SERVICE BRAKES
My brakes are failing intermittently. I have been driving and pressed the brake pedal and it goes all the way to the floor but the car only gradually stops. Thankfully it has not caused an accident, yet. Once I am able to stop I pump the pedal to get things back to somewhat normal. But the pedal still feels spongy. I looked up a customer service program ford has (13N02) but my VIN isn’t under it. But my car does fit the assembly plant and dates of this known issue. I’m afraid I’m going to get in an accident over a known issue.

The sun roof failed to close when it was wide open. I manually pushed it close most of the way, but could not get it to completely close. A google search has shown that other Ford Edges have had this problem. I have garbage bags taped around the opening to help prevent water getting in, but water still has gotten in which can cause damage.

Brakes have to be pressed almost to the floor to engage. There is a warranty extension for many 2013 Ford Edges with production dates at the same plant for brake replacement and this VIN is not included. It is a significant safety concern.

I reported this issue with my breaks the other day, however I noticed today 5/15 that my breaks would not engage after going down my hill in my neighborhood, my husband was driving and said he had to push the brakes to the floor to engage and get the car to stop, he almost didn’t get the vehicle to stop. This would have caused him to roll into oncoming traffic, with 2 kids in the car this is not acceptable. I have did research and noticed recalls but my car is not included on that however, my vehicle is having the same issues. I do plan on taking it to the repair shop and having someone look at it. This vehicle is not safe to drive

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
While driving I came upon a red light. While sitting at the red light I noticed my car began to loose power and started shaking. My RPM dropped to almost 0. My car was loosing power while driving. No light has appeared on my dashboard, my gas tank said I had 98 miles till empty. I had two young kids in my vehicle. I anxiously started tapping the gas a little and made in into the nearest parking lot. This is unacceptable as I was in the middle of the road with children. I sat in my car with it on idle and nothing happened.

The dash keeps showing an error “Rear Door Ajar”. The door is closed and locked. However the interior lights will not go out because “a door is open”. This causes a safety issue when driving.

SERVICE BRAKES
2013 Ford Edge Limited Mileage approximately 69,000 Have had issues for several months (2024-2025) with an intermittent soft brake. As soon as I feel the soft or spongy brake I release & pump the brake pedal again & that seems to fix it. April 30, 2025 I stepped on the brake & did not get a good pedal. Pumped the brake again & did not get a good pedal (did this 3 times) then noticed it went real low & it felt like a sensation of maybe pedal feeling disengages or collapsing during failure. The soft brake pedal lasted for the approximately next 5 times I pumped the brake. I have found the 2013 Ford Edge has 465 NHTSA complaints for service brakes, averaging 56,907 miles, with many describing intermittent pedal issue similar to mine. No ABS or any warning lights are on. Checked for recall & don’t see one for this year even tho there have been 465 existing complaints. Have had the rear brake pads replaced. Master cylinder Front brake pads & rotors. Been bled numerous times Brake fluid level is good After researching this issue I have found that HCU/ABS Module issues are most frequently cited as the cause for these symptoms. This is a pricey repair (HCU) & I think that with all the complaints & the dangerous aspect to this it should be a recall that Ford should be responsible for.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Probable power brake booster failure, in a panic stop attempt when another motorist ran a red light the vehicle brake pedal became very hard and did not want to stop the vehicle. Other instances include spongy and soft pedal going to the floor with very poor braking. This vehicle was included in FoMoCo Customer Satisfaction Program 13N02 but did not exhibit these symptoms until just recently. These are the exact symptoms covered by the program but time and mileage has expired for this build date even though later models are still covered.

Brake booster needs to be replaced because it has failed, making the car unable to stop. This has caused the car to shut off if the brake pedal is pressed to long, like stopping at a stop light. The vehicle is in a Ford authorized service shop and has been confirmed as brake booster failure. The issue started with stalling, car throwing codes such as no oil, hissing in the brake lines, spongy brake pedal, leading to zero ability to stop. Issues started slowly around October and by January, the car is completely unable to stop.

