While driving my 2013 ford edge the brake system on my vehicle began to fail on the highway. When applying pressure on the brake pedal the brakes became very hard, the brake pedal was depressed to the floor but the car was still moving forward. There was also a hissing sound coming from the brake pedal. I was stopped at a red light, the seat warmer for the driver seat was on, and the car lunged forward and then the engine shut off automatically. The engine light came on and indicated low oil and to place the car in park. I placed the car in park, turned off the key in the ignition. I then turned the car back on and the warning light was off along with the seat warmer. I have to believe this was related to the braking issue creating a possible vacuum loss through the failed brake booster system and increasing the RPM's. The brake booster system in my car was repaired (84,189 miles) at tires plus at a cost of $700 and the loss of my vehicle for two days. The service advisor at tires plus called a local ford dealer service advisor and after providing the VIN# for my car was advised it was not covered although this is a know issue and a technical service bulletin / cspn1302 has been issued and amended with supplement #1. Ford motor company needs to address this by either including/extending the current csp 13n02 or a recall to reimburse auto owners that are dealing with the failing brake boosters. This is a safety issue that is not going away.

The first time I noticed a throttle sudden acceleration was when I was driving about 45 miles down a road and suddenly a thrust of acceleration jumped the vehicle and then even when I pushed on the brakes the car thrust forward so I put the car in neutral and it stopped, luckily there were no cars around. The second time it happened I was at a red light and the car suddenly accelerated on its own I floored the brake but still the car wouldn't stop and then put the car in neutral and the car stopped. There were no warning indicators to indicate an issue.

9/1/17, I was driving home on the freeway. The car lost power but I was able to limp out of traffic. Here is the unsafe thing'.. While coming to a stop the accelerator surged two or three times forcing me to depress the brake to keep it from accelerating further. The engine rpms went from idle (approx. 600rpm) to 3000rpm while my foot was pressing only on the brake and the wrench symbol displayed alongside the speedo. 15 minutes later, it happed again. I lost all ability to accelerate, the wrench displayed, and the check engine light came on. While stopping, the car surged forward and forced me to shift into neutral to control it while pressing the brake. If there was anyone infront of me, I would have surged and rear-ended them causing damage or injury. There is a lot of history on the electronic throttle bodies and their electrical connection problems in the edge, escape, explorer, and mustangs. Please get this make model included in a recall.
