Description of the problem | When driving my 2009 ford edge with under 46,000 miles, the brake pedal has a spongy feel and it becomes quite difficult to use the brake at times. It also makes a hissy or squealing noise. At times is very, very hard to press the brake down to stop the car. My husband took the vehicle to an independent auto repairman. He said the brake booster was bad. It had failed. My husband talked with an independent auto repair person. He said i had a bad brake booster. My husband called the ford dealer and after running the vin number, he was told that my car did not qualify for a recall. The brake booster has failed. The car has under 46,000 miles on it. I have it scheduled to be repaired at my own expense as this is a dangerous driving situation. Why did ford have an extended warranty coverage for the 2007-2008 and 2010-2015 edge models but omitted the 2009 models? |
