    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.

    Throttle body and motor asy i replaced this on 2/13/2016, later found out there was a recall and was reimbursed in 2014 but on 2/26/2018 it went out again an replaced at my out of pocket again. I ask is this a fix or just a replacement no one will answer me. This is dangerous, the car just stops no power, if in heavy traffic could be hit from the rear, not good. Is the replacement a fix oe just a replacement?

    Code p2111 occurs and at stop light engine appears to almost stall. While driving the stability control tuns off, low oil pressure light comes on, and check engine light comes on. Problem goes away while driving after a second. At the stop light, it begins every time you come to the stop light. Ford says nothing is wrong but this appears to be another throttle body issue with ford edges.

    While driving down the highway, my 2011 ford edge lost all acceleration and the awd warning light came on with the lighted symbol of a wrench. I was almost rear ended by several cars before i could make it side of road. I had to shut vehicle completely down and restart. This problem continued for several more times. Ford needs to address this problem before several people get killed.

    On occasion, when breaking at slow speeds (like pulling into a parking space) while depressing the brake peddle, the car will accelerate and lurch forward. My foot was nowhere near the accelerator peddle. This happens about once every few weeks.

    The door ajar warning lights come on every single day for all doors. Constantly causing surmountable stress to driver. If unable to get the sensor to turn off, the doors do not lock while driving, which is terribly unsafe for driver and passengers. Also, because the dome light is connected to the door, the lights stay on draining battery. I've also had the door ajar sensor warning come on while driving down the…
