On my 2017 Edge, the brakes "grab" rather than stopping smoothly. This winter, driving on snow covered roads, you couldn't slow up approaching a stop light without the ABS system coming into play. There was no gentle way of stopping the car. Tapping the brakes is like a "panic" stop with a regular vehicle. Ford has replaced the Brake Booster on 2015-2016 models but not 2017. Refer to TSB# SSM-45857.

While driving in new albany, Indiana on Saturday, April 10, 2021, the brake lights all came on at once. My husband had me pull over into a parking spot and he said there was 0 brake fluid in the reservoir. He has worked on brakes as a mechanic his whole life (71 yo now) and said he had never seen anything like it. He drove to a very close gas station and got a can of brake fluid and when we got home he had his brother look under it while he pumped the brakes. Immediately noticed the hose was ruptured. Took it to heritage Ford in corydon, in which is the closest Ford dealiership to us. We found paperwork that was sent in Sept. 2020 that said this was safety recall notice 20S42/NHTSA recall 20V-469. They called and said they will not pay for this. We called the main Ford Corp. Phone number and they told us the same thing. Both the dealer and Ford Corp. Say we must pay upfront and may be able to get our money back and there may be a form but all we got was a toll free number to Ford customer service and they do not answer the phone. This could have resulted in failure to brake or stop, causing injury or death as it was immediate without prior warning. They only replaced the passenger side and will not replace the passenger side. They did not check the brakes for further wear or damage. The recall notice, invoice, and proof of payment are attached. This is very dangerous and not right. Ford dealer and main corporate office have said "they don't know how they are going to handle this and that's why we have to pay upfront." We want our money back to start with and want the other side repaired at their expense along with brake inspection. They also did not offer a courtesy vehicle although we asked repeatedly for one.
I purchased Ford Edge 2017 October 2020 accepting that there was a recall on the break lines. I didn't expect over 6 months later to still be driving a car which could have a break failure. I drive my grandchildren a lot. The parts are still not available for the fix. Contacted dealer, they filed my case with Ford, but still no resolution. This is not acceptable.
Vehicle in motion on city street brake fluid warning system went off. Pulled over and found out brake fluid reservoir was completely dry. Took it to heritage Ford in corydon, in as there is a recall for this from Sept. 2020 but no parts available. They have said 3 days to repair only one brake line and we have to pay out of pocket, no rental car. We called Ford corporate office and are advised of the same.

On my 2017 Ford Edge the epb motor and ABS module went out at 62,000 miles resulting in brakes dragging and very difficult to release the parking brake with the danger of locking up while driving. Also the engine is a 4 cylinder 2 liter ecoboost and has been leaking coolant into cylinder number 2 causing coolant level to drop and the engine misfiring eventually leading to a engine warning light. Ford has issued a service bulletin to look out for these problems. The only remedy is engine replacement at a cost of at least $8,000. Ford has been aware of these problems for quite a long time but has not issued a recall and will not help with the cost of repair. I believe my engine had this problem before the powertrain warranty expired at 60,000 miles. I am not a mechanic and did not notice the problem until my check engine light came on at approx. 61,500 miles. I think Ford should bear the responsibility of engine replacement as the engine has failed before 62,000 miles. A car engine should last much longer. After doing research I have seen complaints of dozens of similar cases of the ecoboost engines having the same problem and beleive it has a design flaw.

I went to push my brakes at a stop sign and I felt the break go all the way to the floor and heard a pop noise and felt the pressure underneath the brake pedal I had to coast to the side almost got in an accident. I looked at the right side brake line and it apparently had burst brake fluid was leaking I had to get my car towed to the Ford dealership
Front brake lines damage and now the back brake lines damage the same way front was.no no indicator that' this happens, the breaks just go to the floor, huge safety issues.
There is a recall on this vehicle. The notice to go to a dealer for correction has been held up because of parts availability. But everything supposedly was to be ready by the last quarter of 2020. The last quarter of 2020 ended 35 days ago. Still haven't gotten a notice as to when the car can be brought in.
The recall on my vehicle (described) is for the possibility of a hydraulic brake line to rupture, I have been waiting for months and the parts I am told are not available"? should I just park the car for months waiting? or can something be done to wake Ford Motor Company up" I already had my brake line fail and I had to pay for the repair, this is insane
