 Description of the problemI have had nothing but problems with this car and have only owned it since july of 2014. The computer module in my transmission has already had to be replaced due to shuddering, gears shifting incorrectly, and eventually dying while driving. Now my car is in the shop, again. This time for code p0456, which relates to the purge valve canister and evap system. A few weeks ago, i noticed my check engine light came on and had someone run my codes. Whenever i put gas in the car, it takes several tries before my car will start. I have to pump the gas while starting the car in order for it to actually start. After i get gas, the car will sometimes die while i am driving... Which has happened while i was driving on the highway in the middle of rush hour traffic. This will cause a major accident for someone some day... Maybe even a fatal accident. The fuel gauge also started reading incorrectly at the same time. I will have a 1/4 tank of gas, but it will register that i have 3/4 full and is only momentarily corrected when you turn the car off and restart it. I have researched many blogs and forums and have discovered that many focus owners are having the same exact problems with these issues. My car is in the shop right now and i am waiting for them to call with the final diagnosis. It isn't right for ford to know that they have faulty cars out there and not pay to fix the problems. Ford needs to recall this.
