2009 Ford Edge

THE BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON EVERY FORD EDGE FROM 2007 - 2013 STARTED MAKING A HISS OR LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKES. FOR THIS 6 YEAR FORD HAS INSTALLED THE EXACT SAME MANUFACTURERS PART, BUT FORD HAS ONLY RECALLED SOME OF THESE YEARS DESPITE THE SAME ISSUES OCCURRING WITH EVERY MODEL YEAR. AFTER A WHILE THE NOISE INTENSIFIED AND THEN THE BRAKES FAILED!!! SOMETIMES THE BRAKES WOULD NOT ENGAGE UNTIL THE PEDAL WAS MASHED TO THE FLOOR, SOMETIMES THEY ENGAGED AS SOON AS THE PEDAL WAS PRESSED. THIS CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. I OWN 3 DIFFERENT MODEL FORD VEHICLES, BUT THIS COULD BE THE LAST FORD I PURCHASE. I TOOK THE EDGE INTO A BRAKE SPECIALIST AND WAS TOLD ABOUT THIS BEING A WELL KNOWN ISSUE ON THE FORD EDGE, BUT THAT I PURCHASED THE "WRONG" YEAR 2009 AND THIS IS THE ONLY MODEL YEAR NOT COVERED UNDER THE NHTSA RECALL. THEY HAVE QUOTED ME $925 TO MAKE THE REPAIRS. WHILE I WILL DO THIS REPAIR SINCE I WILL NOT PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED BY FORD'S CORPORATE NEGLIGENCE ON THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, BUT WAS STIFF AND FAILED TO RESPOND. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED MOORESVILLE FORD MERCURY (139-151 EAST PLAZA DR, MOORESVILLE, NC 28115, (877) 449-4390) AND WAS INFORMED TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD EDGE. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE (13N02) FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER, ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

I HAVE SEARCH THE INTERNET AND THERE IS A LARGE REPORTS OF A POWER BOOSTER FAILURE IN CERTAIN YEARS OF THIS FORD MODEL. I SEARCHED MY VIN # AND IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH I READ FROM OTHERS THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE THAT I'M HAVING NOW. THE BRAKE PEDDLE AT TIMES IS TOUGH TO PRESS, LIKE NO PLAY IN IT WHILE I AM TRYING TO STOP IT IS DIFFICULT. I HAVE TO PUMP THE PEDDLE TO GET IT TO WORK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE READ MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME EXPERIENCE.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2009 FORD EDGE WITH UNDER 46,000 MILES, THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS A SPONGY FEEL AND IT BECOMES QUITE DIFFICULT TO USE THE BRAKE AT TIMES. IT ALSO MAKES A HISSY OR SQUEALING NOISE. AT TIMES IS VERY, VERY HARD TO PRESS THE BRAKE DOWN TO STOP THE CAR. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIRMAN. HE SAID THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS BAD. IT HAD FAILED. MY HUSBAND TALKED WITH AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR PERSON. HE SAID I HAD A BAD BRAKE BOOSTER. MY HUSBAND CALLED THE FORD DEALER AND AFTER RUNNING THE VIN NUMBER, HE WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY FOR A RECALL. THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAS FAILED. THE CAR HAS UNDER 46,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE IT SCHEDULED TO BE REPAIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE AS THIS IS A DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION. WHY DID FORD HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THE 2007-2008 AND 2010-2015 EDGE MODELS BUT OMITTED THE 2009 MODELS?
