Not sure if it's the fuel system or the power train but I am having the same problem as lots of other people with this car! The check engine light is on and has read a code for a valve. My car is a 2017 and will not start right away after I add gas! I've been told its the engine valve and have had no luck finding anyone to cover it under warranty! Ford needs to recall this vehicle!
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.
Car refuses to start while in p (park). Will start in n (neutral) with difficulty.
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.
