The brake booster failure.
Brake booster failed while driving vehicle (in motion), in investigating recalls on brake boosters, found Ford Edge from 2010 to 2013 has recall.
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.
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.

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!!!.

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.
