11 Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 12/12/2020

On 12/12/2020 I was driving approx. 25 mph when my low brake fluid warning light came on. I immediately braked to get off the main road. My car did not slow down enough as I was pulling into a parking lot. I hit a curb, popped my front tire and my car finally stopped. Upon inspection by aaa, it was discovered that my front passenger side brake line was leaking. Car was towed home. On Monday 12/14/2020, I spoke with Ford who towed my 2017 Ford Edge to the dealership. There are no parts available and they do not know when the part will be available. The letter I received in sept. 2020 stated that there is a recall for this issue and to continue driving the car. Ford would contact me when the part came in - approx. Q1 2021. At this point, I'm without a car and could have injured myself, sister and 3 kids because an issue Ford is aware of and has no estimated date to fix.

Failure Date: 07/08/2020

The recall on my vehicle (described) is for the possibility of a hydraulic brake line to rupture, I have been waiting for months and the parts I am told are not available?? should I just park the car for months waiting? or can something be done to wake Ford motor company up? I already had my brake line fail and I had to pay for the repair, this is insane.

13 Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 12/20/2019

Was driving home from work when I realized my brake had decompressed and went all the way to the floorboard. Got home and my husband noticed I had brake fluid all over underneath my vehicle. My left passenger side brake line burst while driving, causing the brake pedal to depress all the way to floor and making the vehicle extremely difficult to stop (by the time I made it home it was hardly stopping at all). Ford would not use my warranty to replace they said I hit something. On (12/20/2019) driving home from work this time the front passenger brake line seems to have burst. (again while applying the brake this time at a stop light on a city street) and again causing the pedal to go all the way to the floor and making the car extremely difficult to stop. This is a hazardous situation and very concerning that it has occurred to with my brake lines twice within the past year, and all while the car was only 3 years old and had only 45,000 miles. This is a problem I believe Ford needs to address, from what I have gathered online this is an issue quite a few others have faced.
