2010 Ford Edge brakes complaints
Page 7 of 7: complaints 161 to 179 of 179, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Brakes started making a very loud "hissing" sound and occasionally felt like the pedal wouldn't depress. Had the car inspected at dealership and was told the brakes were fine. Today (month later) the brakes still make the "hissing" sound and the brake won't depress without really stepping on it hard. It feels like the car will not stop. I drive my kids in this car and it terrifies me - this is clearly a problem that can lead to fatal results. I am surprised to find out there is no recall on the brake booster, which is the problem; given the incidents with gm and toyota I am shocked ford has made no effort to correct this problem. I am now not sure I will purchase a ford again in the future if I can't trust they will issue necessary safety recalls.
A loud "hissing" noise can be heard when depressing the brake pedal. Brakes feel "spongey" and require considerable effort to bring the vehicle to a full stop. I took the car into tire kingdom for diagnosis and was told the rotors and brake pads on the front of the vehicle needed replaced. This was completed only to find it did not resolve the problem. The manager contacted ford and was advised there is a recall on the power brake booster for the make, model, and year of my vehicle. I contacted ford to schedule the repair and was told that my VIN is not part of the recall and the repair would not be covered. When I questioned further I was advised the recall only covers "some" of the cars assembled at the oakville plant with my make, model , and year and that they could not cover the replacement of this faulty equipment.
The brakes on my 2010 ford edge make a hissing noise when pressed. In addition, the brake pedal feels spongy and the car will only stop when you press the pedal all the way down to the floor board. This is a problem that ford is aware of, yet they refuse to cover the cost of the repair. Ford released a "customer satisfaction program 13n02" memo describing the exact symptoms that my car is showing and stated that the problem is with the brake booster system. However, the memo states that only certain 2010 vehicles are affected and mine is not one of them. I am terrified that one day soon, the car will not stop at all and my family and I will be seriously injured. We received a quote of approximately $1400 to repair the brake booster system. Ford is completely aware that the brakes on the 2010 edge are faulty, but they knowingly continue to place families in danger by not acknowledging that the brake defect is more widespread.
Problem to break the car in a slope. When I press the the break pedal, it gone all the way out. When I press for a second time it stop at least 25 feet to hit a wall. As per mechanic consulted this was due to a defective break booster in my ford edge sel 2010.
Brakes made hissing sound when pedal was pressed and then had to stomp on the pedal to get the car to stop. The vehicle nearly slid into a busy highway at the intersection because the brakes didn't engage. A certified ford technician at the dealership said the issue was a faulty brake booster that needed replaced. Apparently, this has been a huge issue with many ford models including mine. A simple google search reveals hundreds of complaints about this defective part. Please investigate! This is very dangerous and it's just a matter of time before there is a serious accident.
Brakes have become spongy and a hissing sound is emitted when they are pressed. Pedal must be pressed harder than normal.
Had to push the brake pedal very hard to stop, so basically no power brakes. Took it to the ford dealer and paid >$600 to replace the brake booster. I have never had to replace one of these in any car I have owned. This is not a repair that should be needed given the number of miles on the car. Ford should be the one paying for this repair.
Very hard brake. Extremely hard to stop especially at a slow roll. Braking at faster (20-30mph) speeds more effective, but very ineffective when moving very slowly (5mph or less). When applying brake, there is a hissing sound. Very scary to drive and only did to get to repair shop. This problem matches exactly an existing recall with ford edge 2010's, but for some reason my VIN was excluded in the recall. Car repaired at ford dealer, but had to pay more than $500.
At random times when braking the brake pedal will feel like a brick, with no power brake boost. It feels like the brakes would feel if the car were shut off, but it is still running. Or at other times the pedal is very spongy feeling. In both cases there is a delay in braking causing a potentially hazardous situation.
Brake pedal became stiff and it was hard to stop without standing on brake. Mechanic had to replace the power brake booster. The federal safety agency has a file # 10052836 and ford issued tsb #csp-13n02 to notify and replace part for only select cars. If you aren't in this group, you have no idea your brakes will suddenly be difficult to apply, resulting in accidents.

