Description of the problem	While driving down interstate 75 south at 70 miles per hour, car set on cruise control, the car lurch forward. When trying to resume speed the gas pedal did not respond coasted through a lane of traffic to the side of the road where the car died. Unable to restart the vehicle was towed to the nearest ford dealership matthew curry in nokomis. After three days of sitting ford decided to look at the car and quickly determined the problem was a purge valve sticking causing a vacuum in the gas tank which caused the tank to collapse and damage the fuel pump. It was easy to recognize because they have seen this same situation many times on the focus model. A documented recalll has occurred in australia and new zealand over this very same issue ford a us manufactured car yet no recall in the us. I can find more than 100 reports online regarding this same situation in the us but ford will not take any responsibility. I have spoke to corporate where they issued a case/claim # 14636968. They then advise me to call the service manager who says he sent everything to corporate then given the run around. I have called chevrolet and honda they don't seem to have a problem with gas tanks collapsing. Ford step up and take responsibility for this faulty system. I am grateful we are safe this malfunction while driving 70 on a busy florida interstate during rush hour could have ended much differently.. Ridiculous flawed product
