    There is a noise coming from the interior of my car, near the brakes that makes a high pitched noise and is causing the brake to feel a bit hard when pressed. It is believed that the brake booster has malfunctioned. There is a customer satisfaction program listed as 13N02 in regard to the extended warranty coverage for brake boosters. Is my vehicle eligible to be covered on this warranty?

    Brake Booster is faulty. I was told this is a known problem for the Ford Edge. A faulty brake booster is dangerous if not fixed asap. The cost to fix is 900 dollars. Since this is a known issue with brake booster it really should be a recall item. IMO

I went back to the mechainc and they checked it out again. They figured out that it was the brake…

    Brake fail's due to leak in brake booster, brakes still work but extreme pressure on pedal required to stop car and extra time and distance required to stop or slow car. Car garaged entire life and only just turned 100k on odometer. This should be a recall in the interest of safety as many people have reported this and no action on ford's part to correct this dangerous situation. This has been talked about many times on internet.
