Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving in the city was breaking to turn and the pedal compressed all the way to the floor. New rotators, brake pads and tires are on the vehicle and could have caused a major accident. Why has Ford not stepped up and made this recall? I'm scared to drive this vehicle or even put my family in it. Now it just sits parked.”
NHTSA complaint #11394834, filed 2021-02, 150,000 miles“Could not stop. Had to use both feet on brake to stop. Good thing I was only backing out of my driveway. Had to have brake booster replaced. A brake booster should last the life time of the car and not be replaced. My EDGE in a 2011 with 119,000 miles . We never received any letter about this being a problem on the Ford EDGE. . Shouldn't Ford reimburse us ?”
NHTSA complaint #11269798, filed 2019-10, 119,086 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11350136, filed 2020-08, 90,035 miles“While driving ABS light came on, then service advance trak. Did this intermittently. Got on ramp, turning wheel right anti lock brakes kicked in for no reason. It wasn't raining, not icy, etc. Parked. When I started my card drove 15 minutes, ABS light came back on- then kicked in, for no reason.”
NHTSA complaint #11408659, filed 2021-04, 162,000 miles“Driving to work on streets and came to a stop light ,hit my brakes and the did not stop. After hitting my brakes a couple more times my car stopped. My brakes were down as far as they could go.
