So lets start on a good note. I love my ford edge. Its my first ford and has been great...until now.
Now the bad note.Two weeks ago my brakes started acting funky. Alternating between spongy and hard. Spongy when first applied but when traveling slow like in a parking lot got real stiff. I knew my pads and rotors werent the best so I went ahead and replaced them. No change in brake behavior. Took it to firestone because it was the closest place to me to get the brakes diagnosed, called me the next day to tell me the brake calipers were misaligned (replaced the pads and rotors myself) and wanted 200 dollars to realign the calipers and would not test the master cylinder or even the vacuum seals on the power booster until they did so. Told them to pound sand and check the pads myself. Well they were slightly misaligned and I fixed that. Drove it around the subdivision, brakes were real stiff and barely stopped the vehicle. Figured what the hey and bought a master cylinder and brake booster from rock auto. replaced both and bled the brake system. Drove it around the block again, brakes are soft, stop the vehicle better but not like they should peddle returns slowly. My question is, do I still have air in my system or did I get a bad part. I am letting it sit overnight with the brake fluid reservoir cap off and I will bleed the system again in the morning. If that doesnt help I am going to call it a faulty part and try to get a new booster and master cylinder. If that still doesnt help. who wants to see a firework show?? any help is appreciated.
