SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN BREAKING THE BREAK PEDAL WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO PUSH AND SLOW IN REACTING. THIS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON THE FIRST INCIDENT IN A STANDARD BRAKING SITUATION. AFTER THAT THE BREAKS SEEMED TO BE BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE MORE TIMES AND THE CAR IS REALLY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. IF EMERGENCY BRAKING WAS NEEDED THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO STOP IN TIME AND WAS VERY NEAR TO CAUSING MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS IN NORMAL DRIVING. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER THAT IS THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT FORD IS AWARE OF AND HAS OFFERED TO FIX THIS ISSUE ON NEWER MODELS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO ADDRESSED.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON 07-23-2015 AT 10:30 AM EST I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AT THE RATE OF 50 MPH ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE ODOMETER/SPEED GAUGE STOPPED AND THE ENGINE STALLED. AFTER CONSULTING WITH FORD AND ANOTHER MECHANIC SHOP THEY INDICATED THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. HOWEVER THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS DEFECT. THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE AS THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND STOPPAGE OF THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE INJURED ME OR KILLED ME OR POSSIBLE INJURED OR KILLED OTHER PEOPLE. IT APPEARS THIS IS A KNOW SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD HAS NO PLANS TO REMEDY EVEN THOUGH IT COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF LIFE. RESPECTFULLY, [XXX] VIN UNAVAILABLE INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *JB

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKING ONCE THE VEHICLE REACHES A CERTAIN LOW SPEED HAS FAILED TO WORK ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS. UNLESS I AM BEING ATTENTIVE ENOUGH TO NOTICE THEY HAVE NOT LOCKED I'M SURE THERE HAS BEEN A NUMBER OF TIMES THE DOORS HAVE BEEN UNLOCKED FOR AN ENTIRE TRIP. I ASSUME THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH IF THE DOORS WERE NOT LOCKED.

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE BEEN FINDING IT MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO USE THE BRAKES ON MY 2008 FORD EDGE. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AS THE RESULT OF A CHANGE IN THE TRAFFIC AND MY BRAKES DID NOT REACT AND BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY STIFF AND BARELY MOVED TOWARD THE FLOOR. I FEEL FORTUNATE THAT THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY, BUT MY MECHANIC TELLS ME I NEED A NEW BRAKE BOOSTER AND POSSIBLY A MASTER CYLINDER AS A RESULT OF THIS FAULTY PART. MUCH RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY FORD EDGES STARTING IN 2008 BUT RECALLS ONLY EXIST FOR LATER YEARS 2010- 2013. REPAIRS WILL BE COSTLY AND WILL TAKE TIME FROM MY JOB. IF THIS IS SUCH A PROBLEM, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON IT. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT I WILL NEED TO SPEND $600-1000 TO REPLACE FAULTY EQUIPMENT THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD ISSUE WITH AND HAS CAUSED MORE RECENT EDITIONS TO REQUIRE A RECALL.

SERVICE BRAKES
AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK LAST FRIDAY, JUNE 5TH, I STEPPED ON MY BREAKS AND THEY DID NOT RESPOND. I RE-PUMPED AND WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO AVOID A COLLISION. I TOOK THE CAR TO FIVE STAR FORD IN PLANO TX WHERE THEY HAVE LOOKED IT AND ADVISED THAT THE BREAK BOOSTER IS NOT WORKING AS IT SHOULD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY QUOTED ME $618.25 TO DO THIS WORK. I DECIDED TO REVIEW THE RECALL INFORMATION AS I REMEMBER SEEING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PART. SURE ENOUGH FORD HAS RECALLED THE 2012 - 2014 FORD EDGE MODELS FOR THE BREAK BOOSTER - THE SAME ISSUE IMPACTING MY MODEL. I AM WRITING TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE

WHILE STOPPED DRIVER PRESSED HARD ON BRAKE PEDAL CAUSING A LOUD WHISTLING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE BRAKE BOOSTER. DEALER INDICATED THERE WAS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM ISSUED BY FORD. AS IT TURNED OUT THE CSP ONLY COVERED 2010 - 2013 EDGES. DEALER INDICATED IF PART FAILED BRAKING WOULD BE COMPROMISED. NO ASSISTANCE FROM FORD AND A $550 BILL TO REPAIR. RESEARCH OF OTHERS WITH 2008 FORD EDGE AND BRAKE BOOSTER PROBLEMS REVEALED NUMEROUS OTHERS WITH THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. FORD SHAME ON YOU, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHIC PROBLEM.
