Brakes Failed problems of the 2013 Ford Edge - part 2

Brake booster failed. Ford issued a letter covering this defect earlier, but refused to repair or pay for repair. Situation was dangerous, and I had it repaired for $591. 05. Please help me obtain reimbursement. Brakes would loose power.

The brakes have failed on me 3 times now, the dealership claims the brake booster was bad and replaced it the first time, the second time claims it was a bad piston inside the break booster. The brakes failed once when a car pulled out in front of me and I had to slam on the brakes, the second time was driving normally and the third today after the front tires lost traction in wet grass. This makes it to were you have to push the peddle all the way to the floor and hope the car comes to a stop. The check engine light comes on every time you accelerate to hard (like entering an interstate) then will go away after a few days. The code that pops up for it is turbo/super charger under boost. This makes the car really sluggish and hard to get up to speed.

7/9/17 brake pedal on my 2013 Ford Edge went to the floor while making a sudden stop almost rear ending the vehicle in front of me. Brake pedal made a sound like a balloon deflating as it went to the floor. Even in park the brake pedal would travel to the floor making the sound of a deflating balloon. Took the car to the shop and was diagnosed as a brake booster failure costing me $630. Mileage is 46,000.

Brake booster failed at 65,375 miles. Ford has issued an extended warranty on brake boosters, including 2013 models, however I was told my car was manufactured a couple of months after the manufacture dates of cars included in the warranty - so there was no warranty coverage for this $891. 82 repair. The brake response on my car would intermittently become very stiff (hard to depress the brake pedal) and difficult to brake. This occurred in various places - including stopping at a stop sign before turning onto a very busy street, and at intersections. A little hissing noise could be heard while braking, as well. This unpredictable resistance to braking efforts created a dangerous driving condition. I have read many accounts of other drivers whose brakes also depressed completely, without satisfactory braking, due to this defective brake booster. I was told that the booster installed on my car was not defective, but I am convinced it was, as well as the others that have been replaced by the extended warranty. I feel strongly that this should be a Ford recall issue, rather than being addressed as a warranty item, due to the danger of operating a vehicle with a defective braking system (due to faulty brake booster design), and I believe my car was built with a faulty brake booster. I was told my car was built with a Ford motorcraft brake booster (motorcraft part #2005(brb-47, Ford part #ba1z2005a). The replacement booster installed to replace the failed booster was the same number.

The brake booster failed at around 40,000 miles. While driving slowly with pressure applied to the brake the car slows but then when I apply additional pressure to stop the brake is hard and rolls to a stop instead of stopping where it should. If I am parking it will almost roll into the car parked in front. Dealership said the booster is gone.
