“The door latch chrome has delaminated and acts like a razor blade severely cutting my finger. This is the second time that this has happened. It occurs when I am opening the door and the chrome detaches from the latch and cuts.”
NHTSA complaint #11403044, filed 2021-03, 24,000 miles“My 2017 Ford Fiesta has a malfunctioning canister purge valve. I am having the same exact problem for which the 2018 Ford focus cars were recalled. My car is only 2 & 1/2 years old and it is stalling after I fill it up with gas. After filling up at the gas station, it will not start on the first try. It starts on the second, third, or fourth try. The check engine light is on now as well. The dealership says it is not covered by my warranty. I have 56,000 miles on it. This car needs to be recalled. They will not pay for the costly repairs due to their faulty purge control valve. …”
