Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND IS HARD TO START AFTER FUELING WITH GAS. AFTER TAKING IT TO FORD FOR RECALLS IN OCTOBER OF 2018 AND BROUGHT THE ISSUE UP AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME FOR DIAGNOSTIC. AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC SHOP FOR OIL CHANGE AND TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE OF STALLING, THEY MADE ME AWARE OF THE PURGE BALANCE NEEDING REPLACED AND THAT WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING. APPARENTLY, FORD KNEW THIS DEFECT SINCE 2013 AND PAID FOR REPLACEMENT IF A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. NOW INTO 2019, 93,000 MILES AND NO WARRANTY, FORD DOESN'T WANT TO ASSIST IN PAYING FOR THE REPLACEMENT. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR THE REPAIR. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE THE CAR STALL IN THE ROAD AND AROUND BUSY TRAFFIC.
