TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT STIFF WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT RELEASED THE PEDAL AND DEPRESSED IT AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE BRAKES MADE A HISSING SOUND WHEN ENGAGED AND THE PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD IN ORDER TO FUNCTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,334.

IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

1 WEEK AGO NOTICED A HISSING SOUND COMING FROM WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE BREAK PEDAL AREA WHILE APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE PEDAL AND ALSO WHILE TOTALLY ENGAGED AND VEHICLE IS AT A COMPLETE STOP. YESTERDAY THE BREAK PEDAL HAS BECOME VERY HARD TO PRESS AND BREAK POWER IS VERY POOR AND HESITANT. ALSO HISSING STILL EXIST. THINKING MAYBE BREAK BOOSTER FAILURE OR VACUUM FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO STOP. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LINES NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

WHILE DRIVE ALONG WITH NORMAL FLOW OF TRAFFIC, I CAME TO A WELL KNOWN STOP SIGN APPROACHING ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP, THE VEHICLE DIDN'T HAVE ANY BRAKES AND DID NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AND THERE WAS A LOUD WHOOSHING SOUND. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO USE THE BRAKE PEDAL AS I USUALLY DO, THE SAME THING KEPT HAPPENING. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT RATE OF SPEED OR ROAD CONDITIONS. IT IS A CLEAR SUNNY DAY. THE BRAKES SUDDENLY WENT OUT.

BRAKES STARTED MAKING A VERY LOUD "HISSING" SOUND AND OCCASIONALLY FELT LIKE THE PEDAL WOULDN'T DEPRESS. HAD THE CAR INSPECTED AT DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE BRAKES WERE FINE. TODAY (MONTH LATER) THE BRAKES STILL MAKE THE "HISSING" SOUND AND THE BRAKE WON'T DEPRESS WITHOUT REALLY STEPPING ON IT HARD. IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR WILL NOT STOP. I DRIVE MY KIDS IN THIS CAR AND IT TERRIFIES ME - THIS IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM THAT CAN LEAD TO FATAL RESULTS. I AM SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE BRAKE BOOSTER, WHICH IS THE PROBLEM; GIVEN THE INCIDENTS WITH GM AND TOYOTA I AM SHOCKED FORD HAS MADE NO EFFORT TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOW NOT SURE I WILL PURCHASE A FORD AGAIN IN THE FUTURE IF I CAN'T TRUST THEY WILL ISSUE NECESSARY SAFETY RECALLS.

A LOUD "HISSING" NOISE CAN BE HEARD WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. BRAKES FEEL "SPONGEY" AND REQUIRE CONSIDERABLE EFFORT TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A FULL STOP. I TOOK THE CAR INTO TIRE KINGDOM FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WAS TOLD THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE NEEDED REPLACED. THIS WAS COMPLETED ONLY TO FIND IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE MANAGER CONTACTED FORD AND WAS ADVISED THERE IS A RECALL ON THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER FOR THE MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE. I CONTACTED FORD TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED. WHEN I QUESTIONED FURTHER I WAS ADVISED THE RECALL ONLY COVERS "SOME" OF THE CARS ASSEMBLED AT THE OAKVILLE PLANT WITH MY MAKE, MODEL , AND YEAR AND THAT THEY COULD NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS FAULTY EQUIPMENT.
