Car engine shut off while vehicle was in drive on the freeway, twice this hads happened. Causing me to coast with little to absolute no control over the acceleration/speed of the vehicle, again bother times car was in motion on the highway going approximately 65mph. Car sits and cools down after a time passes approximately 15 -30 min and car will start back up. All electronic components work as far as dash, lights, radio, etc. Please note there is a similar recall of the same make and year but different trim... also the complaints are very similar.

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.

Two months ago my car won't start. After some research I noticed the most likely cause of the problem was the fuel pump control module. Then I found out that Ford had issued a safety recall for the issue. I called the Ford dealership and the recall was for a different size engine. Last week I was driving home on the interstate going the speed limit of 70 mph and the car quit. The recall states "in the affected vehicles, the fuel pump control module could fail, which may cause an engine to not start or stall. In some cases, the engine could stall without warning while driving and without the ability to restart, increasing the risk of a crash." Https://media.Ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2016/08/24/Ford-issues-two-safety-recalls-and-one-safety-compliance-recall-.html. Now the Ford dealership wants to charge me $700 for the fuel control pump module just because the recall is only for a larger engine.
