Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS filed October 3, 2023

NHTSA complaint #1932778 (ODI reference 11547964) concerns a 2016 FORD EDGE and was filed on October 3, 2023. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 30, 2023. The vehicle had 49,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Iowa based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components: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:foundation components: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 2016 FORD EDGE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, her husband noticed that the brake pedal felt spongy. The brake pedal also extended to the floorboard whenever it was depressed. The vehicle was later taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the rear passenger’s side brake fluid line had ruptured causing brake fluid to leak from the vehicle. The independent mechanic performed a temporary fix to the brake line and the contact was advised to call the local dealer for assistance. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 49,000.
