER. BEING A COLLEGE STUDENT WITH AN EXTREMELY TIGHT BUDGET, REPAIRING THIS IS OUT OF THE QUESTION. HAVING PREVIOUSLY PAID OUT-OF-POCKET FOR THE NUMEROUS OTHER REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE INCLUDING MULTIPLE PREMATURE IGNITION COIL FAILURES, BOTH MY SAVINGS AND PATIENCE WITH FORD HAVE DRIED UP. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY MULTIPLE TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE ONLY TO BE FED LIES TO LEAD ME ON UNTIL THEY CAN END THE CONVERSATION IN HOPES I WILL FORGET THE WHOLE THING. I AM FULLY AWARE THERE ARE MANY OTHER EDGE OWNERS FACING THIS SAME SITUATION OR EVEN WORSE AND I CANNOT EVEN BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND WHY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. SO NOW, AT 95,000 MILES, I WAIT FOR THE DAY THAT MY BRAKE BOOSTER COMPLETELY FAILS LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER BRAKES. WHEN THIS DOES HAPPEN, AT THIS POINT I CAN ONLY HOPE IT WRECKS AND IS TOTALED, AS THAT IS THE ONLY FORESEEABLE WAY OUT OF THIS MESS. *TR

POWER BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED. DOESN'T HOLD VACUUM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STIFF AND WAS SLOW TO ACTIVATE WHEN DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD A LEAK IN THE DIAPHRAGM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

BRAKES FELT SPONGY AND HAD A HISSING NOISE, AND WITH PUMPING OR QUICK AND FIRM PRESSING OF THE PEDAL, THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD BECOME ROCK HARD AND NOT EASILY STOP THE VEHICLE. FORD HAS ALREADY ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS EXACT ISSUE FOR 2010-2013 UNDER BULLETIN 13N02 (10 YEAR 150K MILES) SO THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM. 2007-2009S HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM YET HAVE BEEN IGNORED. FORD TECH SAYS ITS THE BRAKE BOOSTER DIAPHRAGM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FELT SPONGY AND HARD. THE BRAKE PEDAL SANK TO THE FLOOR WITH A LOUD NOISE WITHOUT WARNING.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. UPDATED 09/06/16*LJ *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 FORD EDGE SLE, I NOTICED THE BRAKES STARTED FEELING LIKE THEY WHERE FADING. WHEN I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN, AT FIRST I DIDN'T FEEL THE VEHICLE WAS GOING TO STOP AT ALL. I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTREMELY HARD, AND ALSO USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. DURING THIS I COULD HEAR A HISSING NOISE THAT WAS UNUSUAL COMING FROM UNDER THE DASH. AFTER INVESTIGATION I FOUND FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2009, OR MAYBE EARLIER, AND DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT IT. THEY NOW HAVE A " CUSTOMER SATISFACTION " BULLETIN OUT, BUT IT ONLY COVERS 2010-2013 MODEL YEARS, WITH CERTAIN VIN # CODES. MY ENTIRE FAMILY HAS ALWAYS DRIVEN FORD PRODUCTS, BUT THE WAY SUNBELT FORD OF AMERICUS GA. HAS TREATED US WITH THIS PROBLEM, THAT IS ABOUT TO CHANGE. THIS VEHICLE IS STILL LOW MILEAGE, GARAGE KEPT, & AS CLEAN AS BRAND NEW. WE HAVE RELIGIOUSLY KEPT IT SERVICED, AND IN PERFECT SHAPE. WITH A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH SOMETHING AS MAJOR AS BRAKES, AND FORD WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PROBLEM, INDICATES TO ME THEY ARE NOT THE COMPANY THEY USED TO BE, & THEY HAVE NO REGARDS FOR DEDICATED CUSTOMERS OF OVER 40 YEARS. JUST MYSELF, SPOUSE, & OUR 3 SONS HAVE PURCHASED OVER 35 BRAND NEW FORD VEHICLES SINCE 1990 RANGING FROM MUSTANGS, TO EXPLORERS, TO F-350S. THANKS FORD FOR SHOWING US HOW MUCH YOU VALUE YOUR CUSTOMERS.

