2018 Ford Focus FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Last Sunday, May 15th, 2022 my check engine light suddenly came on. Monday morning, I drove to Auto Zone and had a chip reader placed on it. Gave me error code P1450 Unable to Bleed Up Fuel Tank Vacuum. When I went to gas up that day, I was a 1/4 tank and my vehicle would not start immediately, it stalled. I had to pump the accelerator and it eventually started. This same thing happened to my 2014 Ford Escape. My Focus is a 2018 SE and has 51k miles on it. My VIN is not associated with recall, however, if this is a known problem, it needs to be addressed by Ford. I talked to my independent mechanic, and he said he’s seen a lot of Fords with this and it’s hard to diagnose. I work 45 mins away from his location, so on my end, trying to find a few days off to have my car worked on and unfortunately, I’ll have to miss work as it’s my only mode of transportation working out of the area.

the purge value and cancaster is going bad and i know some 2018 ford force had a problem with these i would like my vin to be added to the recall since it should not had went bad

Every time I fill up my has tank my car stalls. And after 3 or 4 tried with me giving it gas it will start and idle super high. I have even switched to a higher grade gas and it happens with all grades. And if it doesn't stall right away it will cut off shortly after putting it in drive.

Car will not start after I get gas. When it does start, it "jumps"

Suction on gass tank collapsed causing stalling

Currently there is a recall for 2012-2018 Ford Focus vehicles due to a malfunctioning canister purge valve. This issue causes the vehicle to have trouble starting up after refueling. I currently own and and use a 2018 Ford Focus as my primary (only) form of transport. This vehicle is experiencing the same exact issues noted in the above mentioned recall. I have made contact with Ford through dealerships as well as through their customer service chat and they have advised me that the included vehicles in their recalls are determined by the date and location of manufacture and my vehicle is not included. I am hoping someone can help me with this as it is a serious safety issue. My vehicle refuses to start after refueling until multiple attempts are made causing undue wear and tear on the starter. It is obvious that this issue is getting worse as the vehicle now shudders at times and acts as thought it is going to stall out or it is not getting enough fuel or has air entering into the fuel system. The check engine light is on and the codes states there is a problem with the emissions. I would really like to have this problem addressed as I am fearful of being stranded or worse yet the vehicle stalling out in traffic. Ford told me that I would need repair this at my own cost and MAYBE some day it will be added and they will reimburse me for the cost. Is there anything thing that can be done to assist with this issue short of me paying with money that I absolutely do not have? Please help!

Check engine light came on and when a diagnostic code check was done error code P1450 appeared which appears to be a defective fuel tank pressure sensor. Gas tank is 3/4 full. Car is available for inspection. There was no accident. Just the CEL error code

Purge valve. Yes. Code p1450 Vacuum in gas tank. Yes. Yes no yes - 2 days ago

When putting gas in car Put gas in car, variables in Gas in tank, weather, or volume play no effect on this, car them won't keep running But only when we put gas in the vehicle turn car over doesn't want to stay running but only happens after putting gas in car. Whether that be a full tank or 15 cents Cant give dates because it happens when put gas in car

SCAN CODE P1450..ACCORDING TO FORD 1.28 MILLION OF THIS TYPE VEHICLE HAD A FAULTY GAS VACUUM VALVE (?) THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. ALTHOUGH I'M HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THE DEALER HAS STATED IT'S 'NOT THEIR PROBLEM'.

My car has stalled immediately after putting gas in my car the last two times I've put gas in my car. The last time was May 16, 2021. My car stalls two or three times after I put gas in it. After it starts the idle is rough and will even stall again after running rough for a bit. The potential danger there is that it will stall after leaving the gas pump. I assumed it was the fuel system because the issues I'm getting match the issues that led to a recall of other cars like mine. There are no warnings when this happens.

MY CANISTER PURGE VALVE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY BUT IT SHOULD BE. MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ONLINE AND THE DEALERSHIP ITSELF CONFIRMED A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

My car just stalls when gas get below a quater tank of gas and when getting gas car wont start after gas gets in tank needs a couple of tries before it starts without stalling yesterday we were driving we had 31 miles on dash the car died out in middle of road wouldnt start walked to gas station to get gas my car has every problem that there is a recall for same vehicle..

CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD NOT RE-START. CAR WAS LOW ON FUEL (APPROXIMATELY 1/8 OF TANK) BUT WAS NOT OUT OF GAS.

MY CAR HAS BEEN STALLING, NOT WANTING TO TURN ON AND ITS ALSO USING WAY MORE GAS THAN WHAT IT SHOULD REALLY BE USING. I WENT FROM HAVING 34-35 MILES TO THE GALLON AND IT DROPPED DOWN TO 29 MILES TO THE GALLON... I HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THEY SAID IT WAS MY PURGE VALVE.

THE CAR SKIPS WHEN PICKING UP SPEED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN THE CAR STOPPED SPEEDING UP. I KEPT HITTING THE BREAKS AND ALL MY CAR CONTINUED TO DO WAS SLOW DOWN. AFTER THAT THEN MY CAR KEPT KICKING BACK AT ME WHEN I WAS TRYING TO PRESS ON THE GAS AGAIN WHEN I COULD HIT THE GAS OR TURN ON THE CAR TO START IT WAS KICKING BACK. I GO BACK TO TRY ONE MORE TIME TO TURN ON THE CAR AND ALL MY SYSTEMS SHUT OFF AND ALSO INCLUDING MY VEHICLE. *TR

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.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CHECKED- DIAGNOSIS PURGE VALVE IS STUCK OPEN WHICH IS ALLOWING ENGINE VACUUM INTO THE FUEL TANK WHICH HAS FLATTENED THE FUEL TANK FLAT. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON 2018 FORD FOCUS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE IT JUST DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT INCLUDED IN CURRENT RECALL. *TR

I HAD ISSUES WITH CAR STALLING LAST YEAR. I BROUGHT IT IN TO MY DEALER HENDERSON FORD IN WEBSTER, NY AND THEY FIXED IT SUPPOSEDLY. NOW HERE IT IS ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER AND I HAVE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. I KNOW THIS YEAR FORD FOCUS WAS RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT NOT MY MODEL. WHY WASN'T IT INCLUDED? CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT DUE TO NOT WORKING BECAUSE OF VIVID. *TR

MY 2018 FOCUS HAS 2 CODES FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT P1450 AND P0456. THESE 2 ISSUES ARE THE SAME THING OTHER 2018 FOCUS'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR. WE ARE AT 43000 MILES AND THINK THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED AS WELL.

THE CARS EVAP SYSTEM HAS A LEAK

EVAP PURGE VALVE WENT BAD. THERE IS A RECALL ON FOCUSES 2012-2018 FOR THE PURGE VALVE BUT NOT MY PARTICULAR VIN. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 26 MONTHS. I DON'T EXPECT SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO GO BAD THAT SOON. REPAIR NOT COVERED UNDER THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY NOR THE POWER TRAIN. THIS DEFECT CAUSED MY ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON, THE CAR TO RUN ROUGH AND PROMPT SEVERAL ENGIN CODES.

MY CAR 2018 FORD FOCUS ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL. I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE.

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A OBD READING AND IT CAME BACK A FAULTY PURGE VALVE OR UNABLE TO BLEED UP FUEL TANK VACUUM. TAKE IT TO FORD AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY CAR. WHEN LOOKING UP MY VIN THERE IS NON RIGHT NOW, I CLEARLY HAVE STALLING ISSUES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I WOULD LIKE GET A RECALL ON IT BECAUSE 1.6 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES.
