Brake booster leak. Very dangerous and expensive to fix!!!!
Brake fail's due to leak in brake booster, brakes still work but extreme pressure on pedal required to stop car and extra time and distance required to stop or slow car. Car garaged entire life and only just turned 100k on odometer. This should be a recall in the interest of safety as many people have reported this and no action on ford's part to correct this dangerous situation. This has been talked about many times on internet.
Power steering fluid leaking.Had hoses replaced,but problem still persist.No.2 Power brakes lost,pedal very hard. Very lucky ,not to hit car in front of me. Car is in shop,mechanic tells me it probablyneeds Power booster replaced. no warning signs.

Brakes not working right, feel spongy. Not sure if I would stop at stop signs or coming up behind other vehicles. Also heard a hissing sound when stepping on brakes. Took to Brakes Plus center and they determined it was the power brake booster and master cylinder and that the car should not be driven due to the severity of the problem. We called a Ford Dealership and validated my vin was not part of a recall and that the car had never had this issue fixed previously. The Brakes Plus employee found there was a recall for this exact issue, but as stated before, the vin was not part of this recall. I had to have the brakes fixed immediately to prevent harm to others or myself. I called a Ford Dealership to get an appointment, left a message, but still have not heard back from them so I had it fixed at Brakes Plus. The car never displayed any warning that I am aware of. Due to this being a known severe issue, I believe Ford should cover this issue regardless of the year, model or mileage of car. It seems to be a part that was used in many Ford vehicles and should have been a recall for any vehicle.

Brakes making air noise when pressed on
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

Brake Booster failure - Very difficult to slow/stop vehicle. An older person or someone with poor leg strength would have a very difficult time stopping the vehicle and chances for crash would be greatly increased.

Either way it is extremely dangerous. On several occasions I have almost ran into traffic or hit another car because I haven't been able to stop. Warning: No warning light. My warning was running into oncoming traffic due to the inability to stop become of the brakes. Timing: The past month

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.
When I attempt to brake, the brake is very stiff and hard to compress. It slows at a much slower rate than normal. Even when forcefully slamming on brakes it does not always engage. This has almost caused several accidents as I cannot brake normally. This is a safety issue for both me and other drivers on the road. It has not been inspected yet. I have done research and found many other internet complaints with the same issues, so I believe it it is the brake power booster.
I would like to report the issue of failing brake boosters on 2010 Ford Edge SEL models. There are many complaints popping up in the past couple years and mine has gone as well.

my brake booster is failing , it has all the symptoms stated in fords 13n02 bullitin about its failure. i called them today and they said they would not cover the repair .Even though its a known problem .
Brake booster has to be replaced which was being covered up until 2020 the mechanic told me so I liked to know why it's not covered now. I bought the vehicle in late December of ,2020 so I wouldn't have known and I got it from a dealership. The brakes don't work because of this known problem. So I have a $800 repair bill I'm hoping to get taken care like it should have when I bought it. Thanks for your time and help!
