My brake booster system is failing. I have replaced every other brake component with oem equipment and no change. My vehicle is very unsafe to drive as the brake pedal is as solid as a rock and has the feeling of "sliding on ice" year round. This problem has progressed dramatically and quickly. A very loud hissing as if air is leaking by the brake pedal occurs when braking. Abs lights do not come on and nothing else is affected safety wise. Vehicle simply braked poorly and feels like it will not stop. Ford has created a "customer satisfaction program" for my exact issue but will not apply their warranty/recall help to my vehicle due to the year (2007). They said if it was a 2010 or newer they would take care of it. Im having the exact same issue with the same parts consumers have with the 2010 models and newer. Its ridiculous that ford can exclude me from something they are accepting fault for. This is customer satisfaction at its worst. I want ford to fix my brake booster and system components as needed to safely brake on public roads.

I was experiencing problem with hard brake pedal so I checked to see if brakes needed bleeding. After determining that wasn't the problem I initially replaced front rotors and pads. The problem continued after which I replaced rear rotors and pads with no or little improvement. I also was concerned that when my brakes were applied suddenly not only was the vehicle slow in stopping(took longer than usual stopping distance) but did not feel ABS accentuate. A friend and former ford mechanic suggested it may be my brake booster. So I replaced the brake booster and pedal seemed too soft but car stooped better and shorter, but without applying hard and sudden brake pressure ABS seems to prematurely activate. The mechanic told me to check for possible recall or problems with check valve/ABS. Upon checking found identical complaints for same year make and model vehicle, which customer says ford eventually corrected the problem but called it "customer satisfaction program 13n02 instead of recall. The car was a 2007 ford sel plus ,my car is 2007 ford sel. I contacted ford today(11/24/2015) concerning a recall on fuel tank for my VIN and told them the problem with the brakes. They said though they fixed other vehicle my VIN was not included. My concerned is that ,though it may be coincidental but strange I have same problem with same make model and year. They issued me a case # cas-8279603. My concern also is that not only I may have a safety issue endangering myself but also others. Plus there may have been others with similar if not same problem and repaired it themselves rather than investigate issue. The mechanic also stated it may also be necessary to check or replace master cylinder. So as of now I'm driving less and only short distances unless absolutely necessary . The problem had been on going for about 6 mos. Til I replaced booster on on 15th or 16th of nov 2015.

A wheel speed sensor failed (per my mechanic), causing the ABS and traction control systems to malfunction. It became extremely difficult to stop the car, with the brake pedal pulsing and traveling nearly to the floorboard. I was finally able to stop the car just before running a red light by standing on the brake pedal. The brake pads were at ~50% per a recent state inspection. This happened again in february 2015 when another wheel speed sensor failed with my wife and children in the car with me. I was able to temporarily resolve the issue by pulling the ABS fuse to disable the ABS system. Ford's r&m engineers must have forgotten to perform a failure mode analysis on the edge's ABS system.

After having the rear brake rotors and pads on my 2007 ford edge replaced at jack safro ford in oconomowoc,wi on 5/24/10, I noticed that the brake warning light, the ABS warning light, and the traction warning light were on. Also noted that the ABS braking system was inoperable at that time. Made another appointment on 6/2/10 at dealer to have problem diagnosed. Dealer informed me that both rear wheel ABS sensors were inoperable and recommended replacing both sensors, the rear wheel bearing and trailer arm on the right rear side. Dealer also informed me that problem was unrelated to the brake work done just prior. While the car was at the dealer that day I called ford customer service relative to the problem and was informed that ford would not offer any assistance on the repair as the vehicle had 39,696 miles and was outside the 36,000 mile warrenty.I declined to have the work done at that time in order to get more information. On 6/7/10 I took the car to an independent repair shop specializing in ABS brakes, where they told me the right rear ABS brake sensor had been damaged by the right rear sensor ring, which itself was damaged and partially shredded. Per the manufacturer's service bulletin, that shop then replaced both rear wheel sensors, and the right rear wheel hub with bearing and sensor ring. I was given the old hub which I have retained and was shown the failed sensor ring which caused the ABS problem. Brakes operated properly with warning lights off after that repair. I had the repair done at that shop rather than the dealer because I was given a very specific description of the problem, as opposed to just being told "both rear wheel sensors were not working", with no mention of the damaged sensor ring. I am not persuaded that the sensor problem was unrelated to the earlier rear brake job since the technician at the second shop showed me where someone had attempted to glue the right rear sensor unit together. I also have that part which was replaced.

I have a 2007 ford edge with persisting pulsating brake problem. The brakes make a gringing noise. I have brought to the ford dealership about 5 times for the same problems and they state that the sound and grind is "normal" and nothing to worry about. I almost got into an accident the first time as the car delays, kicks back, then usually the ABS light comes on. This occurs usually when making turns or going up a hill.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. The contact stated that there was an issue with the front brakes and he smelled a burning odor coming from the front of the vehicle. He did not know if the odor was mechanical or electrical. The brakes vibrated and began to grind when stopping or turning the vehicle at 40 MPH. The contact was unsure if the failure was due to the stability control, ABS, or general braking system. The dealer could not find any failures after their initial inspection. Most recently, they informed the contact that they could only cut the rotors and replace the brake pads. They could not locate the burning aroma. The manufacturer has not been notified. The failure mileage was approximately 1,000.

I was driving, and when I went to press on my brakes, they were pulsating, because you could feel the anti-lock braking system kicking in. The car seemed like it didn't want to stop. After I stopped, the ABS and traction-control light came on in the car, and they have been on every since. I have an appt. For a repair at the dealership tomorrow. I wanted to make the federal safety agency aware of the problem.
