    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…
