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.
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.
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.
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.
