2014 Ford Edge: brake failure

Filed Oct 15, 2024 · Brakes · TX

Brake pedal sinks all the way to the floor to be able to break. Dealership changed brake booster to solve the problem. It was replaced but it’s still doing the same thing. Next recommendation was to change the brake master cylinder. It was also replacement but still having the same issue. Now the dealership is recommending to change the HCU (hydraulic control unit). I did some research that some ford vehicles is under a recall about HCU’s. But not specifically for 2014 Ford Edge. I am reaching out to get this looked over and consider this part of Ford Edge recall as well. Thank you

This vehicle has a well-documented problem with the ABS hydraulic control module. There are hundreds of cases found on the internet where the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor. the federal safety agency appears to have confirmed this problem in the model year 2015 and 2016 vehicles, but not the 2014 or other years. This is an incredibly dangerous defect that must be addressed.

I am wanting to file a complaint about the safety of my 2014 ford edge. My brakes are very hard to push and get stopped. Even after I am stopped and have my foot on the brake my car still wants to move. I have also experienced where the brake pedal goes to the floor and then the pressure has to build back up before they will work correctly. I have done some searching about this problem and have found that the brake booster goes bad often. I have also found that replacing just the booster does not usually permanently fix the problem. It says that the hydraulic control unit and the brake master cylinder need to be replaced also. How is this not a safety issue and a recall been issued? This is around a $2000.00 fix from what I have read about.

99800 miles on vehicle. Brake pedal went to the floor on 10/27/2022. Serviced at Dealership Sept. 2022. At dealership, confirmed that Hydraulic Control Unit was bad. Had another vehicle in repair with same problem. Recall issued on this issue but didn't cover my vehicle. No advance warning on screen. Internet list many complaints by Edge owners, especially 2011 and 2013. This should be a recall problem and not cost the $1759 that I will have to pay out of pocket.

I was driving my Ford Edge at approximately 35 mph. As I approached a stoplight, I depressed the brake pedal and it immediately went all the way to the floor with almost no braking action. I was able to get some braking by pumping the brakes continually, avoiding an accident at the light. As a local Pep Boys store had replaced the brake pads about 5 weeks earlier, I chose to slowly and carefully drive the car to their location. The brakes continued to require pumping for any braking action. At Pep Boys, I turned off the vehicle and went inside. They phoned me a few hours later to say that they found that the brakes worked fine. They found no fluid leaks, the master cylinder was full, and they could not duplicate any problem. I did a little research on the internet and found two reports of similar incidents at https://www.vehiclehistory.com/articles/ford-edge-master-cylinder-recalls-a-deeper-dive. The two excerpts read: "Brake Pedals Travel to the Floor "One Ford Edge owner reported that the vehicle suddenly lost braking power. The brake pedal pushed all the way to the floor, and they nearly were involved in a collision. After stopping the vehicle and turning it back on, the brakes began to work normally. "In another consumer complaint, the same issue happened. An independent repair shop reinstalled the master cylinder and manually bled the brake lines to fix the issue." I made an appointment with All American Ford in Old Bridge, NJ and dropped my car there on August 16, 2022. I was notified on August 20 that they could find nothing wrong with the vehicle. There was no warning nor prior symptoms of the brake failure. The brakes have continued to work since I turned the vehicle off at Pep Boys. No warning lamps or messages concerning the failure were displayed. I did come across similar failure reports for Edges that claimed the root cause was a combination of master cylinder, brake power booster and electronic brake control module, but my dealer was unaware.

Brake booster needed to be replaced at 20,239 miles. Less than 2 years later the replacement brake booster failed and had to be replaced at 42,480 miles. It seems every 2 years or 20,000 miles the brake booster fails. Fortunately when the brakes failed, it was right after start up and backing out of parking spaces. The pedal became stiff with no stopping power. I had the booster replaced in both instances immediately after the first symptoms of failure occurred. Fortunately the failures did not occur while on city streets or highways. There was a recall on the 2011 thru 2013 ford edge models. You may consider including the 2014 edge for a recall as well.
