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.

THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURES WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V621000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE).

WHEN PUTTING ON A STEERING WHEEL COVER. I NOTICED WHEN I HELD THE STEERING WHEEL FROM 12 AND 6 THE WHEEL FELT LOSE. NOT FROM THE ADJUSTING PART BUT THE WHOLE STEERING WHEEL IT SELF WAS SOME WHAT LOSE NOT TO FALL OFF BUT JUST LOSE.

CAR STALL AND WOULD NOT START. REPLACED FUEL PUMP AND WORKING AGAIN BUT MY BIN WAS NOT LISTED UNDER THE RECALL FROM WHAT I CAN SEE RODORS WARPED 3 TURNS. REPLACED BREAKS TWICE WITHIN 10,000 MILES.

WE HAVE A 2014 FORD FLEX WITH 41,000 MILES. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TWO DAYS AFTER GETTING HER OIL CHANGED AT GALPIN FORD AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. SHE CALLED THEM AND THEY SAID TURN OFF THE CAR AND WAIT A MINUTE AND IT WILL RESET IT SELF. SHE DID THAT AND IT WORKED. TWO DAYS LATER IT WENT OUT COMPLETELY SO SHE TRIED TO TURN IT OFF AND ON AGAIN THAT'S WHEN THE STABILITY LIGHT WENT ON AND SAID IT NEEDS SERVICE. THE PERSON AT FORD TELLING HER HOW TO RESET IT TELLS ME THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. THEY WANT ME TO SPEND OVER TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN!!!!!!! THEY WON'T EVEN COME GET THE CAR TO DIAGNOSE IT. THEY WANT ME TO HAVE IT TOWED OR DRIVE IT TO THEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FLEX. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND MAKING TURNS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SQUEAKING NOISE EMERGING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BLUEBERRY FORD (241 DUBLIN ST, MACHIAS, ME 04654, (207) 255-4747) WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DARLING'S FORD VOLKSWAGEN AUDI (403 HOGAN RD, BANGOR, ME 04401, (207) 941-1330) WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS24223378. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

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.

WHEN AT IDLE THE FLEX BEGINS TO ACT AS IF IT IS GOING TO STALL THEN IT DOES. WHEN I RESTART IT CERTAIN ELECTRIC FUNCTIONS DISABLE. MY CAR IS AT 54K MILES NOW BUT WE HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT WAS AT 32K. I FIND IT EXTREMELY COINCIDENTAL THAT THE SAME YEARS ECO BOOST ENGINE IS HAVING A PROBLEM AND WAS ISSUED A RECALL BUT NOT MY NON ECO BOOST V-6 DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL.
