1 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 04/20/2021

Our 2018 Ford escort has the same problems described nhsta campaiign #18v7350000 recal id 298184 but this VIN is not on recall. We pulled out into traffic and the car just died luckily it was not on a highway. We need to keep the tank as close to full as possible and fill the gas tank at the coolest part of the day and it takes a while to get the car started. One time after filling the tank we had to wait 15 mins and the car ran fine then it just died, nearly getting rear ended by a tractor trailer. That was on 4-20-21 and otyher times before.

2 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 05/15/2020

Stuck canister purge valve (may cause stall). Mine always triggered p1450 "unable to bleed up fuel tank vacuum" code after filling at gas station. I purchased and replaced the canister purge valve from Ford in midland, mi. This should have been a recall part and I should not have had to purchase! this design is flawed and all models with this design (and all years) need to be added to the recall. This could have been very dangerous if it stalled at a bad time.

3 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 09/07/2019

My vehicle is a 2018 Ford Focus st and has a check engine light that indicates the evaporative emissions canister purge valve to be stuck open which could cause the fuel tank to deform. I experience engine hesitation and almost stalling immediately upon start-up after refilling fuel. This issue is addressed in an existing recall (18s32) for certain 2012-2018 Ford Focus. However, my VIN number is not included in the list of cars that are affected and as a result, Ford refuses to cover the repair expense.
