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!

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.

A couple months ago, my right rear brake line broke. Yesterday, my left brake line also broke. On the first occasion, a warning lamp appeared on my dash, but it did not alert me this most recent time. On both occasions, my breaks were very spongey and I noticed my car take an extended time to stop, and it never came to a complete stop. I also noticed greasy fluid leaking from the rear. The right side has been repaired by a Ford dealership, but I had to pay for it. I'm still awaiting a repair for this 2nd line and I have brought this recall notice to the dealerships attention. I've requested that the repair the part free of charge but it's not resolved yet.

I purchased my 2014 Ford Edge in December 2023. March 2023, I started having issues with the driver side door lock sensor malfunction as shown in the last photo. The door would not automatically lock when I started driving, sensing that the driver’s side door was still open. It was not. I kept pushing the lock button to lock it, but it kept unlocking even while driving. Eventually it would lock. The cost to fix that was around $600 which I could not afford, and my limited warranty expired. July/August 2025 my abs and traction control sensor lights were lit on my dash. I took the car for service and my very reputable mechanic diagnosed with no codes showing up a few times. Performed a reset twice and the lights came back on after only driving a couple of miles. He contacted Ford who advised he couldn't sell the part because there was a "national hold" on the part. On 9/2 my brakes and traction control failed resulting me rear ending another vehicle. The other safety issue is that my airbags did not deploy upon the collision. I contacted Ford corporation and was advised that Ford will not do anything since my vehicle was older than 10 years. The vehicle is a total loss leaving me with a loan balance of approximately $4,700. 00. This is neither fair nor right for a multimillion-dollar company that will not or choose not to address or acknowledge their responsibility regarding these two very serious safety issues. Since I didn’t die or get seriously hurt, I guess it’s not that big a deal to Ford.

1am filing this complaint regarding my 2016 Ford Edge (VIN: [xxx] ), which has experienced a severe and dangerous failure. Ford has acknowledged a defect in the flexplate at the transmission bellhousing area under customer satisfaction program (csp) 22n12. This defect causes rattling noises and eventually results in flexplate cracks that can lead to sudden loss of power while driving. My vehicle is currently undrivable due to this defect. I have documentation from February 2025 (a&m auto repair, invoice #[xxx]) showing that a technician identified noise from the rear of the engine/front of the transmission area and suspected flexplate cracks at that time. Despite this, my vehicle never received the csp repair. Ford is refusing to cover the repair because my vehicle has exceeded the 120,000-mile cutoff for csp coverage. However, this is not acceptable because: •the defect was documented earlier and existed within the coverage period. •more importantly, this is a serious safety defect that can cause sudden power loss while driving, creating a high risk of accidents. •Ford has incorrectly limited the remedy under a csp with a mileage cutoff, instead of issuing a proper safety recall without mileage limits. Requested action: I am requesting NHTSA to investigate and require Ford 1. Treat the flexplate defect as a recall, not a csp. 2. Provide full repair coverage for affected vehicles regardless of mileage. 3. Ensure consumer safety is not compromised by arbitrary mileage cutoffs. In addition, my vehicle has also experienced repeated brake warning lights, which aligns with Ford’s brake hose recall (NHTSA recall 25v544). The combination of braking issues and flexplate failure creates an extremely unsafe condition. Thank you for your attention to this urgent safety matter.

So I bought my Ford Edge in the early spring of 2025. A couple of months after I had this vehicle the brake fluid light started flashing on my dash so my husband checked the brake fluid level and it was low. We filled it up we proceeded to go on with our life, but then we started having to constantly put brake fluid in it about that same time I went and had an oil change done, and jiffy lube was doing the walk around of a car of my car and my husband asked him to please check the brakes because we were having to put an usual amount of brake fluid in car so upon inspection they noticed that the left rear brake line had burst and was leaking a considerable amount of brake fluid upon further investigation that my husband did he found that there was a recall done on the front brake lines and the way he read it was that the rear brake lines were also in question as well what he didn’t really realize at the beginning was that the rear tires or though I’m sorry the rear brake lines were under investigation of being recalled, but not recalled at this time so I’ve had $150 to have my brake lines fixed on the left rear side of the car I had them fixed with cell Ford in new bern, north carolina, and when I went back this evening to look at their inspection to figure out exactly what was fixed because when we stopped for gas this evening, my husband, after not being able to stop very well at a stop sign on the way to get gas saw that the left rear brake line had burst and if you hit the brake, the brake fluid would go spraying everywhere again. After we noticed, that is when we started looking for my receipt from a Ford to see exactly which side we had had replaced, we couldn’t remember off the top of our heads I didn’t at any rate. When we found the invoice online to the link that they had sent me the day, my car was getting fixed. We discovered that the left brakes were the ones that had come under recall however an investigation has been opened up on the rear brakes that.

Regarding the three Ford vehicles in my possession, each with approximately 80,000 miles, I've observed consistent issues with the anti-lock braking system (abs) module. Despite my inquiry with a Ford dealership, no recall has been issued for these vehicles, and the abs module is reportedly unavailable for repair. Given the apparent prevalence of this issue, I am concerned about the potential impact on vehicle performance during critical events. Furthermore, I am seeking clarification from Ford representatives regarding the lack of a resolution for this recurring problem across multiple vehicles. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The brake pedal became stiff. The pedal would depress and eventually stop the car but then occasionally more play would be in the pedal. When the vehicle stopped the pedal would depress further and additional pressure would have to be applied to get the vehicle to stop completely. A service campaign bulletin was issued for my other vehicle ( Feb 20, 2024- reference number 13n02), same model, same year for a brake booster replacement, yet no service campaign was issued for this vehicle. My vehicle would not stop completely consistently without stomping on the pedal. My garage informed me to return it to Ford for warranty replacement of the brake booster, just like my other Ford Edge ( same year, same model). Brake fade was noticed in fall of 2024 and confirmed by my garage in Feb 2025.

I was doing 65 and had to gun it to get out of someone's way and when I did it just didn't go. There was a long pause then it kicked in just in time.

Master cylinder going bad. Pedal goes to the floor. All 4 pads rotors calipers have been replaced within the last year.

The abs system is completely shot. I have replaced the entire brake system besides the abs. There is a recall on the abs system for other 2012 Ford Edges, but for some reason my vehicle isn’t included. Please consider including my car in the recall as this is a serious safety issue. I cannot even drive the car, because I am not able to brake properly.

This is in reference to field service action 13n02 with codes p2195 and p2197. There was an extended warranty, but I never knew that as I bought the vehicle pre-owned. I am a college student and the vehicle poses a danger as I am not able to stop every time. I called the local Ford dealership, and without even looking at the vehicle. He said, yes we know about the issue, but it's to late for you to have it repaired for free. I am filing a complaint with with the wyoming attorney general as well, and looking into a civil action. I want to make sure I document everything in case there is a serious injury or death.
