2011 Ford Edge problems

“The contact owns a 2011 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving approximately 5 - 7 MPH, the vehicle failed to stop as needed. The brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to respond. The brake pedal was depressed to the floorboard. There was a squeaking sound coming from the vehicle. While making a left turn the vehicle shut off. The driver sustained a strain to the foot while depressing the brake pedal. The vehicle was towed to a residence. The contact called AAA Roadside Assistance. The contact stated that brakes service and an oil change were performed prior to the failure. The mechanic informed the contact that the failure was associated with the brake booster. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, and it was confirmed that there was no recall associated with the failure. The manufacturer was contacted by phone, but no assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 63,000.”

“The throttle body issues again with the burning smell as well the whole car shut down like the other two times I reported on this website! Please note the team who fixed it last time was at Poway Ford and the main manager from auto maintenance was fired due to attempting to correct the issue on my 2011 Ford Edge!”

“Break Booster Break fell to the floor, slow to stop, spongy. I was able to put on my hazards and roll to safety stop. Huge risk if I was going faster or turning a curve. Dangerous to me and others to not being able to stop The problem hasn’t been taken to the shop yet as it was closed and I had the same problem in 2025 and 2023 which were confirmed and fixed with ford parts. I am suspecting it is the same issue. Even if replaced the car is likely not safe wi the this part failing 3 times in less than 4 years. No warnings or symptoms, just falls to the floor and spongy break reaction”

“the hazard lights will turn on while driving, and or while the vehicle is parked, thus draining the battery. The button to turn them on and or off is a "pressure sensitive" button which fails from the swelling of heat and or moisture. This is a major issue as the vehicle can't be driven now since the hazards just turn on and off.”

“My 2011 Ford Edge stalled on the freeway March 1st 2025. I had purchased the car in 2019, and kept up with regular maintenance. My mechanic tells me its an issue with the "water pump" thats is connected to the timing belt, and that the engine has been flooded? Now I need to replace my engine! I looked into it and it turns out THOUSANDS of others have gone through this too. Someone needs to have this car/engine PULLED off the market. When I purchased it, it was supposed to be a reliable car for my family, now I dont know what I'm going to do because Ford just doesn't care about their customers.”
