Brake cylinder booster system failure. Vehichle VIN not included in previous recalls. Car would not brake; hissing sounds; had to put in neutral and push brake to the floor. This is not acceptable or safe in a city with the traffic we have in houston. Independent dealer estimate to fix exceeds $1200. Ford needs to recall this vehicle for continued brake issues.
As I was coming to a stoplight in the city at about 25-30 mph, my brakes engaged for about a quarter of a second, then gave out almost entirely. I had to pump brakes and hit the emergency brakes to stop from hitting a stopped at an intersection. Thankfully I brake early and stopped short a few inches. After inspection the culprit is the master brake cylinder.
I have a 2013 Ford Edge, brakes go to floor but not all the time. 1 st time I had booster done under recall Dec 2016 mileage 59080, 2 nd oct 2017 brakes did it again mileage 66982, put another booster in under recall. Dec 2017 mileage 68078 happen again, this time the dealer check out the hold brake system (the slide, calibers etc. ) everything ok. June 2018 happen again mileage 71926 . I did have an auto repairman try and it went to the floor on him as well. I spoke with Ford about it Ford gave me a case # cas- 15014600 said I needed a dealer to check it again. I went to prime Ford in auburn MA (the same as the other 3 times), they checked it and could not find and thing wrong, they asked me to leave it for a couple of days which I did and they still could not find a problem. I know it is not the master brake cylinder because when they changed the booster they would have notice leakage. Prime has gone over the whole brake system made sure everything works ok. My problem is you don't know when this will happen, I looked on car problem site and saw where the Ford Edge has had over 300 brake problems and some of the those had the same problem. But what happens now if you need to stop real quick and it happens? car was moving around 30 - 35m/h when you go to stop.
