1 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 04/15/2020

Driving down very busy street and vehicle stalled as I pulled up to traffic light and came to a stop. As many as 3-4 times I was almost rear ended while trying to get vehicle started. Problem seemed to only occur when fuel tank is below 1/2 tank and I would notice fuel fill port flapper vibrating and sucking air into fuel tank. The Ford focus has this recall on the canister purge valve, why not on a Ford Escape. Same part used on both. This problem went on for two weeks before I could get vehicle into dealership.

2 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 07/11/2019

Driver was driving on dirt road on a hot day. The temperature was 102 degrees outside. The vehicle begin to lose power and suddenly it just stalled. The driver then waited a few minutes and turned the vehicle back on and it happened again until it finally wouldn't turn back on. This time the driver waited an additional 20 minutes and finally it worked again until they made it back to a gas station. The fuel level was barely under a half a tank. The vehicle tends to shut down on a hot day when fuel goes below a half a tank. It is consistent with other 2016 Ford Escapes.

3 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

The vehicle was travelling down rural highway on a hot day. It shut down almost in the middle of nowhere. The temperature outside was 99 degrees. The fuel level was at a quarter tank.

4 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 12/02/2018

As I was driving on the fwy mi car stopped accelerating I pulled over and my car turned off. I had a quarter tank of gas left once I tried to turn it on it would not let me. I had to call a tow. I now had a check engine sign on. I took it to autozone and they said I needed a new purge canister valve. But that doesnt explain why it did not warn me on the fwy that I needed gas .

5 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 07/19/2018

Vehicle was in motion going speed limit when it started to shut down. It became more frequent and lasted longer to start and to stay running. When shut down for 10 minutes it would travel about 20 miles before having issues once again. Found out when the fuel has under a half a tank the problem becomes more frequent. This time the fuel tank was full but it started acting up.
