Vehicle stalls/loses power once fuel reaches below half tank of gas. Ford has issued tsb's on this very issue on many of their other engines, but I've been unable to find a tsb for this issue for my vehicle specifically. Here is the tsb for Ford Focus's with this issue: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2012-2018 Ford Focus vehicles with a 2.0L gdi or 2.0L gtdi engine. The canister purge valve (cpv) may malfunction, possibly causing excessive vacuum in fuel vapor management system. Tsb # 18S32. When pressure is being released from the gas tank via the fuel door opening, gas sprays out of the opening and goers stuck/hardened to exterior of car.
