The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 45 mph while pressing on the brake pedal the contact heard air coming from the brake and the warning light stating low brake air pressure illuminated.

The dealer was contacted but did not provide any assistance. The manufacturer was contacted, and the manufacturer stated that the vehicle was out of warranty and advised to contact NHTSA.

When depressing the brakes, heard a hissing sound and had a spongy break feeling. Could not stop as desired at a low speed and traveled into the busy intersection. Took car to Ford dealer and they diagnosed it as a brake booster failure. Was notified that Ford was fixing this for some vins under 150k mileage, which my vehicle is. Was told that this agency was the deciding factor if my VIN was covered under this repair from Ford. Right time, right place, we could have been crushed. The dealership confirmed the issue with the Ford Edge, and the fact that there was a customer satisfaction sent to some VIN's for the 2013 Ford Edge. There were no warnings at all of this failure. None. One time was enough to go have it checked out before someone was injured or killed.
