What 1,129 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Ford Edge

THERE IS A PARTIAL RECALL ON THESE MODEL FORD EDGE'S. WHERE THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER ARE DEFECTIVE AND CAUSE THE BRAKES TO FILL WITH AIR AND LOSE PARTIAL AND SOMETIMES TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING POWER. THIS HAPPENED TO MY 2012 FORD EDGE SPORT. I BOUGHT NEW FACTORY PARTS AND HAD THEM INSTALLED BY A PROFESSIONAL. THEY WENT OUT AGAIN. IT HAD TO DO WITH HE FACTORY OF THE PARTS. PLEASE PLACE A MASS RECALL ON THIS PART. MY WIFE AND KIDS SHOULDN'T GET INTO A WRECK DUE TO BRAKES GOING OUT AGAIN. THEY ALREADY HAVE TOTALLY GONE OUT TWICE. THE 2ND TIME MY WIFE WITH DAUGHTER AND MY SON IN THE CAR COULDNT SLOW DOWN IN TIME AND GOT INTO A FENDER BENDER. IT WASN'T SERIOUS. THIS TIME. THANK YOU. ALSO, ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN NOTED BY THOUSANDS OF FORD EDGE OWNERS IS THE STYLE OF FUEL DOOR. IT DOESN'T SEAL PROPERLY WHICH IN RETURN CAUSES A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO APPEAR ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AS SELL. THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WE NOTICED A GAS SMELL COMING THROUGH THE AIR CONDITIONER. WHEN WE STOPPED ON AN OFF RAMP, SMOKE STARTED TO COME THROUGH THE AIR CONDITIONING VENT. WE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND EVACUATED. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THERE IS A RECALL ON FILE THAT AFFECTS THE FUEL LINES BUT IT SAYS FORD CLAIMS THAT OUR VIN ISN'T INCLUDED IN THAT BATCH. *TR
