MY CAR IS AFFECTED BY THE SAME RECALL AS MANY OTHER FORD FLEX VEHICLES, HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED AS PART OF THE RECALL.

IT CRANKS AND ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO START HOWEVER IT WILL NOT START DUE TO THE LACK OF FUEL CREATED BY THE FUEL PUMP MODULE.

2013 FORD FLEX WOULD TURN OVER JUST FINE (BATTERY WAS FINE) BUT WOULD NOT START. IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING ANY FUEL (WHICH WAS THE CASE). FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT DRIVING AT THE TIME AS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SITUATION. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE (PART #AA8Z 9D370 B) WHICH IS UNDER RECALL FOR OTHER MODELS OF MY VEHICLE BUT NOT MINE. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET, THIS IS A PREVALENT ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED FOR ALL ENGINE MODELS (NOT JUST ONE).

2013 NA 3.5L FIRED FLEX FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE (PART # AA8Z 9D370 B) FAILURE HAS LED TO ME BEING STRANDED 3 TIMES AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL TWICE (ONCE WHILE IN MOTION). FORD HAS RECALLED THE 2013-2015 FORD FLEX WITH THE 3.5L ECOBOOST (TURBOCHARGED) ENGINE FOR THE SAME ISSUE (FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE FAILURE/REPLACEMENT), AND USES THE SAME PART IN BOTH VEHICLES (PART # AA8Z 9D370 B). VEHICLE FAILED TO START WHEN PARKED 3 SEPARATE TIMES, RESULTING IN IT BEING TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP TWICE. VEHICLE STALLED ONCE WHILE STATIONARY, AND ONCE WHILE IN MOTION WITHOUT WARNING. DEALER INDICATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE IS AT FAULT AND NOT UNDER RECALL. FORD OPENLY RECALLED THE TURBOCHARGED FLEX FOR THE SAME PART THAT HAS FAILED IN THE NATURALLY ASPIRATED VERSION THAT I HAVE.
