2017 FORD EDGE — Complaint #2085141
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS filed April 22, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2085141 (ODI reference 11656163) concerns a 2017 FORD EDGE and was filed on April 22, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 26, 2025. The vehicle had 77,898 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to California 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 2017 FORD EDGE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. While the contact's wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the brake pedal failed to function as intended. The contact's wife stated that the brake pedal felt unusually soft and spongy while depressed.
