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.
2012 Ford Edge fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 47, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Check fuel fill inlet message keep popping up on my dashboard, and my car putters when I accelerate. It's so bad I don't feel safe to drive on highways.
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.

I started my 2012 edge and heard the starter take longer to turn over and start the car. Within moments the check engine icon appeared. I took my edge in to auto hobby shop located on a military installation. The service representative used his code reader machine to view code p0456. Which he said it indicated a minor fuel leak. He performed a smoke check said he noticed smoke leaking. I called my local ford dealership to check if there were any fuel system recalls. They said there was, but not for my VIN. Of the 3 recalls out for a 20012 edge, I only recieved one. Are recalls only for specific years/models/VIN's? How can I get my issue repaired? Could my VIN be added to the recall if I had a relating issue?
2012 ford edge. Consumer writes in regards to engine failure. *ld the consumer stated the vehicle would rapidly lose acceleration. The failure was intermittent therefore, the dealer could not duplicate or, repair the vehicle. The fuel inlet failed, as well. Updated 11/07/2017
I have this car in the shop for ptu x2, the sensors in the car went out causing the shifter and lights and doors not to work the breaks went out and now the cyclic converter is going out and there is a gas lick somewhere in the car or a viper lick somewhere and all of this started 3000 miles over the warranty and it has been in shop a total of 5 times in the past 2 years
Engine came on and vehicle slows down or stalls when driving. Dealer diagnosed problem was throttle body #at4z-9e926-b and replaced it at a cost of $333.23. Dealer and georgina at ford customer service stated no warranty or "customer satisfaction program" coverage for cost. Problem is same as ford escape covered in program.
While driving the car shuts off and a wrench pops up on the dash. Lat time it happen my wife was driving in an intersection . Than 2 more times in a 4 mile drive . We had this issue before and had the throttle body replaced about 8 months ago and that worked till now. My wife is to scared to drive the vehicle and I cant say I blame her .
See attached document post to ford. Our problems have been ongoing for a few months....one repair after another. I have noted the date of the "unable to turn off lights"issue but have documentation for all repairs this year.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. The contact stated that fuel leaked from the vehicle when refueling. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 106,796.
Fuel system stops working (throttle body). Car looses power, pressing gas pedal does nothing. Must get off road very quickly while drifting. Very unsafe.
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.
Started having problems with braking hard pedal at around 63000 miles. At the same time the vehicle would shut down while stopped in traffic or while vehicle is in park mode.
Car would lose power, run sluggish and shut off, when restart, low oil pressure warning comes up, drive car and warning goes off, check engine light remains on then mysteriously shuts off and car drives fine until it happens again, started happening periodically monthly then went to every few days
Vehicle stalling while driving and check engine light comes on, pull over turn off and restart, and the problem goes away. Just like several other complaints, appears to be the electronic throttle body. Replaced yesterday in 15 min, waiting to see if problem is resolved
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. The contact stated that when the vehicle was taken to be serviced, the technician discovered that the fuel line was cracked and leaked fuel. As a result, the technician informed the contact that the fuel line needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 12v438000 (fuel system, gasoline). The approximate failure mileage was 61,000.
Fuel nozzle inlet set a mil light code for fuel vapor seepage. This is the capless fuel system. This check engine light has been on ever since. Any type of ignition source goes near the fuel door will ignite the vehicle into flames.
While driving with cruise control set, vehicle going up a hill there was a sudden loss of power. The engine died (zero RPM indicated.) a few seconds later, the "low engine oil pressure" warning was displayed. Loss of power steering/brakes. Vehicle was carefully maneuvered off the highway. Attempted to restart repeatedly. Engine would only run for a few seconds, then died. Had vehicle towed to the ford dealer. No engine trouble codes detected. After sitting overnight, vehicle started and ran without issue. This is a definite safety hazard when a vehicle stalls at high speed on the highway.
The fuel filler door did not close correctly and the emission system sent a warning.
Gas throttle quit working. Car would not accelerate. Everything else worked. Engine would nor rev when accelerator pressed. See manual light appeared with a wrench symbol on dash. Coasted into parking lot and put car in park and restarted. Everything went back to normal. The next morning, the car did the exact same thing. Took the car to ford dealer and nothing shows up on computer scan and they couldn't replicate they said it sounded like the throttle body,but couldn't confirm. I know ford just recalled several cars this year for exact same symptoms and are replacing the throttle bodies. The internet is full of complaints of this same problem I am having on other edge models.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. The contact stated that fuel was leaking from the vehicle. The problem has occurred numerous of time. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that there was fuel leakage. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified about the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 96,000.
