4 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2022

The brakes on my otherwise perfect 2013 Ford Edge recently went to the floorboard while I was driving. The first time, I could have killed a pedestrian--which should shock everybody including Ford. The second time, I could've killed several people in the car in front of me and started a deadly chain reaction. Ford dealers have told me that there is a recall on the 2011 & 2012 Ford Edges for a replacement of the abs module--but not for my year! people are going to die if the greedy Ford is not forced to recall this year too. I've been told by numerous independent mechanics and have spent hundreds of dollars which leaves the brakes still not working properly. Ford dealers have quoted me $2000 + to replace the abs module (ecu & hcu). I am a senior citizen and cannot afford anything near that. Please . . . Please help me and demand that Ford recall this potentially lethal defect immediately.

6 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 05/07/2021

After purchasing my 2013 Ford Edge sel from a used car dealer, I noticed that the car would brake it self and come to a complete stop at 55 miles an hour. This scared me so I went to the Ford dealer riser Ford in hot springs arkansas about the problem. The dealer told me that no codes came up for the brake problem and nothing could be done until a code came up. I took the care to my mechanic and he told me that after driving the car himself he checked the temp on all four rotors and the front drivers side rotor was 30 degrees warmer than the rest. So either the sensor or module must be bad. This vehicle is dangerous to drive when your brakes lock up at high speed or at any speed. Ford should be sued for not correcting dangerous equipment.