I WAS EXPERIENCING PROBLEM WITH HARD BRAKE PEDAL SO I CHECKED TO SEE IF BRAKES NEEDED BLEEDING. AFTER DETERMINING THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM I INITIALLY REPLACED FRONT ROTORS AND PADS. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED AFTER WHICH I REPLACED REAR ROTORS AND PADS WITH NO OR LITTLE IMPROVEMENT. I ALSO WAS CONCERNED THAT WHEN MY BRAKES WERE APPLIED SUDDENLY NOT ONLY WAS THE VEHICLE SLOW IN STOPPING(TOOK LONGER THAN USUAL STOPPING DISTANCE) BUT DID NOT FEEL ABS ACCENTUATE. A FRIEND AND FORMER FORD MECHANIC SUGGESTED IT MAY BE MY BRAKE BOOSTER. SO I REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND PEDAL SEEMED TOO SOFT BUT CAR STOOPED BETTER AND SHORTER, BUT WITHOUT APPLYING HARD AND SUDDEN BRAKE PRESSURE ABS SEEMS TO PREMATURELY ACTIVATE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME TO CHECK FOR POSSIBLE RECALL OR PROBLEMS WITH CHECK VALVE/ABS. UPON CHECKING FOUND IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS FOR SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE, WHICH CUSTOMER SAYS FORD EVENTUALLY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM BUT CALLED IT "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N02 INSTEAD OF RECALL. THE CAR WAS A 2007 FORD SEL PLUS ,MY CAR IS 2007 FORD SEL. I CONTACTED FORD TODAY(11/24/2015) CONCERNING A RECALL ON FUEL TANK FOR MY VIN AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. THEY SAID THOUGH THEY FIXED OTHER VEHICLE MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. MY CONCERNED IS THAT ,THOUGH IT MAY BE COINCIDENTAL BUT STRANGE I HAVE SAME PROBLEM WITH SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. THEY ISSUED ME A CASE # CAS-8279603. MY CONCERN ALSO IS THAT NOT ONLY I MAY HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE ENDANGERING MYSELF BUT ALSO OTHERS. PLUS THERE MAY HAVE BEEN OTHERS WITH SIMILAR IF NOT SAME PROBLEM AND REPAIRED IT THEMSELVES RATHER THAN INVESTIGATE ISSUE. THE MECHANIC ALSO STATED IT MAY ALSO BE NECESSARY TO CHECK OR REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER. SO AS OF NOW I'M DRIVING LESS AND ONLY SHORT DISTANCES UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY . THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN ON GOING FOR ABOUT 6 MOS. TIL I REPLACED BOOSTER ON ON 15TH OR 16TH OF NOV 2015.

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN I PRESSED THE BREAK TO STOP IN TRAFFIC AND ALMOST RAN INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE MY BRAKES BECAME VERY HARD AND I HAD TO PRESS THEM DOWN TO THE GROUND PRACTICALLY TO STOP. TOOK VEHICLE TO A LOCAL SHOP AND WAS TOLD MY BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WAS TOLD THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES LIKE THIS WITH FORD MODELS IN THE PAST. AFTER BASIC INTERNET RESEARCH FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR NEWER MODELS BUT NOT MY MODEL. CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY DIRECTLY AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON MY YEAR, MAKE, MODEL EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER 2007 FORD EDGES NOT ONCE, BUT EVEN AFTER HAVING BOOSTER REPLACED. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT FORD IS NOT WILLING TO STEP UP AND MAKE RECALL FOR 2007 FORD EDGES WHEN IT IS CLEAR THERE ARE MULTIPLE PEOPLE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS. I AM THANKFUL I DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME AND AM GOING TO FIX MY VEHICLE BUT THINK IT IS FORD WHO SHOULD BE RECTIFYING THIS SITUATION, NOT MY OWN POCKET!

THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS TOO HARD TO DEPRESS TO BRAKE SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY. HAD CAR CHECK OUT AND THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER NEED REPLACED. CAR IS OUT OF COMMISSION. QUOTED $1000 FOR FIX.

THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED AT 51K MILES. I NOW HAVE 85K MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND AS OF 9/5/14, THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAS FAILED AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AND A MERGING TRUCK FORCED ME TO TAKE THE CAR OF CRUISE AND THE PEDAL WAS SO HARD I COULDN'T AT FIRST AND IM A 250 LB GUY WAS GLAD MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING. SINCE THEN IT HAS BECOME MUCH WORSE AND APPEARS THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAS FAILED. WITH VERY LITTLE RESEARCH THIS LOOKS LIKE AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR AND SEVERAL OTHERS. I TRAVEL HIGHWAY A LOT SO MY MILEAGE IS HIGHER THAN MOST OF THIS AGE AND MAY ALSO BE WHY IT DIDN'T SHOW EARLIER. THE BOOSTER LOSES PRESSURE FAST ENOUGH TO BE A REAL HAZARD TO DRIVE YOU HAVE TO STAND ON THE PEDAL TO GET YOUR BRAKES TO WORK. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR OFF THE ROAD TILL I CAN FIX IT CANT AFFORD FORDS REPAIR COSTS 580+ BUT SOME MAY TRY TO DRIVE IT AND THEY WILL GET IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED REPEATEDLY WITH A DELAYED RESPONSE. THE MALFUNCTIONED RECURRED WHENEVER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED. HARD TO PUSH ON THE PEDAL AND VERY FIRM. STOP CAR AND RESTART IT'S OK UNTIL YOU DRIVE AND STOP AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER CYLINDER WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NON-DRIVABLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL RATTLED AND SANK DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT HEARD A WHISTLING SOUND AND HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED REPEATEDLY WITH A DELAYED RESPONSE. THE MALFUNCTIONED RECURRED WHENEVER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER CYLINDER WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, SHE ATTEMPTED TO DECELERATE BUT THE PEDAL FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE PEDAL IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

WHILE DRIVING DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND FELT A LOT OF RESISTANCE WITHOUT MUCH BRAKING. AFTER A SECOND OR THREE THE PEDAL STARTED TO PLUNGE TO THE FLOOR APPLYING THE BRAKES WITH GREAT FORCE. TOOK TO LOCAL DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE MASTER BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS WAS AT 61000 AND WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. JUST TODAY APRIL 15, 2014 IT HAPPENED AGAIN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND RECEIVED THE SAME PROGNOSIS, THE MASTER BRAKE BOOSTER IS BAD. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 120000 ON IT, KIND OF ODD THAT IT WAS NEARLY THE SAME DURATION FOR THE SECOND ONE TO GO BAD. THIS TIME THE COST IS NEARLY DOUBLE THAT OF LAST TIME. THIS IS ULTIMATELY A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT AS IT QUICKLY HAPPENS AND YOU MAY NOT STOP IN TIME TO AVOID COLLISION. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ABNORMAL FORCE WOULD HAVE TO BE APPLIED TO THE BRAKES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD STOP COMPLETELY. ADDITIONALLY, THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD FEEL HARD AND RESISTANT WHEN BEING DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSIS OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND ATTEMPTED TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. MY BRAKES SUDDENLY BECAME EXTREMELY RESISTANT TO MY FOOT PRESSURE AND A HIGH PITCHED SQUEALING NOISE ACCOMPANIED THE SITUATION. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP IMMEDIATELY BUT MANAGED TO ESCAPE A COLLISION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I DROVE MY VEHICLE, CAUTIOUSLY, TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM (BRAKE BOOSTER) IMMEDIATELY. HE STATED HE HAD TWO 2007 FORD EDGE VEHICLES IN THE SHOP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM (BAD BRAKE BOOSTER). THE INTERNET IS FLOODED WITH THIS ISSUE IN THE FORD EDGE. I AND MANY OTHERS HAVE BEEN EFFECTED FINANCIALLY AND EMOTIONALLY. A RECALL ON THE BREAK BOOSTER IS NECESSARY TO PREVENT FURTHER INJURY AND FINANCIAL LOSS TO FORD CUSTOMERS. *TR

MY BRAKES ALL OF A SUDDEN BECAME VERY SPONGY WITH NO WARNING. WITH A HIGH PITCH SQUEALING NOISE WHEN I PRESSED THE PETAL TO THE FLOOR. THEN THE PETAL BECAME VERY HARD TO PRESS. MECHANIC TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. AFTER REPLACING I AM STILL HAVING SAME PROBLEMS WITH NEARLY CRASHING INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. NOW I AM TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER.

