I had my booster replaced under (extended) warranty this week. Pedal was spongy and I had to pump the pedal before. Now it's firmer and I don't see it loosing vacuum after setting.

 

You may still have a leak in a connection or hose somewhere.

 

Honda is known for a"soft" pedal. Of the Honda's I've owned I always hated the brakes.

Hi Enigma-2

Have you tried to park your edge for at least 2 days and then try the pedal out? If park it overnight i still have a soft pedal in the morning. But if I leave it for more than a day then the vacuum is completely gone - a rock hard pedal.

However, my pedal during driving feels great, very firm and responsive.

It bugs me a lot as my accord was parked in the garage all week long and i went to start the car, the vacuum is still there.

I don't know if it is a ford thing or i have a leaking hose on my edge sport.

That sounds normal for my 2011 mix.

So your pedal is hard in the morning after parking it for a day?

Hi Guys

I have a 2011 edge sport.

I kind of feel the brake had some issues because it felt spongy and very soft so I recently took my car to the dealership and had a brake booster replaced under warranty.

Right now the brake feels normal. However, the new booster still won't hold vacuum for very long. It seems to lose vacuum slowly overtime.

If i drive it to work and park it for 8 hours, the pedal is still soft after work. But If i park it in my garage for like a day, the brake is hard when i try to start up the car.

I also have a Honda accord, I can park it in my garage for 1 week and the brake pedal is still soft when i step on it.

I'm just wondering are you guys all experiencing the same or this is just me?

Under normal circumstances, how long should the brake booster hold its vacuum?
