2007 Ford Edge Brakes Problems

Brake pedal is very hard to press, there is a hissing noise sometimes it may sound like a whistle inside the car from the brakes. Took car to mechanic & was advised the brake power booster is bad & that there is a recall on it, however for some reason my car is not included in this recall.........why?

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed but failed to stop the vehicle. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact had to pump the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The contact was able to continue driving to his destination. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the brake booster to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 69,000.

When braking, the brake petal is hard to push. I traveled about 10 miles the other day and it happened about 20 times so now I'm trying not to drive until Friday when my shop can check the brakes and if I do have to drive I will stay great distance behind other vehicles. The mechanic said it sounds like brake booster problem. I checked online and found that other Ford Edge vehicles are having this problem, but there is no recall.

WHEN I PRESS THE BREAKS TO STOP, IT IS HARD TO PRESS, LIKE I'M PUSHING AGAINST AIR AND ON A COMPLETE STOP IT CONTINUES TO MOVE IN MOTION. (THE BREAKS DON'T STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN STATIONARY. IT STARTED 2 DAYS AGO AND I'M SCARED BECAUSE I HAD MY NIECE IN THE CAR AND I ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD WHERE AN INCOMING CAR WAS GOING TO HIT ME STRAIGHT ON MY LEFT. IF I BREAK IT ALSO JUMPS THE CAR LIKE IF I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND. IT'S VERY ROUGH.

WHEN MAKING A STOP OR ALREADY STOPPED, THE BRAKE PEDAL GETS VERY HARD TO PUSH. WHEN HITTING THE GAS THERE IS SOME RESISTANCE. I NOTICE THE BRAKE PEDAL GETS STUCK. IN ORDER TO UNSTICK IT, I HAVE TO PUT MY FOOT UNDER THE BREAK TO POP IT UP.

Front passenger side brake caliper keeps going bad. We have replaced it 3 different times. No trouble out of driver side only passenger.

The booster went out needs replaced and on other sites it said it is recalled

I JUST HAD NEW BRAKES PUT ON MY CAR. A FEW DAYS AFTER THE BRAKES WERE VERY SPONGY AND FELT LIKE THEY WOULD NOT WORK. THEY ALSO MADE A LOUD HIGH PITCHED NOISE. MY MECHANIC LOOKED MY CAR OVER AND SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTERS.

THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE

WHILE I WAS OUT DRIVING TO GET MY INSPECTION DONE MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP THE BRAKES WERE VERY HARD TO PUSH LIKE I WAS STANDING UP ON IT SO I'VE WENT TO GO GET THE BRAKES REPLACE BEFORE THE INSPECTION AND THE BRAKES WERE STILL HARD TO PUSH THAT'S WHEN THE MACHANIC HAD TRIED AND INFORMED ME THAT IT'S NOT THE BRAKES AND MY CAR IS UNABLE TO STOP EVEN DRIVING AT A VERY LOW SPEED MY CAR WAS CLOSE TO OVER TURNING DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP WITH NEW BREAKS THAT'S WHEN I WAS INFORMED IT'S THE BREAK BOOSTER

BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE (IN MOTION), IN INVESTIGATING RECALLS ON BRAKE BOOSTERS, FOUND FORD EDGE FROM 2010 TO 2013 HAS RECALL.

ONE DAY ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN DEPRESSED THE BRAKES HEARD A AIR LIKE SOUND FROM THE UNDER DASH, WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE HAD A STOPPING INSTANTLY AND THEN RELEASE LIKE I COULDN'T STOP THE VEHICLE.REALLY I PANIC CAUSE I COULDN'T STOP..SO I HAD MY HUSBAND TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER GONE BAD..IT COST ME A LOT OF MONEY, SO I ASKED WAS THERE A RECALL THEY SAD NO..I HAVE HAD OTHER PEOPLES THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR FORD EDGE. *TR

I HAVE MY CAR IN THE SHOP GETTING BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED AT $900, FORD HAS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N02 THAT COVERS NEWER CARS. LOOKING ON-LINE THIS ISSUE IS PREVALENT AND I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AS A RECALL, NO BRAKES. ALTHOUGH NEARLY COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES ONLY HAPPENED RECENTLY I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE MAY HAVE BEEN BUILDING FOR YEARS. I ALWAYS NOTICED OTHER VEHICLES HAD (TO ME) MUCH TOUCHIER BRAKES. I NOW BELIEVE THAT THE OTHER VEHICLES WEREN'T TOUCHIER, IT WAS MY CAR THAT HAD LOW BRAKING. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING IT SEEMS THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ISSUE YEARS AGO BUT YET IT'S ANOTHER COVER UP BY A CAR MANUFACTURER.

MY BRAKES ACT LIKE THEY ARE STUCK A LOCAL MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS MY BRAKE BOOSTER I TRIED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THEY WOULD NOT WORK I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, BUT FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKES RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION AFTER THREE TO FIVE SECONDS. THE DEALER (GABRIEL/JORDAN FORD, 2400 U S HIGHWAY 59 S, LIVINGSTON, TX 77351, (936)327-4327) WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

BRAKE BOOSTER LEAKAGE, ON THE HIGHWAY THE BRAKES ACTUALLY WAS SO HARD TO DEPRESS WHEN COMING UP UPON A VEHICLE AT THE LIGHT I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO GET IT TOO STOP,,,,,,SO FINALLY THE BRAKES GRABBED STOPPING THE VEHICLE IN A SUDDEN STOP. THE BRAKE PADEL WENT TO THE FLOOR MAKING A WHISPERING SOUND.

WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROADWAY, I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP AND HAD TO APPLY EXTREME PRESSURE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN AND COME TO A DEAD STOP. MY 105 LB. DAUGHTER COULD NOT HAVE STOPPED THIS VEHICLE IN TIME AND WOULD HAVE CRASHED. I DROVE SLOWLY TO MY REPAIR SHOP, WHERE THE MECHANIC CHECKED THE BRAKES AND ADVISED ME THAT THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE ADVISED ME TO REPORT THIS SERIOUS AND POSSIBLY DEADLY PROBLEM TO FORD AND THE FEDERAL SAFETY BOARD.

I HAVE A 2007 FORD EDGE SEL I JUST BOUGHT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND NOW I HAVE 2 DIFFERENT RECALLS ON PLUS A BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUES WITH 2 SENSORS. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC TO MAKE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF FORD EDGES WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE NO BRAKES TO STOP DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND ALL THREE HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
