Heard a hissing noise while stopped. At my next stop, brakes became hard to press down. Continued to have difficulty with brakes stopping because they were hard to press. Husband replaced brake booster and this fixed the problem.
While driving approximately 10-15 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed repeatedly with a delayed response. The malfunctioned recurred whenever the brake pedal was engaged. Hard to push on the pedal and very firm. Stop car and restart it's ok until you drive and stop again. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that the brake booster cylinder was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 81,000. This is very dangerous and non-drivable.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. While driving 5 MPH, the brake pedal rattled and sank down to the floorboard. The contact heard a whistling sound and had to apply the emergency brake in order to stop the vehicle. The failure occurred multiple times. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. An independent mechanic stated that the brake booster was defective. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 104,000.
Took car in to check brakes 10/29/13 tech says he could not find a problem. Drove 45 miles back home and no brakes. Drove back very slowly tyhe same day. Tech says "oh you need a new master cylinder and booster". Costs $873. On july 3rd the brakes failied again. Almost ran into a house with no brakes. Had the car twowed. They seem to cannot find a problem car has been with auto nation ford union city, ga 3 days now with no end in site. Was told by the service advisor that there was a recall on the master cylinders. I could not find anything. He also told me that a recall may have been active when I paid for the repair at the same dealership in october 2013.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. The contact stated while driving 15 MPH, she attempted to decelerate but the pedal failed to engage.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 105,000.
While driving depressed the brake pedal and felt a lot of resistance without much braking. After a second or three the pedal started to plunge to the floor applying the brakes with great force. Took to local dealer where they replaced the master brake booster. This was at 61000 and was not under warranty. Just today april 15, 2014 it happened again. Took it to the dealer and received the same prognosis, the master brake booster is bad. The car currently has 120000 on it, kind of odd that it was nearly the same duration for the second one to go bad. This time the cost is nearly double that of last time. This is ultimately a very dangerous defect as it quickly happens and you may not stop in time to avoid collision.

I was driving along and attempted to stop at a red light. My brakes suddenly became extremely resistant to my foot pressure and a high pitched squealing noise accompanied the situation. I was not able to stop immediately but managed to escape a collision with oncoming traffic. I drove my vehicle, cautiously, to a ford dealership and the mechanic diagnosed the problem (brake booster) immediately. He stated he had two 2007 ford edge vehicles in the shop with the same problem (bad brake booster). The internet is flooded with this issue in the ford edge. I and many others have been effected financially and emotionally. A recall on the break booster is necessary to prevent further injury and financial loss to ford customers.
My brakes all of a sudden became very spongy with no warning. With a high pitch squealing noise when I pressed the petal to the floor. Then the petal became very hard to press. Mechanic told me I needed new rear brake pads and rotors. After replacing I am still having same problems with nearly crashing into the back of another vehicle. Now I am told I need to replace power brake booster.
I had my front and back brake pads changed, they bled the line and I noticed that the brakes were extremely soft - pedal went all the way to the floor. Had the line rebled and same thing. Took it in to my mechanic and the power brake booster had gone out. Called dealership and they had none in stock and they were on back order - only 3 dealerships in houston area had one. Found one at a dealership on the other side of town, bought it and had the mechanic install it, rebleed the brake line. Now the pedal would be stiff and hard to press down to get truck to stop. Took it back in and had the line rebled and the rotors re-turned. That did the trick and it has worked fine since.
While driving I notices that when pressing on the brakes that the brake pedal would go all the way to the floor making it very difficult to stop. I had to pump the brakes several times just to slow down and the brake pedal would still go to the floor. Got the card to a service center and after a complete check by the service technician I was told that the brake booster was bad and that it was preventing brake flood to flow the brakes. I cost me $680.00 to fix the problem. I went online and it seems to be a problem with 2007 ford edge vehicles and that many other customers are having the same problem. Luckily I wasn't driving fast and no one was in front of me while driving or I could have crashed without the use my brakes. Ford needs to address this problem if they haven't already. Has there been a ford recall to address the brake problems with the 2007 ford edge?

The brakes skip when going at slow speeds, specially when going down on ramps. This has happened to us several times specially in parking garages.
