Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have a hissing noise when pressing the brake and a softer feeling when pushing the brake. This happens when I come to a complete stop or when I'm idling. My vehicle was built in the plant that had a customer satisfaction program offer an extended warranty to fix this issue, but my date is 6 months off of their window and they won't cover it.”
NHTSA complaint #11405936, filed 2021-04, 94,471 miles“Brakes not working properly. Had brakes repaired. Attached invoices for over $2000. Brakes still overheating, smells like the car will catch fire, engine lights come on, too hot to even switch in gear, car not drivable now. Now I'm told it is a problem with Ford parts abc control 2c219 and abc hydraulic 2c215. I'm also told the part is on backorder and is not available.”
NHTSA complaint #11387103, filed 2021-01, 133,000 miles“12/18/2020, I drove 2013 Ford EDGE to a restaurant in town. No problems. 12/19/2020, left house, drove one mile, turned onto public road, hit brakes and they went straight to the floor. No braking at all. Brake fluid very low. Had been fine the week before. Managed to get car back home. Had towed to dealer who said recalls for that went out in september but I did not receive one.”
NHTSA complaint #11387080, filed 2021-01, 100,000 miles“While driving down a hill into town I tried using the brakes and they want completely to the floor. Luckily there was no one in front of me and was able to coast to a stop in town with faint to no brakes or feedback. Turns out the brake/ABS module was malfunctioning causing it to dump all the peddle input pressure instead of applying it to the brakes.”
NHTSA complaint #11255307, filed 2019-09, 70,000 miles“The brakes become very soft and go all the way to the floor. They will work but in a very delayed fashion. I've been to two different dealers and one said rust/dust in them and the other one said nothing is wrong after I even purchased new brakes. 3 Ford EDGE vehicles in my family and all three are experiencing the same u known safety issue”
