general problems of the 2009 Ford Edge

When engaging brake pedal becomes very hard to push and having to push pedal all the way to the floor where it slows finally and then stops. It does not stop when push the brake pedal like normal. Pedal at the floor still not stopping then finally stops but by that time I could have ran into another car or through at stop light. I almost hit someone because of this.

Brake booster failure. $947. 45 to repair out of pocket expense. Thank god I was not injured or killed, nor was anyone else, or property damaged, as I was able to avoid a collision. There is a class action lawsuit over this defective Ford part.

Advised by mechanic that there are issues with the brake booster master cylinder that are causing serious braking issues. He's seen this issue in many Ford vehicles of similar age recently. Said this issue is serious and can cause major damage to vehicle and safety concerns for drivers and passengers if brakes go out when vehicle is in use.

Extremely hard to press brake pedal. Can not stop suddenly. Ford dealer has confirmed brake booster went out.

When driving the vechicle at any speed when needing to break the break pedal will go to the floor the car is unable to driven safely and could cause a wreck. Went and had the brakes changed to see if they would help mechanic stated that he orginally believed their was air in the line but he stated he was unable to resolve the issue and knew that the Lincoln SUV had this same issue and was recalled. If someone could call me to discuss the issue that would be great.

The break pedal goes straight to the floor which makes it hard to break in enough time which could cause a wreck. I went to a break shop and the breaks were changed but the technician stated there is a issue with the abs system and he knew of a recall in the Lincoln mkz for this problem. He stated the Ford dealership would need to fix this and it should be recalled during this year model other Ford models are recalled but not seeing it for the Edge.

I have been taking my car for at least the past 3 years to have the brakes looked at. The pedal goes too far to the floor. I have taken it to 3 different dealerships to have the brakes looked at, only to be told there is no problem. I just had new front brakes and rotors put on August 2019. My son was driving the car to work this morning and had an accident going through a toll booth. He said when he pressed on the brakes the car just would not stop at a good rate, and the pedal was spongie. There needs to be a recall on the brake system for 2009 Ford Edges. I am not the only one with this complaint. Thank god nobody was injured, but what is it going to take to get this taken care of.

I have search the internet and there is a large reports of a power booster failure in certain years of this Ford model. I searched my VIN # and it was not included in the recall even though I read from others that had the same issue that I'm having now. The brake peddle at times is tough to press, like no play in it while I am trying to stop it is difficult. I have to pump the peddle to get it to work. This is very dangerous and I have read many others having the same experience.

Brakes are making a sound like its blowing air. The brake gets really hard to press the brake peddle while stopping, then gets really soft and I can push it all the way down. I have only owned my car for a couple of weeks and I have almost been in 2 accidents because of the brakes. Usually this happens while slowing down at traffic lights.

"takata recall" have to press all the down for brakes to work. Doesnt do it all the time.

The vehicle, suddenly became very hard to stop. The brake pedal felt as though it was stuck and required a huge amount of pressure to slow the vehicle to a complete stop. Fortunately, we were going at a relatively low speed when the problem first occurred. However, we had driven from south florida to atlanta at highway speed without incident and suddenly the problem was there. Just prior to the hard braking, there was a loud whistling sound inside the vehicle, coming from under or behind the dashboard. It sound a though there was a vacuum leak, but the sound lasted only a short time. Later when I started the vehicle I heard the whistling sound again. I checked under the hood and dash but saw nothing obviously wrong. As the original owner of this vehicle, I was very surprised when the Ford service rep in atlanta told what the problem was. This vehicle, currently has 40,650 miles on it. At the time of the incident the odometer read, 38, 648 miles. It cost me $658 to have the problem corrected. No way this type problem should occur at this mileage. Upon checking further, I found that Ford had issued a customer satisfaction program (csp) 13n02 to address this very problem in model years 2010 through 2013. In speaking to Ford they told me there was nothing that could be done, since my "VIN" was not included in the csp. Ford further stated, if the nhsa demeaned my problem to the same as the problem as covered in csp 13n02, and if there are enough complaints, then perhaps a new program would be initiated. And at that time I could be reimbursed for the repairs. In an online search I see there are others with this vacuum booster assembly failure. Also in the nhsa database there are four others with newer vehicles experiencing this same problem. Perhaps Ford should asked to review this problem again.
