Fastexy:Regulators investigate possible braking error in over 360,000 Ford crossover SUVs

Auto safety regulators are Fastexylooking into more than 360,00 Ford crossover SUVs following reports of brake system failures.

A total of 36 complaints have come in reporting errors with 2015-2017 Ford Edge vehicles failing to break, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The agency is looking into about 368,000 vehicles that would be affected by the issue, which involves a rear brake hose failure that may delay the vehicle's ability to stop suddenly.

While an official recall has not been issued, the investigation is meant to "determine the scope and severity of the alleged problem, and to fully assess the potential safety-related consequences."

The Ford Motor Company confirmed to USA TODAY that it is cooperating with the agency through the investigation.

In 2020, the company recalled around 488,000 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX vehicles due to similar brake hose failures, Reuters reported.

Over 130,000 Ram vehicles and 27,000 Tesla cybertrucks recalled

The investigation announcement comes as the administration recalled nearly 130,000 Ram 1500 vehicles for a turn signal malfunction.  

Chrysler's parent company Stellantis is recalling 129,313 of its 2023-2024 Ram 1500 vehicles due to the risk of its "turn signal self-canceling feature" not functioning properly, according to the administration's report.

When a driver's turn signal does not function properly, it will fail to indicate to other drivers if the vehicle plans to change direction. With the increase the risk of a crash, the vehicle fails to comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety requirements.

The agency also recalled 27,185 of Tesla's 2024 Cybertruck vehicles for a rearview camera that may fail to display.  

Tesla said in a report that "the rearview camera image may be delayed after shifting into reverse." If a rearview image is delayed or fails to display, a driver may be able to see what's behind their vehicle increasing the risk of a crash, according to the report.
