desertedge Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hi I got a 2012 Edge Ltd, done 8500 miles. Yesterday I noticed that I had to apply greater pressure for the car to brake. Today while driving, the car has NO BRAKES whatsoever, the pedal is completely numb. I was lucky to escape a collision and went for an open space and pressed parking brake. I was with my family and 2 year old son so it was a scary episode. Today Friday is weekend in Dubai and tomorrow I will ask the dealer to collect the car. Is there any known issues with Edges completely loosing all braking power, any callbacks or service bulletins? Thanks for any information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Wow, glad you & family are ok! Haven't heard of any such drastic brake issues with the Edge. More like slowly decreasing effectiveness & such. Could be a leaky brake line (or even master cylinder); that would, especially on a hard stop, cause the type of problem you had. I would check the brake fluid level to confirm this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertedge Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Well went down to the dealer today and it seems there is a problem with the brake booster causing loss of brakes.. I tried to get more info around it but they where reluctant to talk about it but claimed an "upgraded part" is been shipped in VVVIP fast from the US to Dubai so obviously they are aware of the problem but refused to comment any further on the subject. No one got killed yesterday but maybe that's what it takes for FORD to admit there is a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 desert, did your Edge make a noise akin to a teapot whistle when the brakes were applied? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
