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

I HAD JUST PASSED A SEMI-TRUCK ON A SMALL FARM TOWN BLACK TOP ROAD AND CAME UP ON A STOP SIGN. IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING TO THE LEFT FROM THE STOP THE INCIDENT OCCURRED.

AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE I HAD TO FIND AN ALTERNATE WAY HOME. *WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE DID RUN HOWEVER IT SOUNDED AS IT WAS "STARVED" OR "MIS-FIRING", THERE WAS HEAVY WHITE SMOKE DISPERSING FROM THE EXHAUST AND WHEN I WOULD ATTEMPT TO PUT IT IN DRIVE IT WOULD DIE.

PLEASE BE PROACTIVE VS REACTIVE AND ASSURE THIS ISSUE IS ADDRESSED FOR THE PEOPLE.

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 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?

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.
