Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:HYDRAULIC:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS filed June 10, 2021
NHTSA complaint #1751571 (ODI reference 11420432) concerns a 2015 FORD EDGE and was filed on June 10, 2021. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 1, 2018. The vehicle had 65,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Delaware based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, hydraulic:power assist:hydraulic:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD EDGE cohort independently describe similar service brakes, hydraulic:power assist:hydraulic:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2015 FORD EDGE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact stated while attempting to stop vehicle, the brake pedal extended to the floor with the brake system malfunction message displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the front brake lines were faulty causing brake fluid to leak from the vehicle. The front brake lines were replaced and the failure was remedied. The vehicle later experienced the same failure and the independent mechanic diagnosed that the same failure had occurred on the rear brake lines. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
