2017 FORD ESCAPE — Complaint #1811353
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS:CANISTER filed May 6, 2022
NHTSA complaint #1811353 (ODI reference 11463685) concerns a 2017 FORD ESCAPE and was filed on May 6, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on May 5, 2022. The report was geocoded to Kentucky based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as fuel system, gasoline:storage:evaporative emissions:canister, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD ESCAPE cohort independently describe similar fuel system, gasoline:storage:evaporative emissions:canister failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2017 FORD ESCAPE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

I thought maybe I got bad gas so I cleared it but not permanently. I drove it for a few miles the check engine light did not come on. Then when I shut it off and turn it back on the check engine light came back on. I checked YouTube and Google where it seems that the purge valve is a common problem with these vehicles. In fact all the way back to at least 2013 from what my memory serves me today after watching a few videos last night. I have looked for parts for this particular component which will probably run around $85 and aftermarket at your local AutoZone. I prefer buying ma
