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?

"TAKATA RECALL" - RECALL WAS JUNE 2016 AND KEEP CALLING FORD AND STILL CANNOT FIX IT. THEY CAN BUILD NEW CARS AND MAKE MONEY BUT NOT FIX A VERY BAD PROBLEM OF CARS THEY ALREADY MADE MONEY ON, WHICH IS NOT RIGHT. THEY SHOULD BE HELP ACCOUNTABLE TO DO A FIX THAT'S DANGEROUS THAN BRINGING NEW CARS OFF THEIR ASSEMBLY LINE!!!!

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD ON MARCH 17, 2017 DESCRIBING AN "ISSUE" REGARDING POTENTIAL METAL FRAGMENTS IN THE AIRBAGS. I TRIED TO GET THE AIRBAGS REPLACED IN CLEVELAND, AT LIBERTY FORD. WE MOVED TO HILTON HEAD IN THE SPRING OF 2017 AND I HAVE SINCE TRIED TO GET THE AIRBAGS REPLACED, ON NOVEMBER 6, 2017 AT O.C. WELCH FORD IN HARDEEVILLE, SC. NEITHER DEALERSHIPS WILL REPLACE THE AIRBAGS BECAUSE THEY STATE THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS ARE "NOT AVAILABLE" AND THAT FORD WILL SEND ME A LETTER ADVISING ME WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. PART OF THE PROBLEM MAY BE THAT I DID NOT BUY MY 2009 FORD EDGE AT A DEALERSHIP. I BOUGHT IT WHILE I WAS STATIONED IN LANDSTUHL, GERMANY WITH THE NAVY. I BOUGHT IT THROUGH OVERSEAS MILITARY SALES AND PICKED THE CAR UP AT A DEALERSHIP IN PARMA OH AFTER IT WAS SHIPPED THERE. THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY BEARING ON FORD REPLACING MY AIRBAGS, BUT PERHAPS IT DOES.
