Sounds to me like the clip that holds the arm on the door handle somehow came off. Usually caused by somebody trying to use a "slim jim" tool to unlock the car after keys were left inside or when trying to steal it. I would remove the inner door panel, I'm sure there's a video online and check the rod to see if it's connected. If not reconnect it. Not really a hard job, just be sure to have the proper tools like a clip fork. Just bought one at autozone for $4.

Or the air in your tires.. We all know that goes bad after 12 months...

Well being that you don't even know it's there due to the large splash shield (4 feet long) covering that whole section I'd bet a whole lot of tire people and home mechs have hit it at least once.

******UPDATE****** I ordered and received the EVAP Canister and Canister Vent Solenoid. This morning I went out, jacked up the drivers side to install the new parts. Under the drivers door there is a composite splash shield that has to be removed to expose the EVAP assembly shield. What I found interesting and concerning is the words "Do Not Jack" on the shield itself. This makes sense as you could damage the Solenoid/Canister which "may" have been what happened to begin with. What's concerning and really stupid in my opinion is that Ford designed said shield and went as far as to stamp on it in big letters only to hide it under an unmarked splash shield where it'd be real easy to mistakenly place a floor jack and not know. Removal/replacement took about 1 1/2 hours though now I could probably do the job in about 45 minutes. Easy peasy, code cleared and CEL went away not to mention it accepts fuel now. :happy feet:

It's FWD. It would be nice if a vid was available or at least a description of what tools are needed to R&R the canister. Specifically if you need one of those line lock removal rings (like are used to unlock the vent tube) and what size is needed.

Replaced the Filler Tube, took about 1 hour total, easy to do as long as you have some tools and a jack.

Here's what I've got, Codes P01450 and P0451. Ran Evap test Fail. Found tank not venting. Ran Pinpoint test suspect canister vent valve faulty due to raw fuel, possible FTP sensor and canister damage. Was told by service advisor the vent for sure has to be replaced and most likely the canister which entails dropping the tank @$1400. So, while I've found the other parts the FTP remains a mystery so far and the one that A. requires the tank drop. B. May or may not be the problem. To ask a stupid question, I'd replace just the canister/vent assmbly first as that makes more sense but am not clear on it's location? I was under the impression it was located above the fuel tank. As for the danger, I'm well acquainted with the dangers as I used to deliver fuels to stations. Got a healthy respect for what fumes can do...

Yeah, it looks easy except when you get to the idea that you have to drop the fuel tank first. Certainly something you don't want to do in your garage if you have any open flames (like a water heater or dryer). Then you have to be good with the idea that you will most likely will be wearing gasoline or at a minimum spilling some out of hoses etc. I would say a "smart" person would have a fire extinguisher handy and maybe another person to put you out if you should happen to ooops and ignite some fumes via spark or??

I appreciated the escallation (for all the good it did ). Got a call from Ford, was told I'd be contacted by the Ford rep as soon as the diagnostic tests were finished. That was a couple of days ago. Here's an update on what was found. Turns out the vent valve on the fuel tank went bad and most likely took the canister with it. Total estimate to repair the emission system is $1400. I still assert that being you cannot pass emissions test with this defect it should be under emissions warranty.

Yeah, kind of figured. The problem is figuring out where exactly the blockage is. Is it at the fuel tank, the canister or the lines in between. No matter where the blockage I am wondering/concerned about how it happened in such a short time period.

Tricia, forgot to add my phone number and the system won't allow me to send another PM until late today.

Thanks Tricia, sent the info...

Nope, no longer under warranty @53k miles. I did speak with a dealer service dept. and they suggested the canister valve as the issue which I replaced. When I put the fill nozzle into the tank I get a pressure release, squeeze the handle and it puts in about 1.6 gallons then clicks off. I have to let it sit for 30 seconds or so and then it'll allow me to put in about .5 gallons. Rinse/repeat/rinse/repeat until I want to strangle it... In MY mind it's an emissions issue since I can't pass smog (emissions test) with a vapor issue but not according to Ford.

My Edge Limited will not allow me to put in gas unless I feed it with a teaspoon. I've also got a check engine light and diagnostics come back as a emissions issue most likely related to fuel system. I replaced the vapor canister valve which I was told is usually the culprit but no joy. Then was told it could be the fill tube so I just replaced that and still no joy. Ok, I'm stumped! Any suggestions????
