Brake booster faulty.
2014 Ford Edge brakes complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 66, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle failed to immediately stop, and the stopping distance was extended. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the brake master cylinder and brake booster; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who diagnosed that the hydraulic brake booster and electronic brake booster were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 100,000.
The brake booster continues to fail. I replaced this part for the second time 6 months ago, the first time was roughly 9 months before that. The failure of this part causes the brake pedal to drop to the floor making stopping tricky. I have had no accidents, no police report and no warning. No dash lights illuminate indicating a problem as well as no symptoms before the failure.
ABS brakes randomly engage in normal braking conditions. Inspection found a broken Reluctor ring on the front drivers side axle.
New brake booster, new brakes put on 6 months ago, ABS now has problems. Car starts to skid when braking, only 1 brake works, car only has about 140,000 miles on it. When on the freeway at about 60-65 mph, car will start to lose power and shake until you hit the brakes really hard 2 or 3 times, no accident yet but if not fixed, it will happen. Brake pedal goes down to the floor will sitting at a red light or at a stop light.
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
Brake booster is bad brakes are hard then soft loud squeezing noise won't.seen many people have this problem. And different models have been recalled but not the 2014 Ford edge. Very dangerous.
experienced a hard brake pedal, making it difficult to stop safely, sometimes the vehicle experienced an loss of brake pressure. I also heard a strange noise while pressing the brake pedal, like a “wind blowing” noise.
Multiple car alarms showed up. Turns out the ABS module is bad. Looked at the Ford page and the same issue is already in recall on 2011-2013 years. This vehicle is a 2014 and has the same problem and should be included in the recall.
Brake pedal floats to the floor. It has not corrected itself. There should be a recall as many people are having the same problem.
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.

When applying the brakes, the brake pedal goes to the floor, the vehicle won't stop. Brake pedal goes to the floor intermittently. On several occasions tried to stop for a stop sign, brake pedal went to the floor, went thru stop sign.
Brakes press down to the floor and a weird sound when braking
The contact’s mother owns a 2014 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while his mother was driving at an undisclosed speed, she depressed the brake pedal, and the brake pedal became spongy and failed to stop the vehicle. The contact stated that his mother had to apply added pressure to the brake pedal and the brake pedal extended to the floorboard and the vehicle stopped slowly. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the front brake lines were bled; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 246,000.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH and making a right turn, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard. The contact stated the vehicle failed to slow as needed. The contact steered the vehicle off the roadway and used the parking brake to stop the vehicle. The contact shifted into park (P) and turned off and restarted the vehicle several times to regain braking functionality. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent at first but had become a recurring failure. Additionally, the vehicle lost braking functionality after driving over a bump or a dip in the road surface.

The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
I own a 2014 Ford Edge, when pressing on the brake pedal, it goes all the way to the floor and have to pump the brakes to make sure I don't hit the car a head of me. 5 minutes later it is back to normal. Or when stopped at a red light the brake pedal will all of a sudden go down to the floor. And now when I brake I get a high pitched wind squealing noise. Also the back driver side passenger door will have a door ajar warning on the dash and that comes and goes and could be dangerous for any passenger sitting in that seat.
After a hard braking because of a person in a cross walk. The brake peddle went almost to the floor. Had a mechanic check and he said the brake fluid was full of bubbles so he change the fluid and the brakes were OK so he tested the brakes with a sudden stop and the brakes now go to the floor again.

