Got a check engine light and after checking my Ford app, it says "your vehicle has detected a concern with the evaporative emission system." After some YT searching, this seems to be a common issue for Ford. Anyone else have this issue?

Purge valve. I changed mine a week or so back and no issues since.

Mine was stalling after filling up the gas tank. Was the purge valve. Got it replaced two weeks ago. No more issues. Took forever to get the part ordered at the dealership. 6 weeks.

Got mine back from the dealer today. Issue ended up being the fuel filler tube. They replaced the whole assembly from the filler cap to the gas tank

I'm having the same issue. My evap purge valve was replaced almost a year ago but the light kept coming on. Then it was a fuel sensor that was fixed in Sept. And now the light is back on again. Brought it in last week. They cleared it after having it for 5 days and didn't find anything. Light just came on again today. Ugh!

Dealer needs to perform a static pressure leak test. That’s how they found the issue with mine.

Thank you. I will be sure to ask for this specific test.

This is the third time I'm having to take my car in. I've had purge valve and fuel (something) replaced. Response I get it "there can be a long list of issues that trigger the light." That is great, what about the repeated inconvenience experienced having to take and leave my car. UGH!!!
