44 Service Brakes problem of the 2012 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 09/21/2025

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! I suspect that this problem is more widespread than just my family, more Ford Edge vehicles with this abs problem. A Ford Edge abs recall might be required to help Ford customers be safe!.

Failure Date: 09/20/2025

There are two safety recalls for my car. Service brakes and rear camera. The camera stopped working four years ago. I took it to Ford, they said we can replace it for $1500. However, now they don’t have the parts. What kind of scam is Ford and NHTSA doing? the brake line recall was first reported over four years ago, I know this because I received a letter back then. I was told by the chapman Ford, I NJ, that when the parts come in they would contact me. Well that never happened. Again what kind of scam is being run here. I’m 73, I really need this camera repaired, I can’t afford $1500. So when are these parts available. A letter should be sent to all the people with an eta when parts will be available for recalls.

49 Service Brakes problem of the 2013 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 09/15/2025

While driving the car approaching a stop the brake pedal suddenly went almost all the way to the floor. It stayed that way for the next couple of days before going back to a fully functioning brake pedal. Months later it happened again this time without repairing itself. We took it to a local mechanic as well as the local Ford dealership twice. Their computer did not detect anything wrong and yet when the service rep tried the brakes they went clear to the floor! so we had them update the computer software in the car since we never had any warning lights about this issue. The local mechanic as well as the Ford dealership suspect it is the hcu unit within the abs system. The problem is there are no replacement parts available to remedy the problem. We have read many similar complaints online. We believe Ford should fix this issue.

51 Service Brakes problem of the 2012 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 09/13/2025

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.

54 Service Brakes problem of the 2013 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 09/09/2025

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.

60 Service Brakes problem of the 2017 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 09/02/2025

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.

61 Service Brakes problem of the 2014 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 09/02/2025

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.

62 Service Brakes problem of the 2016 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 09/01/2025

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. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
