2012 Ford Edge

I have replaced my front brakes at least 3 times, something is wrong with the brakes on these cars. Started off fine then after 50,000 miles I've changed them almost once a year. Never have had a Ford that I've had to replace brakes so much. Love the car just the little things are hard to handle. Take my car in again this year for front brakes again. Really??? I have just over 90,000 on the car and every 15,000 to do brakes again is unbelievable.

Rear view or back up camera monitor and animation not connecting or staying connected to load back up camera image

My car skids when I try to stop the car(car breaking). This happening a couple of times during the past 2 or 3 days. My car mechanic just did a diagnostic and found out that the ABS Sensor module and electrohydraulic has system failure and needs replacement, but parts aren't available where I live (Puerto Rico). This is surely a matter of security I will appreciate if you can help us to find the parts need to fix this issue.

The contact's father owns a 2012 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while shifted into reverse(R), the rearview image was frozen, or the screen was blank. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The vehicle had been taken to an independent mechanic and was advised that the vehicle needed to be taken to a dealer. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed, and it was determined that the rearview camera system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The contact researched online and associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V572000 (Back Over Prevention); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

Shift to park message, not showing it is in park. Can only crank the car if you turn the key halfway and then shift to neutral to crank it. Once you put it back in park and set the emergency brake you can only crank it by repeating the process of Neutral cranking. Car will roll away without brake set. Driving is a concern as I am afraid it might pop into another gear. My year 2012 is not in the recall that effects 2015-2018 models but it's the exact same issue.

My airbags randomly deployed while I was driving.

Loss of rearview image from backup camera. Intermittent blank, distorted, or inverted image when in reverse. Sometimes says "loss of signal". This reduces the driver’s view of the area behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a backover crash. My 2012 Ford Edge is experiencing the same issues mentioned in 25V572 for the 2015-2018 Ford Edge.

Ford Edge 2012 Limited 2.0L [XXX] The brake pedal went all the way to the floor while my wife was driving a few times. The brakes DID NOT STOP OR SLOW THE CAR AT ALL! She pumped the brake pedal and braking came back. But, after that we could not trust the brake system. We paid AutoNation Ford in Fort Worth, Texas $2,694.45 on 10/11/2023 to replace the ABS system, after their recommendation that this will fix the problem. This did fix the problem until recently this past week on 9/21/2025, when the brake pedal went to the floor without any braking, just continued to move forward in our driveway. The next push on the brake pedal did provide braking but now seems a little soft. My wife’s sister also has a Ford Edge with similar or the same symptoms, a 2013 Edge. My daughter has a 2012 Ford Fusion with similar or the same symptoms. This is a very dangerous SAFETY PROBLEM with these Ford cars! I suspect that this problem is more widespread than just my family, more Ford Edge vehicles with this ABS problem. A Ford Edge ABS RECALL might be required to help Ford customers be safe!

The first incident occurred in GA on vacation in June. While my spouse was driving, he said the brakes seemed squishy and were not right. When he braked to stop the car to get gas, his foot went almost to the floor. After getting gas, I drove and they did not seem right. The second incident happened the beginning of August and I was coming down a relatively steep hill. I went to brake and my foot went all the way to the floor and did not completely stop. I took the car to my mechanic and he wasn't sure of the problem, and to another mechanic. The 2nd thought it was the brake booster. I then took it to the Ford dealership where I bought it last August and had them look at it. They said it is the ABS module and that I am #829 on the list of 1300 people that need that part, that Ford has no idea when it will be available. The third incident was last Sat, [XXX] and I had No Brakes At All, so I had to take my husband's car to work. In All the incidents, I was at risk, as well as my family and the people driving in front & back of me. I have also had issues of the AC coming in for NO Reason, and after I turn it down, it turns itself back on at full blast. This car is NOT SAFE.

Regarding the three Ford vehicles in my possession, each with approximately 80,000 miles, I've observed consistent issues with the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) module. Despite my inquiry with a Ford dealership, no recall has been issued for these vehicles, and the ABS module is reportedly unavailable for repair. Given the apparent prevalence of this issue, I am concerned about the potential impact on vehicle performance during critical events. Furthermore, I am seeking clarification from Ford representatives regarding the lack of a resolution for this recurring problem across multiple vehicles.

BRAKE PEDAL HITTING THE FLOOR : ISSUE COMES AND GOES VERY RARELY . FIRST COMPLAIN REPORTED ON APRIL 2014: BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED ON WARRANTY. LAST COMPLAIN REPORTED TO ORIGINAL CAR DEALER: COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE ISSUE. IN BETWEEN THESE TWO DATES, BRAKE BOOSTER HAS BEEN REPLACED RECENTLY. ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT MAY CAUSE THE BRAKE FAILURE, NO ABS LIGHT YET. FORD HONORED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON BRAKE POWER BOOSTER IN 2020. PERFORMING A FEW REPEATED SUDDEN STOPS AT CERTAIN SPEED GETS THE BRAKES TO HOW IT SHOULD BE. NO ACCIDENT EVER INVOLVED.

The ABS system is completely shot. I have replaced the entire brake system besides the ABS. There is a recall on the ABS System for other 2012 Ford Edges, but for some reason my vehicle isn’t included. Please consider including my car in the recall as this is a serious safety issue. I cannot even drive the car, because i am not able to brake properly.
