Description of the problem | The brake booster which is a known problem on every ford edge from 2007 - 2013 started making a hiss or loud squeaking noise when pressure was applied to the brakes. For this 6 year ford has installed the exact same manufacturers part, but ford has only recalled some of these years despite the same issues occurring with every model year. After a while the noise intensified and then the brakes failed!!! Sometimes the brakes would not engage until the pedal was mashed to the floor, sometimes they engaged as soon as the pedal was pressed. This creates a very dangerous environment. I own 3 different model ford vehicles, but this could be the last ford i purchase. I took the edge into a brake specialist and was told about this being a well known issue on the ford edge, but that i purchased the "wrong" year 2009 and this is the only model year not covered under the nhtsa recall. They have quoted me $925 to make the repairs. While i will do this repair since i will not put my family at risk we are very disappointed by ford's corporate negligence on this issue. |
