Description of the problem | My car has approximately 90,000 miles. After a trip we began to notice the brake pedal was very hard on the initial touch, like pushing against a brick wall. Very frightening. Brakes did slow the car down, but not as quick or responsive as when the pedal is working properly. When pushed very hard, the pedal finally moves forward toward the floor in a somewhat normal manner, but mushy. A hissing sound is also heard when applying the brakes. When i took the car to the local dealer i was told that ford had just released a new extended warranty and free repair for this problem concerning the brake booster, a tear, and beginning with ford edge's built in 2010. When my vin was checked, i was then told my car did not fall within the dates for the program. My car was manufactured on april 27 2010 and the program begins for cars manufactured on may 3, 2010. When my dealer called ford he was told that nothing could be done; my car had missed the date by 6 days. If you are experiencing this similar problem, please report it so that enough complaints can be recorded that ford will be required to do something about it, for all cars that are experiencing this problem, not just those manufactured after some random date selected by ford. If the issue is with the part, then all defective parts should qualify. I hope it does not take a death before ford takes care of this problem. I have no choice but to have the defective part replaced, or park the car. I have driven a ford for most of my life, but things like this are reasons why i am considering changing manufacturers. See 13n02 brake booster warranty extension 2010 - 2013 edge and mkx. |
