WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yes. I know I have a problem, but since it still passes Ford's test procedure, I cannot get it fixed now. Have to wait till it gets worse to fail the test. That sux! Take care out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfrankli Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I was glad that I found this Forum. My 2012 Edge Limited had the booster fail. No problem, dealer said covered warranty and replaced the booster. I went to pick up the car and noticed the pedal feel was all wrong. It was going 1/3 down before feeling any boost assist. Dealer said we need to re bleed the brakes. Problem still there. Ford Tech line tells dealer must be bad master also. Problem still there. They have another call in to the Tech Line. I'm thinking the booster is improperly installed. Any thoughts :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Maybe they did not adjust the pedal travel properly? This is one of the steps in brake booster removal "Remove the brake booster push rod pin and clip and disconnect the push rod from the brake pedal".

I'm beginning to regret jumping to the American car Wagon. All my Japanese cars were so much better.

rfrankli Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I forgot to mention the correct term for the ABS is the HCU. I could tell there was a little embarrassment. However, I was pleased they didn't give up and say "Well that's the way it is" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2011edgese Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Alsodid you pay anything out of pocket? Like the brake master did you pay for that? If you did did you just pay for the part or the labor or just the part? I mean anything did you pay for anything or was it all done under warranty and a recall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfrankli Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I didn't pay a dime. My Edge had only 20,000 miles on it so Ford picked up everything :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I was pleased they didn't give up and say "Well that's the way it is" oh boy. You got lucky. I worked I the field for 7 years. And I can tell you if the air in the HCU damaged the expenssive unit, they would have said "sir.. We finally found your problem. HCU is bad. You need to replace it. 3000$ please. " that's to cover their arses. Lol. Luckily it didn't go that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other positive is I never left the lot when I picked up the car the first time I found the problem immediately with out any drive time on it.

I doubt any damage was done by having the air inside the hcu. Since you didn't drive. I would not worry at all. Id worry more on the tranny issue everyone is having.

omar302 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Since the Mazda CX-9 shares the same platform & many components as the Edge/MKX, check out the latest news: http://www.autoblog.com/2014/02/17/mazda-cx-9-braking-nhtsa-probe/ Sound familiar??

Jim McKay Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Just took my Sport in for service because you could not predict braking distance. I got a letter from Ford in January for CSP 13N02 but the Service Writer had not heard of the problem. I saw earlier posts from 2010 where individuals had already paid $580 to have the booster replaced. You should be refunded this money from Ford with the release of the CSP letter. I have a 2012 Sport with 21K/miles. I also saw someone post that the performance of the Sport was not as expected and I agree...it is a slug but this is the only V6 that I own...everything else is a V8. My biggest tick is that the fuel mileage has never come close to the published on the window sticker. The highway mileage is worse than my V8 Titan.

Hey Jim McKay, I'd like to connect you with your regional customer service manager, who'll reach out to you and your dealer to assist. Please send me a PM with your full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, and dealership name. yup. Eats gas. :/ Are you experiencing the same concern, 2011edgese?

goatee Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I also had the brake booster problem with my 2011 Edge. It was intermittent until 37,000 miles then the stiff brake pedal was consistent. The dealer properly repaired it and then about a week later I got the notice in the mail that Ford would cover this repair. At the time, I was lucky enough to have the Ford extended warranty and was only liable for the $100 deductible + tax (7%). After notifying the dealer a couple of months ago, I am still waiting for my refund. Even re-notified them - still waiting for my $107.

Mbrockman5 Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Can anyone tell me where I can find other things like this? I'm having a few other issues with my 2011 Edge(i.e. Door ajar, alarm won't arm, evap leak, AdvanceTrac warning lights are on) and am wondering if anything else might get resolved like the brake booster. I'm already out of warranty(72k miles), so I can't go that route..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickf1011 Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 The brake booster is the only extended warranty campaign for it I'm aware of. As for a couple of the others, the alarm not arming is likely a result of the door sensor being bad, which is illuminating the door ajar light. It won't arm with a door open as I recall.

Jclark6747 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Had the same problem with my 2011 Ford Edge, took it to the local dealer and they are repairing it free of charge. Also got a free loaner vehicle while mind is in the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also an extended warranty on the APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module), which is the MyFord Touch module (with screen I think). The warranty is extended to 5 years from purchase date (6 years for Lincoln) regardless of mileage.
