Problem overview

Some Ford Edge owners report experiencing a concerning safety issue where the vehicle moves forward even with the foot on the brake. This problem can stem from brake system malfunctions, which may include loud hissing noises and difficulties in stopping, potentially leading to dangerous situations. Additionally, some owners have noted transmission problems, such as metal shavings in the fluid and damaged planetary gears, which can impair the vehicle's stopping ability. There are also concerns regarding recalls, particularly related to brake boosters, making it essential for owners to stay updated on safety notices for their specific model. While reprogramming the power train control module may resolve some performance issues, it is critical to ensure that all related systems are functioning properly afterward. Owners experiencing these issues are advised to have their vehicles inspected by a qualified mechanic or authorized Ford service center to ensure safety and proper operation.
