Braking was an issue so got new brake pads and rotors per mechanic rec. Braking continued to be a problem and after having another driver verify the brake pedal, took it into the mechanics again. They said it was due to the brake booster failure - leak. Which is why I couldn't really press down on the brake pedal and losing the ability to securely stop - even with new pads and rotors on all 4 wheels. Car is at the mechanics since it's not safe to drive with its unpredictable braking. Called Ford customer service but said that there was nothing that they can do since the extended warranty 13N02 – Extended Warranty Coverage on Brake Booster – 2010-2013 Ford Edge & Lincoln MKX is not attached to VIN - they recommended in filing a complaint to see if it can get added and covered under this warranty. Given the date of when this car was purchased (12/20) and with COVID shut downs - it was difficult to address the brake problem - especially given work and everything was shut down. No warranty letters were sent informing me about this potential failure of a critical component in driving. Looks like there are many complaints from other owners experiencing brake failure and even a class action lawsuit support for Ford warrantying instead of recalling. There are also recalls of newer Edge and MKZ for brake booster issues. the federal safety agency, please help!

I was driving my 2010 edge in stop and go traffic. The cars in front of me stoped suddenly so I slammed on my brakes. My brake pedal went all the way to the floor without stopping my vehicle. ( all of this is happening in seconds traveling about two to three car lengths)I released my foot and the brake pedal returned to a normal position. I pressed the brakes again and the pedal traveled all the way to the floorboard again without stopping my vehicle. I released pressure again and this time the pedal shot back hitting my foot with such force that it caused a lisfranc dislocation and severe bone bruising to my right foot. (I lost my job and will be unable to work for at least six months, if I am able to regain full function due to this accident .)through the pain I depressed the brakes a third time and they went to the floor again, not stopping my vehicle and resulting in my vehicle crashing into the vehicle in front of me at a relatively slow speed. The airbags did not deploy.

My power booster for brakes failed. There was a bulletin for my make and model however ford claimed that because it was made at another plant it did not fit the criteria. It had the same issues as the vehicles made in the other plant, I fail to understand how they can cover it from one location and not another. The car only has 107k miles and is 7 years old. Their bulletin covered 150k miles or 10 years making me believe since we came under all of that it is a defect issue.
