While backing up, the camera will often reverse the view or flip upside down. Other times it will suddenly black out. All result a scary and unsafe situation. Especially when reversed and it looks clear on the wrong side!!

First the master cylinder went, then the brake booster and now the hydrolic control unit. Eachpart more expensive thenthe last and the last being 2119.20 to repair. The entire braking system, parts I was told should not break. I have been told, by a reputable mechanic that often when replacing the brake booster, the lines are improperly bled andair gets into the hydraulic system. Upon farther research on line into the issue, there are page after page of the same complaint.

Brake booster recall symptoms described in publicized notices, including on this website, are what I am currently experiencing on my ford edge. Car takes longer to stop and braking system feels soft. Additionally, the advancetrac warning system light illuminates on occasion when car is in park for 10-20 minutes without moving, with engine running. Per the ford forum, this is a common problem that does not seem to have a solution from ford. I have lost confidence the ford is interested or able to remedy either of these issues. I am afraid to drive it now that braking issue started today.
