I have a 2016 ford fiesta this model car does not come with a gas cap. I've noticed after I filled my car up with gas my car stutters and stalls out and sometimes doesn't start right away this goes away after 3 or 4 times is starting the car back up I took it to the dealership and they told me that my purge valve for the ford fiesta was defective I've already had this repaired and believe this repair has fixed the problem I've read of other people of the same year make and model having similar issues apparently…
