Focus 4-cyl

  • 40,000 miles
I was sent a letter of recall Dec 2018 for my 2015 Ford Focus, reference 18S32; NHTSA recall 18V-735; I promptly took my car into autonation Ford katy tx for repair, on Dec 22 2018, warranty claim invoice# 981353 at this time PCM was reprogrammed and it checked ok. On Oct 30 2019 my car was at half tank of gas, and it stalled out repeatedly, and engine light remained on. I took it back in. Im concerned that: 1) the repair was not effective 2) I need a calibration & inspection on the powertrain control module; ref recall 19S22N 3) my cpv valve was never replaced, as Ford did not have the part avail at time of recall Dec 2018. My car is showing all symptoms of cpv and or PCM failure..I cannot let my gas tank go till half full or below, or it surely stalls and engine light is on, also the low idle is V rough, classic cpv or pmc failure symptoms [xxx] cell [xxx] work phone [xxx] my dealer claims my cpv is fixed and I do not have right to recall 19S22N this is just wrong, in my opinion, it was never fixed, replaced in the beginning.
