Other Fuel System Pump Problems of Ford Flex - part 2

I parked the vehicle on the mall parking lot on mid-day of July 11, 2018 in cypress, CA. As I turned on ignition to start the engine, it failed to run. Immediately I suspected that the fuel pump is not supplying enough fuel to the injectors; I called Ford roadside assistance for towing service to the nearest Ford dealership. The service advisor will not cover this broken part -fuel pump control module because the recall only applies to the eco boost engine but not on my Flex which is naturally-aspirated. I left the car for two days which they cannot duplicate the engine failure, so I drove the car home which unfortunately failed to run the next day until today. What will I do with this Ford Flex for me to use?.

2 issues 1) the front passenger door though closed is read as a warning "door ajar". The warning stays on at all times. It drains the battery and I have replaced the battery once since owning the 2013 Ford Flex when purchased in 2016 with just under 20,000 miles on it. The interior lights stay on from starting the engine until accelerated speed. The interior lights after parked stay on for a minimum of 30 minutes though it could be longer contributing to draining the vehicle battery. 2) the vehicle began to feel as if it is pulled while in commute. Not starting right away or shuts down/stalls. It has stalled and not turned over though the lights and radio work. Fortunately this has happened after being parked in my parking spot. It will not turn over, but the next morning it will start. After reading about similar issues for other Ford Flex vehicles last week with my vehicle doing the above action I replaced the fuel pump relay module. Which is located in the rear passenger area between rear passenger door and furthest rear window where the seat belt pulls from I felt I had resolved the issue. However, a week exactly later I attempted to start my vehicle when the exact scenario happened all over again. Vehicle would not start, but lights and radio worked. Left alone overnight I went to start it this morning and it starts. Through out the duration of this issue of stalling, not starting, pulling while in motion as it feels like the vehicle is being jerked there is no check engine light or when checking system the only warning is passenger seat ajar.

Without warning the vehicle would not start. It would crank, but not start.

This time around, I had run a few errands after attending my child's school event, came home and attempted to start the car about one hour later. It was a warm day (around 88 degrees). I can't tell you how frustrating this is. With kids, I need.

In August 2017 our Ford Flex stalled and would not start. We were going about 35 mph on a country road. We had only owned it for a few weeks, having purchased it from varney Ford in newport, me. Had it towed to the dealer who kept it for two weeks and finally said it was fixed, blaming it on a broken shifter. He also reset everything by pulling a battery cable and his explanation sounded pretty vague. On Nov 19, the vehicle cranked but refused to start in a parking lot. I had it towed to my local garage who has been very good to us in the past. He quickly diagnosed the problem as a bad fuel pump driver module and replaced it. The car has been fine since. I wouldn't be reporting except for the fact that ecoboost Flex and taurus vehicles from the same year were recalled for failure of this module (NHTSA 16v621000, Ford recall 16s31). I believe that my vehicle suffered the same failure as described in the recall. I checked the part numbers at rock auto and both ecoboost and non-ecoboost list the same part number for the pump control module. As a lifetime service technician (biomedical, x-ray and computers) I believe this needs to be reviewed. Thanks for your attention.
