2009 Ford Edge: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed May 8, 2019 · Brakes · 113,000 miles · PA

I have a 2009 ford edge sel with 113,300 miles. I had been experiencing brake issues with squeaking and having to push the brake pedal down all the way with fear that the car would not stop. There were no warning signs or warning lights and just came out of the blue. It would happen whether I was just driving slow or faster on any type of road or weather condition. I saw ford put an extra warranty on edges from 2010-2013 regarding the same issue via 13n02. I have read a lot of complaints from years previous and after this extended warranty. I think this should be looked into as I have a young son who I drive to school a lot and since there was no warning about brake failure I'm just thankful nothing bad happened. I took it to a mechanic and was told it was the master cylinder and a bad power brake booster. Thank you.

The brake booster which is a known problem on every ford edge from 2007 - 2013 started making a hiss or loud squeaking noise when pressure was applied to the brakes. For this 6 year ford has installed the exact same manufacturers part, but ford has only recalled some of these years despite the same issues occurring with every model year. After a while the noise intensified and then the brakes failed!!! Sometimes the brakes would not engage until the pedal was mashed to the floor, sometimes they engaged as soon as the pedal was pressed. This creates a very dangerous environment. I own 3 different model ford vehicles, but this could be the last ford I purchase. I took the edge into a brake specialist and was told about this being a well known issue on the ford edge, but that I purchased the "wrong" year 2009 and this is the only model year not covered under the federal safety agency recall. They have quoted me $925 to make the repairs. While I will do this repair since I will not put my family at risk we are very disappointed by ford's corporate negligence on this issue.

When driving my 2009 ford edge with under 46,000 miles, the brake pedal has a spongy feel and it becomes quite difficult to use the brake at times. It also makes a hissy or squealing noise. At times is very, very hard to press the brake down to stop the car. My husband took the vehicle to an independent auto repairman. He said the brake booster was bad. It had failed. My husband talked with an independent auto repair person. He said I had a bad brake booster. My husband called the ford dealer and after running the VIN number, he was told that my car did not qualify for a recall. The brake booster has failed. The car has under 46,000 miles on it. I have it scheduled to be repaired at my own expense as this is a dangerous driving situation. Why did ford have an extended warranty coverage for the 2007-2008 and 2010-2015 edge models but omitted the 2009 models?

Tl*the contact owns a 2009 ford edge. The contact stated that the suspension was faulty and the brakes failed. When she depressed the brake pedal at 8 MPH, she heard a loud grinding noise and the vehicle would not stop. If the ABS had not engaged, she would have been unable to stop completely. The dealer test drove the vehicle and could not find any failures. The contact informed them that the suspension needed to be repaired first and then the vehicle should be test driven at over 40 MPH in order to duplicate the failure. The dealer informed the contact not to bring the vehicle back. The failure mileage was 4,020.
