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 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.

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!

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.

Vehicle engine stalls when in traffic. When i decelerate and engage the clutch (manual transmission), sometimes the engine speed will go so low, the engine stalls. It usually happens in very heavy traffic and i have to engage the clutch. This always happens when the vehicle is in motion. This happens pretty much anywhere, street, highway, freeway, drive way. It only happens when the clutch is engaged. If the car is in gear and the clutch is not engaged, it wont stall. I did take it to hemborg ford in norco, ca and they reflashed the computer, but it still is happening. Yesterday 12 aug, i was entering a roadway and a vehicle jumped in front of me. I applied both the brakes and clutch and when i tried to accelerate, the engine was stalled creating a very dangerous situation as i was already committed to entering the roadway and vehicles were approaching me from behind at a very high rate of speed.

My car been acting like it don't wanna start back in march its been saying engine malfunction service now and i been in contact with ford about it for the longest. I wanted them to fix it because i got the car from them and i knew i was still in my warranty. Then my car was only a year and a half old. They been telling me the part been on back order and some people said they don't a order for my car but 3 weeks ago from today i was driving my car and it started slowing down on was on martin luther king drive . I got an oil change a week before my warranty expired no one said anything to me about my car needed more work and they didn't say anything about the part i ordered. It's like as soon as my warranty expired my car started skipping and not wanting to start. I got my car towed and ford worked on it saying that the throttle body to my car went out and it needed to be replaced. I have pictures and videos from when my car started acting up to when it stop driving. *tr

I stopped twice on an intersection and a traffic light and the engine revved up to 3000 to 4000 rpm involuntarily from between 500 and 1000 rpm and i had to step hard on the brake in order not to have the vibrating car move forward. No, i did not hit the brake and the gas pedal at the same time. After i shifted the car into neutral at the next red light it did not show this behavior again. So it looks like a software glitch in the shifting computer part.
