The contact stated there was a warning indicator of PO456 and P1450. The contact stated there was an abnormal winding sound detected. Additionally, while driving the vehicle hesitated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed and fixed but in 4 months again the problem showed in the car. The contact was informed that the canister purge valve needed to be replaced.

Fuel purge valve leaking. Ford part number D2B19C987ab for whole assembly or B33tb Bosch for specific valve. Ford denies this is related to emissions therefor not covered under the extended warranty for emissions parts. Everybody is calling it an emissions device that controls fumes from gas tank. Many other owners have same problem, it's very common. Code P1450 and P0456. Causes car to not turn on after filling up gas tank. For some it has stalled the car while driving and unable to start car. This part should be replaced under warranty. 2017 Fiesta, 50K miles. Easy way to test is pull the tube from between the engine and firewall and if vacuum is present it's leaking. Does not require tools to disconnect. There is a green tab on the tube that you use fingers to push. Again no tools required and takes 10 seconds to do. Purge valve is suppose to be shut off by default. If air is moving through, you have a leaking valve. If you remove the whole assembly and blow on the end, it needs to not come out from other end.

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!

Engine light continues to come on. After adding gas to vechicle, ℂ𝕒𝕣 will stall. Sometimes takes several minutes to start. Was told by several mechanics it's the fuel system bc there is no cap, only the flap that doesn't close properly. Car has stalled while driving several times. Only 58,300 miles on vechicle. I've seen many complaints on this particular issue with this model. It is a safety issue when car stalls on highway or while driving. This has happened several times! car always has issues starting after adding gasoline.

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.
