13 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 04/05/2019

I attempted to start my vehicle in my garage. Motor would crank but not start. I knew it was a fuel issue, so I googled the problem. I came across an issue with the fuel pump relay on 2013-2015 Taurus, flex, and inteceptors. Mostly related to law enforcement vehicles and civilian super charged engines that had a recall for this fuel pump relay modular. My Taurus is only a sel, and I saw where many other people were having the same issue with their everyday 2013-2015 Ford vehicle. These people replaced their own fuel pump relay module and fixed their problem. I decided to try it myself. Sure enough; I, a single mom on a very fixed income, gets a ride to my local auto parts store, buys the fuel pump relay module for $75. 00, install the part myself, and it worked like a charm! there needs to be a recall on all of these 2013-2015 Ford Taurus's so people like myself and the other few I came across online can get our money back, and prevent others from having to go through the panic of having only one vehicle (that should be very dependable) that won't start. I called Ford and they told me they would not issue any recall, the recall had to come from NHTSA. I am truly hoping that someone at the NHTSA will address this issue ASAP.

26 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 09/25/2017

I drove my car just fine on Sunday. When I got in the car to go to work Monday morning, the engine would crank, but it wouldn't start. So I called my mechanic who came over with a machine. They found that fuel was not getting to the engine although I had half a tank of gas. There is no kill switch on my model car, for them to reset thinking I had hit a bump and somehow set off the theft feature that kills fuel to the engine when my car thinks it being stolen(?). They were able to bypass something to get the car to crank which determined the fuel pump was in working order. They were looking for the fuel pump control module when we found the NHTSA #16v621000, which shows the 2013-2015 Ford Taurus models (which I have), "a component within the fuel pump electric module (pem) may overheat causing a loss of electrical power to the fuel pump. I recall recently that while I was driving one day I could smell something burning, an electrical wiring smell, but since my car still ran didn't think anything about it. When you type in my VIN, this recall does not show up, but when you enter the year, make and model it does show up. I strongly urge the proper people at Ford to look into this. I thank jesus that my vehicle didn't stall while driving.

27 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 06/19/2017

2014 Ford Taurus recall: my car wouldn't start after being parked, I replaced the battery, and it still would not start. No check engine lights or warnings came on. I was checking online and found that there is a recall out for my make model & year of car for a fuel pump control module malfunction but didn't include my VIN. I got it towed to a local auto shop and diagnosed and this was specifically the issue. I had to pay out of pocket because my VIN# hadn't been inclusive of this recall. I need to get my VIN added, my car had the same problem as the ones covered, so I can get reimbursed.

30 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 01/03/2017

My car was driving fine on Monday night with no problems noted. On Tuesday morning upon getting ready to leave for work, my car stationary sitting outside the house. I tried to use the push button to start the car as I always do but the car only made starting noises, it never cranked. At first, I thought maybe my battery was dead but it is getting charge. It wasn't the key fob malfunctioning either. I tried multiple times to crank the car but it will not start. The gas gauge showed a low fuel light so gas was added just to make sure that it wasn't too low to register. That did not work, either. I believe something is wrong with the fuel pump as there is a recall out on other cars like mine.
