THE PURGE CANISTER VALVE HAD A SAFETY RECALL LAST YEAR, WHICH THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY PERFORMED AND MARKED THE RECALL AS COMPLETED. HOWEVER, THE PART WAS NEVER REPLACED, AND IS IN FACT DEFECTIVE. WHEN FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS, IT DOES NOT WANT TO START AND STALLS OUT MULTIPLE TIMES. WHEN IT DOES START, IT RUNS ROUGH FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES. THE DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO FIX THE ISSUE WITHOUT CHARGING ME, DESPITE THE FACT THEY NEVER REPLACED THE PART.

CONNECTOR FROM BEING HIT BY WATER, BUT THE DEALERSHIP JUST PUT ON A BIG 350 AMP FUSE AND PUT THE CAR BACK IN SERVICE. THE FUSE BLEW DUE TO WATER INTRUSION. TREATED A SIDE EFFECT, NOT THE MAIN PROBLEM. THEY REFUSED TO DO WHAT WAS IN TSB 20-2004 & FSA 16B02. THE ATTACHED PICTURE SHOWS HOW CLOSE THE TIRE IS TO THE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY CONNECTOR! FORD KNOWS THIS, BUT NO RECALL, AND DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO FIX.
