I keep getting this code p1450 on my car for check engine light i've already paid at firestone to have a piece switched out once which was not even broken. the light keeps coming on. when you search it appears many people have this problem with many fords.
I drove my 2014 ford edge up about two blocks to a busy street, and attempted to make a left turn when it was clear / safe. midway across a 5 lane street, my car stalled. as much as i pushed the gas pedal, nothing happened. the wrench symbol appeared on the dash, and the car was shaking. i had my two babies in the car with me, and we're lucky we weren't t-boned by traffic coming at us from both directions. i was somehow able to coast across the intersection in time to pull over safely. once i was stopped the car for about 10 minutes to call road side assistance, i started the engine again, and everything seemed normal. i tried to drive it further, but after about 20 miles, it stalled again the same way. again, i pulled over and turned it off, and it seemed to work when i turned it back on. once it stalled for a third time, i had to pull over and have it towed. upon further research, this seems to be a problem other drivers are facing with this make and model, and it is a very dangerous safety issue. the vehicle gave no warning that something was wrong (like an indicator light in advance or even a strange noise) before it stalled, and i have received no communication from ford about this safety issue of which ford seems to be aware.
Vehicle lost engine power in traffic on a city street with speed limit of 35 mph. i coasted to a stop as i could not accelerate. i had to pull to side of road and turn off the engine and restart it. i was only able to go about 1 block before it happened again. same issue. loss of engine power - no acceleration. this issue happened on more time before i could get to a nearby parking lot. i let the vehicle sit for about 5 hours. i tied to drive it again and the same thing (loss of acceleration, had to shut of engine and restart) happened 3 more times in a 4 block drive.
I had been driving for about 40 minutes around 35 miles per hr, on a street. i slowed down to change lanes to enter the freeway ramp.then while the vehicle was in motion, it would began to slow down and lose power. the wrench icon appeared, but was able to steer, around a few feet, into a service station . the vehicle came to a complete stop. i kept the engine running but there was no acceleration. when pressing the accelerator there was no activity. i placed the vehicle in park and turned off the ignition. maybe one minute later, i restarted the engine. the vehicle started right up. the accelerator worked properly. instead of entering the freeway i took another route home,which was about 15 miles away. i had the vehicle taken to a ford dealership the next day which was 4/11/2019. after inspecting it,ford stated they could not identify any problems. i have around 76,000 miles on the vehicle. i am very much afraid to drive this vehicle, because of the safety danger that it pose. i am returning it back to ford for further inspection. i did not receive any warning before the vehicle loss acceleration. i would not have been able to avoid a crash, if there would have been the usual traffic or if i would have entered the freeway as planned.
I bought the vehicle new, and have slightly over 42,000 miles on it. in november 2018, when driving on a 2 lane road in the city, the vehicle suddenly lost all acceleration and the wrench light on the dashboard came on. i had to quickly maneuver to the side of the road as the vehicle lost speed and came to a stop. pushing down on the accelerator would not do anything. i had to have the car towed to a dealer, where they diagnosed that the throttle body was binding due to carbon build-up. the dealer replaced the throttle body and cleaned the fuel injection system and fuel metering system. as the vehicle was no longer under warranty, i had to pay over $650 for the repairs.
On saturday oct. 6 at approx. 9 p.m. with mild weather/temp. at 70 mph on left lane of highway in a construction zone with no emergency shoulder, wrench symbol appeared and it would not keep up to speed. because of the sudden slow down, we were almost hit several times trying to get to the right. the speed dropped suddenly. limped it along to what we "thought was a safe exit" and called state police. while waiting i kept the car on with hazard lights. then two vehicles appeared tried to block us in and we believe rob us. i was able to hit the gas and get 1/4 mile before it did it again. would not move, chugged and cut off. the suspicious people took off but it was terrifying to be so vulnerable and not be able to get away. it was towed by state police to closest dealer of the auto group we purchased from as a certified pre-owned vehicle. after reading online that this has happened to many, many people and how dangerous it is, i wanted to report it. this issue is going to kill people. it is the throttle body. the forums are loaded with people that faced this sudden dangerous situation.
It will not run over 5 miles per hour, it cranks ups and idles. i have researched this and the guy at the ford dealership said it may be the throttle body.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford edge. the contact stated that the vehicle decelerated in the middle of traffic and had to be pushed off the road. the air bag and check engine indicators illuminated. the vehicle was towed to peacock ford (1875 s orlando ave, maitland, fl 32751, (407) 644-7111) where it was diagnosed that a new fuel injector was needed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not specify if they could assist. the failure mileage was 70,000. the vin was unknown.
While driving on town street the car started slowing down and the wrench light came on and the car felt like it it just lost all power - not electrical but it slowed down to a crawl. i was able to pull the car over to the side of the road, shut off the wrench and shut off the car. i let it sit for a minute then turned it on and it was fine. i took it to the dealership today 10/20 and they identified that it was the throttle body. this was a very unsafe event and my car has only 34,614 miles on it. it could have caused a serious accident if i hadn't pulled the car over as it just stopped in the middle of this very busy street.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford edge. while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled. the vehicle was taken to friendly ford of las vegas (660 n. decatur blvd, las vegas, nv 89107), but was not diagnosed. previously, the vehicle experienced a power steering fluid leak and, when turning the steering wheel in either direction, a whining noise was present. the power steering pressure hose was replaced, but the whining noise continued. also, while operating the vehicle, a fuel odor was present inside the cabin. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the failure mileage was 23,333.
The fuel stops going to the engine while driving on a country road. this has happened on 3 occasion since i purchased the car in 2014. dates of occurrence 12/24/15, 8/5/16, and 8/12/16.
Noticed steady stream of fuel leaking, from fuel line behind rear wheel weal, while vehicle was stationary during refueling process. fuel continued to leak, from the fuel line at alarming rate, while the vehicle was in motion to be dropped off to be serviced at the dealership. from gas station to dealership is less than 5 miles, however fuel gauge went from 3/4 tank to half way above 1/2 tank. in addition, the miles to empty gauge dropped almost 50 miles over this time frame (about a mile every 10th of a mile driven).
While driving, the speed was around 50mps the vehicle made a notice on the dash that said "low oil pressure" . it then at the same moment slowed down from 50 to 0 within about 50 feet and completely lost power steering almost causing a fatal crash with a child in the car. the vehicle is back at the dealership where it was purchased at and has been evaluated for malfunctions. although the dealership service has not said anything about what happen or what the problem was and i feel extremely uncomfortable even going somewhere with my family knowing this has happen once. i need to have this problem rectified before a fatal crash takes me and my family out. what can we do about getting a recall on this?
