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.

I WAS SLOWLY DRIVING THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE. I EVENTUALLY CAME TO A STOP. THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT ENGAGING. I KEPT TRYING TO ACCELERATE BUT I WAS UNABLE TO GO ANYWHERE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THEN BACK TO DRIVE AND IT STILL DID NOT WORK. I THEN RESORTED TO TURNING OFF THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. AT THAT POINT THE VEHICLE DID OPERATE AS USUAL. SINCE IT HAPPENED I HAVE READ COUNTLESS REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE IN THIS VEHICLE WITH MANY COMPLAINTS. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY ERROR FROM FORD AND THEIR TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE IT IS RELATED TO THE SENSORS ON THE TRANSMISSION. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THEIR CAR COMES TO A TOTAL STOP ON A BUSY INTERSTATE. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HAS NOT ADDRESSED IT.
