I own a 2014 Ford Edge, when pressing on the brake pedal, it goes all the way to the floor and have to pump the brakes to make sure I don't hit the car a head of me. 5 minutes later it is back to normal. Or when stopped at a red light the brake pedal will all of a sudden go down to the floor. And now when I brake I get a high pitched wind squealing noise. Also the back driver side passenger door will have a door ajar warning on the dash and that comes and goes and could be dangerous for any passenger sitting in that seat.

After a hard braking because of a person in a cross walk. The brake peddle went almost to the floor. Had a mechanic check and he said the brake fluid was full of bubbles so he change the fluid and the brakes were OK so he tested the brakes with a sudden stop and the brakes now go to the floor again.

AUG. 2023 Mileage 89,000 - 2014 Ford Edge SEL FWD - Program 13N02 eligible??? MOST CRITICAL ISSUE: While driving in highway commuter traffic, traffic came to abrupt stop going 65 miles an hour; I depressed brakes almost completely to the floor but car would not stop. Was able to get pulled onto shoulder and get stopped. I sat and slowly pumped the brakes and the pressure on the brakes finally returned. I'm told brake cylinder replacement ONLY will not solve the issue. There aren't any warning lights, brake fluid is normal level, brake pads and rotors in good shape. So there is no reasonable explanation for what happened other than Ford sold me car with faulty brakes. I see no recalls after 2010. Ford needs to replace my brake booster, Master Cylinder and the HCU at Ford expense. Brake pedal and noise while braking - screeching sounds. I took it to a local dealer for analysis, they pressed on the brake several times, and replicated the squeal. Was told it was the brake booster, that there had been issues with it in several of the Ford models. FORD needs to also replace Master Cylinder and the HCU to ensure this doesn't happen again. I thought I was going to die on the freeway when brakes pressed to floorboard would not stop the car. THOUSANDS OF HISTORICAL ISSUES WITH OTHER FORD EDGE: Brake Pedal Sinks To Floor NHTSA Complaint ID: 11343191 Will urgently await Ford response - I only have this one vehicle and need resolved before I loose my life in the vehicle. Thank you in advance for you immediate reply. Susan

I bought this vehicle brand now. The Edge only has 69k miles on it and I have replaced the front and back brakes (rotors, pads, calibers) 3 times (yes...3 times). I also had to recently (in 2023) replace the muffler, left and right outer tierods, left and right front wheel bearings and hubs. NOW: April 2023: my front brakes are pulsating and I brought the vehicle back to my mechanic for a complete vehicle check overall which the mechanic documented: Power steering return line is rotted (cost $175). A/C condenser is leaking and needs to be replaced/recharged (cost $1050). Driveshaft issue/vibration @ 50 mph: need to remove the rear driveshaft and inspect: if needs to be replaced: $4500. Replace Front and Read brake pads/rotors/calibers ($1600)...which would be #4 for replacement. Replacement of right rear parking brake cable ($205). ***I previously wrote a complaint several years ago (for the same VIN#)...this is just an update and I am requesting FORD to review and demand a recall. The 2014 Edge has been a money pit for me and it only has 69k in mileage. If there was a way I could seek reimbursement I would. I will never buy a FORD again.

I am wanting to file a complaint about the safety of my 2014 ford edge. My brakes are very hard to push and get stopped. Even after I am stopped and have my foot on the brake my car still wants to move. I have also experienced where the brake pedal goes to the floor and then the pressure has to build back up before they will work correctly. I have done some searching about this problem and have found that the brake booster goes bad often. I have also found that replacing just the booster does not usually permanently fix the problem. It says that the hydraulic control unit and the brake master cylinder need to be replaced also. How is this not a safety issue and a recall been issued? This is around a $2000.00 fix from what I have read about.

Multiple time the brake pedal has gone to the floor. Pumping them will provide minimal braking power. Took to a Ford dealer ship and they claim the brakes are fine. Charged $160. The brake pedal still goes to the floor periodically.

