What owners wrote
This problem initially surfaced with less than 2500 miles on the vehicle. Immediately after refueling my vehicle, the engine would stumble and sometimes stall completely, while at a stop and with the engine idling. The ford dealership determined the problem to be a faulty evaporation canister purge valve in the fuel system. The amount of fuel I added to the tank did not seem to matter as each time I did so, the engine would stumble or stall within 1-2 minutes following the fill-up.
My 2015 ford fiesta stalls out every time after I get gas. It takes a couple of tries to get it started up again. Once I do get it started it does drive jerky while stationary and in motion, and seems like it is going to stall out. After about driving for 15 mins most of the time my car goes back to driving normal until I get gas again. I recently saw the ford focus has been recalled for a fuel tank problem which caused it stall out after fueling, this sounds very similar to my problem with my ford fiesta.
