2007 Ford Edge brakes complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 117, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When I press the breaks to stop, it is hard to press, like I'm pushing against air and on a complete stop it continues to move in motion. (the breaks don't stop the vehicle when stationary. It started 2 days ago and I'm scared because I had my niece in the car and I almost ran off the road where an incoming car was going to hit me straight on my left. If I break it also jumps the car like if I was hit from behind. It's very rough.
Driving down the road and all of a sudden my brake pedal got real spongy and then sounded like air blowing through lines. Barely got home with minimal brake usage. I was driving on lee road luckily not too far from my home. Also fog lights don't work. Not sure if it's a switch related problem or something else. It also feels like the transmission is acting up like the car doesn't want to go especially in reverse without really getting on the pedal. And it rolls backwards on hills like it's a manual transmission
I bought my car a few years ago from a used car lot. I have had problems ever since. My breaks keep going, my transmission is slipping and the trimming around my windshield is falling out. I'm afraid the windshield is going to fly off. All I keep seeing ate problems with this car.
When making a stop or already stopped, the brake pedal gets very hard to push. When hitting the gas there is some resistance. I notice the brake pedal gets stuck. In order to unstick it, I have to put my foot under the break to pop it up.
I have replaced the ptu in my 07 ford edge a few years back that the dealership themselves told me there should have been a recall on it because of the poor design for $500. Now I am having to replace the power brake booster because I would be driving and hear a hissing noise when braking or my brakes would get really firm. Which I was told that the original owner could have replaced free of charge not as a recall, but something else. That is now going to cost $900.00. I drive kids that I have had pretty important things fail that ford never recalled and it really makes me consider investing in another ford ever again. If safety issues aren't enough to recall. And it took them years to replace the air bags.
One day all of a sudden when depressed the brakes heard a air like sound from the under dash, when trying to stop the vehicle had a stopping instantly and then release like I couldn't stop the vehicle.really I panic cause I couldn't stop..so I had my husband take it to the ford dealership and they told me it was the brake booster gone bad..it cost me a lot of money, so I asked was there a recall they sad no..I have had other peoples that had the same problem with their ford edge.
I just had new brakes put on my car. A few days after the brakes were very spongy and felt like they would not work. They also made a loud high pitched noise. My mechanic looked my car over and said it was the brake boosters.
The brake booster failure
While I was out driving to get my inspection done my car would not stop the brakes were very hard to push like I was standing up on it so I've went to go get the brakes replace before the inspection and the brakes were still hard to push that's when the machanic had tried and informed me that it's not the brakes and my car is unable to stop even driving at a very low speed my car was close to over turning due to not being able to stop with new breaks that's when I was informed it's the break booster
Brake booster failed while driving vehicle (in motion), in investigating recalls on brake boosters, found ford edge from 2010 to 2013 has recall.
I have had to replace the brake booster, front brakes and rear brakes. There has been several recalls on the 2007 brake boosters for this year/model but apparently ford will not reimburse me $982.05 because my VIN number wasn't included in the recall. I would like reimbursement for this cost.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. While driving 30 MPH approaching an intersection, the brake pedal was applied, but failed to respond without warning. The brakes resumed normal operation after three to five seconds. The dealer (gabriel/jordan ford, 2400 u s highway 59 s, livingston, tx 77351, (936)327-4327) was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The contact was referred to the federal safety agency to file a complaint. The failure mileage was 124,000.
I have my car in the shop getting brake booster replaced at $900, ford has a customer satisfaction program 13n02 that covers newer cars. Looking on-line this issue is prevalent and I believe this should be looked at as a recall, no brakes. Although nearly complete loss of brakes only happened recently I believe this issue may have been building for years. I always noticed other vehicles had (to me) much touchier brakes. I now believe that the other vehicles weren't touchier, it was my car that had low braking. From what I have been reading it seems that this should have been a recall issue years ago but yet it's another cover up by a car manufacturer.
My brakes act like they are stuck a local mechanic told me it was my brake booster I tried to come to a complete stop and they would not work I almost had an accident because of the issue.
Brake booster leakage, on the highway the brakes actually was so hard to depress when coming up upon a vehicle at the light I had to pump the brakes to get it too stop,,,,,,so finally the brakes grabbed stopping the vehicle in a sudden stop. The brake padel went to the floor making a whispering sound.
