What I would do, and don't know why the dealership didn't do it, but when I worked for Lincoln and had problems like your, we installed what we call flight recorder on the car and when it occurs you press a button to record what the ECM is doing.
Might want to ask for recorder.

I just did a thread on the starter conn and the grounds Monday.

If you check tightness/cleanliness yourself, please hear this caution: DO NOT attempt to check tightness on the starter solenoid with the battery connected. The wrench will certainly short to ground. Same holds true for the engine ground conn right above the starter G106. There, you'll likely short to the starter solenoid terminal.

This has happened to others (about the backorder on fuel pumps). You hopefully are not stuck disassembled in a dealership back room. Go aftermarket on the pump; otherwise, you'll be laid up for an unreasonable time.

Rockauto.com did have the pump in stock last time I checked..They also had Delphi pumps which were GM suppliers in past years.. Delphi makes good parts if they don't have the AC Delco in stock......

The true high pressure fuel pump is in the left driver's side, the right is really only used to transfer fuel to the left at a slower rate.

I'm really not thinking that the fuel pump is the true issue here. Usually the pumps just start dropping in pressure, not just quite all of a sudden and work again.

I've read and here of some people replacing the fuel pump unnecessary because they had other issues with the delivery of electrical power of sorts. Hopefully the dealer check that pump issue with certainly that it is the pump and nothing else.

Interesting, my '08 just up and died pulling out from a light two weeks ago. Dash went dark and no juice.
Coasted to a stop and car magically came back to life.
happened at least 3x that day in a 200 mile ride. It even wiped out the clock and presets so that's a definite electrical issue.
Battery is a Bosch on it's 2nd year of use and the car sits on a battery tender (last year a Schumacher and this year a battery tender brand).
Haven't had a chance to play with the car but it sure seems like a defect in the battery... did check the terminals and they are tight though one does have a lot of corrosion around it.
I'll have to run the OBDII diagnostics on it and see if I can pull any codes.

A while back my 08 did the same thing to me. What went wrong was the wiring harness, at the starter solonoid(SP) the wires burned through inside the harness wrapping, close to the nut where it hooks to the solonid. Just stopped every thing until it cooled down a bit.. Hope this helps..
