Brake Booster All of a sudden my brake went to the floor and made a hissing sound, spongy response. Took it to Cowin Ford and they diagnosed and replaced the brake booster. It was really dangerous as response to brake was really slow. I almost hit a car in front of me. No warnings or symptoms prior.

The brake pedal sunk all the way to the floor before braking. This has happened multiple times and now there is a leak in the ABS which we are in need of a ABS pump. Was told by mechanic that this is an ongoing problem with the Ford Edges. And, the real problem is the mechanic cannot find a replacement pump for it. Multiple locations were contacted but nothing is available. My Edge is a 2011 and currently has 84,500 miles. It’s a dangerous situation when the pedal sinks to the floor before stopping. There are no ABS warnings that pop up on the dash. Need to know what Ford is doing about this.

The brake pedal goes to the floor with no warning. It has happened many times before. I'm on my second master cylinder, it has all new brake pads and calipers all the way around. It has been in the shop 4 times and no one can figure out what is causing this. There are no leaks and all the rubber hoses are in good shape.
