The contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal would depress to the floorboard as the brake fluid warning light would appear on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to two independent mechanics where the brake master cylinder, brake calipers, brake booster, and ABS system were all replaced; however, the failure returned soon after each repair. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer where the vehicle was serviced under the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 20V469000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulics); however, the repair failed to correct the brake issue. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 136,000.
Brakes failed and car rolled forward while stopped at a traffic light because of right rear brake line failure. This is the THIRD brake line failure on this vehicle. The first two were left and right front hoses, which ended up being subject of a recall, but only after I had mine fail and repaired. To this date, Ford has refused to reimburse me for those repairs.
The contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, her husband noticed that the brake pedal felt spongy. The brake pedal also extended to the floorboard whenever it was depressed. The vehicle was later taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the rear passenger’s side brake fluid line had ruptured causing brake fluid to leak from the vehicle. The independent mechanic performed a temporary fix to the brake line and the contact was advised to call the local dealer for assistance. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 49,000.
I have a warranty with Jones Junction Kia. I couldn't take my truck anywhere else. The engine light kept coming on and going off. Well I got all the maintenance as needed however. I was told that when any Ford reaches almost 100000 miles that it's a defect that coolant leaks into the engine. Well I never heard such. Come to fine out? The adjusters had to tell the mechanics what was wrong because they couldn't understand what was happening with my truck. The adjusters said my engine needed to be replace because of several other Fords are habi g this same issue. They also repaired my brakes. Jones Kia twice within a 2 month span. And the brake light came on and stayed on. If you need more details ols contact me.
Started months ago on the highway, now in the streets too. Press the gas, car goes then suddenly loses power. Going at 60 mph on highway, car suddenly starts to go slow, and pressing the gas doesn't move the car not even a mile higher. Semi trucks begin to honk horns at you. Afraid now to take highway again. Soon as I exit highway, press the gas and the car doesn't want to shift, almost as if it gets stuck. Continue driving on street and when turning, the car doesn't want to go. Ford had it for 3 days but didn't find anything. Have read posts and found one person with same issue that said it's code 2111, having to do with the throttle. So many people with the same issue and no recalls. It's dangerous to drive on highway now.
My vehicle says parking brake limited function and it won't move.

I have issue with brake hoses rupture while driving and loose brake capability (as Ford did not include all VINs affected I had to paid for repair, now they issue Customer Satisfaction Program 22N02 and they do not want to refund). the federal safety agency must make sure Ford is responsible for their issues on a safety topic as they are clearly not being.
In September/October of 2022 my passenger side right real break line ruptured. Not even a month later my front right brake line ruptured. Today my left rear brake line ruptured. All 3 times my pedal went to the floor, making it dangerously difficult to actually stop my car endangering my life and the lives of those around me on the road. No light has come on to indicate there's a problem with my braking system, any of the 3 times that this has occurred.
A 3nd flexible brake line blew out and I lost my brakes for the 3nd time on this vehicle. The first two lines that blew out were both left and right front. This 3rd one was in the rear and as a result I instructed my mechanic to replace both rear lines. Again and luckily no one was injured or crash occurred as a result of this failure which put my wife and I at a great risk. We were able to slowly and carefully bring the car to our mechanic immediately thus no tow was required. No police or first responders were needed. There was no indication of failure until the brake pedal went immediately all the way to the floor. This is my third filing report and the story is the same for the prior cases of 11512958 and 11512963.
A 2nd flexible brake line blew out and I lost my brakes for the 2nd time within a couple months.

