Consumer Description

DRIVING DOWN VERY BUSY STREET AND VEHICLE STALLED AS I PULLED UP TO TRAFFIC LIGHT AND CAME TO A STOP. AS MANY AS 3-4 TIMES I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED WHILE TRYING TO GET VEHICLE STARTED. PROBLEM SEEMED TO ONLY OCCUR WHEN FUEL TANK IS BELOW 1/2 TANK AND I WOULD NOTICE FUEL FILL PORT FLAPPER VIBRATING AND SUCKING AIR INTO FUEL TANK. THE FORD FOCUS HAS THIS RECALL ON THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE, WHY NOT ON A FORD ESCAPE. SAME PART USED ON BOTH. THIS PROBLEM WENT ON FOR TWO WEEKS BEFORE I COULD GET VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP.
