2011 Ford Edge Fuel System Problems

See attached document for complaint.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while the vehicle was unoccupied and parked inside the residential garage, there was a fuel odor entering the house. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with a roll-over valve failure. The contact was informed that the roll-over valve needed to be replaced along with other unknown repairs. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

Cel light and P0456 diagnostic reading indicates an EVAP leak. Large fuel leak discovered emanating from the fuel tank area when tank is at full. Fuel tank was removed and upon inspection it revealed the fuel tank had cracked at the top of the rollover valve just underneath a vent line. There is no recall for this fuel tank as there should be. A new fuel tank is ordered and awaiting delivery as there is no replacement part or means to install a new rollover valve. Cost of tank at discount is $1000. Photo of cracked area is attached.

Failed fuel tank. Noticed fuel like smell when starting car for two weeks but saw no indication of anything wrong. Last week fuel splashed out from underneath vehicle after pulling out of driveway leaving large puddle and stream of fuel. Visual assessment indicated fuel leakage from top portion of fuel tank. Contacted mechanic who removed tank to assess source of leakage and found issue to be damage at rollover valve and severe leakage. There were no warning lamps or messages indicating issue. Severe fire hazard putting safety of my family, self, and home at risk.

PTU IS LEAKING I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE F-350S

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Edge. The contact stated that upon entering and exiting the vehicle, there was an abnormal fuel odor present. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer where they discovered a leak in the fuel tank due to a defective gasket. The contact stated that the same failure had occurred years prior. The same dealer had performed an unknown repair to the vehicle however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and they informed the contact that the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 91,000.

THE ROLL-OVER VALVE ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK CRACKED ALLOWING GAS TO ESCAPE WHEN THE TANK WAS OVER HALF FULL. THE ROLLOVER VALVE IS PART OF THE TANK ASSEMBLY AND CANNOT BE REPLACED BY ITSELF. I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW TANK ASSEMBLY FOR $1300 PLUS LABOR.

FUEL LEAK. THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THE SAME PARTS ON THE 2012 AND 2013 FORD EDGE. JUST WANT TO GET MY EDGE FIXED SO IT DOES NOT CATCH FIRE

UPON FUELING OF VEHICLE A STRONG SMELL OF FUEL IS PRESENT AND AFTER PARKING OVERNIGHT A SIGNIFICANT PUDDLE OF FUEL IS DISCOVERED UNDER THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SEVER ISSUE WHICH NEEDEDS TO BE RECALLED TO PREVENT A CATASTROPHIC EVENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED UPON ENTERING HIS VEHICLE, HE SMELLED AN ABNORMAL ODOR OF GASOLINE AFTER REFUELING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WENT INTO HIS GARAGE AND SAW A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ON THE FLOOR. THE CONTACT CONTACTED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ADVISED HIM TO REFILL THE FUEL TANK TO DETERMINE WHERE THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM. THE MECHANIC PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THE RESULT WAS A LEAKING SEAL BY THE ROLLOVER VALVE SENSOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

UPON FILLING THE GAS TANK, ONCE PARK IN THE GARAGE THERE IS AN OVERPOWERING SMELL OF GASOLINE. I'VE CLEANED THE FILLER SEAL, CHECKED FOR LEAKS "NONE NOTED." NO FUEL ON THE GROUND BENEATH THE VEHICLE. THE TANK IS NOT OVER FILLED, NO RESIDUAL FUEL AROUND THE FILLER NECK OR RUNNING DOWN THE OVERFILL DRAIN. FUEL SMELL GOES AWAY AFTER THE TANK IS BETWEEN 3/4 TO 1/2 FULL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY A RECALL. I SUSPECT THAT THERE IS A BAD SEAL ON THE FUEL PUMP OR TANK MY BE DAMAGED

FUEL TANK LEAK, FUEL ODOR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FROM ERROR CODE P0456 - SMALL LEAK DETECTED IN THE EVAPORATIONS EMISSIONS (EVAP) SYSTEM. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FUELED WITH GASOLINE. MY MECHANIC ADVISED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN FORDS WITH THE NO GAS CAP SYSTEM.

I HAVE BEEN SO DISCUSSED WITH DEALERSHIP THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DETECT THIS PROBLEM 2 YRS AGO. I AM SO SURPRISED THAT THERE HAS NOT BE A RECALL ON THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM BY FORD.

2 TIMES TODAY I LOST POWER AND MY CAR CRAWLED OUT OF THE ROAD. THE WRENCH LIT UP AND AFTER I STOPPED AND RESTARTED CAR IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL. FIRST TIME WAS PULLING INTO WORK THEN AFTER WORK ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE FIXING IT. SAID IT WAS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY CONTROL MODULE. BEFORE THEY CALLED BACK I LOOKED THIS UP AND THERE WERE MANY STATEMENTS ON THIS HAPPENNING. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I DON'T KNOW WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL BEFORE THERE ARE ANY LAWSUITS FROM PEOPLE DIEING.

VEHICLE SLOWED AND SHUT-DOWN. DEALER STATED THROTTLE BODY HAD AN ELECTRICAL SHORT . UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION TO SAY THE LEAST. VEHICLE SHUT DOWN ON PUBLIC STREET..VEHICLE MILEAGE WAS 52,964.

WHEN DRIVING CAR AT ANY SPEED,ENGINE SUDDENLY LOSES ALL POWER,ORANGE WRENCH COMES ON DASH,THERE IS NO WAY TO KEEP CAR MOVING.DRIVER MUST REALIZE WHAT JUST HAPPENED AND TRY TO NAVIGATE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP IN ASAFE SPOT.ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY WIFE WAS NEARLY RAMMED OFF THE ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED ON 295 IN SOUTH JERSEY,THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM FOR ALL CARS NEARBY BECAUSE IT COMES WITH NO WARNING AND NO OUTWARD SIGN OF A PROBLEM.COMPOUNDING THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK FOR IT TO RESTART, NEUTRAL WONT DO ANYTHING,FORD HAS RECALLED OVER A MILLION CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM,PLEASE DO WHTEVER YOU CAN TO SPEED UP THIS RECALL BEFORE THE DEATHTOLL STARTS TO CLIMB,
