2010 Ford Edge: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed Oct 23, 2023 · Brakes · PA

Car started having issues when trying to brake it was as if the pedal was harder to push and the car was slowing but hard to stop. Also a hissing noise from the brake booster area above where feet are on driverside as well as a high litch squeal once pressed down to a certain point. Its only been getting worse even after changing brakes and rotors. The vehicle just doesnt stop when pressures applied so i have to push pedal hard and while the car doesnt stop the brake sometimes seems to kick in and jerk to a stop but u have to apply alot of pressure to pedal and can hear a hissing noise the whole time using the breaks

Brakes are hard to push and they squeal, This is after several repairs. I have had front and rear pads and rotors replaced, replaced the power brake booster. Also I bought this car new and every time I am applying the brakes and turning the steering wheel to the left something underneath hits on the break and you can hear it and feel it.

My 2010 edge is dealing with the engine light, a wrench, and traction control lights all coming on and off whenever it feels like (in park or in any driving condition). When these lights come on I pretty much lose the ability to break on my own, it resists and grinds when breaking with the lights on. The lights can come and go for days at a time or for only a few miles. Also, the vehicle hesitates on take off when these lights are on. Code reader doesn't really tell us anything useful. If codes are cleared it eventually will come back on and continue having the same issues. This seems to be a common problem by what I'm finding, ford should be responsible to fix this wiring/electrical issue. Another thing, the seatbelt light and alarm will not stop going off, even if you are in park for a while. I just bought this vehicle and I am far from impressed.

According to a ford dealership the ptu (power transfer unit) on my edge needs to be replaced. Problem is that ford has known about this for 10 years. This issue affects model years 2007 through 2017. Is there anything that can be done from a recall perspective? I was advised not to drive with this condition. I became aware of the issue while driving around town and on the expressway. Significant vibration, grinding, and higher pitch sound while in motion.

Front brakes hiss and make singing squeal...do not depress fully then go all the way to the floor. Almost hit 5 cars but each time steered off right and ended up mid intersection on a red light. Heard it is a power booster issue. Also air bags were recalled. Dealer says no.

Traction control light came on. Car breaking while I'm driving. Almost caused me to run off the road. Loud grinding nose coming from brakes. Hissing air sound when pressing brakes. Pedal soft and spongy and goes down to floor board. Spontaneous car breaking happening more frequently ex: turning stopping out while in motion. Brake booster is faulty. I'm have a loan on this car and pay every month but scared for the safety of myself, my son, and other passengers on the road by to drive my car. Ford should fix this. It was recalled as 13n02 but they won't cover my VIN

Ford edge is having a multi year problem with the awd ptu (power transfer unit)...ford says that the fluid in the ptu is a lifetime fluid, meaning it doesn't ever have to be changed...it does not even have a drain plug...but it is installed very close to the exhaust system, which overheats the fluid every time it is driven...eventually the fluid turns to a solid grease like gunk that wears down the gears and bearings and mechanics say can even lock up the drive system, causing an accident. Instead of a $75 lube job to replace the gear fluid, replacing the ptu costs anywhere from $1500 to several thousand dollars. My ford edge ptu just went bad and I'm now finding out that thousands of edge owners are being faced with this dilemma also...I started to hear the gears grinding when going into a turn and eventually there was a constant grinding noise even while going forward

When applying the brakes, my car would make a hissing sound. Sometimes the brake would feel hard, but here recently the brake pedal had more of a spongy feel. This had been going on for several months without noticeable issues related to the braking performing. That was until yesterday. The hissing noise was still present and the pedal would go down all the way to the floor when applying the brakes. The vehicle was in motion and would not stop properly for me when I was approaching a stop sign. I had to pump the brakes in order for the vehicle to come to a stop. If the pedal was held down, a squealing noise then occurred. I researched online to see if this was a common issue with other ford edge owners, and I came across an extended warranty that ford released in 2014 titled, "13n02." the extended warranty talked about an issue that had been occurring in ford edge models made between 2010-2013. The description of the affected vehicles was spot on with what I had just experienced with my vehicle and I met the program terms due to my car being less than 10 years old and under 150,000 miles. I immediately brought my vehicle in to the local ford dealership to have my car repaired. To my surprise, the mechanic informed me that my vehicle was not covered based on my VIN number. We then quickly discovered it was due to my car being built five days prior to the included date on the extended warranty. The warranty covered vehicles from may 3, 2010-march 28, 2013. My vehicle was made on april 28, 2010. The staff at the ford dealership could not believe this either. It is obvious that the dates on the warranty should be adjusted. I had to pay to have my brake booster replaced for the same service others were covered under warranty. This is a very serious issue and a major safety hazard that needs to be brought to ford's attention before people are killed related to this issue.

Purchased a 2010 ford edge sel awd on july 27, 2009. On august 12, 2009, vehicle began bellowing smoke from the wheel wells. Brought the vehicle in for service to be told that the ptu seal was blown. They replaced the seal and installed a deflector so as to not be able to smell the burning fluid as quickly. Ford has been issuing technical service bulletins on this since 2007. Due to the fluid loss, it causes the transmission to slip. Ford continues to claim that it cannot duplicate the problem. Also, the engine is squealing loudly, due to the issues mentioned above.