I HAD MY FRONT AND BACK BRAKE PADS CHANGED, THEY BLED THE LINE AND I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES WERE EXTREMELY SOFT - PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. HAD THE LINE REBLED AND SAME THING. TOOK IT IN TO MY MECHANIC AND THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER HAD GONE OUT. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD NONE IN STOCK AND THEY WERE ON BACK ORDER - ONLY 3 DEALERSHIPS IN HOUSTON AREA HAD ONE. FOUND ONE AT A DEALERSHIP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN, BOUGHT IT AND HAD THE MECHANIC INSTALL IT, REBLEED THE BRAKE LINE. NOW THE PEDAL WOULD BE STIFF AND HARD TO PRESS DOWN TO GET TRUCK TO STOP. TOOK IT BACK IN AND HAD THE LINE REBLED AND THE ROTORS RE-TURNED. THAT DID THE TRICK AND IT HAS WORKED FINE SINCE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICES THAT WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKES THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES JUST TO SLOW DOWN AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD STILL GO TO THE FLOOR. GOT THE CARD TO A SERVICE CENTER AND AFTER A COMPLETE CHECK BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS BAD AND THAT IT WAS PREVENTING BRAKE FLOOD TO FLOW THE BRAKES. I COST ME $680.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WENT ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH 2007 FORD EDGE VEHICLES AND THAT MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. LUCKILY I WASN'T DRIVING FAST AND NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME WHILE DRIVING OR I COULD HAVE CRASHED WITHOUT THE USE MY BRAKES. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. HAS THERE BEEN A FORD RECALL TO ADDRESS THE BRAKE PROBLEMS WITH THE 2007 FORD EDGE? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED MOVING FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS AND ADDITIONALLY, ADVISED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

HEARD NOISES WHEN BRAKING UP,BRAKE PEDAL SPONGE,PUMP BRAKE PEDAL A COUPLE TIMES TO GET SOLID BRAKING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 10 MPH SHE ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES WITH THE PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED; HOWEVER, SHE WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO STATED THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000. ..UPDATED 11/14/12 *BF THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER WERE REPAIRED, AS THE BOOSTER WAS LEAKING. UPDATED 11/14/12

THE BRAKES SKIP WHEN GOING AT SLOW SPEEDS, SPECIALLY WHEN GOING DOWN ON RAMPS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US SEVERAL TIMES SPECIALLY IN PARKING GARAGES. *TR

WHILE BRAKING ON A HIGHWAY I FELT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AS I HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL WITH ALL MY MIGHT TO SLOW DOWN. AFTER EXITING THE RAMP AND APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT IT WAS APPARENT THAT I HAD NO "REAL" BRAKES..AGAIN PEDAL TO THE FLOOR WITH A VERY LONG DISTANCE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AT THIS TIME I COULD HEAR A VERY LOUD KIND OF WHISTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE PEDAL WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES..AGAIN TO THE FLOOR. AS I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT IT FELT LIKE I LOST ALL CONTROL ...ALMOST LIKE NO POWER AT ALL TO STOP THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO FORD..MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER. *TR

THIS IS MY DAUGHTERS VEHICLE. SHE COMPLAINED OF A NOISE IN THE FRONT END WHILE BRAKING AND SOMETIMES WHILE JUST DRIVING AT MODERATE SPEEDS. UPON INSPECTION I DISCOVERED THAT THE INNER BRAKE PADS ON BOTH FRONT BRAKES WERE TOTALLY WORN OUT AND GRINDING ON THE METAL WHILE THE OUTER PADS HAD PLENTY OF BRAKE MATERIAL LEFT. THE ROTORS WERE RUINED! THE REAR BRAKE PADS ALSO HAD PLENTY OF MATERIAL LEFT. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND DANGEROUS. *TT

