Brake Booster All of a sudden my brake went to the floor and made a hissing sound, spongy response. Took it to Cowin Ford and they diagnosed and replaced the brake booster. It was really dangerous as response to brake was really slow. I almost hit a car in front of me. No warnings or symptoms prior.

Brake Booster Was exiting the freeway so already slowed but it was a curvy off-ramp, thankfully no one was close and the car was already slowed, but on hazards and coasted home at 5 mph. Huge safety concern Tow truck towed to HTS Automotive to determine the brake booster went out, which we already knew as the same thing happened in 2023! No warnings, no symptoms prior

The throttle body issues again with the burning smell as well the whole car shut down like the other two times I reported on this website! Please note the team who fixed it last time was at Poway Ford and the main manager from auto maintenance was fired due to attempting to correct the issue on my 2011 Ford Edge!

My 2011 Ford Edge stalled on the freeway March 1st 2025. I had purchased the car in 2019, and kept up with regular maintenance. My mechanic tells me its an issue with the "water pump" thats is connected to the timing belt, and that the engine has been flooded? Now I need to replace my engine! I looked into it and it turns out THOUSANDS of others have gone through this too. Someone needs to have this car/engine PULLED off the market. When I purchased it, it was supposed to be a reliable car for my family, now I dont know what I'm going to do because Ford just doesn't care about their customers.

There were three recalls listed on your site that are no longer active which perfectly describe what is going on with my car at the moment we have had major electrical problems with it we have had problems with the tailgate not latching and opening while driving down the road also overheating when stopped at a light all of a sudden the air conditioner starts blowing hot air and it shoots up and overheats while you're idling out of traffic light the electrical system is totally messed up I can't even begin to list everything that has gone wrong with that the lights being turned on when we're not in the car to the no key in car actually going down the road it shut down no key and we were able to get it back on again but for a minute I thought that the car was going to stop moving it seems that this model car has had these issues in the past that recalls have been put out for but nothing is active for it right now and we're experiencing what was going on in those recalls I would appreciate it if you could look into this for me my daughter drives his car to school and she has been stranded several times I don't feel that it's safe for her to drive in this condition please let me know if there's anything you can do to reinstate any of these recalls to Goodwill type extension of these recalls I don't know what to do at this point because all of this is very expensive to fix I am [XXX] she is a student I just want her to be able to drive a car that she's not going to get hurt in or be stranded someplace thank you for taking the time to look at this and I will hope to hear from you again my email is [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

the hazard lights will turn on while driving, and or while the vehicle is parked, thus draining the battery. The button to turn them on and or off is a "pressure sensitive" button which fails from the swelling of heat and or moisture. This is a major issue as the vehicle can't be driven now since the hazards just turn on and off.

head lights go out while driving at night hi or low beam auto or manual it does not make any diff .

THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AJAR INDICATOR LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS KEEPS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON AND DRAINS THE BATTERY AND THE CAR WILL NOT LOCK. THIS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN I HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR AND I CANNOT LOCK THE CAR. ALSO, I WORK AROUND CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES AND IT IS REQUIRED THAT WE KEEP OUR CARS LOCKED. THIS PROBLEM IS REALLY STRESSING ME OUT AND I FEEL FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE. ALSO, MY AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHTS STAY ON CONTINOUSLY WHICH IS ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE. I'M NOT SURE THE AIRBAGS WOULD DEPLOY IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT.
