2009 Ford Edge Brakes

When engaging brake pedal becomes very hard to push and having to push pedal all the way to the floor where it slows finally and then stops. It does not stop when push the brake pedal like normal. Pedal at the floor still not stopping then finally stops but by that time I could have ran into another car or through at stop light. I almost hit someone because of this.

Advised by mechanic that there are issues with the brake booster master cylinder that are causing serious braking issues. He's seen this issue in many ford vehicles of similar age recently. Said this issue is serious and can cause major damage to vehicle and safety concerns for drivers and passengers if brakes go out when vehicle is in use.

Extremely hard to press brake pedal. Can not stop suddenly. Ford dealer has confirmed brake booster went out

PEDAL WENT HARD AND DOWN TO THE FLOOR. CAME CLOSE TO REAR ENDING CAR IN FRONT OF ME. FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND FORD DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL, ALTHOUGH THEY DO WITH NEWER YEARS OF THE SAME MODEL. VERY DANGEROUS AND THESE CARS SHOULD HAVE A RECALL.. IT'S ABSURD THAT A BRAKE BOOSTER SHOULD FAIL AND NOT HAVE A RECALL WITH A KNOWN DEADLY ISSUE.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND NEEDING TO BREAK THE BREAK PADEL WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND ALMOST NOT STOP. HAD BREAK PADS CHANGED BUT THE MECHANIC STATES THERE IS A ISSUE WITH THE BREAK LINE HAVING AIR IN THEM THAT CANT BE RELEASED. THE CAR CAN NOT BE DRIVEN SAFELY. WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO CALL ME

WHEN DRIVING THE VECHICLE AT ANY SPEED WHEN NEEDING TO BREAK THE BREAK PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR THE CAR IS UNABLE TO DRIVEN SAFELY AND COULD CAUSE A WRECK. WENT AND HAD THE BRAKES CHANGED TO SEE IF THEY WOULD HELP MECHANIC STATED THAT HE ORGINALLY BELIEVED THEIR WAS AIR IN THE LINE BUT HE STATED HE WAS UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND KNEW THAT THE LINCOLN SUV HAD THIS SAME ISSUE AND WAS RECALLED. IF SOMEONE COULD CALL ME TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE THAT WOULD BE GREAT

THE BREAK PEDAL GOES STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO BREAK IN ENOUGH TIME WHICH COULD CAUSE A WRECK. I WENT TO A BREAK SHOP AND THE BREAKS WERE CHANGED BUT THE TECHNICIAN STATED THERE IS A ISSUE WITH THE ABS SYSTEM AND HE KNEW OF A RECALL IN THE LINCOLN MKZ FOR THIS PROBLEM. HE STATED THE FORD DEALERSHIP WOULD NEED TO FIX THIS AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED DURING THIS YEAR MODEL OTHER FORD MODELS ARE RECALLED BUT NOT SEEING IT FOR THE EDGE

I HAVE A 2009 FORD EDGE SEL WITH 113,300 MILES. I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING BRAKE ISSUES WITH SQUEAKING AND HAVING TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN ALL THE WAY WITH FEAR THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS OR WARNING LIGHTS AND JUST CAME OUT OF THE BLUE. IT WOULD HAPPEN WHETHER I WAS JUST DRIVING SLOW OR FASTER ON ANY TYPE OF ROAD OR WEATHER CONDITION. I SAW FORD PUT AN EXTRA WARRANTY ON EDGES FROM 2010-2013 REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE VIA 13N02. I HAVE READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FROM YEARS PREVIOUS AND AFTER THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AS I HAVE A YOUNG SON WHO I DRIVE TO SCHOOL A LOT AND SINCE THERE WAS NO WARNING ABOUT BRAKE FAILURE I'M JUST THANKFUL NOTHING BAD HAPPENED. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE MASTER CYLINDER AND A BAD POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. THANK YOU.

I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY CAR FOR AT LEAST THE PAST 3 YEARS TO HAVE THE BRAKES LOOKED AT. THE PEDAL GOES TOO FAR TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS TO HAVE THE BRAKES LOOKED AT, ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE IS NO PROBLEM. I JUST HAD NEW FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS PUT ON AUGUST 2019. MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR TO WORK THIS MORNING AND HAD AN ACCIDENT GOING THROUGH A TOLL BOOTH. HE SAID WHEN HE PRESSED ON THE BRAKES THE CAR JUST WOULD NOT STOP AT A GOOD RATE, AND THE PEDAL WAS SPONGIE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM FOR 2009 FORD EDGES. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS COMPLAINT. THANK GOD NOBODY WAS INJURED, BUT WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF.

I APPLIED THE BRAKES AT A STOP LIGHT AND IT MAKES A HISSING SQUEALING NOTICE.

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.

WHEN DRIVER DEPRESSES BRAKE PEDAL IT MAKES A HISSING SOUND AND DRIVER HAS TO USE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

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?

THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTED WITH A SPONGY FEEL BUT NOW HAS BECOME VERY HARD AT TIMES TO PRESS. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS FAILING. HE ADVISED ME TO CHECK WITH FORD TO SEE IF THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS COVERED SINCE OTHER VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM HAD A RECALL OR SERVICE WARRANTY. FORD MOTOR COMPANY WAS NOT WILL TO COVER IT DUE TO IT DID NOT FALL UNDER THERE RECALL FOR THE 2009 MODEL YEAR BUT COVERS MODEL YEAR 2007 - 2008 THEN 2010 - 2013. MY VEHICLE WAS PLACE IN THE SHOP TO HAVE THE DEFECTIVE PART REPLACE AT MY EXPENSE.

BREAK BOOSTERS ARE NOT WORKING, CAN NOT STOP. CALLED FORD SAID MY CAR ISN'T COVERED JUST THE FORD F150. I HAVE TO SLAM DOWN ON MY BREAKS TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN THEN IT EVENTUALLY COMES TO A STOP. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.
