BRAKE BOOSTER. I HAVE A 2010 EDGE THAT HAD A RECALL ON THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE FORD WEBSITE LISTED THE RECALL FOR 2010-2013 BUT FOR SOME REASON MY VEHICLE WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL AND I NEED TO KNOW WHY ESPECIALLY WHEN IT STATES THAT FSA VIN LIST WILL NOT BE ACTIVATED FOR THE SERVICE ACTION. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION I WAS PUT IN AND I'M BEING TOLD THAT THE RECALL IS NOT ON MY VIN. MY BRAKES MADE A "HISSING" SOUND WHEN PRESSED AND TO GET THE CAR TO STOP I HAD TO PRESS VERY HARD WITH BOTH FEET. AND THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN OVER TIME. WITHIN A WEEK MY CAR WENT FROM BRAKING NORMALLY TO HAVING TO FIGHT TO STOP MY CAR.

ON 12/11/17 MY BRAKES WERE MAKING A AIR SOUND WHEN I TOUCHED PEDDLE. AT 47,000 MILES I ASSUMED IT WAS TIME TO REPLACE. ON 12/15 I HAD BRAKES REPLACED, BUT WHEN I GOT THE CAR BACK IT STILL HAD THE AIR SOUND. THE BRAKES WORK BUT SOMETIMES THE PEDDLE GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN AND CATCHES AT LAST MINUTE. NOW I'M TOLD FORD EDGE HAS A PROBLEM WITH BRAKE BOOSTERS AND MAIN CYLINDER. THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL YET, BUT I AM SURE PEOPLE DON'T NOTIFY ANYONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE GARAGE JUST SENT ME ON MY WAY KNOWING THE PROBLEM AND ALSO KNOWING THE BRAKES COULD FAIL! I WILL BE TAKING MY VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED FORD DEALER TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO. THIS IS JUST TO INFORM YOU OF THE SERIOUS PROBLEM WHICH COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS OR EVEN DEATHS.

BRAKE BOOSTER HAS FAILED, AND NOW ENGINE WON'T IDLE PROPERLY AND STALLS DUE TO VACUUM LEAK FROM THE BAD BRAKE BOOSTER. I HAD REPORTED SYMPTOMS (HISSING, OCCASIONAL HARD PEDAL, ETC.) DURING SERVICE VISITS WHILE MY "BUMPER TO BUMPER" WARRANTY WAS STILL IN EFFECT, BUT WAS TOLD IT WAS "NOISE FROM THE NEW BRAKE PADS" AND IT JUST NEEDED THE BRAKE FLUID TOPPED OFF. SYMPTOMS PERSISTED, BUT THEN SERVICE BULLETIN 13N02 WAS ANNOUNCED, AND BECAUSE MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE DATES COVERED IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN THE DEALERSHIP HAS STILL REFUSED TO COVER THE COSTS. SO I NOW HAVE A 2010 EDGE THAT IS NOT ONLY HARD TO STOP, BUT ALSO NOW STALLS OUT WHEN IT DOES STOP!