Leaking brake hose left front
I was driving in a parking lot when it was snowing and the traction control and anti lock brakes went out. Due to that, the car locked up and I hit a curb. My tie rod is bent now on the passenger side of the cat.
My parking brake, ABS, and Traction Control (ESC) warning lights all illuminate even when not engaged (Parking Brake states engaged even while driving.) Traction Control (ESC) on/off indicators illuminate opposite of engagement/unengagement (no correlation between.) Identical symptoms from the federal safety agency recall #16V733000. My car was manufactured right during that timeframe when my make/model/year were deemed loaded with improper ABS/ESC computer software. I brought it into Ford repeatedly and it was incorrectly diagnosed as a faulty E-Brake switch, only to give me my vehicle back and E-Brake could not be unengaged while they returned me the keys in the lot. They looked at it again and stated my ABS Module was broken causing my parking brake actuators to now be faulty resulting in my rear rotors to be worn down to unsafe driving levels. The best reason they could give me for a faulty ABS Module was "lightning strike." I called Ford Customer Care and asked if my car was overlooked in this recall before sold to me and they originally said it was (told me it was manufactured in Ontario,Canada) but then called back to tell me it wasn't one of the vehicles affected. I am deafly afraid that my braking system will fail as I am driving.
The contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph when attempting to apply the brakes, however, the brakes were spongy then floored. The contact was able to coast to the nearest mechanic who diagnosed that the front brake line had fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact then stated that while there daughter was driving she experienced the same failure. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic a second time who diagnosed that the rear passenger brake line had fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and informed the contact that in order to be included in the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 20V469000 (Service Brakes, Service Brakes, Hydraulic) they had to report to the federal safety agency and that there were no recalls regarding the rear brakes. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000.
Driving home after dropping my kids off to school slowing down for a red light, all of a sudden the brake pedal goes limp, car barely responds afterwards... I start pumping the pedal like crazy and yanking the E brake lever and barely stop before hitting someone... Car has been in the dealership (North Central Ford in Richardson, TX) 2 or 3 times since 2020; one for a transmission bushing recall I believe, and brake line was NEVER mentioned. They showed each instance for service in their system to me on their monitor, and showed that it never appeared to the service techs for them to inform me of the recall. They said they didn't know why it wouldn't show up. Ford really dropped the ball here, the only thing that saved me was quick thinking on the e-brake.
front brake hose (driver side) is heavily leaking brake fluid. the recall for the issue does not show on my VIN when I search it. also the brake hose was never fixed and it still the old part on it

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 20V469000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer and several unknown dealers were contacted. The contact later received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 22V413000 (Power Train) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
The electronic emergency/parking brake has failed/malfunctioned. After searching online, I discovered that other people have the same issue. As I recall, at least one of the posters said that a Ford technician told them that the wiring harness was made too short and the wires rub on the frame and fray causing an electrical short which renders the emergency brake useless. This appears to be a manufacturer's defect, in my opinion.
My brakes began leaking. I noticed this when the pedal sank to the floor during a prolonged deceleration and I had to pump the brakes to successfully stop the car. No warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms appeared prior to the soft brake pedal. I took the vehicle to a local dealer (Priority Ford in Norfolk VA, see invoice for phone and address), who diagnosed it as leaking rear brake lines and replaced two lines. My safety and the safety of others was certainly put at risk. The reason I knew how to recognize and respond to the brake leak was that it has happened to me before -- my 2016 Ford Edge had a front brake line fail earlier, prior to Ford issuing a safety recall for front brake line leaks. Now my rear brake lines have failed... I suspect it warrants a similar safety recall.

5 days after front brake hose replacement due to rupture and subsequent replacement by Petrus Ford in Stuttgart, AR after finding out about recall, rear passenger side brake hose ruptured.
Unable to get parts/repair for the federal safety agency Safety Recall 20V‑469 - since May 2021. Even tried calling the Ford Customer Relationship Center and was placed on hold for 30 min and then it disconnected. I would like for the part to be shipped directly to Long Lewis Ford of Hoover, AL in c/o of my name and vehicle, so they will call me when it arrives and I can come in to get replaced. Every time I call they don't have parts, as they only get a few at a time and are already spoken for. I am frustrated to keep calling and taking time to get this safety recall fixed on my own behalf. I would appreciate your help. Thank you.
Brake pedal went straight to floor and no brakes. The emergency brake did not work either. Fluid near right rear wheel.
