2016 Ford Edge Fuel System Problems

Your car keeps having problems with the purge valve solenoid failing repeatedly, even though there was a recall in 2021. The engine is stalling at red lights and during turns, which creates a dangerous situation on the road. Even after replacing the part, it fails again within a week or two. This issue may require diagnosing why the replacement parts are failing prematurely, possibly involving the fuel vapor system or electrical connections to the solenoid.

Every time I fill my gas tank up the car acts like it will not turn over and gives me a battery error. I have a brand new battery in my car and key just replaced both December 2025. After turning the car off and waiting then hitting the start button the car will start up then shutter. After going down the road it's fine and doesn't have the issue of not starting.

This has happened 2x where I am driving and there is loud noises coming from the fuel tank area and the car stalls. I am able to get it off the road. I turn the car off and it doesn't immediately restart. When I try and push in the fuel tank there is a lot of air that comes out.
