I purchased a new 2008 Ford Edge in January of 2009. I began experiencing braking problems early in 2011. This car has about 15000 miles on it when I took ijt back to the dealer. When I described the problem to the maintenace manager and the mechanic, both stated that it was problem due to rust on the rotors. The mechanic removed the wheels and showed me the rotors that were completely rusted. He then removed the rotors and showed me one that had a piece about the size of a dime that had physically rusted away from the rotor. I asked how that had happened as I keep my car in the garage and had very little mileage on it. He stated that the car had probably sat in the lot for 6 months prior to my purchase. I complained to the managers at the dealer and also wrote a letter to Ford about this subject. Although all of these persons admit it is due to rust, they would not take resoponsibility for the damage. Since automobiles were being sold at a slow pace when I purchased the car, this problem must exist on others. Maybe you should look into the problem.

My wife and I both drive Ford Edge crossover SUV's. Both cars have major problems with the brake system. When you are driving slowly & got to put on the brakes, the brakes make a terrible loud grabbing noise & the car kind of skips to a stop. I have done some research on the internet and found out that many people have the same issue, but Ford refuses to do a recall. The Ford service rep. At the dealership I go to is trying to tell me that this is how the brakes are supposed to be. There is a major problem with these cars and something has to be done. We had another Ford Edge that was destroyed in a rear end collision & it also had the same brake problem. Three for three is not a good thing. The rear end collision was not a result of the brake problem.