Too many complaint on ford 2010 acceleration problem that had injured many many and put a lot of peoples life in danger. I bought my ford last year from an auto dealer. The first time I noticed the acceleration problem, I was parking my car in a parking lot and my car accelerated on its own and I went on the grass. The second time I was parking in my garage and the car accelerated again on its own and I almost push my sons through the garage door. The third time it happened it accelerated again on its own and the brake did not work. I hit a parked car in a small townhouse parking lot. My car and the other car was damaged. Police report was filed and my auto insurance fixed the 3 cars involved. I was scared I thought I was going to die that day. Since this time I have been trying to resolve the problem with the ford company but they're not taking any responsibility on the matter. I then went on the internet to research on this problem. Found out that there are lots and lot of complain on this accelerating problem with ford edge 2010. Yet ford claimed there is no recall on the model. When is ford going to take responsibility and fix the problem. Are they waiting for someone to get killed before ataking care of this situation. Please help us. You are the last hope. I am paying for the car but I am too afraid to drive it its been parked since the accident. Please help.
I bought a used 2010 ford edge last year august from connicelli dealer in conshohoken pa. The same day I bought the car, on my way home I noticed that the brake has a problem. Took it back and was fixed. Right after this., I was parking in a small parking lot , the car accelerated on his own and went on the grass. The second time I was parking in front of my garage, the car accelerated again and I almost drag my second car to the basement. The third time, I was parking in small parking lot and it accelerated again. Only this time, the car crash into parked car and the car hit another car. My car and two other cars was damaged. Thank god, nobody was in the two cars. The 3 cars look like it was a highway auto accident. I am not sure if the us government is going to do anything about ford and the acceleration problem until when it kills one of their own. Ordinary citizen do not count. Ford company is a giant, mega company that helps when it comes to politicians in us. I am scared of this car. It almost kill me. Federal government is on this monster heartless company side. Killing innocent people because of their power in this country. Ford company are untouchable. Consumers just have to live with it. The only time you probably get a solution will be when one of the tops get killed in a ford auto accident occurring with an acceleration problem. Then you will hear it the cnn. Shame on all that knows this acceleration problem and not doing anything. Will it be different if its your mother, father, wife, husband, daughter, son or grandchildren. I am 56 year old and I have driven different cars, never been in an accident until I bought this ford edge. Do the right thing. Ford company you're selling us a lemon and you know it. You need to pay for this killings. Us federal government, you're our last hope. Please help us.

On 1/21/12, I pulled into a parking space, with my foot on the brake to put the car into park, the engine made a funny noise and the car surged forward crashing into a ford mustang. This crash should never have happened since my foot had the brake depressed. When the car came to a halt after hitting the mustang, I had to pull the gear shift out of "park" to back up off the damaged vehicle. After taking my vehicle to randall ford to be checked out, I was informed that there was nothing wrong with my vehicle. They tried to convince me that my foot was on both pedals. This is virtually impossible to do in my car unless my foot was turned at a 90 degree angle from it's normal position. If my foot had slipped off the brake and hit the gas I would have said that and never taken my vehicle in to be inspected. I know ford never wants to admit they have a problem with their vehicles but I urge the "powers that be" to go back into their issue history and check out the issues you had with the ford freespirit surging forward on numerous occasions. I would like for someone to take this issue serious while my car is still under warranty. I cannot afford an $8000. Repair. I would also like to state that if someone had been between my car and the mustang it hit, they could have been severely hurt or killed.
I have a new 2010 ford edge. I had it a week when I pulled up to a stop sign on a hill. I had the car in drive with my foot on the brake. There were cars in front of & behind me. When it was time to move forward, I took my foot off the brake and started moving it to the gas petal when I noticed the car was rolling backwards. I put my foot back on the brake and quickly moved it to the gas petal and was able to move forward before bumping the car behind me. I repeated the action on our driveway, which also has a slope. Again, it rolled backwards. I took it to the dealer, they drove it and said it did roll backwards but there was nothing wrong with it - that was normal operation. They drove another edge and said it did the same thing. I told them it shouldn't do that - it was unsafe, and they said there was nothing they could do about it.
