# 1. Brakes - There is a known brake issue with these vehicles. The brakes started making a loud hissing noise and we were almost unable to stop the vehicle and ended up in the middle of an intersection.

After I got out and let the car to cool down I tried to drive in reverse but the reverse didn't work, only from drive and L gear, I parked my car with the front end facing my home, I can't drive it it all
Dash lights flash and car loses power during travel resulting in a very dangerous situation
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
The vehicle the 2007 ford edge shut off on the highway without warning after I turn it back on the gas seemed like it was in passing cuz the car started sputtering like hesitating and then shut off again.when I kept trying to turn the vehicle on unsuccessfully it would crank but not turn over and then I smelled something burning like wires rubber wires something to that effect and it sound like it was it smell like it was coming from under the hood... About three days later my brake lights went out and burned straight to the plastic around the bulb
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.
