FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL PURGE VALVE LEAKING. FORD PART NUMBER D2B19C987AB FOR WHOLE ASSEMBLY OR B33TB BOSCH FOR SPECIFIC VALVE. FORD DENIES THIS IS RELATED TO EMISSIONS THEREFOR NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR EMISSIONS PARTS. EVERYBODY IS CALLING IT AN EMISSIONS DEVICE THAT CONTROLS FUMES FROM GAS TANK. MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE SAME PROBLEM, IT'S VERY COMMON. CODE P1450 AND P0456. CAUSES CAR TO NOT TURN ON AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK. FOR SOME IT HAS STALLED THE CAR WHILE DRIVING AND UNABLE TO START CAR. THIS PART SHOULD BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. 2017 FIESTA, 50K MILES. EASY WAY TO TEST IS PULL THE TUBE FROM BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND FIREWALL AND IF VACUUM IS PRESENT IT'S LEAKING. DOES NOT REQUIRE TOOLS TO DISCONNECT. THERE IS A GREEN TAB ON THE TUBE THAT YOU USE FINGERS TO PUSH. AGAIN NO TOOLS REQUIRED AND TAKES 10 SECONDS TO DO. PURGE VALVE IS SUPPOSE TO BE SHUT OFF BY DEFAULT. IF AIR IS MOVING THROUGH, YOU HAVE A LEAKING VALVE. IF YOU REMOVE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY AND BLOW ON THE END, IT NEEDS TO NOT COME OUT FROM OTHER END.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
NOT SURE IF IT'S THE FUEL SYSTEM OR THE POWER TRAIN BUT I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS CAR! THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND HAS READ A CODE FOR A VALVE. MY CAR IS A 2017 AND WILL NOT START RIGHT AWAY AFTER I ADD GAS! I'VE BEEN TOLD ITS THE ENGINE VALVE AND HAVE HAD NO LUCK FINDING ANYONE TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY! FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE!

MY VEHICLE TINTS IN THE BACK AND PASSENGER FRONT SIDE ARE STARING TO WARP. THIS MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO VIEW WHERE I'M TURNING. I CAN ROLL DOWN THE PASSENGER WINDOW FOR VISIBILITY BUT CAN'T DO THIS FOR THE BACK, WHICH SUCKS. I DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO HAVE TINTS REDONE. WHAT DO I DO IN THIS SITUATION? *TR

MY 2017 FORD FIESTA HAS A MALFUNCTIONING CANISTER PURGE VALVE. I AM HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM FOR WHICH THE 2018 FORD FOCUS CARS WERE RECALLED. MY CAR IS ONLY 2 & 1/2 YEARS OLD AND IT IS STALLING AFTER I FILL IT UP WITH GAS. AFTER FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION, IT WILL NOT START ON THE FIRST TRY. IT STARTS ON THE SECOND, THIRD, OR FOURTH TRY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON NOW AS WELL. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED BY MY WARRANTY. I HAVE 56,000 MILES ON IT. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE COSTLY REPAIRS DUE TO THEIR FAULTY PURGE CONTROL VALVE. THE 2017 FORD FIESTAS NEED TO RECEIVE THE SAME RECALL THAT THE 2018 FORD FOCUS CARS DID. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM! (I DO NOT KNOW IF THE EVAP SYSTEM IS CONSIDERED TO BE UNDER POWERTRAIN OR FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM.) *TR

ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. AFTER ADDING GAS TO VECHICLE, ℂ𝕒𝕣 WILL STALL. SOMETIMES TAKES SEVERAL MINUTES TO START. WAS TOLD BY SEVERAL MECHANICS IT'S THE FUEL SYSTEM BC THERE IS NO CAP, ONLY THE FLAP THAT DOESN'T CLOSE PROPERLY. CAR HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES. ONLY 58,300 MILES ON VECHICLE. I'VE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN CAR STALLS ON HIGHWAY OR WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THE CAR EVAP PURGE VALVE STAYS OPEN. THE CAR IDLES AND DIES EVERYTIME I PUT GAS IN. THE PURGE VALVE WAS REPLACED LESS THAN A YEAR OF PURCHASING THE CAR AND IT'S GONE BAD AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ENGINE MALFUNCTION WARNING CAME ON THEN TWO DAYS LATER THE CAR DIED AFTER I ADDED GAS AND TOOK 2 HOURS TO START. I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND DROVE IT ANOTHER WEEK. IT STILL IDLES AFTER ADDING FUEL EVEN WITH THE NEW BATTERY. IT FINALLY DIED AND I HAD IT TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, THROTTLE BODY AND EVAO PURGE VALVE, O2 SENSOR IS BAD AND ALL 3 NEEDS REPLACING.
