  1. Has anyone found a solution to this stalling problem. My 07 had this problem once or twice a couple of months after I bought it in 07. The dealer never found a problem. Then it was fine until recently. Now it is stalling intermittently.
  2. Yep, I bought that manual and it describes how to test the booster and how to remove it. Unfortunately, it does not tell me what I have to remove to get to the booster. I refuse to spend $750 for this repair. I have spent many hours wrenching on my 10 year old bimmer and 10 year old saturn before that so I don't have a problem getting my hands dirty. But on my bimmer and saturn, I always had a bunch of instructions on what I need to do. I just can't find out much for my edge.
  3. Anyone replaced a brake booster by themselves. I started having problems a couple of weeks ago on my 07 Edge (way past warranty). I have a very stiff pedal and hissing from the booster. I want to try and get to the booster to see if the vacuum hose is ok or if I see any fluid indicating a leaky master cylinder. It looks like I need to take the battery and battery tray out just to even see the booster. What else do I need to do to get to the booster? I bought the $10 shop manual that another thread referenced and it describes how to take the brake booster off, but it does not describe the procedure to get to the booster. I also looked around for a Chiltons or Haynes manual but it does not look like one exists for the Edge.
  4. Yes, cheaper OEM parts. I have a 10 year old BMW that I work on all the time and know multiple online OEM part stores. But this is the first time I will need to work on my Edge now that it is out of warranty. Unfortunately tascaparts does not seem to carry the brake booster for the 07 - 10 Edge. I requested a price quote.
  5. My brake booster seems to have gone bad on my 2007 Edge SE. Symptoms are a very stiff pedal and hissing when depressing the pedal. Does anyone have a recommendation for an aftermarket part shop? I'd like to avoid paying for the dealer's price if I can.
