Brakes Failed problems of the 2009 Ford Edge

Pedal went hard and down to the floor. Came close to rear ending car in front of me. From what I've heard this is a common issue and Ford doesn't have a recall, although they do with newer years of the same model. Very dangerous and these cars should have a recall. . It's absurd that a brake booster should fail and not have a recall with a known deadly issue.

When driving my 2009 Ford Edge with under 46,000 miles, the brake pedal has a spongy feel and it becomes quite difficult to use the brake at times. It also makes a hissy or squealing noise. At times is very, very hard to press the brake down to stop the car. My husband took the vehicle to an independent auto repairman. He said the brake booster was bad. It had failed. My husband talked with an independent auto repair person. He said I had a bad brake booster. My husband called the Ford dealer and after running the VIN number, he was told that my car did not qualify for a recall. The brake booster has failed. The car has under 46,000 miles on it. I have it scheduled to be repaired at my own expense as this is a dangerous driving situation. Why did Ford have an extended warranty coverage for the 2007-2008 and 2010-2015 Edge models but omitted the 2009 models?.

The contact owns a 2009 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the brake booster failed, which prevented the power braking functionality. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake booster failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. When the contact questioned why the vehicle was not included in customer satisfaction campaign number: 13n02, he was not given an answer. The contact was informed that nothing could be done and to file a complaint with NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 89,529.

The brake pedal started with a spongy feel but now has become very hard at times to press. The service technician told me the brake booster is failing. He advised me to check with Ford to see if the brake booster was covered since other vehicles with similar problem had a recall or service warranty. Ford motor company was not will to cover it due to it did not fall under there recall for the 2009 model year but covers model year 2007 - 2008 then 2010 - 2013. My vehicle was place in the shop to have the defective part replace at my expense.

The contact owns a 2009 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the vehicle would not decelerate when the brake pedal was depressed. The dealer diagnosed that the brake booster failed. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000.

Brakes seem to fail to engage, sometimes they are hard to press and then will go all the way to the floor. Sometimes the engage really hard and cause me to snap forward hard. I talked to Ford and they say there are no current recalls or issues with the braking system. Vehicle moving and also when idling at stop sign I have to put in neutral to prevent the car from moving.

I contacted the NHTSA in may of 2009 because Ford motor company refused to honor my warranty and give my a car that was drivable. I purchased a brand new Ford Edge with 45 miles. The dealer told me to hit the road after three service request, to repair my car delivered with a bad frame. I have been forced to drive this car for almost one year now with no help from anywhere. I complained at least four times to NHTSA about my steering, suspension and my brakes failing. Toyota owners get help, but not americans. Ford motor company told me do not come bring my car back for service anymore because there are not going to honor my warranty. Almost one year later I guess they were right. What is a warranty? my hands hurt and there is no justice for american consumers stuck with bad products, only death or injury will help you get a dependable american made car.
