Brake Booster Failure. $947.45 to repair out of pocket expense. Thank God I was not injured or killed, nor was anyone else, or property damaged, as I was able to avoid a collision. There is a class action lawsuit over this defective Ford part.

When engaging brake pedal becomes very hard to push and having to push pedal all the way to the floor where it slows finally and then stops. It does not stop when push the brake pedal like normal. Pedal at the floor still not stopping then finally stops but by that time I could have ran into another car or through at stop light. I almost hit someone because of this.

I HAVE A 2009 FORD EDGE SEL WITH 113,300 MILES. I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING BRAKE ISSUES WITH SQUEAKING AND HAVING TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN ALL THE WAY WITH FEAR THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS OR WARNING LIGHTS AND JUST CAME OUT OF THE BLUE. IT WOULD HAPPEN WHETHER I WAS JUST DRIVING SLOW OR FASTER ON ANY TYPE OF ROAD OR WEATHER CONDITION. I SAW FORD PUT AN EXTRA WARRANTY ON EDGES FROM 2010-2013 REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE VIA 13N02. I HAVE READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FROM YEARS PREVIOUS AND AFTER THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AS I HAVE A YOUNG SON WHO I DRIVE TO SCHOOL A LOT AND SINCE THERE WAS NO WARNING ABOUT BRAKE FAILURE I'M JUST THANKFUL NOTHING BAD HAPPENED. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE MASTER CYLINDER AND A BAD POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. THANK YOU.
