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.

THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THEM OFF WAS TO PULL THEM DOWN AND UNPLUG THEM. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH NUMEROUS FORD EDGE'S AND FORD SHOULD RECTIFY IT.

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.
