Check engine light came on and when a diagnostic code check was done error code P1450 appeared which appears to be a defective fuel tank pressure sensor. Gas tank is 3/4 full. Car is available for inspection. There was no accident. Just the CEL error code

On 3-28-21 I got an oil change. Shortly after my engine light came on with error code p1450 which it didn't have beforehand. We first took the car to a mechanic and he said that the code is consistent with a known recall for that year and model for a problem with the fuel system. We took it to a Ford dealership to get an evaluation done and they confirmed that the problem was consistent with the recall the mechanic mentioned however there is no recall for my VIN number. When we put gas in the tank and turn it on again, the engine stalls. It runs rough when idle and sometimes has a problem getting up to speed from sitting at traffic lights.
My car has stalled immediately after putting gas in my car the last two times I've put gas in my car. The last time was May 16, 2021. My car stalls two or three times after I put gas in it. After it starts the idle is rough and will even stall again after running rough for a bit. The potential danger there is that it will stall after leaving the gas pump. I assumed it was the fuel system because the issues I'm getting match the issues that led to a recall of other cars like mine. There are no warnings when this happens.
Our 2018 Ford escort has the same problems described in: Nhsta campaiign #18V7350000 recal id 298184 but this VIN is not on recall. We pulled out into traffic and the car just died luckily it was not on a highway. We need to keep the tank as close to full as possible and fill the gas tank at the coolest part of the day and it takes a while to get the car started. One time after filling the tank we had to wait 15 mins and the car ran fine then it just died, nearly getting rear ended by a tractor trailer. That was on 4-20-21 and otyher times before.
Fueled the vehicle and drove it later and it stalled. Warning lights came on. It is a 2018 with only 26,000 and we owned it a week. Bought from what we thought was a reputable dealer. Hillyers Ford
My canister purge valve needs to be replaced. It is not under warranty but it should be. Many people are complaining online and the dealership itself confirmed a lot of people are having this problem.
When coming from a complete stop at a red light upon pressing the gas to put yhe vehicle in motion again, it stalls before taking off. The airbag under the steering wheel deployed when my knee bumped it. When putting gas in the car the car will not start back up, it starts N turns off on its own.
Sometimes when I run the car early off in the morning I usually let it warm up. But even though I do that it seems like it kind of like struggles if I accelerate slowly, and I'm doing so it kind of like jerks the vehicle forward a couple times until it just clicks. That's for the, for the speed control I think I put it under. As for the other issue I will take it to autozone and I needed to get codes because my check engine light is on. And now I'm wondering if it's under recall, because the code P0456, evaporative emissions system and it says there's small leak or it's considered a small leak so I'm just wondering but if you guys can please tell what it could be that would be awesome
Issue with the fuel purge valve. After getting gas, check engine light comes on and vehicle will not start. Also, problems with the clutch. Vehicle stutters and stalls, as well as leaps while in gear.
Scan code P1450..according to Ford 1.28 million of this type vehicle had a faulty gas vacuum valve (?) that had to be replaced. Although I'm having the exact same problem the dealer has stated it's 'not their problem'.
My car has been having a issue staying on, it constantly has to get jumped after I pumped gas, while I was in the middle of driving the car cut completely off. I'm having a problem also reversing and acceleration, my car is not going past 10 miles. I only have 85000 miles
Evap purge valve went bad. There is a recall on focuses 2012-2018 for the purge valve but not my particular VIN. I have owned this car for 26 months. I don't expect something like this to go bad that soon. Repair not covered under the emissions warranty nor the power train. This defect caused my engine light to come on, the car to run rough and prompt several engin codes.
Check engine light is on. Service dept identified problem codes P1450, P0456 which are under recall but the VIN for my car is not under recall.

On fixed income, cannot pay for repair out of pocket. Please help. Thank you.