THERE ARE THREE MAIN ISSUES WITH MY 2007 FORD EDGE. FIRST THE BRAKES MAKE NOISES AND SOMETIMES WORK AND SOMETIMES DON'T. THE TIRES KEPT GOING FLAT. I HAVE REPLACED ALL 4 FOUR TIRES AND ONE FRONT AND ONE BACK TIRE TWICE NOW. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS FREQUENTLY. *TR

WE OWN A 2007 EDGE SEL AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE LIGHT CONSTANTLY BURNS OUT. THE BULB HAS BEEN REPLACED COUNTLESS TIMES AND THE SOCKET IS MELTED. I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE. A CLICKING NOISE HAS ALSO DEVELOPED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL RECENTLY, HOWEVER WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING RELATED TO OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS VERY LOW MILES (24,000) AND THIS SEEMS ODD. I HOPE THIS INFORMATION HELPS OTHERS. *TR

BOTH REAR BRAKE LIGHT SOCKETS ARE BURNT AND MELTED. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED IN COMPLAINT NUMBERS 10439124, 10380902, 10372008, AND 10307462 AS WELL . A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET WILL REVEAL NUMEROUS OWNERS HAVE AND ARE EXPERIENCING THIS EXACT ISSUE. THE SOCKET THAT PLUGS INTO THE BRAKE LIGHT PIGTAIL (ON BOTH SIDES) IS BURNT AND ACTUALLY MELTED. THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS BEEN HOT ENOUGH TO MELT THE TAILLIGHT HOUSING ITSELF. AND THIS IS HAPPENING WITHOUT CAUSING A FUSE TO BLOW OR ANY TYPE OF WARNING THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUE. WITH THE RECALL ON THE 2012 REGARDING THE FUEL TANK ISSUE YOU MIGHT THINK SHORTING TAILLIGHTS IN THE SAME VICINITY WOULD BE A NASTY COMBINATION. *TR

THE FIRST TIME WAS ON JAN 14, 2012. THE SWITCH UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT OUT, LEFT ME STRANDED. NOW THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS BAD. WITH NO WARNING, THE BRAKES GOT ROCK HARD AND THEN GO TO THE FLOOR AFTER AWHILE WITH A WHISTLING NOISE. IT TAKES ALOT OF EFFORT TO STOP VEHICLE. I CAME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO CRASHING . I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE BOOSTER WAS BAD. . I AM VERY UNHAPPY THAT FORD DON'T SEE THIS AS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD TO BE RECALLED. MY WIFE LOVES HER EDGE, BUT IM AFRAID THAT SOMETHING MAY HAPPEN TO MY WIFE AND 2 YEAR LITTLE GIRL WHILE DRIVING. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 FORD EDGE. I HAVE HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT. BY BRAKE PROBLEMS, I MEAN THEY SOMETIMES GRIND AND SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE I CAN'T STOP AS WELL AS I SHOULD BE ABLE TO. I HAD THEM CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE FINE. I FINALLY HAD THEM REPLACED BUT THEY STILL GRIND AT TIMES. I'VE LEARNED TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. I'VE ALSO EXPERIENCED A LOUD ROARING NOISE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THIS IS BUT I'VE ALSO LEARNED TO DEAL WITH IT AS WELL. EVERYTIME SOMEONE RIDES WITH ME THEY ASK WHAT THE NOISE IS AND TELL ME IT SOUNDS LIKE MY CAR HAS NOT SHIFTED INTO THE RIGHT GEAR. THE MAJOR PROBLEM I HAVE DEALT WITH IS THE JERKING TRANSMISSION. IT STARTED THIS ABOUT A YEAR AFTER BUYING IT. IT STARTED DOING IT A FEW TIMES HERE AND THERE UNTIL IT GOT TO WHERE IT DID IT ALL THE TIME. I HAD MENTIONED IT WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO GET THE OIL CHANGED BUT THEY ALWAYS TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I FINALLY TOLD THEM THEY HAD TO DO SOMETHING. THEY KEPT IT FOR A FEW DAYS AND FINALLY CALLED AND SAID THE VALVE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. LUCKILY IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEY REPLACED IT AND IT WAS FINE UP UNTIL SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. IT STARTED THE JERKING ALL OVER AGAIN. IT STARTED OUT SLOW BUT NOW DOES IT ALL THE TIME. I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED AGAIN AS IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANY LONGER. IT'S STILL ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS. I AM REALLY SURPRISED THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS AS I'VE READ OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I AM VERY UPSET AS I STILL OWE ON THIS VEHICLE BUT REALLY WISH I COULD GET RID OF IT. I HAVE NEVER HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH A VEHICLE....EVEN A CAR I BOUGHT THAT WAS FOUR YEARS OLD.....IT WAS A TOYOTA....GUESS I SHOULD HAVE NEVER WENT TO A FORD! *TR

