What owners wrote
Back in 2018, 1.3 million ford focus vehicles were recalled due to a fuel purge valve. Who's to say the same issue is starting to occur again, but to the ford fusions? My 2017 ford fusion that I purchased 6 months ago has this issue. It is a major safety concern! On my way to work in the middle of the highway, during morning traffic, my car decides to turn off causing a accident, but luckily nobody got hurt!