2014 Ford Edge was purchased in 5/2015 with 6k miles on it. It was a leftover from 2014. There have been constant brake pulsating issues (details below) from the day it was purchased. Rotors have been cut down or replaced every year since the car was purchased. New brake pads have also been required just about every year. The HCU was replaced in 6/2021, which the Ford Dealership admitted was an issue they were seeing with many models however there was no recall ever done. The most recent is an issue with the Brake Booster, which has been confirmed by the dealership. The car is currently at the Ford Dealership. When applying the brakes, the pedal is spongy, and a pulsating is felt in the pedal. This is felt at all speeds but becomes a safety issue at speeds over 30. Braking becomes very hard, and this causes the rotors to heat up and could potentially cause a fatality. Ford recalled 2010-2013 models back in 2014 but only for certain VIN numbers. However, there are customer complaints dating back to 2007. The braking systems on 2007-2014 Ford Edges need to be looked into or there could loss of life.

Had another vehicle in repair with same problem. Recall issued on this issue but didn't cover my vehicle. No advance warning on screen. Internet list many complaints by Edge owners, especially 2011 and 2013. This should be a recall problem and not cost the $1759 that I will have to pay out of pocket.

14V393000 · Power Train:axle Assembly:axle Shaft

Jul 2, 2014

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX vehicles manufactured September 2, 2010, to November 30, 2013; 2013-2014 Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS vehicles manufactured August 25, 2011, to November 30, 2013; and 2013-2014 Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles manufactured September 12, 2011, to November 30, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the halfshaft retention circlip may not have been properly installed, and as a result, the halfshaft may move outward and disengage from the linkshaft while driving and without prior warning.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the halfshaft and linkshaft become disengaged while driving, power will no longer be transmitted to the wheels, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Additionally, if the parking brake is not applied before exiting the vehicle, the vehicle may roll away despite the transmission being placed in 'Park', increasing the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.

Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles to make sure that the halfshaft is properly retained. If it is not, dealers will replace the linkshaft and also replace the halfshaft if it shows evidence of spline damage, free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2014. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14S10.

PE15020 · Wheel Separation

Opened May 20, 2015 · Closed Jan 4, 2016

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Wheels:rim

On November 29, 2014, ODI received a complaint reporting the complete separation of an original equipment 22-inch alloy wheel rim mounted on the right front position of a model year 2014 Ford Edge vehicle (VOQ 10661278).The driver indicated that the right-front corner of the vehicle suddenly dropped while driving, causing the vehicle to go off the road to the right and into a field.The right-front wheel rim was found to have broken into two pieces. The owner said that there was no prior warning or wheel related problems with the vehicle. The vehicle had been driven approximately 8,500 miles at the time of the incident.On May 29, 2015 ODI sent an information request to Ford asking for detailed information related to the specific 22 inch alloy wheel used on the Edge as well as any peer vehicles which used the same type of wheel.On July 17, 2015 Ford provided ODI with the requested information. Ford's search showed that the single incident reported to ODI is the only instance of a wheel failure on the subject or peer vehicles.The failed wheel was sent to the National Transportation Service Board (NTSB) materials analysis laboratory for examination. The NTSB determined that the wheel failed because of a severe impact that caused a crack that rapidly propagated around the circumference of the wheel, The rim fracture surface had a predominantly rough appearance consistent with an overstress fracture (rapid fracture)There were no abnormalities or unique features associated with the fracture initiation site.Metallurgical analysis of the rim found that the material was within specification and no anomalies were identified that could have contributed to the failure.See the full NTSB report for more details.Based on the absence of additional failures and the results of the wheel material testing and failure analysis, this investigation is closed. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist. The Agency will continue to monitor complaints and other information relating to the alleged defect in the subject vehicles and take further action in the future if warranted.The following VOQ is associated with this investigation: 10661278
