Description of the problem | I purchased the 2010 edge from my mother in 12/ 2018 when she purchased an escape. 1. 5 years later, in mile 99,800, i had a problem with my brakes. I was coming to a stop at the end of the street onto a major road at the exit of my neighborhood. Going down a hill, i always go slowly to allow myself proper braking time, as it is a very steep hill onto a major and very busy road. I experienced a lack of brakes. I stood on them as hard as i could, and it barely slowed me down enough to prevent me from going into oncoming traffic. After i recovered my heart rate, i turned around and went home. I then brought the car to my local mechanic, he told me he was uncomfortable working on it, as he discovered an issue with this according to ford. I then brought it to a local ford dealership, as the ford dealership my dad purchased the car from and all the service was done at was, was on the highway, 40 minutes away. A dangerous commute due to the intermittent lack of brakes. The bulletin/extended warranty is 13n02 |
