At a speed of about 60 mph I engaged the cruise control. About 10 seconds later car went into limp mode. Had to acceleration. Was able to pull off to side of road and then vehicle stalled. Put car in park waiting a few seconds and was able to start car again and continue driving with no further problems. This same problem occurred about a month earlier. That event was the same except it happened just after backing out of the driveway and starting up the road at a speed of about 5mph. Was able to restart and continue trip without any problems. Researched the problem and read comments from other people stating the same problem. Never happened before these two incidents

DRIVING ON US HIGHWAY 27, 65 MPH AT NIGHT. CAR JUST STOPPED DEAD ON THE ROAD, NO WARNING, PLENTY OF GAS. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! HAD IT TOWED TO FORD DEALER WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND FOR MY YEAR,MAKE AND MODEL A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP. BUT, ACCORDING TO MY VIN MY VEHICLE ISN'T COVERED. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE SINCE ITS THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE SAME VEHICLES? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 55 MPH, SHE SMELLED AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR. THE DRIVER STATED THAT FUEL SPEWED THREW THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE CONTACT ARRIVED AT THE SCENE, CUT THE FUEL LINE, ATTACHED ANOTHER RUBBER FUEL LINE ONTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THE CONTACT CALLED AUTONATION FORD (20777 KATY FWY, KATY, TX 77450, (281) 305-8949), BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *TR

WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED, THE ODOR OF GASOLINE IS VERY STRONG INSIDE THE VEHICLE TO THE POINT THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE CAR MUST BE VENTED TO BE ABLE TO BREATHE. CAUSING HEADACHES AND FEAR OF ANY IGNITION OF THE FUMES. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST FOUR TIMES I HAVE FILLED MY TANK. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE FOR OTHER 2012 EDGE'S BUT MINE IS NOT LISTED AND IT SHOULD BE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I COULD BE KILLED.

I WAS HAVING AN ENGINE LIGHT COME ON INTERMITTENTLY SOMETIMES EVEN JUST AFTER MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN FOR WARRANTY WORK. IT WOULD SOMETIMES EVEN MAKE A STALLING ENGINE SOUND WHEN I FILLED THE TANK WITH GAS. WITH THE LIGHT ON ONE OF THESE OCCASIONS I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE AND WAS TOLD THAT TWO OF THE 02 SENSORS WERE BAD. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE VEHICLE I'M TO FIND OUT THAT A CANNISTER PURGE VALVE HAD GONE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A WEEK LATER I GET A RECALL ON MY 2ND VEHICLE, A FORD FOCUS 2014 FOR THE CPV.

ISSUES WITH FUEL NECK FILLER. CODE P0456. AFTER FILLING UP UNLEADED GAS IN THE CAPLESS GAS TANK, THE VEHICLE STALLS UPON STARTING IGNITION. THIS IS NOW A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. AIR MAY BE FILLING UP IN THE GAS TANK. IN 2014, 2012-13 FORD EDGES WERE RECALLED FOR FUEL LEAKS. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL UNDER THAT RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS MANUFACTURED DURING THE SAME YEARS.

TODAY OUR 2012 EDGE LOST ALL POWER AS WE ACCELERATED FROM A STOP SIGN ONTO A MAIN ROAD FEEDING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 25 MILES /HOUR SO WE WEREN'T ACCELERATING QUICKLY. WE HADN'T EVEN COMPLETED THE TURN WHEN ALL POWER WAS LOST AND WE COASTED TO A STOP AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAVING HEARD OF OTHER FAILINGS LIKE THIS WE SHUT OFF THE CAR AND AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS RESTARTED THE CAR. THE CAR RAN THE REST OF PLANNED TRIP AROUND TOWN WITH NO FURTHER TROUBLES. IF WE HAD BEEN ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH LIMITED SAFE AREAS TO PULL OVER, OR IN THE FAST LANE ON THE FREEWAY WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN SERIOUS TROUBLE.

DRIVING DOWN BUSY STREET I WENT AROUND A BEND AND MY EDGE LOST POWER. EVERYTHING SHOT DOWN AND THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ON. SEVERAL VEHICLES ALMOST HIT ME AS THEY WERE COMING AROUND THE BEND AND I HAD NO POWER TO MOVE. I TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND CALLED MY HUSBAND. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO START MY CAR. WE WERE ON VACATION AND STOPPED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THEY CHANGED THE OIL AND SAID IT WAS FINE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AND I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY ARE 75% SURE IT IS WAS A THROTTLE BODY. OVER $400 LATER I THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED. I MADE A TURN THE OTHER DAY AND IT FELT LIKE MY CAR WAS LOSING POWER BUT IT DID NOT STALL. IT WAS SLUGGISH FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE THEN IT WAS OK. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.
