During the event, the engine shook noticeably and made abnormal noises. No check engine light appeared during this initial incident.  This problem occurred multiple times over several days, most often when the fuel tank was below approximately half full. Each time, I was able to temporarily restore normal operation by shutting the vehicle off, waiting about one minute, and restarting it. After restarting, the vehicle would drive completely normally until the problem occurred again.  A few days later, while sitting in my vehicle during a work break, I started the engine and it immediately entered limp mode without being driven. A check engine light then illuminated, and the engine stalled shortly afterward.  The diagnostic trouble codes retrieved were:  * P1674 (Stored, Pending, Permanent, and Enhanced) * U0100 (Enhanced ABS Code)  A mechanic familiar with Ford vehicles suggested the symptoms could be related to the EVAP canister purge valve issue that has been investigated on similar Ford Focus models. He recommended keeping the fuel tank above half full as a test. Since keeping the fuel tank full, the limp mode condition has not reoccurred.  I took the vehicle to a Ford dealership to have the purge valve issue evaluated. The dealership declined to perform any purge valve-related repairs because they believed the problem was transmission-related and stated the engine issue would need to be repaired first.  I am submitting this report because the vehicle unexpectedly loses power while driving, creating a significant safety hazard when traveling at normal traffic speeds.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FOCUS","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
