There has been no accident as of yet. However Ford has sat on a recall for potential bad break lines on the 2017 Ford Edge for 8 months. Loss of breaks could easily result in multiple deaths. I would consider this as an egregious time to get flexible break line. A search of Ford parts stores indicate it is available. [xxx] have the parts listed as Ford f2gz-2282-c brake hose assembly Ford f2gz-2282-c brake hose assembly passenger side (replaced by f2gz-2282-g) and Ford f2gz-2282-d brake hose assembly driver side (replaced by f2gz-2282-h) at $10. 72 ea. This seems to include the updated part number. What is the hold up on such a serious safety issue resolution? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.

Consumer complaint summary nature of dispute: refusal to reimburse for safety-related recall repair (recall 25s87). Summary: on April 6, 2026, my 2017 Ford Edge (VIN: [xxx] ) became undrivable due to a failure of the rear brake jounce hoses. This specific defect is the subject of Ford safety recall 25s87. Because the vehicle was a safety hazard, I paid $1,854. 43 for an immediate repair at an authorized Ford dealership. Despite the dealer successfully performing the repair, Ford motor company (case #xxx-xxx) has refused my request for reimbursement and rental assistance. Ford claims "parts are not officially available" until April 2026, yet they allowed their dealer to sell me the parts for a private repair. This refusal violates my legal right to a free remedy for a safety defect under federal law. [xxx] and [xxx] (unknown last name) reiterated the refusal to reimburse my repair an told me after I have it repaired when the new parts are available I can submit my invoice for potential (not guaranteed) reimbursement.

While stopped at closed train tracks, my brake petal depressed about 2 inches further. After this I was having trouble breaking, I quickly pulled into a parking lot and had my car towed a nearby dealership. There is a recall out for the break line of my car, 25v544. The dealership called and confirmed that the ruptured break line is due the to outstanding recall that currently has no resolution. The dealership is trying to charge me for the repair of the break line, but promises a reimbursement once a solution is released for the recall. I believe that since the recall has had no resolution since September 2025, they have not fixed the issue in a reasonable amount of time and should not charge me for the break line repair.

Recall notice 25v544 was sent out Aug 2025, and it's the end of April 2026 and nothing has been announced. Called my local dealer and they said it is now looking like may for a remedy. My brakes failed from this recall in February and its undrivable. . . And Ford is not doing anything to address this.

I was driving the vehicle and the brakes failed. The Ford dealership said that the parts were unavailable for the repair. I took to my local repair shop. There was a brake system leak and it needed an emergency repair. Ford is refusing to reimburse the repair even though their website and dealer say the part is unavailable from them.

On February 14th while operating the vehicle I experienced a braking failure where the brake pedal went to the floor and braking distance was increased. I had the vehicle towed to Ford of columbus in columbus, in on the morning of Feb. 16th where it was confirmed that the rear brake hose had blown due to the associated recall. The failure is exactly due to the recall as acknowledged by both Ford motor company and the dealership. Ford corporate acknowledged (case number xxx) that the repair should not be my financial responsibility yet they continue to demand that I pay out of pocket now for an interim repair because the "official" fix is not ready. By refusing to authorize a no cost repair for a vehicle that has already failed due to their recall, Ford is denying a safety remedy and forcing me to bear the financial burden of a known defect. I do not believe it is my responsibility to pay now and then have to jump through hoops to seek a refund at a "later date" determined by Ford. This is a deceptive and bad faith practice by Ford. I have called Ford motor company twice and have utilized the chat once. I have not heard back from the dealership in nearly 24 hours since asking for an update on the status of the repair that I have since approved.

At this point, I have been told to come in for a diagnostic check (my time off from work), but no parts and cannot fix it if the brake hose is leaking, my rear view camera is acting up at least on a weekly basis, can be at times more often then that, and they do not have the parts, also Ford is not making the parts at this time per warrentary employee at the dealership. ???? so consumer safety with Ford is - do not care about customer safety? I have to stop and take time for a diagnostic check, to be told yes or no if yes nothing can be done, if no let's say in a week it start to leak, again the parts are no being made at this time my recall letter is from 9/1/2025 over 5 months almost half a year and parts are not being made??? increase in stopping distance increases the risk of a crash. I thought customer safety was to protect from physical harm, Ford is not doing this so now , was I sold a lemon that cannot be fixed? try backing up from the driveway into the cudelsac and viewing for kids, and pets then all of a sudden camera jumps to moving lines and scares the crap out of you making you jump (while driving) please assist me understanding why part are not being made for these Ford Edges I know I am not the only Ford Edge on the road I see them when I am on the road. Can we please ensure not just drivers of the Ford Edge safety the to potential damage and injuries to the other vehicle or pedestrian that could be hit by these recall Ford Edges with no repairs in site or parts being made.

I am reporting that my 2017 Ford Edge's rear driver-side brake line was leaking so badly today that my brakes did not function. My brake pedal went to the floor! thankfully I was near my home and able to get to my driveway and I could pump my pedal enough to stop my vehicle! it is very concerning that Ford knew of this issue and sent the recall letter back in September but has yet to correct this extreme safety hazard for people. Now I am home, unable to get to my office for work and/or my appointments. The first ability for Ford to service my vehicle is this Friday -- so that's today, wed, thurs and Friday w/o being able to drive at all. I have to pay $136 to get my vehicle towed over to the Ford dealership and now I'll be paying who know what for my vehicle to get fixed. This same dealership just recently performed maintenance on my back brakes within the last few months and no one there said anything to me to indicate there was any issue with my brake lines. I have the recall notice at home for this issue, and the first they said to me when I called was that Ford had still not provided parts to fix this. I consider this a real emergency and I would just say again that I am thankful to god I was close to home, decided to take my dogs down to the katy trail close to my house for a walk and only had to drive a slow rate of speed and short distance to come back home w/ minimal traffic on the road. I normally drive a two lane black top to work for about 30 minutes and I am sure this issue would have caused a terrible accident if I had needed to drive to my office this morning. I certainly hope that Ford motor company plans to reimburse me for this repair and towing. My service date is this Friday, January 9 at chris auffenburg Ford / Lincoln in washington, missouri.
