I am very angry. I owed this car less than two years and even bought the body wrap and powertrain bumper to bumper warranty yet the purge vale went bad. Ford calls it a valve yet the manufacturer of the part calls it a tube, so the warranty will not cover it. I see this very part is the same for the ford fusion for the same year, yet its not covered with a recall....why.

The vehicle stalled around 6 pm one evening, when trying to accelerate. Was able to get it back in driveway. 6 hours later tried to drive it again, and it stalled, on acceleration. Was able to get it out of the intersection and could not start the car again. Had it towed to the mechanics and they spent the day trying to recreate the problem and could not.
