2017 Ford Focus Fuel System Problems

Your car was recalled in December 2024 for a faulty canister purge valve, which you had replaced in April 2025. After the repair, your car continued to stall and act like it was running out of gas even with a full tank, especially at highway speeds — this created a dangerous jerking and sudden slowdown that could have caused an accident. The dealership discovered the fuel tank was collapsing, likely caused by the original valve malfunction, but Ford refused to cover the $2,600 tank replacement under the recall. Fixing this issue will require replacing the fuel tank and related components to restore proper fuel system function.

I am the owner of a 2017 Ford Focus vehicle. Recently, I have encountered multiple occurrences of stalling while driving on the highway. In two of these instances, I was in the process of passing a semi-truck and fortunately had no other vehicle behind me, or my safety and that of others may have been put at great risk. After the first incident, the check engine light appeared and was addressed by a mechanic who believed it was likely the result of a vapor lock. The issue later reoccurred and left me stranded on the interstate in a rural location where I had to wait for several hours before being transported to a nearby hotel. The vehicle started again the following morning, and I was able to finish the trip. After conducting some research, I discovered two separate recalls (identified by the NHTSA Campaign IDs 18V735000 and 19V515000) that had been issued for cars of this model and encompassing the year of my vehicle’s construction. The malfunction, as issued by a mechanic, fit the exact specifications of the recall; that is, malfunction of the canister purge valve, causing excessive vacuum in fuel vapor management systems, that can result in an engine stall while driving and without warning. I was surprised to learn that my vehicle’s VIN was not associated with any such recall; however, I was informed by my mechanic that a software update (18s32) had occurred on June 6, 2019, possibly removing association of the recall statement with my vehicle’s VIN. I am unsure at this time of the extent of damage to the carbon canister, fuel tank, and fuel delivery module. The only issue visible from the exterior is a slight depression of the fuel tank caused by excessive vacuum. The canister purge valve was replaced on September 10, at a cost of $270.03. Due to the nature of the incident and its exact resemblance of the recall issued, I would like to seek compensation for the replacement of the defective purge valve and further inspection of the carbon canister, fuel tank, a

What caused me to realize my car had safety issues was roughly 6 months ago when my car died at the pump after turning on. It chugged for a good 3 seconds as the dash lights flickered and it stalled. I was able to just turn it off and restart it after 2+ tries, and I wondered if It was too hot or if I put premium in, just playing it off. I thought I let the car get too low on E too, so I didn't think too much about it at the time as it didn't seem to happen for quite some time again. I filled my car all the way full at the first occurrence and mcurrently gets 29.8mpg. It started being consistently a problem when I started to refill on half a tank of gas or lower. The car starts to work harder and you can feel it wanting to die while I'm driving. The battery light does not stay on or come on the dash after the car starts so I know it wasn't the alternator at the time either. I was parked on a slight incline at under a quarter tank and I had to put my car in neutral and roll start it. It wasn't drastic or anything but the car was being weird and idling hard, but my RPMs stayed at normal levels. It just was shaking after starting. That's when I realized that the gasoline tank was not only having issues after I pumped gas. My check engine finally came on and a valve sensor for the gas tank was signaled. The car seems to run harder after starting up and it finally died on me while I was parked and idling. The battery was replaced at 55,643, mi.; Check engine light signaled at 53,000 roughly. - The car is available upon request. - I currently own a 2017 Ford focus & I bought it certified used from a Dodge dealership in Northern Kentucky. - It didn't signal any warning lamps or other signs of failure until it hit 5 y.o. and after I refueled my tank. I started to panic because I was going to be late for work and I had no time for this. -My car has been serviced twice to confirm diagnosis; Once for a simple oil change & code reader, and then at a certified local repair.

Code p1450 canister value vacuum. I had this fixed last year, and it's back. Other vins for this model recalled but not mine. My Vin should be recalled.

My check engine light is on, had it diagnosed as P0171, my vehicle has been acting like it's going to stall while driving and consistently stalls after put gasoline in the car. I looked up what the P0171 code meant and it was for the Canister Purge Valve. There is a recall for this problem with the 2012-2017 Ford Focus. My problem is exactly as described by the manufacture in the recall and all the comments on several places where they talk about the exact same issue. I'm worried that my car will stall out while I'm driving it, It does try to stall when stopped at traffic lights. I looked up my VIN#[XXX] under the recall the NHTSA recall 18V735000, but my vin# comes up as no recall. I'm having the exact same problem with my Canister Purge Valve as the recall describes, currently I cannot get my car inspected because of this code. I need my car to get to work every day and also my daughter drives my car sometimes too and I'm worried that this car will stall while she's driving it and cause a serious accident.

Every time I stop the vehicle to fill up the gas tank there are massive issues getting it restarted I am being told it is a faulty cpv valve and there are a huge amount of Fords that are being recalled for these bad cpv valves also occasionally happens while driving

Once, my Ford Focus stalled while driving at about 35 mph. Good thing I was in a neighborhood. It could of been worse. I know it wasn’t the battery because I had just replaced it. Also at a later time after refueling it didn’t want to restart. Then the check engine light turned on. Code read P1450. I took it to the dealership and they said the purge valve needed to be replaced. I did some homework and read that Ford, in 2018 issued a recall for approximately 1.5 million select 2012-18 Ford Focus vehicles equipped with 2.0-liter GDI and 2.0-liter GTDI engines for a malfunctioning canister purge valve. However, my Ford Focus didn’t have that recall.

NOW, I AM HAVING THE ISSUES WITH MY FUEL TANK AS NOTED IN THE RECALL, HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE INSPECTION PASSED, THE RECALL WAS CANCELLED AND FORD WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE HAS THEY NOTED IT ORIGINALLY. I HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE FUEL TANK UNTIL AFTER IT WAS INSPECTED BUT NOW FORD REFUSES TO FIX THE ISSUE THEY KNOW MY CAR HAS

THE ENGINE TENDS TO STALL AT TIMES, HAVE TO PUMP THE GAS PEDAL TO KEEP IT RUNNING. CAR IN MOTION. HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES FOR ALMOST THE TIME WE BOUGHT IT.

MY CAR HAS A RECALL FROM OCT, 22ND, 2018. THE NHTSA RECALL NUMBER IS 18V735. TILL APR 12TH, 2019, THE REMEDY PROGRAM IS STILL UNAVAILABLE. I WAS CURIOUS IF IT IS NORMAL? DO I JUST WAIT AND THE MANUFACTURER WILL INFORM OWNERS WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE? THANKS!

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL 18S32/NHTSA RECALL 18V-735 IN DECEMBER 2018.I HAVE NOT HEARD ON WHAT TO DO OR WHEN TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

BETWEEN 10 AND 15 MPH, THE CAR WILL STUTTER, ACTING LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL. ADDITIONALLY, IT WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY START ONE MORNING, ACTING LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING FUEL.

MY CAR IS REVING UP BY ITSELF AND THROTTLE IS STICKING MY CAR IS IN DEALERSHIP CURRENTLY FOR 4TH TIME AND THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHEN I AM STOPPED OR GOING. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND I ALMOST WRECKED IT LAST WEEK AFTER THE 3RD TIME I PICKED IT UP FRO. DEALERSHIP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FOCUS. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH THE FUEL TANK HALF FULL, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND NEARLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB GILLINDHAM FORD(8383 BROOKPARK RD, PARMA, OH) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON I395 SOUTH, THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED AND WOULDN'T NOT START BACK UP. HAD IT TOWED TO THE CLOSEST FORD DEALER AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A FUEL BUMP FAILURE.
