Pulling out from a red light my car stalled. No warning lights. 2 days later it would not start. Found it to be the fuel relay module that is recalled on other models but not mine.

I parked the car after work and the next morning it wouldn't start. No warning, no check engine lights or anything. I have to have the car towed to the dealership and find out 3 days later it is the fuel pump driver module. Why wouldn't I get any warning this was going out?

After trying to start my car this morning, the vehicle would turn over but wouldn't start. I learned of a recall that affected other 2015 taurus' for the fuel control pump module and replaced the part without any further issue. My vehicle however stated no recalls when searched by VIN. Vehicle was stationary in parking lot. No mechanical codes were showing either, vehicle would just turn over but not start.

I was parked in my apartment complex parkings. I was charging my phone in the car while the engine is off. The radio as well as the interior lights were on for approximately 45 mins. Then, I tried to start the engine, but it did not start. It was giving a weird sound that is scary to me, the owner. So, I left it as is for the night. I am now reporting this problem because when I entered my vehicle's VIN number, the website stated that it does not have any recalls in it. I know that 2015 ford taurus has this recall problem, but for some reason, my car is not included with these cars.
