WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON BUSY ROAD, VEHICLE LOST POWER. ALMOST REAR-ENDED BEFORE BEING ABLE TO COAST INTO EMPTY PARKING LOT. WENT INTO LIMP MODE. COULD NOT ACCELERATE. VEHICLE MAINTENANCE INDICATOR WITH WRENCH CAME ON. TURNED CAR OFF. WAITED ONE MINUTE. CAR RESTARTED. NO INDICATOR LIGHT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED ON 6/18/19, I RESEARCHED AND FOUND A RECALL 16S31 FOR MODELS BUILT IN CHICAGO. MY VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP, THEY COULD NOT FIND AN ERROR CODE OR RECREATE FAILURE. I STILL HAD THEM REPLACE THE PART UNDER THE RECALL AT A COST TO MYSELF. PART WAS NEW FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. I FILED COMPLAINT 11220834 WITH NHTSA. MY FEAR IS THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND IF I AM ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE RESULTS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC.

CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR THIS SPRING. ONCE I WAS COMPLETING A TURN FROM A STOP THE OTHER TIME I WAS DOING A CONSISTENT SPEED OF ABOUT 40MPH. NO WARNING LIGHTS BEFORE OR AFTER, JUST A NOTIFICATION THE 'TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK' ONCE THE CAR WASN'T RUNNING. EACH TIME THE DEALER PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND SAID THERE IS NO ISSUE FOUND. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2013-1015 TAURUS HOWEVER MY VIN ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE FUEL PUMP ELECTRIC MODULE REPLACEMENT THOUGH STALLING IS AN ISSUE CITED IN THAT RECALL. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP ELECTRIC MODULE BECAUSE THE COMPUTER SAYS SO. I LEFT MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS THINKING IT MIGHT BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM SINCE THE GPS INTERMITTENTLY DOESN'T WORK THE PANIC ALARM GOES OFF MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK FOR NO REASON. DEALER SUGGESTS REPLACING THE SD CARD. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR, ESPECIALLY WITH THE DEATHS RECENTLY FROM CARS STALLING. I WILL MOST LIKELY PAY OUT OF POCKET TO CHANGE THE FUEL PUMP ELECTRIC MODULE AS I CAN'T AVOID THE HIGHWAY FOREVER. I WILL BE HAPPY TO SEND YOU THE PART ONCE IT IS REPLACED IF IT WILL HELP INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY THAT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM, OTHERWISE I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. HELP PLEASE! I DON'T HAVE POLICE REPORTS OR ACCIDENT PHOTOS THANKFULLY.
