Sometimes, manufacturers create vehicles that have inherent safety risks. Until drivers get into crashes or start reporting the problems, carmakers may not investigate or issue a recall. That may mean that drivers are using vehicles that should have Ford Edge masker cylinder recalls issued.
What should you know about Ford Edge master cylinder recalls?
As of September 2020, no recalls have been issued.
Some complaints at the NHTSA include:
- Brake pedals traveling to the floor
- Brake lines needing to be bled
- Soft brake pedals
- Faulty ABS HCU modules
Within this article, we will go over the issues found with Ford Edge master cylinders and how they were resolved, so you can know what to expect if you find yourself with the same problems.
Brake Pedals Travel to the Floor
One Ford Edge owner reported that the vehicle suddenly lost braking power. The brake pedal pushed all the way to the floor, and they nearly were involved in a collision. After stopping the vehicle and turning it back on, the brakes began to work normally.
In another consumer complaint, the same issue happened. An independent repair shop reinstalled the master cylinder and manually bled the brake lines to fix the issue.
Faulty ABS HCU Modules
One consumer reported traveling slowly, around 15 mph, and having the brakes “clunk” before a soft pedal resulted. The brakes were able to stop the vehicle, but they were weak.
A Ford dealer diagnosed the problem as a defective master cylinder and faulty ABS HCU module. The overall cost of repairs was estimated at $2,176.12 on a vehicle with only 73,070 miles.
Right now, there are no recalls on the Ford Edge master cylinders. As a result, if the brakes in your vehicle go out, you may need to seek support independently and cover the cost of the repairs.