While braking on a highway I felt something was wrong with the brakes as I had to push the pedal with all my might to slow down. After exiting the ramp and approaching a stop light it was apparent that I had no "real" brakes..again pedal to the floor with a very long distance to come to a complete stop. At this time I could hear a very loud kind of whistling sound coming from the pedal when I applied the brakes..again to the floor. As I pulled into a parking lot it felt like I lost all control ...almost like no power at all to stop the car. This has been reported to ford..my mechanic said it was the brake booster.
This is my daughters vehicle. She complained of a noise in the front end while braking and sometimes while just driving at moderate speeds. Upon inspection I discovered that the inner brake pads on both front brakes were totally worn out and grinding on the metal while the outer pads had plenty of brake material left. The rotors were ruined! The rear brake pads also had plenty of material left. This is totally unacceptable and dangerous.
There are three main issues with my 2007 ford edge. First the brakes make noises and sometimes work and sometimes don't. The tires kept going flat. I have replaced all 4 four tires and one front and one back tire twice now. The transmission slips frequently.
We own a 2007 edge sel and the driver's side brake light constantly burns out. The bulb has been replaced countless times and the socket is melted. I just wanted to share this with everyone. A clicking noise has also developed on the driver's side front wheel recently, however we haven't seen anything related to other complaints about this. The vehicle currently has very low miles (24,000) and this seems odd. I hope this information helps others.
Both rear brake light sockets are burnt and melted. This has been reported in complaint numbers 10439124, 10380902, 10372008, and 10307462 as well . A quick search on the internet will reveal numerous owners have and are experiencing this exact issue. The socket that plugs into the brake light pigtail (on both sides) is burnt and actually melted. The drivers side has been hot enough to melt the taillight housing itself. And this is happening without causing a fuse to blow or any type of warning that there is a serious electrical issue. With the recall on the 2012 regarding the fuel tank issue you might think shorting taillights in the same vicinity would be a nasty combination.
The first time was on jan 14, 2012. The switch under the brake pedal went out, left me stranded. Now the brake booster is bad. With no warning, the brakes got rock hard and then go to the floor after awhile with a whistling noise. It takes alot of effort to stop vehicle. I came extremely close to crashing . I took my vehicle to the dealer and they told me that the booster was bad. . I am very unhappy that ford don't see this as a problem that should to be recalled. My wife loves her edge, but im afraid that something may happen to my wife and 2 year little girl while driving.
I have a 2007 ford edge. I have had brake problems ever since I bought it. By brake problems, I mean they sometimes grind and sometimes feel like I can't stop as well as I should be able to. I had them checked several times and was told they were fine. I finally had them replaced but they still grind at times. I've learned to deal with this problem. I've also experienced a loud roaring noise. I'm not sure what this is but I've also learned to deal with it as well. Everytime someone rides with me they ask what the noise is and tell me it sounds like my car has not shifted into the right gear. The major problem I have dealt with is the jerking transmission. It started this about a year after buying it. It started doing it a few times here and there until it got to where it did it all the time. I had mentioned it when I took my car to get the oil changed but they always told me they didn't find anything wrong. I finally told them they had to do something. They kept it for a few days and finally called and said the valve body needed to be replaced. Luckily it was still under warranty. They replaced it and it was fine up until several months ago. It started the jerking all over again. It started out slow but now does it all the time. I can't afford to have it fixed again as it's not under warranty any longer. It's still only 4 years old and should not be having all of these problems. I am really surprised there have been no recalls as I've read of other people having the same problems. I am very upset as I still owe on this vehicle but really wish I could get rid of it. I have never had so many problems with a vehicle....even a car I bought that was four years old.....it was a toyota....guess I should have never went to a ford!
Drivers side rear brake/signal light bulb burnt out. Socket bulb goes into was blackened & semi-melted. Next month passenger side same thing. Next month bearings in front passenger wheel went.
The brakes growl and grind no matter what. I keep being told by ford dealers that this is just the sound of the edge! I have never heard brakes like these that do not have a problem but ford fails to admit there is a problem. It takes forever to get the car to stop. I looked it up online and alot of people are complaining of the same thing even on the newer year models.
The first time was in feb. 2010 the switch under the brake pedal went out, left me stranded. Now the brake booster is going bad. No warning, the brakes get rock hard and then go to the floor with a horrible whistling noise. You may or may not stop. Don't do any sudden stops you will crash. I am very unhappy that ford don't see this as a problem that needs to be recalled. Love the car looks and rides, but wont buy another due to the safety issues.
