There is a noise coming from the interior of my car, near the brakes that makes a high pitched noise and is causing the brake to feel a bit hard when pressed. It is believed that the brake booster has malfunctioned. There is a customer satisfaction program listed as 13N02 in regard to the extended warranty coverage for brake boosters. Is my vehicle eligible to be covered on this warranty?

Brake booster failed. This is an known problem with year and model. Ford says recall doesn't apply to vin.
Brake Booster is faulty. I was told this is a known problem for the Ford Edge. A faulty brake booster is dangerous if not fixed asap. The cost to fix is 900 dollars. Since this is a known issue with brake booster it really should be a recall item. IMO

I was driving my 2010 ford egde, when I noticed that it was taking longer to stop the vehicle. Also, when I was applying the brakes, there was an air sound. It was like it was hissing. I knew somehting was wrong. I thought it was because I just had the front brakes replaced and that the mechanic may have forgotten to bleed the lines or that the vehicle was low on brake fluid. I went back to the mechainc and they checked it out again. They figured out that it was the brake booster that was faulty and that the part was inexpensive but the labor was high becuase of the amount of time it takes to fix it. I went online to see if there was a recall for the brake booster and there was for certain 2010 ford edges. When I typed in my VIN, the recall did not come up. I called ford direct to see if my vehicle was included in the recall and they said that my VIN was not. Now mind you, the vehicle is 14 years old, but it only had 107989 miles on it. So needless to say, I had to pay out of pocket to get it fixed. It cost 1255.26. That included the stop light switch that has to be replaced when replacing the brake booster. I don't understand why all of the 2010 ford edges weren't recalled because it seems that just about every one that owns one will have to replace this.