DRIVERS SIDE REAR BRAKE/SIGNAL LIGHT BULB BURNT OUT. SOCKET BULB GOES INTO WAS BLACKENED & SEMI-MELTED. NEXT MONTH PASSENGER SIDE SAME THING. NEXT MONTH BEARINGS IN FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL WENT. *TR

THE BRAKES GROWL AND GRIND NO MATTER WHAT. I KEEP BEING TOLD BY FORD DEALERS THAT THIS IS JUST THE SOUND OF THE EDGE! I HAVE NEVER HEARD BRAKES LIKE THESE THAT DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM BUT FORD FAILS TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. IT TAKES FOREVER TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING EVEN ON THE NEWER YEAR MODELS. *KB

THE FIRST TIME WAS IN FEB. 2010 THE SWITCH UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT OUT, LEFT ME STRANDED. NOW THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS GOING BAD. NO WARNING, THE BRAKES GET ROCK HARD AND THEN GO TO THE FLOOR WITH A HORRIBLE WHISTLING NOISE. YOU MAY OR MAY NOT STOP. DON'T DO ANY SUDDEN STOPS YOU WILL CRASH. I AM VERY UNHAPPY THAT FORD DON'T SEE THIS AS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. LOVE THE CAR LOOKS AND RIDES, BUT WONT BUY ANOTHER DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

A NEW PART WAS ORDERED AND INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

UPDATED 08/01/11*LJ UPDATED 3/05/2012 *LN

MY 2007 FORD EDGE BEGAN TO HAVE ERRATIC BRAKING. THE PEDAL WOULD GO ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKING WAS VERY POOR DURING THOSE TIMES. AT OTHER TIMES THE PEDAL BECAME ALMOST ROCK HARD AND COULD HARDLY BE PRESSED AND LITTLE OR NO BRAKING OCCURRED. THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY DURING EXITING THE FREEWAY AND I HAD TO LET OFF AND PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL AND WAS ABLE TO STOP. VERY DISCONCERTING AND THE PROBLEM WAS GETTING WORSE SO TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM WAS A LEAKING BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH REQUIRED $400 TO REPLACE. MY CAR HAD 3.5 YEARS OF SERVICE AND ABOUT 53,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE DRIVEN FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND NEVER HAD A BRAKE BOOSTER GO OUT. I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT FORD APPARENTLY DOES NOT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT CALIPER CAUSED WEAR AND TEAR TO THE FRONT ROTOR AND BRAKE PAD DUE TO THE CALIPERS GRINDING ON THEM. HE STATED THAT THE LEFT REAR CALIPERS WERE REPLACED IN 2008. FORD WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 26,500.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY THOUGHT THE BRAKES WERE GOING BAD BECAUSE THE PEDAL WAS GOING TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE BRAKES WOULD ENGAGE. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS PREVENTING BRAKE FLUID FROM GOING THROUGH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54000.

