2012 Ford Edge: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Jul 21, 2026 · Brakes · SC

The brakes are hard to mash and spongey and it has a hissing kind of sound I believe it is a brake booster. When I bought the vehicle used from a dealership they told me it didn't have any recalls on the vehicle but later own I found out it did have a recall for the abs system so i called the ford company and they told me that the recall has already ended and they wouldn't fix it and now when I look it up online it showed the brake boosted had a recall to that the dealership never told me about but now I believe the recall has already ended on that to but not sure. But if the dealership told me the truth instead of lying to me I could have got to fix so I am wondering if there is away I could get those to recalls done on my 2012 ford edge. I noticed the abs messing up just a couple months after I bought it which was I believe in 2021 or 2022 and the brake booster started messing up around july 15, 2026

My car skids when I try to stop the car(car breaking). This happening a couple of times during the past 2 or 3 days. My car mechanic just did a diagnostic and found out that the ABS Sensor module and electrohydraulic has system failure and needs replacement, but parts aren't available where I live (Puerto Rico). This is surely a matter of security I will appreciate if you can help us to find the parts need to fix this issue.

Ford Edge 2012 Limited 2.0L [XXX] The brake pedal went all the way to the floor while my wife was driving a few times. The brakes DID NOT STOP OR SLOW THE CAR AT ALL! She pumped the brake pedal and braking came back. But, after that we could not trust the brake system. We paid AutoNation Ford in Fort Worth, Texas $2,694.45 on 10/11/2023 to replace the ABS system, after their recommendation that this will fix the problem. This did fix the problem until recently this past week on 9/21/2025, when the brake pedal went to the floor without any braking, just continued to move forward in our driveway. The next push on the brake pedal did provide braking but now seems a little soft. My wife’s sister also has a Ford Edge with similar or the same symptoms, a 2013 Edge. My daughter has a 2012 Ford Fusion with similar or the same symptoms. This is a very dangerous SAFETY PROBLEM with these Ford cars! I suspect that this problem is more widespread than just my family, more Ford Edge vehicles with this ABS problem. A Ford Edge ABS RECALL might be required to help Ford customers be safe!

The first incident occurred in GA on vacation in June. While my spouse was driving, he said the brakes seemed squishy and were not right. When he braked to stop the car to get gas, his foot went almost to the floor. After getting gas, I drove and they did not seem right. The second incident happened the beginning of August and I was coming down a relatively steep hill. I went to brake and my foot went all the way to the floor and did not completely stop. I took the car to my mechanic and he wasn't sure of the problem, and to another mechanic. The 2nd thought it was the brake booster. I then took it to the Ford dealership where I bought it last August and had them look at it. They said it is the ABS module and that I am #829 on the list of 1300 people that need that part, that Ford has no idea when it will be available. The third incident was last Sat, [XXX] and I had No Brakes At All, so I had to take my husband's car to work. In All the incidents, I was at risk, as well as my family and the people driving in front & back of me. I have also had issues of the AC coming in for NO Reason, and after I turn it down, it turns itself back on at full blast. This car is NOT SAFE.

The ABS system is completely shot. I have replaced the entire brake system besides the ABS. There is a recall on the ABS System for other 2012 Ford Edges, but for some reason my vehicle isn’t included. Please consider including my car in the recall as this is a serious safety issue. I cannot even drive the car, because i am not able to brake properly.

Regarding the three Ford vehicles in my possession, each with approximately 80,000 miles, I've observed consistent issues with the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) module. Despite my inquiry with a Ford dealership, no recall has been issued for these vehicles, and the ABS module is reportedly unavailable for repair. Given the apparent prevalence of this issue, I am concerned about the potential impact on vehicle performance during critical events. Furthermore, I am seeking clarification from Ford representatives regarding the lack of a resolution for this recurring problem across multiple vehicles.

Brake pedal hitting the floor : issue comes and goes very rarely . First complain reported on april 2014: brake booster replaced on warranty. Last complain reported to original car dealer: could not identify the issue. In between these two dates, brake booster has been replaced recently. Abs hydraulic control unit may cause the brake failure, no ABS light yet. Ford honored an extended warranty on brake power booster in 2020. Performing a few repeated sudden stops at certain speed gets the brakes to how it should be. No accident ever involved.

My 2012 Ford Edge has always had an issue with its brakes. I put new ones on and then the ABS system goes haywire and kicks in making the car feel like the brakes are constantly engaged. The car has also stopped in the middle of the road by it self with no warning. The brake pedal at times is squishy as well. I have it at a Ford dealership now to get it fixed I have to purchase a new ABS unit and modular. These parts are on indefinite back order per the dealership. I cannot be without a car for months on end but I dare not drive it because it is a safety hazard with unpredictable braking. My son drives this car and I do not want him involved in an accident related to this faulty brake system. Ford should recall this issue and correct it before someone dies in an accident. This dealership does not offer a loaner car like other car manufacturers do which is disgraceful when it is their product that is faulty and on back order. Since my son needs this car ASAP I may have to resort to buying the parts off of the internet.
