FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2012-2018 Ford Focus vehicles with a 2.0L GDI or 2.0L GTDI engine. The Canister Purge Valve (CPV) may malfunction, possibly causing excessive vacuum in fuel vapor management system.
Fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the Powertrain Control Module. Dealers will also check for fault codes and replace the CPV as needed. If the CPV is replaced, dealers will inspect and replace the carbon canister, fuel tank and fuel delivery module as necessary. The recall began August 19, 2019. Owners may contact Ford Customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 18S32. Note: Until the vehicle is serviced for this concern, owners are advised to keep the fuel tank at least halfway full.

Fuel pump system is causing the car to intermittently stall out in any gear (manual transmission). This symptom has caused my car to stall while driving in traffic leading to loss of acceleration control and total engine stall. I live in constant fear that I will be in another accident due to completely random engine stall.

Car engine completely stalled while stationary on a street at a red light, the engine would crank and the car shook aggressively but would not start. I was stranded a busy road until someone could push my vehicle out of the way of traffic while in neutral. Eventually after several tries and called tow, the car did start up after about 20 minutes of stalled time.

Same issue with fuel tank deformation. October 2018 was the recall. About 1 year ago greenway ford had the car for the whole day and stated they fixed it but now I received a letter stating the recall fixing was incomplete and the recall states it is increased risk for a crash due to stalling of the engine.

I took my car in for the recall, and the dealership replaced the evap purge valve. After getting it fixed I had to return the car to the dealership 2 weeks later because it dies every time I get gas, not the problem I was having before. The dealership determined this was because ford sent out a faulty part, and the flap isn't closing on the valve.

At times when starting off there is a severe hesitation. We have to keep the fuel tank more than half full at all times. We received a recall notice from ford but they stated our VIN wasn't listed on the recall so they would not fix it.

Certain engine types of the Ford Focus had a recall campaign to replace the stuck canister purge valve. However, the 1.0 Ecoboost 3-cylinder engine was not included in that campaign. Our car is having the same exact issue and we don't understand why the campaign wasn't extended to the other engine types.

Notified of recall (NHTSA recall 18v-735) by ford on dec. 10, 2018, that parts would be available in first quarter of 2019, but I have yet to be notified that the parts are available, and so I am still driving an apparently dangerous car.
