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.

See attached document for complaint. I am writing regarding an issue I am having getting a refund for something I paid for to have repaired that was placed on a recall list by Ford 6 months later. In March 2025 my Ford Edge sport suddenly lost brakes while I was driving. Thankfully I was not going fast and was able to get pulled over without an accident. I took my car into to the local Ford dealership here in palestine, TX on 3/20/25 where I had this issue repaired. I received the car back on 3/21/25. I paid 563. 16 in total for the repairs. In September 2025, I received a recall letter for this issue. When I called the local dealer I was told I would have to wait for a second letter before they could issue me a refund, and that the company might make me bring it back in again once that second letter was received. I have not received a second letter to date so I reached out again to the local Ford dealership on 11/17/25 and was told they have no idea when this may occur, that it could be months or a year. When this is a recall issue that I have already had to deal with and pay for, why do I have to wait for a refund? please assist in this issue.

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.

Our 2017 Ford Edge that we bought for our daughter to drive to college already had the passenger read brake line blow out and ruin the seals on the calipers and the parking brake actuator had to be replaced. The pedal went to the floor and she couldn't stop at an intersection and she put a hole in the front bumper. There was no warning in the dash to indicate that there was a problem with the brakes. It just failed out of nowhere. We went to the Ford dealer we bought the car from, alma Ford and asked them what they could do since that part that is recalled is what broke. They said they could not do anything because they have no parts and would not help us. We ended up having to take the car to an independent mechanic and pay out of our own pocket to get it fixed.

My brake pressure dropped rapidly and the abs and brake system warnings lit up. I added brake fluid and it leaked out from the rear passenger side brake line. Took car to dealer and they confirmed a recall on the brake lines and replaced the lines. I was responsible for the repair cost and the dealer was not able to process reimbursement until unknown date of Ford completing recall instructions.

I am an automotive service technology teacher, retired. The abs system on this vehicle failed without warning and without any trouble codes. No lights, no codes. The pedal sinks nearly to the floor, but does engage the brakes once the abs chambers fill with fluid. But, by the time brakes begin to engage, one's heart skips a beat and it actually takes 1/2 second longer for the brakes to actually work. If not for my tall stature, I might not be able to reach the distance it takes to get hydraulic pressure. Brakes work, but marginally due to interference with floor. My research indicates this is a relatively common problem with these vehicles. Folks need to be warned! a recall is in order; at the very least a service bulletin and a customer notification. I'll fix it, but I shouldn't need to. I'll save the old unit and ship it if anybody wants to inspect it.
