1 Sway Bar problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2021

My 2011 Ford Edge sel was recalled for an issue with the brake booster system. It was taken in and �fixed�. 3 years later it started failing again and was apparently fixed. Now 3 years later it's failed again. These systems are designed to last up to 150,000 miles. I just hit 100,000 and will have to have it fixed fir the 3rd time. Also because of the faulty system brake fluid has leaked onto the sway bar resulting in deterioration.

2 Sway Bar problem

Failure Date: 01/05/2016

Without any forewarning, we were driving along and heard and felt several loud pops coming from under the hood. When we stopped, we found a broken windshield, the passenger side wheel/tire had collapsed into the wheel well, and the engine hood was pushed up roughly 6" above where it's supposed to be. Upon initial inspection, we noticed that the passenger side strut tower, which is of a ridiculously weak 2-piece design, the 2 pieces had completely separated from each other. No potholes or other road hazards were hit, we were driving in a straight line. The approximate 9 spot welds holding the two pieces of the strut tower together completely separated. When the vehicle was inspected by 2 separate shops, both claimed that was absolutely no damage to any other suspension components, including control arms, ball joints, sway bar, sway bar end links, or anything else that would've caused the strut tower to break in such a fashion. Several incidents of this have been reported online and references can be shared upon request.
