2018 Ford Edge Brakes Problems

You own a 2018 Ford Edge and received recall notices for brake system repairs and back-over prevention, but the dealership couldn't get the necessary parts to complete the work. You've been waiting longer than seems reasonable for these repairs to be available. You haven't experienced any actual brake failure or other problems yet.

Your brake pedal grabs or sticks when you press it down, even though no warning light appears on your dashboard. Ford issued a recall for this issue, but the repair parts aren't available yet, and the dealer hasn't been able to diagnose or fix the problem. You may need to wait for Ford to supply the necessary brake system components before the recall repair can be completed.

There is an engine defect causing coolant to leak into cylinders on my 2018 Ford edge titanium ecoboost 2.0l turbocharged engine. This is a known safety problem and there have been many lawsuits regarding this issue. I have contacted Ford Corporate and they are only recommending to replace the long block instead of replacing the entire engine. There is potential to have damage to the cylinder heads, piston rods and other crucial parts in the engine which make me feel very unsafe about its future reliability when "only replacing the long block" which really seems like putting a band aid on the problem. They are not willing to spend the time or money to ensure that the vehicle is safe and the problem is properly diagnosed and resolved. This is alarming as it seems they are trying to cut corners in order to save money. Many people have had this problem and I heard from my private mechanic that they do so many 2.0l ecoboost a week at the dealership because of this exact same problem. I think the NTHSA should look into an engine recall. I also have had an open recall on the front brake lines needing to be replaced due to possible failure for over 1 year and Ford has dragged their feet. Please look into my specific case if possible.

BRAKES ARE TOO SENSITIVE (GRABBING) AT LOW SPEED, ESPECIALLY AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT. A VERY SLIGHT TOUCH OF THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO IMMEDIATELY STOP AND ANYONE IN THE CAR WILL SLIDE FORWARD IN THEIR SEAT IF NOT OUT OF THE SEAT. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH BOTH MYSELF AND MY WIFE DRIVING THE CAR. IF I DRIVE THE CAR AND STOMP ON THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES IT SEEMS TO GET A LITTLE BETTER. BUT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR PEOPLE INSIDE THE CAR AND IF A CAR IS FOLLOWING CLOSELY DUE TO THE ABRUPT UNCONTROLLABLE STOP.
