2014 Ford Flex: won't start

Filed Jul 22, 2026 · Fuel system · KS

Hello, I was driving my Ford Flex at 60mph yesterday with my 15 year old friend helping me move. The engine completely died for several seconds and continued running. That night the engine was idling rough which was a new symptom. Today, I made it to my destination and the car died, then it did not start after cranking. The Fuel pump module Aa8a-9d412-ca was faulty and now I am out $142+ from Ford to replace a part myself that is a known problem on the Ecoboost engines for this vehicle. This is a liability and I am seeking reimbursement for this known issue. Please issue a recall for this fuel pump module, everyone's safety is at risk that still has this faulty part installed that Ford has not addressed. Thank you for your time.

Approximately 2 months ago car would not start. Towed to dealer on Friday. Dealer evaluated it on Monday but car resumed starting. Retrieved car. This morning problem returned. Having already done a lot of research on this apparently common issue it seems most of the time it is the fuel pump control module located behind the plastic trim on the passenger side B pillar. A replacement part was acquired from a Ford Parts Dealer and installed into the car. Car starts and runs fine now.

My "fuel pump module" on my non eco boost 3.5 suddenly stopped functioning. The same module was recalled on the eco boost 3.5 engine. I had just driven 800 plus miles in two days and the engine worked perfectly. Two days later, it would not start, while parked in the driveway. A day later it started. A day after that it would not start, again while parked. I googled the problem and replaced the part, and it has worked perfectly ever since. It would have been a real issue if it had failed while driving through west texas during the sub zero freezing temps.

I was driving and the car stopped all of a sudden in the middle of residential street at 6 am and when I tried to re-start it, it would crank but would not turn over and start back up so I could move it. I had to push it out of the middle of the street. I had to have it towed to the shop and they said it was the fuel pump control module.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford flex. While the vehicle was parked, the engine would crank, but the vehicle would not start without warning. The vehicle was towed to pittsville ford (7155 friendship rd, pittsville, md 21850, (877) 760-5870), but the failure could not be duplicated. Months later, the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed back to the same dealer where the vehicle started up again without incident. When the failure occurred a third time, the contact disconnected the battery cable, waited a few moments, and the vehicle started without incident. When the failure occurred the fourth time, the same battery operation was not successful and the contact had to have the vehicle towed back to the same dealer. The contact associated the failures with the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v621000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was notified of the failures and verified that the VIN was not included in the recall and the vehicle was not under warranty. No further assistance was offered. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

2014 ford flex has a few recalls; my car didn't get the notification but are experiencing recall problems. My car won't start due to fuel module (fuel pump) that has been recalled. One thing we also complained about is gas mileage the car lost 20%-30% since 2017. Ford motor mandated us to take the car to the ford dealer only. Ford stated they would pay all costs 9/19/19; I also had to pay to have the car towed to the location. Now ford motor company stated they will only pay a small portion of the amount. The dealer has contacted me and stated that ford motor company will not pay anything. The part has been recalled on over 75,000 2014 ford flex. The car is currently at the dealer and they are putting pressure on me to pay for the repairs. A repair has not been made. Greg johnson at frittz ford riverside is the contact person there ‭+1 (951) 687-2121‬; ford motor company ‭+1 (800) 392-3673‬. We also had problems with defective breaks that also have recalls but supposedly our car was not affected but experienced the same issues as the people who received recalls notices for their vehicle.

Wife stopped and got gas, drove approximately 45miles, parked in the garage and wouldn't start the next morning..... I attempted several times to get it started, and determined it was a fuel issue. Searched the web and found several complaints regarding 2013-2015 flexs' with same complaint. Diagnosis was fuel pump relay, but not mine????

My flex wouldn't start even after a jumpstart; rendered a "starting system fault . Service department found a dead cell in the battery and the keys/fobs were unrecognized. So a new battery and 2 new keys and fobs are being reprogrammed for $881.00. The starting system fault seems to be common as of late.