AFTER HAVING THE REAR BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS ON MY 2007 FORD EDGE REPLACED AT JACK SAFRO FORD IN OCONOMOWOC,WI ON 5/24/10, I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT, AND THE TRACTION WARNING LIGHT WERE ON. ALSO NOTED THAT THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM WAS INOPERABLE AT THAT TIME. MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT ON 6/2/10 AT DEALER TO HAVE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT BOTH REAR WHEEL ABS SENSORS WERE INOPERABLE AND RECOMMENDED REPLACING BOTH SENSORS, THE REAR WHEEL BEARING AND TRAILER ARM ON THE RIGHT REAR SIDE. DEALER ALSO INFORMED ME THAT PROBLEM WAS UNRELATED TO THE BRAKE WORK DONE JUST PRIOR. WHILE THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALER THAT DAY I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE RELATIVE TO THE PROBLEM AND WAS INFORMED THAT FORD WOULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE ON THE REPAIR AS THE VEHICLE HAD 39,696 MILES AND WAS OUTSIDE THE 36,000 MILE WARRENTY.I DECLINED TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AT THAT TIME IN ORDER TO GET MORE INFORMATION. ON 6/7/10 I TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP SPECIALIZING IN ABS BRAKES, WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE RIGHT REAR ABS BRAKE SENSOR HAD BEEN DAMAGED BY THE RIGHT REAR SENSOR RING, WHICH ITSELF WAS DAMAGED AND PARTIALLY SHREDDED. PER THE MANUFACTURER'S SERVICE BULLETIN, THAT SHOP THEN REPLACED BOTH REAR WHEEL SENSORS, AND THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL HUB WITH BEARING AND SENSOR RING. I WAS GIVEN THE OLD HUB WHICH I HAVE RETAINED AND WAS SHOWN THE FAILED SENSOR RING WHICH CAUSED THE ABS PROBLEM. BRAKES OPERATED PROPERLY WITH WARNING LIGHTS OFF AFTER THAT REPAIR. I HAD THE REPAIR DONE AT THAT SHOP RATHER THAN THE DEALER BECAUSE I WAS GIVEN A VERY SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM, AS OPPOSED TO JUST BEING TOLD "BOTH REAR WHEEL SENSORS WERE NOT WORKING", WITH NO MENTION OF THE DAMAGED SENSOR RING. I AM NOT PERSUADED THAT THE SENSOR PROBLEM WAS UNRELATED TO THE EARLIER REAR BRAKE JOB SINCE THE TECHNICIAN AT THE SECOND SHOP SHOWED ME WHERE SOMEONE HAD ATTEMPTED TO GLUE THE RIGHT REAR SENSOR UNIT TOGETHER. I ALSO HAVE THAT PART WHICH WAS REPLACED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2007 FORD EDGE WE LOST OUR BRAKES. HAD CAR TOWED INTO LINCOLM MERCURY DEALER. AFTER CAR WAS SO CALLED FIXED IT HAPPENED AGAIN. BROUGHT CAR IN FOR 2ND TIME. IN DECEMBER PROBLEM RECURRED. BROUGHT CAR TO FORD AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. INCIDENTS SEEM TO BE SPIRATIC AND THEN BRAKES SEEM TO BE OK *CN

2007 FORD EDGE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AND BRAKE LIGHTS STOP WORKING. *TR

MY WIFE AND I BOTH DRIVE FORD EDGE CROSSOVER SUV'S. BOTH CARS HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING SLOWLY & GOT TO PUT ON THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES MAKE A TERRIBLE LOUD GRABBING NOISE & THE CAR KIND OF SKIPS TO A STOP. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, BUT FORD REFUSES TO DO A RECALL. THE FORD SERVICE REP. AT THE DEALERSHIP I GO TO IS TRYING TO TELL ME THAT THIS IS HOW THE BRAKES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE. THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS AND SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. WE HAD ANOTHER FORD EDGE THAT WAS DESTROYED IN A REAR END COLLISION & IT ALSO HAD THE SAME BRAKE PROBLEM. THREE FOR THREE IS NOT A GOOD THING. THE REAR END COLLISION WAS NOT A RESULT OF THE BRAKE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 FORD EDGE WITH PERSISTING PULSATING BRAKE PROBLEM. THE BRAKES MAKE A GRINGING NOISE. I HAVE BROUGHT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP ABOUT 5 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS AND THEY STATE THAT THE SOUND AND GRIND IS "NORMAL" AND NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT THE FIRST TIME AS THE CAR DELAYS, KICKS BACK, THEN USUALLY THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON. THIS OCCURS USUALLY WHEN MAKING TURNS OR GOING UP A HILL. *TR

