Brake Master Cylinder Problems of Audi A5

Starting a few months ago, the brake pedal on our 2013 Ford edge went very soft upon braking making the vehicle very difficult to safely stop. Took the car to the Ford dealer and they could find no issues as the problem seemed to resolve itself. The brake issue reoccurred again, but, again the dealer could find nothing as it resolved itself. Last week the issue occurred again. This time, the dealer finally diagnosed the fix as a new master cylinder and brake booster; they are currently making the repairs at a cost of approximately $2,300 (won't have the final cost until I pick it up next week). This is my wife's vehicle and all of the failure occurrences were when she was operating the vehicle. She clearly states that her safety was severely compromised with each occurrence as the vehicle was extremely difficult to safely stop. Additionally, was told by the dealer that although this issue for this model year have been recalled by Ford, our vehicle is not covered. With all of the occurrences of this very important safety issue Ford motor needs to cover the cost of the repairs. A full and complete recall needs to be issued because the vehicle's driver as well as the driving public is at risk of injury and even death especially since the problem is intermittent and when it does occur is a complete surprise to the driver.
