MY 2007 FORD EDGE BEGAN TO HAVE ERRATIC BRAKING. THE PEDAL WOULD GO ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKING WAS VERY POOR DURING THOSE TIMES. AT OTHER TIMES THE PEDAL BECAME ALMOST ROCK HARD AND COULD HARDLY BE PRESSED AND LITTLE OR NO BRAKING OCCURRED. THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY DURING EXITING THE FREEWAY AND I HAD TO LET OFF AND PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL AND WAS ABLE TO STOP. VERY DISCONCERTING AND THE PROBLEM WAS GETTING WORSE SO TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM WAS A LEAKING BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH REQUIRED $400 TO REPLACE. MY CAR HAD 3.5 YEARS OF SERVICE AND ABOUT 53,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE DRIVEN FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND NEVER HAD A BRAKE BOOSTER GO OUT. I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT FORD APPARENTLY DOES NOT. *TR

CAR STOPPED RUNNING AS MY WIFE,DAUGHTER,AND MYSELF WERE ON OUR WAY HOME. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE HWY. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE CAR RESTARTED AND WE CONTINUED HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND LEFT IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THE SERVICE REP. I SPOKE WITH SAID THEY COULD FIND NO TROUBLE CODE AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I ASKED IF HE HAD SPOKEN WITH FORD ENGINEERING ABOUT THIS AND HE SAID NO. I ASKED HIM TO AND HE SAID HE WOULD. HE CALLED FORD ENGINEERING AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NO SOLUTION AND DENIED A PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD TO RETURN MY LOANER CAR. I DID SO .A DIFFERENT SERVICE REP. WAITED ON ME THIS TIME.WHEN HE BROUGHT ME THE CAR HE ASKED IF MY PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND I SAID NO .HE ASKED ME THE PROBLEM AND I TOLD HIM.HE THEN TOLD ME THAT HE HAD A LADY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HER CAR,A 2012 FORD EDGE. HE CONTACTED FORD AND THEY TOLD HIM TO CHANGE PROGRAMMING. THEY DID THIS TWO TIMES AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTED.SHE THEN TRADED THE CAR WITH 32000 MI. ON IT FOR A NEW VEHICLE. I TALKED WITH SEVERAL FORD REPS AND FOR THE MOST PART SEEMED UNCONCERNED. I EXPRESSED MY SAFETY CONCERNS TO THEM TO NO AVAIL. I WAS TREATED AS COLLATERAL DAMAGE. *TR
