Consumer Description

My gas tank system my engine light came on so I took my vehicle to the nearest auto zone to put on the machine and it popped up a code for a canister purge valve piece. My safety was put at risk because it was messing with my gas can’t fill my take up so I can get stranded really quick especially if I’m far from a gas station that offers my gas which is E85. No it haven’t I tried but ford claim they didn’t see no recalls in my vehicle but I have pics from other ppl of the recalls .my engine light came on I don’t remember the date but it was a while ago still didn’t get it checked out yet
