While driving at about 15 MPH in a parking lot and having gone over a speed bump, I heard a clunk and immediately had a super soft brake pedal. The brakes still stop the car, but with difficulty. The local ford dealer in el paso, tx diagnosed the problems as a defective master cylinder and faulty ABS hcu module. The estimated cost of repairs is $2,176.12. Current mileage is 73,070.

I was out running errands and everything was fine. Left a store to pick up my daughter from practice and had to stand on the brakes to get the vehicle to stop at a red light. This was after stopping fine at the previous three stores and numerous lights I encountered. This issue continued for the next 15 miles of lights and traffic, until I got home. I did stop at an o'reillys auto parts on my way home and checked the brake fluid level, which was full. I have parked the vehicle and have been driving my son's jeep for the past three days. I have an appointment to drop the edge off at williamsburg ford, williamsburg, va, on 3/28/19. I have researched this issue and evidently there is a customer satisfaction program announcement of a brake booster issue covered under an extended warranty (13n01) and have read more than 130 other people have experienced issues identical to mine. Not understanding why this is not a recall due to the nature of the failure being brakes!!!!!!! Failure occurred at 69,536 miles on odometer. I have also recently had an issue with hard shifting from park to drive. I feel and hear a clunk when shifting and taking off from being parked.

While turning into a parking lot on 6/26/17, my brakes failed - went to the floor and I kept going - slowly since I was turning. Dealership sent a wrecker because I was afraid to drive the vehicle. It was the brake booster that had failed. I had just had new rear brakes put on 5/16/17 and went back because of clunking noise when I applied the brake on 6/1/17. I understand that this has happened to other 2012 ford edges and wanted you to add my vehicle to the list. Could have been really bad if I had been driving fast and faster and suddenly needed to stop!

Vehicle experiences extremely hard transmission shifts. When slowing down and going to speed back up, transmission appears to shift into wrong gear causing vehicle to bang hard then shift into correct gear to the point the entire vehicle shakes/feels like you were hit. Vehicle also engages hard into 1st/2nd gear when coasting and reapplying gas. I have experienced the hard shift into gear issue multiple times (at least 10-15) and 1st/2nd gear engage bump everyday. This is a problem that continues to get worse and will probably lead to transmission failure.
