In owners' own words
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. Fuel/propulsion system · reported at 104,500 miles
My vehicle was parked in my driveway, worked fine in the early morning to drive a few miles down the road and back. When I attempted to start the car again the vehicle would not turn on.