AUG. 2023 Mileage 89,000 - 2014 Ford Edge SEL FWD - Program 13N02 eligible??? MOST CRITICAL ISSUE: While driving in highway commuter traffic, traffic came to abrupt stop going 65 miles an hour; I depressed brakes almost completely to the floor but car would not stop. Was able to get pulled onto shoulder and get stopped. I sat and slowly pumped the brakes and the pressure on the brakes finally returned. I'm told brake cylinder replacement ONLY will not solve the issue. There aren't any warning lights, brake fluid is normal level, brake pads and rotors in good shape. So there is no reasonable explanation for what happened other than Ford sold me car with faulty brakes. I see no recalls after 2010. Ford needs to replace my brake booster, Master Cylinder and the HCU at Ford expense. Brake pedal and noise while braking - screeching sounds. I took it to a local dealer for analysis, they pressed on the brake several times, and replicated the squeal. Was told it was the brake booster, that there had been issues with it in several of the Ford models. FORD needs to also replace Master Cylinder and the HCU to ensure this doesn't happen again. I thought I was going to die on the freeway when brakes pressed to floorboard would not stop the car. THOUSANDS OF HISTORICAL ISSUES WITH OTHER FORD EDGE: Brake Pedal Sinks To Floor the federal safety agency Complaint ID: 11343191 Will urgently await Ford response - I only have this one vehicle and need resolved before I loose my life in the vehicle. Thank you in advance for you immediate reply. Susan
I bought this vehicle brand now. The Edge only has 69k miles on it and I have replaced the front and back brakes (rotors, pads, calibers) 3 times (yes...3 times). I also had to recently (in 2023) replace the muffler, left and right outer tierods, left and right front wheel bearings and hubs. NOW: April 2023: my front brakes are pulsating and I brought the vehicle back to my mechanic for a complete vehicle check overall which the mechanic documented: Power steering return line is rotted (cost $175). A/C condenser is leaking and needs to be replaced/recharged (cost $1050). Driveshaft issue/vibration @ 50 mph: need to remove the rear driveshaft and inspect: if needs to be replaced: $4500. Replace Front and Read brake pads/rotors/calibers ($1600)...which would be #4 for replacement. Replacement of right rear parking brake cable ($205). ***I previously wrote a complaint several years ago (for the same VIN#)...this is just an update and I am requesting FORD to review and demand a recall. The 2014 Edge has been a money pit for me and it only has 69k in mileage. If there was a way I could seek reimbursement I would. I will never buy a FORD again.
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.
Multiple time the brake pedal has gone to the floor. Pumping them will provide minimal braking power. Took to a Ford dealer ship and they claim the brakes are fine. Charged $160. The brake pedal still goes to the floor periodically.
The Hydraulic Control on the braking system went out. The total cost of repair is $1828. The garage I took it to says he has had several come in with the same problem. Ford Motor Company did a recall in 2019 on three of their models from 2006-2010 because of a defect in the same part. I believe the Ford Edge needs to be recalled for the same reason.
2014 Ford Edge was purchased in 5/2015 with 6k miles on it. It was a leftover from 2014. There have been constant brake pulsating issues (details below) from the day it was purchased. Rotors have been cut down or replaced every year since the car was purchased. New brake pads have also been required just about every year. The HCU was replaced in 6/2021, which the Ford Dealership admitted was an issue they were seeing with many models however there was no recall ever done. The most recent is an issue with the Brake Booster, which has been confirmed by the dealership. The car is currently at the Ford Dealership. When applying the brakes, the pedal is spongy, and a pulsating is felt in the pedal. This is felt at all speeds but becomes a safety issue at speeds over 30. Braking becomes very hard, and this causes the rotors to heat up and could potentially cause a fatality. Ford recalled 2010-2013 models back in 2014 but only for certain VIN numbers. However, there are customer complaints dating back to 2007. The braking systems on 2007-2014 Ford Edges need to be looked into or there could loss of life.
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.
1. Brakes failed, vehicle available upon request. 2. I avoided hitting the car in front of me and i was ok but I put myself and others at great risk driving my car as the brakes continue to fail intermittently. 3. Problem was reproduced. 4. I paid for 2 diagnosis and they are as follows; a) replace brake booster and master cylinder b) ABS module, this mechanic told me he replaced the booster and master in a 2013 Edge to no avail and has now been waiting 2 months on the ABS module, driver has no vehicle. He also has 1 other 2013 Edge with the same problem. 5. There was no warning indicators.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal went to the floorboard while depressed. The vehicle was taken to two different independent mechanics who diagnosed that the ABS and brake master cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.
Brake petal sinking to the floor. Brakes have been changed and caliper changed as well.
