  1. It's a software "issue". From what I can tell, the car is entering a limp mode due to the left front wheel position being too far out of spec, which is due to the sway bar link letting the wheel turn a little further and have a little more slouch. I checked for scan and that is what I'm seeing.
  2. I read the codes using forscan. What is happening is the car is freaking out because the left wheel is turning a little bit too far left, so it's programmed to enter a limp mode. The problems I described are happening due to the software programing when it detects the wheel position being out of spec. Now I could replace the parts and still have the issue, which enters me into the rabbit hole of piece by piece repairs. But clearly I needed to replace the link anyways
  3. Hey all! Posting my experience with an issue so if anyone else comes across it they may be able to find the fix quickly I have a 2015 Ford edge sport AWD with 220,000 miles Recently when I would turn my steering wheel all the way to the left, EVERYTHING WOULD DISABLE. No power steering, no AWD, service Advanced track message, no abs, no traction control. Only way to get it to get back to normal if waiting for a second didn't fix it, was to turn my car off and on. When browsing the forums and reddit, I saw many people say it was a ABS sensor issue. Well, good thing I went ahead and just took off the wheel to look at the wheel hub area. it was a broken sway bar link on the front left side. Ordered the parts on rock auto, I went with MOOG greasable links. I saw all the complaints about MOOG not being good anymore and to just go with mevotech, and then I saw complaints about mevotech and to just go with MOOG. Normally I go straight to motor craft, but I wanted the greasable parts. The complaints seemed to just be "it's not usa made anymore so it has to be junk" Enjoy the photo of my temporary fix.
