I was able to stop the vehicle safely but unfortunately, it didn't turn on again so it had to be towed to my house. After trying multiple times with no luck, i had it towed to the ford dealer for inspection and repairs. I know this defect is known by ford since some recalls have been issued but to try to repair the concern.…

Everytime i pump gas in my car and i turn it back on , it wants to die immediately. One time it took about 5 tries before it actually worked. I had just gotten the recall done for the fuel tank where it was reprogrammed so it can detect an issue with the canister purge valve. And now my engine hesitates to start.

The fuel pump has failed on my focus. The car just shut off while driving. Engine turns over but will not start. It was on a residential street. My car was built 7/14 which falls outside of the recall window which ends in may 20014. Its my firm belief it may very well be the same fuel pump issue the others are having. Have not made any repairs yet as this just happened last night 7/30/2019.
