-purge valve solenoid replaced twice for evap systen, code 1450 occured 01/05/2021 & 05/14/2021 and -leak in radiator, unknown if blown gasket. Received message “high engine temperature stop safely” with zero radiator flued in tank occured 11/2/202. This has not been repaired but I have been aware of class action law suit related to this issue.
Vehicle has been making loud noises from the fuel tank when driving at slower speeds (20 and under) and when coming to a stop. The rpm goes very low, almost stalling out. Purge valve and canister need to be replaced and are not covered under warranty. The Ford fusion has had a recall on this same exact issue, and my vehicle falls within the years recalled. This seems to be a common problem when speaking with others whose vehicle is around the same year. This is not safe as I had my vehicle in the shop for 3 days and the problem was not able to be located until I was able to capture a video.
The next day after purchase September 2018, I noticed a slight slippage to the transmission and took the car back because the warning lights were on and the car would proceed to move at a low speed. I was told the vehicles fluids needed to be changed. The next day the issue persisted, I returned to the dealership again and was told the brakes needed to be replaced. On both occasions the monster dealership handled this. The issue with feeling the transmission jerk continued. May 2019 the transmission failure appeared (codes listed below) it was serviced by a&b transmission. Withing 48 hours the issue returned. It appears as though the transmission overheats after driving short distances. After several attempts from may-July the issue could not be fixed and continues as of today. The delay in reporting is that I had no idea this was here, please advise I would like to resolve this. Code p0741-00 torque converter clutch solenoid circuit performance/ stuck off - current dtc - warning lamp on. Code p1744-00 torque converter clutch solenoid circuit performance/ stuck off - current dtc - warning lamp on. P1450-00 unable to bleed up fuel tank vaccum - -pending dtc - warninglamp on. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.
