I was driving down a very busy highway about 60 mph when my oil light started flashing on my dash and my check engine light came on and when I tried to push my brake pedal to stop my car I couldn't push it in. My brakes were very hard, I had to pull my emergency brake to stop my car and coast into a gas station so I didn't hit anyone. I have done a lot of research online and this same issue is already under recall on 2 other Ford Models as well as a class action lawsuit against Ford because of this issue. My model however is not listed under the recall because it has a manual transmission and they said that those models are not affected but that's clearly not true.

Currently, at 59K Cylinder 1 and Cylinder 3 misfire because coolant gets in both cylinders, diagnosed by a local car mechanic! When driven, the car is a fire hazard!!! I’ve submitted a claim to Ford Motor Company [XXX], and they replied they don’t have a program that can help me! Next, I took the car to Ford's authorized service, Ted Britt Chantilly, VA. The car stayed there 11/7-11/21. According to them, the problem was only a cracked spark plug near cylinder 3. After I paid the diagnostic fee plus the repair cost. The car started exhibiting the misfire problems within the first 10 miles driven. The car was returned to the Ford Service department the next morning 11/22. The OBD reader at Ted Britt Chantilly, VA showed a misfire, this time in cylinder 1 and cylinder 4. My car is at Ted Britt Chantilly, VA for a second time since 11/22/.

I was involved in a MINOR motor vehicle accident. 9/21/2022 during the accident my 2017 ford fiesta suffered considerable damage(which I was ticketed for, they said wreckless driving.. I wasn't speeding and I have police reports to back this up). The car did its job and no one was substantially hurt. When I got a chance to look at the car further I noticed the passenger side motor mount(plate not the entire mount) exploded during the crash and allowed the engine to be pushed back. On that side. After retrieving the pieces that remained, there was a clear issue with the part previously mentioned. There is obvious gas porosity in the cast aluminum part. The car has since been brought back to running and driving condition. My over all concern is people potentially being charged criminally over what could be a manufacturing flaw. If the mount plate had held the damage my car received would have been considerably less. I'd like to also note I stopped at my local ford service center to inquire about this aswell. And he recommended I get in contact with ford(manufacturing) I tried by phone and that's almost impossible. I've attached photos for reference

MY 2017 FORD FIESTA HAS A MALFUNCTIONING CANISTER PURGE VALVE. I AM HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM FOR WHICH THE 2018 FORD FOCUS CARS WERE RECALLED. MY CAR IS ONLY 2 & 1/2 YEARS OLD AND IT IS STALLING AFTER I FILL IT UP WITH GAS. AFTER FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION, IT WILL NOT START ON THE FIRST TRY. IT STARTS ON THE SECOND, THIRD, OR FOURTH TRY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON NOW AS WELL. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED BY MY WARRANTY. I HAVE 56,000 MILES ON IT. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE COSTLY REPAIRS DUE TO THEIR FAULTY PURGE CONTROL VALVE. THE 2017 FORD FIESTAS NEED TO RECEIVE THE SAME RECALL THAT THE 2018 FORD FOCUS CARS DID. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM! (I DO NOT KNOW IF THE EVAP SYSTEM IS CONSIDERED TO BE UNDER POWERTRAIN OR FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM.) *TR

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.