While driving on a straight roadway, I applied the brakes to come to a stop and had to apply extreme pressure to get the vehicle to slow down and come to a dead stop. My 105 lb. Daughter could not have stopped this vehicle in time and would have crashed. I drove slowly to my repair shop, where the mechanic checked the brakes and advised me that the power brake booster had failed and needed to be replaced. He advised me to report this serious and possibly deadly problem to ford and the federal safety board.
I have a 2007 ford edge sel I just bought a couple of months ago and now I have 2 different recalls on plus a brake booster issues with 2 sensors. I was told by my mechanic to make a complaint because there is a lot of ford edges with this problem. I have no brakes to stop due to this issue and all three have to be replaced. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I have a 2007 ford edge sel. Recently put brand new brakes and rotors all the way around my vehicle. Before I replaced the brakes, I notice the sound of air and the brake pedal was hard. Took it to the shop and they said it was the brake booster.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. While driving approximately 25 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. The contact mentioned that the brake pedal was vibrating and there was a delay to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 177,000.
Brake booster is failing. I am experiencing poor braking, and hissing noise when I depress brake. There is a customer satisfaction program 13n02 but my VIN does not appear to be part of the program. Looking at various forums, this appears to be a major issue with several years of ford edge vehicles impacted. I am requesting that the federal safety agency look into the matter.
Brakes power booster, power booster failing and exhibiting the same problems as later model ford edges, that have been recalled...customer satisfaction program 13n02.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. While driving various speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the contact had to apply excessive force to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. In addition, the contact stated that there was a noise coming from the hydraulic brakes. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The failure occurred each time the vehicle was driven. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that it could be a valve or a brake booster failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer (chapman ford, 9371 roosevelt blvd, philadelphia, pa 19114, phone number: (215) 698-7000) stated that there would be a diagnostic fee. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that there was no recall. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
A hissing sound when brakes were press done when spongy. Then got extremely hard to press. Still makes hissing or air sound diaphragm and brake booster I've been told. Ford covers some models for this problem but not mine and this is very dangerous
My 2007 ford edge is having the same brake issues as described in the ford customer satisfaction program 13n02 brake booster issue for ford edge 2011-2013. Why isnt this expanded. This is a serious issue. I almost couldnt stop my car twice today! Twice! Its so scary to be pressing down on it and nothing happening. It has a hissing sound as well. This needs to be recalled! I was driving with my kids at 20 miles an hour, thank goodness it wasnt faster!
Brakes are extremely hard to press, I'm basically having to stand up on them. Then the car still moves forward a little. I cannot let up off the brake at all at a stoplight because the car begins to roll.
Brake booster recall- I barely had this truck a year, and the brakes are giving me major problems. When I press the pedal. Its hard, and I have to almost stand up on it to stop the vehicle. I've had the pads and rotors replaced, and that's not the problem. I started doing research and found out that there is an issue with the brake booster.
Brake booster: heard hissing sound upon braking. Was stopped at a stop sign, then brakes began to fail and car started to move again. Had to press harder on the brake to get the car to stop. This happened two days in a row. Dealer diagnosed the problem. This is a 2007 ford edge se awd that I purchased in 2009. I replaced the brake booster in 2010 and now again in 2017 it has failed again. I want ford motor company to recall this vehicle for this reason. I want my money back for the first replacement and want them to cover the current replacement. This issue is very dangerous as I could've gotten into two car accidents. Something needs to be done!!!
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.
No known brake issue before and car was recently given a major service check. No brake issues were found during that check. Vehicle was in motion when noticed hissing sound and brake foot pedal going to the floor when applying breaks. Went in first in april and brake booster system was replaced. Recall was newer model edges so we had to pay out of pocket. Went back in less than 90 days later in july because brakes were not filling right again. Master cylinder leak was found. Was not found the first time so the service department gave us a manager discount. Brake booster bleed and master cylinder leak. Replaced brake booster system ($961.38) and master cylinder ($290.23). I feel that the break booster system and connection to master cylinder should be part of recall for this model edge. Since brake issues were not found in an earlier master service (I can send that invoice as well), I think the brake system was bound to fail as I have read in the recall for newer models.