Hi my name is [XXX] and we own a 2013 Ford Edge. VIN # [XXX]. We loved driving it until it broke down on a trip to New Mexico. We were driving along and all the brakes locked up leaving us stranded on the side of the road for 5 hours. We eventually had it towed to our destination, Gallup New Mexico and had it examined by a local mechanic. He thought it was hydraulics and replaced the master cylinder and all the brakes and rotors along with the ABS hydraulic unit. It appeared to take care of the problem but while test driving it was still happening, it wasn’t the brakes it was the anti-lock braking system module (ABS). He tried to order the ABS module but was told that Ford does not make that part anymore and had to try an aftermarket one. Those did not work. I eventually had it transported to my local mechanic in Southern California for $675.00 where he has the same problem, can’t get the part from Ford and aftermarket won’t work and is currently looking for a used module that will work on my car. Why would you stop making this part knowing there is a problem with it and not have an adequate replacement for it? We have been without this car for over 6 months and are very frustrated with Ford. I am at a loss for words and at a loss on our next steps as we have a vehicle we love which we cannot get fixed. I am asking for any advice, relief or how we can get our car fixed before it becomes worthless and we cannot recoup any of the money we have had to put out for this fiasco! We have put out over $4,000 including rental car costs! Update: I send ford a letter they responded but their stores did not work to get the parts. It has been almost 1 year now and the car is still not running. My next step is to drop it off at the Ford Dealer but I'm afraid they will charge me more than it is worth just to look at it.

SERVICE BRAKES
Brake Boost issue with my 2013 Ford Edge Sport. When attempting to brake, there is very little stopping resistance. Even at slow speeds, it takes a dangerous amount of time and distance to bring the vehicle to a stop. While braking, a hissing noise can be heard from the brake pedal area, and the brake pedal presses easily to the floor with minimal resistance. Upon researching the issue, I discovered that this is a very common problem with this vehicle. A certified mechanic diagnosed the issue and stated that this is a known problem and may be covered under Ford's Customer Satisfaction Program 13N02. While this is a known and common issue that is covered under warranty when the vehicle is under 10 years from warranty purchase date or under 150,000 miles, the Ford Dealership is fighting me on this and is refusing to assist in correcting this safety issue. If a vehicle has already exceeded the time or mileage limit and is part of the incremental launch population, this coverage will last through November 30, 2025. Coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent owners. Brakes began failing around July/August of 2024. Due to financial hardship, I cannot afford this repair on my own. Driving this vehicle in this condition is extremely dangerous for myself and other drivers on the road. I've had to veer off of the road or into other lanes in order to avoid a collision with vehicles in front of me because it takes an extremely unreasonable distance to stop the vehicle with a bad brake booster many times already; It's only a matter of time before I encounter an unavoidable collision due to bad brakes. Please advise on who I can talk to about getting this issue fixed under warranty, or at no/reduced cost.

My brake pedal was not functioning correct. It was at times very soft, hitting the floor, and at other times difficult to push. A local shop replaced booster and master cylinder in an attempt to fix. Now brakes are locking up at random. Happened while going 70 mph with family in car and wheel was shaking and very unsafe. My year model (2013) is not included in the extended warranty for the brake booster (13N02) anymore since it was made in March of 2013. Any edges made in April of 2013, just one month later, are covered until 2025 by the customer satisfaction program extended warranty.

Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle is hard to brake and travels a further distance before stopping, the brake is hard to press and stop the vehicle. This has been confirmed by my private mechanic No, it has not been inspected by the manufacturer I heard a hissing noise and the car stalled out at a complete stop when the brakes were pressed down Reached out to Ford and they said there is no recall for my vehicle but I have information from when I had my emission done provided by NHTSA of a recall MRF#13N02. Which I've provided a copy of down below.

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT, TIRES:BEAD
I purchased these tires and they were installed on 1/19/25. I paid $426.20 including the installation fees. After installation we noticed the tires were extremely loud above 40 MPH. We returned and had the tires balanced again and the noise problem continued. It drowned out the cabin and made it difficult to hear anything outside of the vehicle. The poor customer service department made me complete a warranty request which was denied within hours because the warranty doesn’t cover noise. They refused to take any responsibility for this hazardous issue that was previously reported. They claim their tires are quiet on various sites, but this is false. There have been many reports to Arroyo and they are not willing to address the unsafe issue. Various reviews on the internet express the same concerns about excessive noise. I replaced the scary tires with another set and they are very quiet and don’t produce the excess noise like the Arroyo tires. 245/50ZR20 102W
