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.
front brake hose (driver side) is heavily leaking brake fluid. the recall for the issue does not show on my VIN when I search it. also the brake hose was never fixed and it still the old part on
5 days after front brake hose replacement due to rupture and subsequent replacement by Petrus Ford in Stuttgart, AR after finding out about recall, rear passenger side brake hose ruptured.
When driving and try to brake noticed that pedal distance has increased and was hard to stop the car. When stopped to review vehicle, noticed brake fluid on the right side of it. Take it to Ford dealer (CrossRoads Ford of Kernersville) and they confirmed rupture on right brake hose. Correction was to replace both front brake hoses. This failure is exactly the same as the one for safety recall "NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V469000". VIN for my vehicle is not part of recall however same failure happens with same risks, showing that Ford fails on tracking/providing accurate VIN numbers for this safety failure.
