2010 FORD EDGE — Complaint #1760071
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:HYDRAULIC filed July 28, 2021
NHTSA complaint #1760071 (ODI reference 11426818) concerns a 2010 FORD EDGE and was filed on July 28, 2021. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 29, 2021. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, hydraulic:power assist:hydraulic, 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 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 2010 FORD EDGE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
My brakes suddenly became hard to press, and my car became almost impossible to stop on the freeway, and there is a hissing noise coming from under the brake pedal. My car has less than 90,000 miles, and has had only one owner, and was always serviced at a licensed Ford dealership. There have been no aftermarket parts installed. In addition, my car has always been garaged, both at home and at work, and no one else has driven it. It appears that there is a faulty brake booster that should have been recalled and repaired for free by Ford. This is a very serious and potentially deadly defect.
