2015 Ford Edge: brake failure

Filed Sep 12, 2026 · Brakes, Electrical · MA

My 2015 Ford Edge Titanium (VIN provided) suffered a catastrophic engine failure at 85,475 miles requiring a Ford long block replacement. After driving only 53,000 miles on the new corporate engine component, the vehicle began shaking violently and suffered a sudden, dangerous loss of power while driving, rendering it completely inoperable (it is sitting in my driveway unable to be driven). The vehicle threw critical fault codes P050B (Cold Start Ignition Timing) and P061B (Internal Control Module Torque Calculation Performance). Diagnostics indicate a terminal internal failure of the timing chain or torque converter. This vehicle has a severe, documented history of manufacturing and safety defects, including catalyst monitor sensor failure 08/23/16, fan relay failure 11/20/18, purge valve failure 02/27/21, a total loss of brakes while driving on 02/15/22 due to a rear caliper failure, a faulty throttle body on 03/06/22, and an incorrectly installed engine wiring harness by the dealership when engine was replaced. This list is not all inclusive. I have a 1.5" binder of repairs and services dating back to purchase date which are too numerous to attach. This failure directly mirrors the engine defect patterns currently being evaluated under the federal safety agency Defect Petition DP26008 / ODI 11754989.

Ford states that the replacement parts are not available and that FORDMOCO parts can only be used and only FORDMOCO parts will be used in correcting the recall by the local Ford service dept. OEM Aftermarket replacement parts are in stock at my local Autozone store. I am not going to take a chance having a brake system failure and accident while I wait for Ford to obtain the brake lines and schedule their replacement, which they said would not be any sooner than September 2026. I will purchase and have the brake lines replaced by an ANSI certified mechanic and then I will file suit against Ford to recover my costs to do the repair and cover legal fees. I refuse to be subjected to an anxiety factor with the fear of a brake failure and a crash for a year, because of a manufacture's negligence and a failure to honor its warranty.

As I was leaving a parking deck and heading toward the exit gate, I applied the brakes, but the pedal went all the way to the floor. I had to pump the brakes repeatedly to stop. After driving a short distance, the problem persisted, so I parked my car and left it overnight. The next morning when getting the car, I noticed a wet spot near the rear driver-side tire. Upon checking, I found that the brake fluid reservoir was empty, so I refilled it with brake fluid. The vehicle has since been repaired by an independent mechanic and was not inspected by a Ford representative or anyone else besides the mechanic. I don’t recall seeing any warning notifications during the incident but the inspection report indicates a brake code error.

I had a sudden loss of brakes. As I applied the brakes for an up coming stop sign the brakes initially engaged and briefly slowed the car as the brake petal continued to the floor. Only after pumping the pedal was I able to completely stop. No warning light was ever displayed. Service was accomplished and it was determined that a right rear brake line had suddenly failed. I believe this to be a serious threat to safety. This vehicle now has 63,166 miles on it and has been garage kept and never exposed to salt or other corrosive material for any length of time. Thank You.

As I was pulling out of a parking spot my brake pedal went all the way to the floor board. I was traveling with my child at the time and being unsure of what was going on I drove the vehicle across a bridge back to my county to the closest repair facility I could get too. I had barely missed hitting the vehicle ahead of me since it would not stop all the way. After the tech checked it out, it was leaking brake fluid and the hose was busted. Had it towed to the ford dealership since it should had been covered under warranty. Then found out it was a recall that we have never received any documentation about. This is unsatisfactory since it put myself and my child in danger .

2015 ford edge with 45, 250 miles. I was driving along and went to apply my brakes. The pedal went to the floor. I was approaching a red light. I pumped and pumber to slow down. At that time, the brake light and the low brake fluid lights came on. I had no brakes. I had to pull the electric barking brake up to stop. I had to travel a little ways more and make a u-turn in the middle of a 4 lane busy , major highway, in order to get to a shopping center parking lot. There again no brakes - had to use my electric parking. I was so afraid. I am just thankful I thought of the hand brake, which almost threw us in the windsheild. It was such a hard stop. I called roadside assistance to get the car and tow the dealership. They have verified, brake line busted on my car. It has a split in it. I purchased the car new from the dealership. I believe this is a very serious matter. Brake line busted on something with that low of miles.
