Ford Faces $1,854 Repair Bill for Delayed Brake Fix

Ford recalled 497,624 2015-2018 Edge and 2016-2018 MKX vehicles for rear brake hose ruptures in August. The fix was delayed until September despite an April deadline. Paul Lonergan paid $1,854 to repair his 2017 Edge after the fix was unavailable. Ford has not reimbursed him and will only consider refunds after the official repair is available. The delay violates US auto recall rules requiring prompt remedy and reimbursement.