ON 7/30/2007 I PURCHASED A 2007 FORD EDGE 4DR AWD SEL PLUS FROM GARY CROSSLEY FORD OF KANSAS CITY, MO. ON 1/22/2008 WITH 9,581 MILES ON VEHICLE I TOOK CAR TO DEALER ACCOUNT A ROTATIONAL RUBBING NOISE. WHICH I ASSUMED WAS A BRAKE PROBLEM. ON 2/22/2008 WITH 10,271 MILES RETURNED TO DEALER FOR ADDITIONAL FOLLOW UP ON BRAKE(?) NOISE. ON 2/26/2008 WITH 10,710 MILES RETURNED VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR ADDITIONAL WORK TO CORRECT ROTATIONAL RUBBING NOISE. ON 2/29/2008 RETURNED VEHICLE TO DEALER WITH SAME COMPLAINT AND AT THIS TIME THEY REPLACED ALL FOUR (4) BRAKE ROTORS AND ALL BRAKE PADS. THIS REPAIRED PROBLEM UNTIL APPROX. 21,918 MILES ON VEHICLE WHEN THE ROTATIONAL RUBBING SOUND RETURNED. I NOTIFIED DEALER BUT WAS GOING ON A VACATION AND COULD NOT HAVE REPAIR WORK DONE AT THAT TIME. ON 1/8/2009 WITH 23,918 MILES ON VEHICLE I RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP WITH SAME PROBLEM. THEY ADVISED AT THAT TIME THAT THE BRAKES HAD 12,000 MILE WARRANTY AND I WAS OUT OF LUCK. I CALLED 1-800-392-FORD AND THEY PLACED A COMPLAINT WITH THE FORD CUSTOMER CARE SERVICE TEAM AND WHEN SABRINA OF THE CUSTOMER CARE SERVICE TEAM RESPONDED TO ME SHE ADVISED THAT SHE HAD TALKED WITH GARY CROSSLEY FORD OF KANSAS CITY, MO AND COULD NOT HELP ADDITIONALLY. I DO NOT THINK THAT IT IS SAFE DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH THE AMOUNT OF BRAKE NOISE THAT IS PRESENT. AT THE PRESENT TIME THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT AND I WANT TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. *TR

FRONT WINDSHIELD ON PASSENGER SIDE HAS SIGNIFICANT DISTORTION THAT MAKES THE VIEW "WAVY" LOOKING. REAR BRAKE ON DRIVERS SIDE MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. *TR

HE DID NOT KNOW IF THE ODOR WAS MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL. THE BRAKES VIBRATED AND BEGAN TO GRIND WHEN STOPPING OR TURNING THE VEHICLE AT 40 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE IF THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE STABILITY CONTROL, ABS, OR GENERAL BRAKING SYSTEM. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY FAILURES AFTER THEIR INITIAL INSPECTION. MOST RECENTLY, THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY COULD ONLY CUT THE ROTORS AND REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS. THEY COULD NOT LOCATE THE BURNING AROMA. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,000.

I WAS DRIVING, AND WHEN I WENT TO PRESS ON MY BRAKES, THEY WERE PULSATING, BECAUSE YOU COULD FEEL THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM KICKING IN. THE CAR SEEMED LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO STOP. AFTER I STOPPED, THE ABS AND TRACTION-CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON IN THE CAR, AND THEY HAVE BEEN ON EVERY SINCE. I HAVE AN APPT. FOR A REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. I WANTED TO MAKE THE NHTSA AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR
