Service Brakes Problems of Ford Edge - part 1

Break booster break fell to the floor, slow to stop, spongy. I was able to put on my hazards and roll to safety stop. Huge risk if I was going faster or turning a curve. Dangerous to me and others to not being able to stop the problem hasn’t been taken to the shop yet as it was closed and I had the same problem in 2025 and 2023 which were confirmed and fixed with Ford parts. I am suspecting it is the same issue. Even if replaced the car is likely not safe WI the this part failing 3 times in less than 4 years. No warnings or symptoms, just falls to the floor and spongy break reaction.

While driving my 2016 Ford Edge titanium, I felt a sudden popping sensation while applying the brakes and the brake pedal immediately went to the floor, resulting in major loss of braking ability. I was able to slowly and carefully get the vehicle parked before completely losing stopping ability. Brake fluid appeared to be leaking from the rear driver-side brake area. This vehicle previously experienced front brake hose failures related to prior Ford brake hose recalls. One front brake hose failed first, and the opposite front side later failed as well. Ford previously reimbursed me for one of those repairs after the recall became officially active. The current rear brake failure symptoms closely match Ford recall 25s87 / NHTSA recall 25v544000 involving rear brake hose rupture and brake fluid leakage in 2015–2018 Ford Edge vehicles. Landmark Ford in tigard, oregon and the Ford customer relationship center have both confirmed that this repair is tied to the pending “advanced notice” rear brake hose recall affecting this vehicle platform, although the recall is not yet officially active. This failure created a serious safety hazard because the vehicle experienced sudden loss of braking, with no warning, while the vehicle was in motion creating a serious risk of collision, injury, or death to myself, my passengers, and others on the roadway because the vehicle could not safely stop under normal braking conditions. No prior warning lamps or brake failure warnings were observed before the incident.

The 2017 Ford Edge was parked in a parking spot, the shifter visually and physically engaged in the park position. Exited the vehicle went into the store. A vehicle passing by behind the Ford Edge, noticed it slowly rolling backwards and did not stop colliding with the back of her truck. The Ford Edge still showed as it was in park during this occurrence after for the research, it does appear that Ford does have an issue with this and it is a known issue just no specific recall issued for this specific Ford Edge.

As I was driving into a parking lot space, I stepped on the brake pedal, and it sank to the floor. I rapidly pumped the pedal 2 or 3 times, but it continued to sink to the floor. As the car continued moving forward, I tried to avoid colliding with landscape items, drove between 2 parked cars, scraping one or both of them, and injured a pedestrian. My vehicle stopped when I jammed the gear control into the “park” position.

The brake pedal does not feel right and the car continues to roll. My mechanic found that the brake pedal vacuum boosters commonly fail on this model. He repaired it and less than a year later it has failed again. I heard the air leak when pressing the pedal and the car does not stop, it continues to roll. I've had to park it because this is a safety issue. I do not want to risk my life or cause property damage. The car has less than 130,000 miles on it and no warning lights or messages come on the dash for this. This repair was over $600 but the manufacturer should fix this and make sure it's right and safe.

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.

Its Fords problem, the recall is there posted, my hose has failed, and I cant even the car to the dealer to get it fixed. They will not tow it or pay to fix it.

Brake pedal felt mushy, took vehicle to repair shop and had master cylinder replaced. Problem persisted so took vehicle to a different repair shop and had brake booster replaced. Pedal felt firmer but then a hissing sound could be heard while driving without using brakes. Had brake booster replaced again as well as the vacuum hose connected to booster. Now pedal goes all the way the floor requiring excessive pressure to stop vehicle and a high pitched hissing sound is heard when applying pressure to brake pedal. Hissing sound still present while car in motion without touching brakes. Vehicle had to be put into neutral to stop. Backing out of driveway, vehicle continues to roll slightly even when pedal pushed to floor. Mo warning lights have ever come on and brake fluid reservoir needs frequent additions of fluid.

I am submitting this letter to report a serious safety defect involving the brake system on my 2013 Ford Edge (VIN: [xxx]). The vehicle is experiencing a brake failure consistent with known abs/hcu pump issues that have affected similar Ford Edge model years. On xxx, the vehicle was inspected at randall reed’s planet Ford 635 in garland, texas. Service advisor luis rodriguez confirmed the brake concern and provided a repair estimate of $3,500. The dealership indicated that the failure is related to the abs/hcu system. The symptoms include: a spongy brake pedal inconsistent brake pressure reduced braking effectiveness increased stopping distance unpredictable brake response these symptoms match those described in Ford recall 16c10, which addressed abs/hcu pump failures on certain 2012–2014 Ford Edge vehicles. Although my VIN is not included in the recall, the failure pattern is identical and presents a clear safety hazard. I have contacted Ford motor company multiple times, including through executive escalation channels, but I have not received a response or assistance. Given the nature of this defect and its similarity to a previously acknowledged safety issue, I believe this may indicate a broader pattern that warrants investigation. I respectfully request that NHTSA review this matter to determine whether the existing recall should be expanded to include additional vins or model ranges affected by the same abs/hcu defect. Thank you for your attention to this safety concern. I am available to provide additional documentation, including the dealership diagnosis, repair estimate, and service notes. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

On April 15, 2026, I brought my 2018 Ford Edge sel to an authorized Ford dealership with a loud rattling noise at startup and an illuminated check engine light. Ford motor company had previously sent me two written notices (September 2022 and June 2023) identifying a known cracked flexplate defect on my vehicle under customer satisfaction program 22n12, describing these exact symptoms. The defect was never repaired at any of my 16 service visits. Additionally, on September 2, 2025 — just 8 days after safety recall 25s87 for the rear brake flexible hose was issued — the dealership presented that recall repair to me as a $532 optional paid service without disclosing it was a free safety recall I was entitled to by federal law.

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.
