I own a 2011 Ford Edge and I’m having an extremely dangerous brake problem. Occasionally the brake pedal goes to the floorboard and doesn’t stop the vehicle. I have taken the Edge to a Ford Garage and Firestone several times and no one can find a problem as it is a random. The brake booster has been changed as has the master cylinder. There is a very expensive part that can be changed, but Ford states there is only around a 50% chance that it might fix the problem. Do you have a solution? I see on-line that this is a common problem. ---

If you have no air or leaks, the problem could be sticking master cylinder or faulty valves in the ABS unit. ---

Has road salt compromised your steel brake lines . . . ? or do you live near the ocean . . . the salty sea breeze will also do a number on brake lines
