  • Fuel Pump Control Module Failure Causing Stalling and Intermittent No-Start (Gen2 LSY)2021-2023

    Second-generation Envisions have a repeating NHTSA pattern of the fuel pump control module failing, producing an engine that dies without warning while driving and a crank-no-start afterward, or that only fires on 7-8 of every 10 attempts. Owners report no warning lights and no stored codes in several cases. One especially dangerous report describes the vehicle stalling in a center freeway lane where the electronic shifter would not allow neutral with the engine off, stranding the car in traffic. Failures are documented from about 11,000 miles, and replacement modules have been back-ordered for extended periods.
