Explorer2217: I agree with KKRISKAC and with Blwnsmoke. I've had a very similar situation with "filling" (not partial filling) the gas tank. What was happening was the Purge Valve Vapor Canister Solenoid was defective on a GM product. Same symptoms. In fact sometimes it actually wouldn't even start after a fill or extremely hard start. Most likely Ford already is aware of the issue and there may be a Tech Service Bulletin out on it. I'll bet this one is going to be a fast fix and you'll be fine! That part by the way is emissions related and its possible it could be a sensor tied into that part.
That happened to me once but it was actually opened when I was briskly walking to the grocery store entrance and the key fob button was in my pocket with my wallet. The button accidentally got pushed and the hatch actually opened and set off the alarm and message on FordPass app. I'm glad it did because I would've been shopping with my hatch open the whole time.
Seemed to be that way for a while, but my local PetroCan reinstalled the holding clips just after COVID started. Very nice to have.
Hello! My 2020 limited needed a brand new camera and all the wiring plus a new fuel pump and fuel pump sensor, different warning lights though (check engine and wrench light). Mine also had less than 2,000 miles. If you search the NHTSA you can read allllllllllll about the different types of problems people are having. Whatever it is, take it to a place that does warranty repairs and also will give you a free loaner. Mine was taken apart for two full weeks. Best wishes.
Mine was at the dealership for 4 days this past week for the fuel pump. There were no warning lights when it stalled and wouldn't start.
I routinely gas my work Transit and my Explorer with the engine running. I don't know why that would make a difference.
That is one reason. The tank develops a suction pressure for the pump, you can cause a check engine light to come on.
I had a similar problem with my 2013 Edge Sport. After filling up it had problems starting and would run rough for a few minutes. Turns out I was over filling the tank by topping off. Apparently, I you top off the tank and cover the breather vent these issues can arise. Good luck.
It is a big safety issue. In Canada engines must be turned OFF when gassing up. IT's the law. It is also a good thing to do since a car could potentially build up static electricity and ignite fuel vapours. With it running it also increases the chance of a spark.
I appreciate the reply but where the heck did you get the idea I was going to work on it myself?
Well the fact that you posted here for help kind of leads people to believe you're trying to fix this yourself.I appreciate the reply but where the heck did you get the idea I was going to work on it myself?
