Brake Disc Pads Problems of Ford Edge - part 2

Brakes squeak loudly when the weather is hot or after driving the car for 45 and returning to the car to drive after an hour or two of not driving. The brakes become touchy and bite when returning to drive after the car sits for an hour or so. When stopping suddenly at any time, the brakes bite severely. Pads have already been replaced within the first year. Helped but did not solve the problem. Brakes also feel as if they are grinding when returning to drive the car after it sits for an hour or so, after having drove for 45 minutes or so. At times the brakes will squeak and bite first thing in the morning. Dealer has replaced the pads, noted the biting, but the problem still exists.

Slowing at a stop and depressed breaks. Breaks did not engage pedal became very hard to push vehicle rolled through stop. Let off braked and depressed again and breaks slowly engaged. This happened several times before I could get home to park vehicle. Did not happen at higher speeds only 30mph and below. Checked break fluid level, ok. Pulled wheel and break pads were fine. Will be contacting dealer to see if service advisorys have been issued.

While backing out of a parking space, the brake pedal was hard to push and the vehicle was slow to stop. The car started to stall and a warning "low engine oil pressure" was displayed, then the car recovered when in drive. Approximately a week later, the brakes were again hard to push while backing out of a parking space. In the following week, the same issue occurred multiple times. Last week, the brakes became hard to push and the vehicle was slow to stop while in drive. I have parked the car until service can be performed. Fluids and brake pads have been checked and are not the issue. In searching the web and various Ford forums, and speaking with a mechanic, it appears to be a brake booster issue. The car is a 2011 model with <24,000 miles and is three months out of manufacturers warranty.

My brakes all of a sudden became very spongy with no warning. With a high pitch squealing noise when I pressed the petal to the floor. Then the petal became very hard to press. Mechanic told me I needed new rear brake pads and rotors. After replacing I am still having same problems with nearly crashing into the back of another vehicle. Now I am told I need to replace power brake booster.

This is my daughters vehicle. She complained of a noise in the front end while braking and sometimes while just driving at moderate speeds. Upon inspection I discovered that the inner brake pads on both front brakes were totally worn out and grinding on the metal while the outer pads had plenty of brake material left. The rotors were ruined! the rear brake pads also had plenty of material left. This is totally unacceptable and dangerous.

On 7/30/2007 I purchased a 2007 Ford Edge 4dr awd sel plus from gary crossley Ford of kansas city, mo. On 1/22/2008 with 9,581 miles on vehicle I took car to dealer account a rotational rubbing noise. Which I assumed was a brake problem. On 2/22/2008 with 10,271 miles returned to dealer for additional follow up on brake(?) noise. On 2/26/2008 with 10,710 miles returned vehicle to dealer for additional work to correct rotational rubbing noise. On 2/29/2008 returned vehicle to dealer with same complaint and at this time they replaced all four (4) brake rotors and all brake pads. This repaired problem until approx. 21,918 miles on vehicle when the rotational rubbing sound returned. I notified dealer but was going on a vacation and could not have repair work done at that time. On 1/8/2009 with 23,918 miles on vehicle I returned to dealership with same problem. They advised at that time that the brakes had 12,000 mile warranty and I was out of luck. I called 1-800-392-Ford and they placed a complaint with the Ford customer care service team and when sabrina of the customer care service team responded to me she advised that she had talked with gary crossley Ford of kansas city, mo and could not help additionally. I do not think that it is safe driving a vehicle with the amount of brake noise that is present. At the present time there has not been an accident and I want to avoid an accident.
