2020 Explorer ST

Hi Everyone, New member here from Morgantown, WV. Recently picked up a 2020 ST in Atlas Blue with around 47K on the clock. Got a great price on it, everything runs fine. Haven't even made my first payment, and I'm having the following issues:

First fill-up after the dealer, car wouldn't start. Threw code P0456. I read up and replaced the Purge Valve Solenoid, which I've come to understand is a common issue. Now the car starts fine, however, the next fillup, the car decided to dump gas out into my driveway once I shut it off, and had fuel leaking everywhere inside the driver's side rear fender well. After about 100 miles, It's throwing Codes P0451, P0455, and P04F0. I disconnected the valve again completely to inspect it and make sure it wasn't incorrectly connected somewhere, only to find that gas had worked it's way all the way up into the new purge solenoid. If anyone has had these sort of issues, please chime in, as I haven't seen a lot of posts with the fuel spillage. My car doesn't fall under any recalls for fuel filler neck, etc, though I did find a TSB for Evap codes.

The dealer I bought this from is supposed to "work with me" on getting this fixed, as they're 3.5 hours away, and in a different state, but it's a frustrating issue to say the least. I inspected the car well, but not really something you can find on your average test drive. Anyway, other than that, I just had the paint corrected, and had ceramic coating and PPF installed, which turned out great. Thanks for having me!

Emissions is warrantied for 8 years 80,000 miles. My PCV just took a crap and the dealer picked up my truck fixed it and had it back in 4 hours with zero charge. Call the dealer
