MY 2017 FORD FIESTA HAS A MALFUNCTIONING CANISTER PURGE VALVE. I AM HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM FOR WHICH THE 2018 FORD FOCUS CARS WERE RECALLED. MY CAR IS ONLY 2 & 1/2 YEARS OLD AND IT IS STALLING AFTER I FILL IT UP WITH GAS. AFTER FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION, IT WILL NOT START ON THE FIRST TRY. IT STARTS ON THE SECOND, THIRD, OR FOURTH TRY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON NOW AS WELL. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED BY MY WARRANTY. I HAVE 56,000 MILES ON IT. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE COSTLY REPAIRS DUE TO THEIR FAULTY PURGE CONTROL VALVE. THE 2017 FORD FIESTAS NEED TO RECEIVE THE SAME RECALL THAT THE 2018 FORD FOCUS CARS DID. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM! (I DO NOT KNOW IF THE EVAP SYSTEM IS CONSIDERED TO BE UNDER POWERTRAIN OR FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM.) *TR

I was driving down a very busy highway about 60 mph when my oil light started flashing on my dash and my check engine light came on and when I tried to push my brake pedal to stop my car I couldn't push it in. My brakes were very hard, I had to pull my emergency brake to stop my car and coast into a gas station so I didn't hit anyone. I have done a lot of research online and this same issue is already under recall on 2 other Ford Models as well as a class action lawsuit against Ford because of this issue. My model however is not listed under the recall because it has a manual transmission and they said that those models are not affected but that's clearly not true.
