The front brake hose ruptured and the brakes went out. This is consistent with the recall NHTSA campaign # 20v469000. Ford dealer is refusing to fix it saying only the rear hose is covered. But it clearly states in the recall released on Aug 2020 it is the front hose.

I am trying to file a complaint about no parts for recalls. I have had three recalls on this vehicle and none of them has been rectified due to no parts available. I'm trying to find out why we cannot get parts to fix the transmission bell housing or the brake hoses on these recall notices? I also have a recall for the rear camera. I'm not sure if these recalls are just for my information, or if they ever intend to get parts? the transmission recall is from several years back, and now the recall quit showing up. I guess it magically took care of itself. Thank you.

Ford Edge 2012 limited 2. 0l2fmdk3k97cba41619 the brake pedal went all the way to the floor while my wife was driving a few times. The brakes did not stop or slow the car at all! she pumped the brake pedal and braking came back. But, after that we could not trust the brake system. We paid autonation Ford in fort worth, texas $2,694. 45 on 10/11/2023 to replace the abs system, after their recommendation that this will fix the problem. This did fix the problem until recently this past week on 9/21/2025, when the brake pedal went to the floor without any braking, just continued to move forward in our driveway. The next push on the brake pedal did provide braking but now seems a little soft. My wife’s sister also has a Ford Edge with similar or the same symptoms, a 2013 Edge. My daughter has a 2012 Ford fusion with similar or the same symptoms. This is a very dangerous safety problem with these Ford cars! I suspect that this problem is more widespread than just my family, more Ford Edge vehicles with this abs problem. A Ford Edge abs recall might be required to help Ford customers be safe!.

There are two safety recalls for my car. Service brakes and rear camera. The camera stopped working four years ago. I took it to Ford, they said we can replace it for $1500. However, now they don’t have the parts. What kind of scam is Ford and NHTSA doing? the brake line recall was first reported over four years ago, I know this because I received a letter back then. I was told by the chapman Ford, I NJ, that when the parts come in they would contact me. Well that never happened. Again what kind of scam is being run here. I’m 73, I really need this camera repaired, I can’t afford $1500. So when are these parts available. A letter should be sent to all the people with an eta when parts will be available for recalls.

The first incident occurred in GA on vacation in June. While my spouse was driving, he said the brakes seemed squishy and were not right. When he braked to stop the car to get gas, his foot went almost to the floor. After getting gas, I drove and they did not seem right. The second incident happened the beginning of August and I was coming down a relatively steep hill. I went to brake and my foot went all the way to the floor and did not completely stop. I took the car to my mechanic and he wasn't sure of the problem, and to another mechanic. The 2nd thought it was the brake booster. I then took it to the Ford dealership where I bought it last August and had them look at it. They said it is the abs module and that I am #829 on the list of 1300 people that need that part, that Ford has no idea when it will be available. The third incident was last sat, [xxx] and I had no brakes at all, so I had to take my husband's car to work. In all the incidents, I was at risk, as well as my family and the people driving in front & back of me. I have also had issues of the ac coming in for no reason, and after I turn it down, it turns itself back on at full blast. This car is not safe.

The 2013 Ford Edge began giving trouble after sitting at an intersection or pulling out of the driveway to enter major traffic. The vehicle would hesitate to accelerate as though it is running out of gas but it isn't out of gas. When you continue pressing on the accelerator it would jerk then accelerate. We barely escaped being hit from the rear because the vehicle died while pulling out onto the feeder, whereupon I struggled to pull into a nearby gas station. The brake pedal is generally stiff but can be depressed, however, in other instances, when braking the brake pedal sometimes becomes hard to depress but becomes easier after the car is driving for a long stretch, such as the freeway. When you start the car the panel is normal but as you begin driving the check brake system failure light begins to appear in red and the abs light and the oil light. Similar incidents as the previously mentioned situations have happened on numerous occasions.
