My brake lights are not turning off. Upon inspection of the brake light switch attached to the pedal, I saw a plastic part (washer) that had broken in half. I believe it is the same issue that affected other 2014-15 Ford models. (https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2022/01/19/ford-recall-brakes-fusion-lincoln-mkz/6580413001/)

When approaching a stop light the breaks felt less resistant and would not engage properly. Luckily we had just left home so we turned around and took a different vehicle. When we came back home there was a puddle of break fluid under the rear right tire and the break fluid reservoir was empty. Since there was already a recall in the front break hoses we are concerned there is a fault with the rear break hoses.
Rear brake lines split while driving no warning just couldn’t stop all the way.

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.
While driving my 2015 Ford edge my brakes went completely out almost causing me to slam into the vehicle ahead of me. My brake fluid was completely gone. I had previously called about the recall as stated in the letter months ago and was told the parts were not available and I would be contacted as soon as they are. I was never told NOT TO DRIVE my car. This is my only means of transportation and now they are saying parts are in but there is a possible 2 to 3mnth wait period with no loaners available. This is unacceptable and Ford cus service hasn't been any help.
The contact owns a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH and attempting to stop the vehicle, the braking system malfunctioned and the brake pedal extended to the floor causing the vehicle to nearly crash into a truck. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who diagnosed that the rear passenger’s side brake line had failed. The brake line was replaced and the failure was remedied. Later while operating the vehicle, the brake warning light illuminated. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the rear driver’s side brake line had failed to cause brake fluid to leak from the vehicle. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The contact indicated that both the front driver’s side and passenger’s side brake lines were previously repaired for the same failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000.
Left rear brake line ruptured; resulting in catastrophic brake failure.
Originally got recall notice in May 2021. Called my Ford dealership and they said they could not repair because they did not currently have the parts. Called again a few months later and made an appointment - day before appointment the dealership called to cancel because they still did not have parts. On September 14th my brake lights went on and I could not brake properly, they were very spongy. I brought my car to my mechanic and he said the brake fluid was leaking and the hose had to be replaced, and that the car was undrivable. Called my dealership and the manager agreed to reimburse my mechanic's repairs, along with the rental car I needed. After the car was fixed the manager went back on his word and denied promising reimbursement, and now I am out $266.75 for repairs and $647.93 for the car rental
Brake flexible hoses split and brake fluid leaked, causing brakes to become unusable. Light came on indicating low brake fluid level on 9/14/21. Service manager at local Ford dealership confirmed on the phone that my mechanic could fix it and I would be repaid, but now he is denying my refund.

I received a letter from Ford Motor Company in September 2020 noting the recall and that I would be notified by mail when the parts are available. Received second letter from Ford Motor Company in May 2021 that the parts are available and to contact a local dealership for scheduling repair. I contacted Bill Estes Ford in Brownsburg, IN who stated that they would order the parts as they didn't have them in stock. I followed up in June 2021 to a report the parts are on backorder and again July 14, 2021 and July 26, 2021 with same response that parts are backordered. July 14, 2021 contacted Ford Motor Company and established a case number which they stated would help force the parts order process and that I should contact the Service Manager at Bill Estes Ford Brownsburg, IN within 7 days to see if they have received the parts. I contacted Bill Estes Ford on July 26, 2021 and was told the parts are still on backorder with an unknown date of delivery. I then contacted Ford Motor Company Customer Service to check the status of my case submitted on the July 14, 2021 and was told the parts are on backorder. My wife is very concerned about the brake system which could fail on this vehicle and it appears that Ford Motor Company (Almost 1 year after notifying me of the recall) still cannot complete the required repair.

This is the second time in a year that the brakes in our vehicle have stopped working. The pedal goes all the way to the ground and does not completely stop the car. We had the issue dealt with last year at the dealership where we had our vehicle towed to. It was only then that we were notified that there was a recall on the hose that may affect the brakes and other functions of the vehicle. It was replaced. This has now happened a second time while my husband and 2.5 year old were driving home. If he was not able to have some control over the vehicle he and my child could have been killed or someone else on the road. I called the dealership to let them know that the car would be towed again and told the issue. They confirmed we dealt with this same issue just one year ago and I asked why is this happening and this is so unacceptable as my family's safety is at risk. I asked if there are any recalls or issues with the make and model that we should be aware of. After looking up the vehicle she then informed us there was indeed a recall for the flex hose which could cause leaks and affect the brakes. The vehicle is currently at the dealership being inspected. Due to where the leak is coming from it seems to be the left side of the vehicle now which tells me the dealership only replaced one of the hoses and not both causing this to happen again. This is negligence and I am beyond frustrated at the thought of what could have happened and I don't think waiting until someone is killed is the right time to fix this issue. There were no warning lamps, messages or symptoms prior to the failure, it just happened while driving and trying to stop.
