Brake Fluid Leak problems of the 2016 Ford Edge

In December we went to drive our car and noticed that the break pedal went all the way to the floor and break fluid was leaking out of it. Ford said the reamdy for the recall was not yet available. We had to pay out of pocket for the repair of the right break line then last my husband was driving and the problem occurred again with the left break line. Ford still has no solution!! it's been over 6 months since I've been notified of the recall and I'm about to be out $600 to fix the breaks on my car!.

The brakes completely failed (there was no crash was on a side street) 27 Feb 2020 drivers front brake line broke and the build all leaked out . . . Complete break failure a second failure occurred on 18 Dec 202, this time was nearing a stop light when it occurred again, this time the fluid all leaked out to the from brake on the front passenger side in both cases the Edge had to be towed to the Ford dealer. Had either of these happened in heavier traffic or on an off-ramp this it would have been an accident. This is not acceptable.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a stop, the brake pedal went to the floorboard.

The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 20v469000 (service brakes, service brakes, hydraulic). The contact called oxmoor Ford Lincoln (100 oxmoor ln, louisville, ky 40222) and was informed that parts would not be available until the early part of 2021. The contact stated that the manufacture had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The vehicle was not yet taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 131,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle did not immediately stop, causing the braking distance to be extended. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer - car sense located at 21 pottstown pike, chester springs, PA 19425, who diagnosed that the brake fluid had leaked from the vehicle causing the braking system to malfunction. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer sloan Ford located at 415 w Lincoln hwy, exton, PA 1934 and the manufacturer were both notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was included in the NHTSA campaign number 20v469000 (service brakes) however, the parts needed to repair the defect were not yet available. The failure mileage was 60,000.

Left front brake hose ruptured. I was driving and the check brake light came on. Added brake fluid. The next morning I took out and came to the end of the steet, had to use the emergency brake to stop. I took it to my mechanic, the brake hose had ruptured causing the brake fluid to leak out.

It began with the driver side, the brake line started leaking and the brake pedal needed to be pushed to the floor to initiate any form of braking on the car. The car was just serviced, so it was thought that the dealer messed something up when fixing the car. Then, once it was fixed 3 months later it happened again, this time the leakage was on the passenger side of the car. Once again the brakes need to be pressed to the floor to work and fluid was leaking all over. Took it to the dealer again to be fixed. They said it needed to be paid for since bumper to bumper was only covered for 36,000 miles. Both times the brake lines started to leak (we were never given a reason by the dealer how it occured) while the car was parked and when starting the car, the brake needed to be pushed down all the way to start the car and there were warning lights that the brake fluid was low (due to the leakage). There was multiple attempts to contact Ford regarding the issue with the car and they said since that specific part was not covered under their extended service program that we had to pay for the repairs. We thought the first time (7/15/2019) was a freak accident or the mechanic messed up when changing the fluids, but then the same issue happened on the other side 3 months later (10/14/2019) and that should not be a coincidence.

Sudden failure of brakes (pedal depressed to floor) pulling out of store parking lot. Ford repair noted this was due to brake fluid leak from right front brake due to �excessive material fatigue�.
