Brake Whistling Noise problems of the 2013 Ford Edge

Brake pedal is hard to depress but work as though it lost power brake feature. Hear a whistling noise when depressing brake inside cabin. Brake oerste fine iniatlly after car has sat but after running a while, like on cruise control, the brake pedal becomes very hard to depress .

At approximately 76,000 miles, my 2013 Ford Edge's brakes failed. I was on the interstate when I hit the brakes. The brakes were hard to press & the vehicle did not slow down. I pressed down harder & came to a very hard & sudden stop. Thankfully there was no one following & I was able to avoid an accident. I slowed & within a couple of seconds brakes became responsive again. I needed to get home so I drove as slow as possible staying away from other cars, however brakes worked without issues. Approaching home there were multiple stop signs & again the brakes locked & the car did not stop. I also heard a loud whistling noise in the car. I took the car to the dealer & even though the dealer says they know brakes are failing in the 2010-2013 Ford Edges, there is no recall, only a customer service program that does not apply to my VIN. This program number is 13n02 and extends the coverage out to 150k miles on selected vehicle's. I contacted Ford @ 1-866-436-7332 to express my problem & concern. I spoke to 4 different representatives that all recited the same script. The script basically said sorry your car is experiencing a problem and to have a certified Ford dealership fix it at my cost. Apparently someone decided that the expense of the estimated number of people they put at risk of death or injury is still less than what it would cost them to fix their faulty brakes. Here is the kicker, I bought this car certified pre owned in early 2016. How was Ford of port richey, able to certify this car when the brakes were already failing!!!!! they sold me a death trap! I have decided to have a local and highly recommended shop fix my vehicle rather than line the pockets of Ford that seemed ok with placing my family & others at risk while being aware of the problems with the installed faulty brake boosters.

At approximately 46,000 miles, my 2013 Ford Edge's brakes failed. I was on the interstate behind a semi truck when they hit the brakes. Brakes were locked, hard to press and the vehicle did not slow down. Thankfully there was no one on the following lane and I was able to avoid an accident. I decelerated and within a couple of seconds brakes became responsive again. I needed to make it home, drove trying to go as slow as possible and staying away from other cars, however brakes worked without issues. Approaching home there was a stop sign and again I was lucky enough to avoid an accident when the brakes locked and the car did not stop. This time a loud whistling noise filled the cabin. To add insult to injury, even though the dealer says they know brakes are failing in their f150's and Ford Edges, there is no recall, and they made me pay a deductible to fix the car that is under warranty. Apparently someone decided that the expense of the estimated number of people they put at risk of death or injury is still less than what it would cost them to fix their faulty brakes. Here is the kicker, I bought this car certified pre owned in July 2016. I got my car back today, they fixed the faulty brake boosters and the cabin is uncharacteristically quiet. Since I had bought the car there was a quiet hiss when I hit the brakes and the sales person told me that was normal for the car, I never had a Ford before and the brakes did work originally so I didn't give it another thought. But now that its quiet I know that the brakes were failing at that point. How was bill currie Ford in tampa, able to certify this car when the brakes were already failing!!!!! they sold me a death trap!.
