When my fuel tank is filled the vehicle won't start and while driving the vehicle will stall out. The code on the check engine light comes back as P1450. This is telling me the canister purge valve needs replaced. After researching online I see this is a common problem for the 2013 Ford Fusion.

No warning light. Rpm’s surge high, low then engine shuts off while driving or idle. I could be in the middle of an intersection and my engine will shut itself off. Major safety issue and this car needs to be recalled. Happens even after taking it to the dealer “fixing” the “problem.” I’m not sure they even know the issue. They just try replacing things for a short term fix yet still having issues long term.

The car would stop after the warning of over heating so the car would just shut down go into what is called limp mode was told that is to protect the engine so we was told that in order for them to check we first had to purchase ford parts to get it started which we did but about 30days later same problem took it back they charged me another fee to put on the diagnostic machine which we did. That still didn't take care of the problem this went on from April 2021 well in May received a recall for the coolant system on this car make and model made appt took it in well they failed at fixing this with the car having to be left there weeks at a time it is still there they couldn't repair it they now are saying it is the engine do we want it repaired I don't no how when they can't even fix what it was there for now all of a sudden it's on me and the agent that called first said the transmission they have no clue they are just trying not to be responsible for this car even towing company knows where to take the car I have been put down all over town. This has been a nightmare I am afraid of the car and no trust with the people that's fixing the recall because they don't know how.

Lug nuts on wheels are swollen and cannot be removed with the wrench provided with the vehicle. This prevented me from being able to remove my flat tire and install the spare. I was forced to drive the car with the deflated tire to a mechanic in order to get it forcefully removed. This represented a dangerous situation
