BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN PUBLICIZED NOTICES, INCLUDING ON THIS WEBSITE, ARE WHAT I AM CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING ON MY FORD EDGE. CAR TAKES LONGER TO STOP AND BRAKING SYSTEM FEELS SOFT. ADDITIONALLY, THE ADVANCETRAC WARNING SYSTEM LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON OCCASION WHEN CAR IS IN PARK FOR 10-20 MINUTES WITHOUT MOVING, WITH ENGINE RUNNING. PER THE FORD FORUM, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE A SOLUTION FROM FORD. I HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE THE FORD IS INTERESTED OR ABLE TO REMEDY EITHER OF THESE ISSUES. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW THAT BRAKING ISSUE STARTED TODAY.

2017 Ford Edge Tampa, FL

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY 2017 SILVER FORD EDGE, BECAUSE ON 5/8/2020 THE ENGINE ICON CAME UP ON MY DASH. SO I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AT THE LOCAL JARETT FORD DEALERSHIP IN LAKELAND, FL, THINKING IT JUST NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. AFTER I GOT THIS DONE, THE ENGINE ICON NEVER WENT AND I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE MY VEHICLE SHAKING AND IT ALSO BEGAN HEATING UP. THIS HAPPENED IN 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, WITH A RED WARNING MESSAGE ON MY DASH OF THE PRECAUTION I SHOULD TAKE TO AVOID OVERHEATING. EACH TIME I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE VEHICLE, WAITED FOR IT TO COOL DOWN, AND ADDED COOLANT TO THE RADIATOR COOLANT TANK. I WENT TO ELDER FORD OF TAMPA, FL, WHERE I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER, TERRY WAS COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS AS TO WHO NHTSA IS AS WELL AS NO IDEA OF THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM. AS I WENT TO DRIVE AWAY MY VEHICLE, NOW IT DID NOT WANT TO START. FRANK TRIED TO SEE IF IT WAS A BATTERY ISSUE AND TRIED JUMP STARTING IT BUT IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BATTERY. BY GOD'S MIRACLE MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY TURNED ON AND BY HIS MERCIES I WAS ABLE TO ARRIVE AT MY HOUSE. NOW, I CANNOT GET TO WORK AND ARE STUCK BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE MY WARRANTY IS OVER. I NEED TO KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP ME RESOLVE THIS MATTER THAT IS NOT MY FAULT. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA AS TO WHAT NHTSA IS NOR YOUR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM. I WILL APPRECIATE SOMEONE HELPING ME, OR POINTING ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

2011 Ford Edge at 74,500 miles Sterling Heights, MI

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

MY BRAKING SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING WHILE DRIVING. IT FIRST APPEARED WHEN THE BRAKE BOOSTER WENT BAD ON OR AROUND 2/6/2020 WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF BY FORD AS BEING A KNOWN PROBLEM SO I HAD IT REPLACED. IMMEDIATELY AFTER REPLACING THAT PART ON 2/9/2020 THE BRAKES BEGAN TO ENGAGE AND STAY ENGAGE WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS HAPPENED TWICE AND THE BRAKES WOULD DISENGAGE ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS OFF FOR HOURS. NOW ON MY WAY TO THE DEALER 2/19/2020 MY BRAKES WERE UNRESPONSIVE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOFT AND WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BARELY STOPPING THE VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER WAS DUE TO MY HYDRAULIC CONTROL MODULE GOING BAD. SEEM COINCIDENTAL THAT THIS COINCIDED WITH THE BOOSTER GOING BAD AND NO RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY BEING OFFERED FOR THE KNOWN ISSUE AS I HAVE READ 100S OF COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE ONLINE. THIS IS A TRAGEDY WAITING TO HAPPEN AND FORD DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE.
