bubbadewsky Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 When driving on slick snow at about 15 to 30 mph and trying to panic stop the ABS pulses the brake pedal really hard and a banging noise comes out of the brakes mostly the LF brake. Is this normal. I have a 2000 F-150 and in the same situation I hear a clicking sound from the ABS and some pulsing in the brake pedal. The Edge is several times more pronounced than the truck is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Did it perform OK in the stopping department otherwise? Most likely the combination of ABS and traction control (though it could be an incorrectly seated pad/rotor combo), as the Edge shifts power to the wheel with the most traction. A member with an MKX recently also had a similar experience, the service shop found no cause for alarm. I would stay alert for repeat incidents, especially when the road is fine & there is no reason for ABS to engage.

bubbadewsky Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Brakes work perfect on dry pavement. Only thing that concerns me is my F-150 with ABS is no where near as noisy or heavy pulse through brake pedal. It just clicks and some light pedal pulse. Is there a problem with the Edge------------- thanks for reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) I don't believe the Edge has any issues, given the info you have provided. Now, it is very likely your F150 does not have the sophisticated ABS/traction control setup of the Edge. Does it have 4WD/traction control?

macbwt Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Two different vehicles with noise translation also going to be different. I do know the traction control noises are different then the anti lock on my edge 2008. I have not yet been able to feel or hear the 2011 since I just bought it, but do expect it to be nearly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbadewsky Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the replies fellows, I did see some posts on the Fusion forum and there are a few posts that sounds like the same noise mine makes. Any more info I would be glad to hear till then thanks again, looks like normal scary noise. . .

JOEHIO Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hi, it was probably my post on the loud noise from the ABS in the snow. Kind of sounds like galloping horses. This sound, according to the shop foreman, whom I have a great rapport with, said the sound is more pronounces because the ABS pump is right near the firewall on the drivers side. My wife's '09 MKS DOES NOT make a noise like this, her pump is in the front. The tech took me out in another '12 MKX in the snow, and it makes the same sound. Not sure that this made the same noise previous winters, this still has me a little uncomfortable. Would appreciate anyone else's similar issues.

macbwt Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 My ABS made a loud noise today. Not as loud as that deer smashing my front end to pieces though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
