Service Brakes Problems of Ford Edge - part 1

The rear brake hose failed while driving, causing a sudden loss of braking power that nearly resulted in a collision. The vehicle had to be coasted onto a side street where we my son was able to get it home very slowly. Called Ford for repair due to open recall on it and now we have to pay for it out of pocket. Will consider suing on my son and other’s behalf due to the inability to replace these hoses proactively and stalling since April 2026.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the brake pedal stop bumper/stop-lamp switch bumper disintegrated and fell out. Without the bumper, the brake pedal no longer depresses the brake-light switch far enough, causing the brake lights to remain continuously illuminated. I still have the remaining pieces of the bumper and they are available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? the brake lights remained on continuously even when the brake pedal was not being pressed. This could prevent drivers behind me from knowing when I am actually braking, increasing the risk of a rear-end collision. The continuously illuminated brake lights could also drain the vehicle’s battery. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? no. The problem has not yet been inspected or confirmed by a dealer or independent repair facility. However, I reproduced the issue myself. When the missing bumper material is placed back at the contact point, it depresses the brake-light switch and the brake lights turn off normally. When the bumper is removed, the brake lights remain on. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? no. The vehicle and failed component have not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or a repair facility. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? there were no warning messages associated with the bumper failure that I noticed. The first obvious symptom was that the rear brake lights remained illuminated continuously after the brake pedal was released. Inspection of the brake-pedal area then revealed that the small brake pedal stop bumper had deteriorated/disintegrated and fallen out.

Xxx, I parked my Edge car around 11am. I always put the car into park mode before turning off vehicle! the road was flat, good weather and had no previous issues/warnings. I went into building. My gray Ford Edge 2020 st with 105,000. Miles is a wonderful vehicle! I came out of appointment about an hour later and my Edge had rolled backwards 6 to 8 feet! it almost hit another vehicle, parked behind my car! I immediately took my car to local Ford dealership service, baugh Ford, [xxx]. I was told I needed to pay 1500 dollars for the vehicle to be taken apart to get an estimate of what needed to be fixed? I don’t have 1500 dollars to just give to Ford service for them to look online and find what other years and other Ford models have had with this exactly same safety recall! this is a huge safety issue and Ford does not want to fix because this is a vehicle that I paid off in 7 years, have been only driver and never been in any accidents! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Not sure if this is due to the recall from 2025 that does not have a remedy yet but driving my car makes me extremely nervous because my brakes are becoming difficult to use. Just wondering what I can do and what options have.

Problem: rear brake flexible hose leak. The right rear flexible brake hose failed as I was driving home. The brake pedal went to the floor. Fortunately, that only occurred one block from my home. I parked my car in my driveway and looked for the source of the problem. My initial thought was that my brake master cylinder may have failed, so I added dot4 brake fluid to the brake fluid reservoir. The fluid immediately drained to the right rear tire and on to the ground. I did an internet search and discovered the recall. On xxx I called my local dealer (bob bell Ford, [xxx]) and the lady confirmed that the flexible brake hose for the recall was not available. I asked her to document my phone call and concern. Ford's own web site stated that my vehicle has a Ford recall campaign dated 2025-08-25, campaign 25s87/25v544. Rear flexible brake hose leak. This is a safety issue. I was advised to get the flexible brake line replaced at an independent repair shop and provide the receipts to them for possible reimbursement from Ford. I was informed that the recall has not officially been issued and that I should receive notification in September 2026. On xxx called Ford hq on their customer service line. They recorded my VIN. The lady informed me that the flexible brake line was not available and to wait for the official recall notice. I stated to her, in other words, my car should be a paper weight that can't be used. She understood my concern. The only way that Ford would reimburse me would be if the work was done by a Ford dealer, using Ford parts (that's currently impossible). I advised that I had no choice but to take it to an independent repair shop and use aftermarket parts to get the SUV back on the road. She said that she would advise her superiors of my concern. On xxx, my SUV was towed on a flatbed to prince's tire and auto service pasadena MD for repair. On xxx prince's confirmed that the right rear flexible brake hose had failed. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.

The brakes are hard to mash and spongey and it has a hissing kind of sound I believe it is a brake booster. When I bought the vehicle used from a dealership they told me it didn't have any recalls on the vehicle but later own I found out it did have a recall for the abs system so I called the Ford company and they told me that the recall has already ended and they wouldn't fix it and now when I look it up online it showed the brake boosted had a recall to that the dealership never told me about but now I believe the recall has already ended on that to but not sure. But if the dealership told me the truth instead of lying to me I could have got to fix so I am wondering if there is away I could get those to recalls done on my 2012 Ford Edge. I noticed the abs messing up just a couple months after I bought it which was I believe in 2021 or 2022 and the brake booster started messing up around July 15, 2026.

See attached document for complaint.

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.
