The brake pedal went to the floor when trying to stop while driving on the hyway, I checked the fluid it was full, took it to dealer to have it checked they said it needed a hydraulic control unit and electronic module that is more than $1,100 but I did some research and this is a common problem with this Ford Edge.

The breaks are rock hard when you first hit the break. The car slowly trys to stop but you can feel brakes not fully engage. So you have to press harder and then the brakes will engage and it's an abrupt stop. Sometimes doesn't think it will stop. It is very shocking when first hitting breaks because don't know if it will brake all the way.

My vehicle's brakes went all the way to the floorboard before coming to a stop. The pressure in the brakes would leave immediately so I took it to my mechanic and they replaced the master cylinder. Two months later, the same thing happened again where all the pressure of the brakes are gone and the brakes barely stop the car so I took it again to the mechanic and they replaced the master cylinder and still the brake pressure won't hold so they said it might have to do with the ABS system. They were surprised that there is no recall on the brake system because it seems like so many other people are dealing with the faulty system that keeps breaking the master cylinder. The ABS system is very expensive to fix too. I don't feel safe in my car anymore, the brakes can give out anytime while I'm driving and Ford could care less.

Breaks are really spongy about 2to3 in of play before brake engages

Brakes are so hard, the car does not brake easily. It makes a sound like a wind is blowing. I took it to the Ford dealer and they said the problem probably is the brake booster. But after they do an inspection they find out the problem is the master cylinder and hcu. So they said the cost is around $1,300 this is to expensive this must be a recall.. I saw many cases with this same problem.. also Ford charge $149 for inspection..

The brakes have become 'spongy' as the service mechanic calls it. When I push the brakes, they go all the way to the floor before stopping the vehicle. It takes much longer to stop even if you are going slow.

The problem started with an occasionally stiff brake pedal. This was in February 2015 with 59,554 miles on the car. The Ford dealership replaced the brake booster under customer satisfaction program 13N02. Then in May 2016 with 74,029 miles on the car the problem returned even worse. This time the pedal would not only be stiff at start up but would also become stiff while driving and was accompanied by a high pitched ringing noise. The dealership replaced the brake booster again but this time the cost was placed on me. Now here we are in July 2020 with approximately 110,000 miles on the vehicle the stiff pedal problem has been coming up again and has progressed to the brake pedal going to the floor while driving with greatly reduced braking power. The Ford dealership again says that the brake booster is part of the problem, along with the master cylinder. The dealer & Ford Motor Co. Both state that the cost of replacing their faulty parts is my responsibility. Ford obviously has not fixed the problem with their brake boosters

When driving at various speeds on highway and city streets, going to apply brakes when stopping the brakes will not fully stop the vehicle. It will slow it down but it won't come to a complete stop without having to use the emergency brake to be able to fully stop. The brake pedal would be pushed all the way into the floor. And it makes this awful sqeauling noise when brakes are applied.

The brake pedal randomly goes to the floor you have to pump the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, I took the vehicle to a Ford dealership and they could not duplicate the problem. This is a serious safety problem.

When vehicle is in motion at various speeds and pressure applied to brake pedal to stop or reduce speed the vehicle doesn't completely stop. This has resulted in accidents due to pressing brake is unable to stop the vehicle. Multiple diagnostics have been performed on the vehicle from certified auto shops to no avail. Mechanics are unable to resolve the issue due to occurrences are intermittent. This is a very scary feeling to not know if your braking system will stop the vehicle when in motion. I have researched and reviewed multiple blogs that have resulted in multiple citizens expressing the same issue with this type, year, and model of vehicle. I strongly encourage Ford and manufacturers to thoroughly research these type complaints and issue a recall before multiple deaths occur due to vehicle being unable to stop. Family lives are at risk when driving their vehicles that present this intermittent braking problem. Additionally, there have been times when I have had to pump the brakes while in park or put in neutral before putting into drive mode. Again, brake pedal suppressed fully to floor still will not bring vehicle to complete halt. This is extremely dangerous. This is a continuous issue that has been going on for months in my case but for years for others who own the same type of vehicle.

The car accelerated while I was braking while parking on the street, this problem is reoccurring. I also constantly get a warning that my car is overheating while the bar line is on cold. I tried putting anti freeze and it doesn't help. The car also turned off at a green light when I turned on my air conditioner. Lastly I got a warning that my oil pressure is low although I just got an oil and filter change the day before. Please do a recall for these things. I have a child and it is very unwise to put him in any danger by being in this car.

When applying the brakes to stop, the pedal goes all the way to the floor and do not work. The car continues to go as if nothing happened. You have to pump the brakes repeatedly before the brakes re-engage and you can come to a stop. We took a car trip of about 6 hours worth of driving and it occurred about 4 times, 2 on the way there and 2 on the way back. My wife also stated this has occurred previously, but there is not time table between occurrences.

Ongoing problems with brakes dating back to 2014 at 77K miles. Took vehicle to a.C. collins Ford and complained about brake pedal becoming stiff and feeling like it was not going to stop, I.e. at stop sign in slow traffic. Brake booster was replaced per recall notice 13N02. After some time, early 2016, began to experience spongy brake pedal with extended stopping distance. Marler Ford recommended replacement of brake booster, no active recall at that time. Repair was not done and car blew a head gasket shortly thereafter. Fast forward to September 2019 and motor replacement, had mechanic look at brakes because of past issues. He replaced master cylinder, ABS control module, & brake pads. Now, 2/2020, vehicle is drinking brake fluid and mechanic advises replacement of brake booster....again. Very disappointed in the quality of parts in this Ford vehicle. First and last Ford for me.

My braking system is malfunctioning while driving. It first appeared when the brake booster went bad on or around 2/6/2020 which I was never notified of by Ford as being a known problem so I had it replaced. Immediately after replacing that part on 2/9/2020 the brakes began to engage and stay engage while driving without depressing the brake pedal. This happened twice and the brakes would disengage once the vehicle was off for hours. Now on my way to the dealer 2/19/2020 my brakes were unresponsive and the brake pedal was soft and went all the way to the floor barely stopping the vehicle. This issue I was told by the dealer was due to my hydraulic control module going bad. Seem coincidental that this coincided with the booster going bad and no recall or extended warranty being offered for the known issue as I have read 100S of complaints of the same nature online. This is a tragedy waiting to happen and Ford doesn't seem to care.
