On January 25, 2026, my 2016 Ford Edge experienced a catastrophic brake system failure corresponding to NHTSA safety recall 25v-544. The front brake jounce hose ruptured at the crimp, resulting in the immediate and total loss of brake fluid and zero braking pressure. The vehicle is effectively without brakes and is unsafe to operate. ?I attempted to schedule service with the authorized dealer (pat armstrong Ford in wenatchee, wa). The dealer refused to intake the vehicle or authorize a safety rental/loaner, citing that "no remedy is currently available" from Ford motor company. ?I am currently stranded with a vehicle that has actively failed due to the safety defect described in the recall. The manufacturer's inability to provide a timely remedy, combined with the dealership's refusal to provide alternate transportation for a "vehicle off road" (vor) condition, presents an immediate safety risk. I have attached photos verifying the ruptured hose and fluid saturation.

At this point, I have been told to come in for a diagnostic check (my time off from work), but no parts and cannot fix it if the brake hose is leaking, my rear view camera is acting up at least on a weekly basis, can be at times more often then that, and they do not have the parts, also Ford is not making the parts at this time per warrentary employee at the dealership. ???? so consumer safety with Ford is - do not care about customer safety? I have to stop and take time for a diagnostic check, to be told yes or no if yes nothing can be done, if no let's say in a week it start to leak, again the parts are no being made at this time my recall letter is from 9/1/2025 over 5 months almost half a year and parts are not being made??? increase in stopping distance increases the risk of a crash. I thought customer safety was to protect from physical harm, Ford is not doing this so now , was I sold a lemon that cannot be fixed? try backing up from the driveway into the cudelsac and viewing for kids, and pets then all of a sudden camera jumps to moving lines and scares the crap out of you making you jump (while driving) please assist me understanding why part are not being made for these Ford Edges I know I am not the only Ford Edge on the road I see them when I am on the road. Can we please ensure not just drivers of the Ford Edge safety the to potential damage and injuries to the other vehicle or pedestrian that could be hit by these recall Ford Edges with no repairs in site or parts being made.

I have a 2013 Ford Edge that the abs module has gone out deeming the vehicle unsafe to drive. We have spoken to several Ford dealership team members and have all stated that the part should be recalled and the part is unavailable until sometime next year or later. We were told by Ford customer service, that in order to escalate the issue, then we needed to take to a dealership. We dropped the car off and never heard back from anyone and finally after many attempts to contact the dealership, I was finally able to get a team member on the line. They then tell us until we pay the diagnostic fees, they can't do anything. We were never told that from the start of the initial call and are back to square one. The car has no anti-lock brakes and is deemed unsafe to drive, please assist in anyway possible.

The abs control module failed in my 2013 Ford Edge. I no longer have anti-lock brakes and my wife does not feel safe driving the car. I talked to a number of different Ford dealerships and every service technician I talked to told me they don't know how this issue is not a recall as it is happening so often that the part is back ordered by a year. I had the problem confirmed by in independent service center and was informed to bring to a Ford dealership. The vehicle is now at a Ford dealership awaiting diagnosis but they all said they know what the problem is and they can't get the part. There are multiple warning lamps going off when you start the vehicle. Abs warning lamp, service advancetrac lights and brake warning lamps. This issue just popped up and we brought to an independent service center to get fixed and they were aware of this issue and told me that you can't get the part and to contact Ford. They also told us that if you push the brakes too hard it could cause them to lock up which is a huge safety concern and now my wife will not drive the vehicle and I can not sell it to anyone like that so we are stuck. Please help.

I am reporting that my 2017 Ford Edge's rear driver-side brake line was leaking so badly today that my brakes did not function. My brake pedal went to the floor! thankfully I was near my home and able to get to my driveway and I could pump my pedal enough to stop my vehicle! it is very concerning that Ford knew of this issue and sent the recall letter back in September but has yet to correct this extreme safety hazard for people. Now I am home, unable to get to my office for work and/or my appointments. The first ability for Ford to service my vehicle is this Friday -- so that's today, wed, thurs and Friday w/o being able to drive at all. I have to pay $136 to get my vehicle towed over to the Ford dealership and now I'll be paying who know what for my vehicle to get fixed. This same dealership just recently performed maintenance on my back brakes within the last few months and no one there said anything to me to indicate there was any issue with my brake lines. I have the recall notice at home for this issue, and the first they said to me when I called was that Ford had still not provided parts to fix this. I consider this a real emergency and I would just say again that I am thankful to god I was close to home, decided to take my dogs down to the katy trail close to my house for a walk and only had to drive a slow rate of speed and short distance to come back home w/ minimal traffic on the road. I normally drive a two lane black top to work for about 30 minutes and I am sure this issue would have caused a terrible accident if I had needed to drive to my office this morning. I certainly hope that Ford motor company plans to reimburse me for this repair and towing. My service date is this Friday, January 9 at chris auffenburg Ford / Lincoln in washington, missouri.

The brake booster had a recall but it should have never just have been the booster. The brake system on this is dangerous. I had the booster replaced and the valve got stuck in the hcu and cause brakes to fail. This has been a common issue amongst people and yet this is not a recall. The dealership just quoted me $3200. That's absurd for an issue thats obviously a common huge problem for people.

I purchased this vehicle used in August 2025 from the estate of a friend's relative. The records show it was meticulously maintained and no recall notices have been unaddressed. The prior owner used it infrequently and it still has just under 90k miles. There were no major engine issues when my local repair shop (over 12 years and 3 vehicles) inspected all systems, and the vehicle passed for PA state inspection and emissions. However, driving more, I noticed that the brakes would intermittently become "mushy" or "hard" and overall less responsive. I needed to use a lot of force to fully stop over a longer distance. There was also a hissing noise while braking and sometimes the cabin air fan would blast on suddenly. Then, while stopped at a red light and applying the brakes, the engine shut off and check engine light came on. My mechanic detected O2 sensor codes p2195/p2197 indicating "stuck lean. " but nothing about the brake booster, and so we cleaned it up a bit and tried to get more of an understanding of the issue. Now I know that the compromised engine vacuum from the booster air leak is impacting the fuel/air balance. Extremely unsafe. This has now happened many times while I try to get a good diagnosis and help. It's scary, and makes city driving very challenging. On multiple occasions I feared I would hit other vehicles or would have to "creep" at a light to alleviate the airflow issues from braking. If I have to be at a light for more than a moment, I will put the car in park and foot off the brake. I'd rather risk being honked at or hit, than have the engine dying on me in traffic. When I was able to get to a dealership, I was informed that it was the brake booster. The first thing I found when looking up that part for the 2013 Ford Edge was the recall. The dealership says my VIN was not covered, but it seems more than coincidence that this is the exact problem, now confirmed by the dealership. The part is faulty, and should be replaced by oem.