When attempting to accelerate after turning onto a state highway, the vehicle would not accelerate. It took 1-2 minutes to accelerate to 30 MPH and the vehicle would not reach speeds above 30 MPH. This was extremely dangerous as I was in traffic going 60-70 MPH. The dealership replaced the high pressure fuel pump and the problem was repaired until the condition reappeared in august of 2014. The conditions were similar circumstances as the first failure. As I was pulling into traffic, the vehicle would not accelerate and took several minutes to get to 30-35 MPH. The vehicle would not reach speeds above 30-35 MPH and several cars had to swerve into the other lanes to avoid my vehicle. I took the vehicle to the dealership and once again the high pressure fuel pump had failed. With this being the second failure of the same part in a 30 month period of time creating a very dangerous driving situation, I felt I should report the incident.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. The contact stated that the vehicle emitted a persistent gasoline fuel odor and the fuel mileage was reduced. The vehicle was repaired under the federal safety agency campaign id number: 14v002000 (fuel system, gasoline) but the remedy did not correct the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 49,000.
After one and a half months of driving my newly purchased 2012 ford edge sel, the brakes were hard and I literally had to strain my foot and legs to the pulp and give it all the pressure I could to get it to stop and to avoid hitting something or running into someone. It was the most horrible and stressful experience I ever had driving and especially since the car had been just purchased less than two months when this started happening. What a nightmare it was!!!!! The car is currently at the ford place being repaired and has been there since friday, july 11, 2014. They had to order a power booster and replace that and whatever else that was needed to make the brakes work properly. There is a lot they are not sharing with me and after reading other complaints and reports concerning this very same model, I can see why they are being so extremely vague with me when I ask questions. Another issue is that the vehicle is supposed to be a fuel economy vehicle and even though it doesn't cost that much to re-fuel, it sure does need refueling more frequently than I ever expected. I only do local driving mostly to and from work or to the local neighborhood stores and so forth, and as soon as I accelerate, I can see the gas gauge just going down, down, down. I am beginning to think with all due respect that for a vehicle that cost as much as they sold it to me for, I may have purchased a lemon or the edge is just not all that it is cracked up to be. Highly disappointed and extremely frustrated. Now I can understand why I have heard that ford stands for fix or repair daily.
In stop and go traffic at low speeds, the vehicle has stalled multiple times (11 times in the last year and a half). The most recent time in heavy, slow-moving construction traffic. Car loses all power without warning. Loss of power steering, very tight brakes, no acceleration possible and a low oil warning. I have to turn the car off and restart, this sometimes works, other times I have needed the car towed because it did not restart. This is a company car and it has been to the dealership multiple times, and only this last week was anything ever found to be wrong. All previous times the stalling could not be duplicated, and I was told either nothing was wrong with the car, they fixed a part they thought might be the problem, or I must have put in bad gas. After stalling a month ago, this past week a data recorder was attached and a defective oxygen sensor was found in the emissions system when the car stalled for the dealership. The oxygen sensor was replaced and they test drove the car. The stalling did not occur during their final test drives. I received the car back a week ago, only to have it stall three times within 10 miles two days ago. Almost was re-ended by a semi-trailer truck this last time as I was in the middle of six lanes of traffic, and with no steering, was helpless to move. Have stalled out in a gas station, rounding corners in intersections, at stop signs, driving down my street, and now four times on the highway during low speed traffic congestion. Having the car towed to the dealership as I am too afraid to drive it. There are at least four other complaints about this issue on the federal safety agency website, and it sounds like very similar to symptoms seen in the gm recalls. Car stalls without warning in more and more dangerous situations. This issue needs to be addressed by the manufacturer because of its dangerously serious nature.
On a sunday afternoon I noticed a fuel smell in my car as I drove it to the store. The smell of gas was especially strong when I had the heater on. Upon arriving home I opened the hood and noticed a mist coming from behind the engine near the placement of the steering wheel. I took it into the dealership where they identified it as a cracked fuel line damper. Fuel was leaking on to the engine and into the cabin. I searched online and noticed that the 2012 edge had been recalled previously for the same issue. When I brought this up to the service team member, the dealership indicated that my edge was manufactured after the dates covered by the recall. The repair cost $700 because I was a few thousand miles beyond the 36,000 warranty.
