2019 FORD FLEX Complaints

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Flex. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving approximately 20 MPH, the traction control warning light illuminated, and the vehicle became difficult to steer. The contact met his daughter who had pulled over to the side of the road to inspect the vehicle. The contact noticed that both rear tires were toed outward. The rear passenger’s side tire was toed out more than the driver’s side. The vehicle was towed to the dealer but was not yet diagnosed. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,700.

The radio turns on even when the car is off and the keys are not nearby . Sometimes it turns off while driving and will be off for days at a time while other times it just comes on full volume while parked and unattended. Maybe an electrical issue ?

Back up camera not working; started flashing on/off, turning upside down, and now simply does not work; the beeping still works to let you know you’re close but the visual is not available. Not being able to SEE what is behind me is a safety issue as well as not being able to see how close I am to objects. I have taken my Flex to Tim Short Ford Dealership in Morehead, KY where the problem was reproduced. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representative. The warning message that the camera is not available appears when the vehicle is put in reverse. It began approximately 6 months ago.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Flex. The contact stated that the rear-view camera failed to operate as needed. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer where she was given an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and agreed to cover only half of the cost of a replacement camera. The contact stated that parts for the repair were ordered; however, the parts for the repair remained on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

REAR backup camera has upside down view. Tried various remedies (reset, and battery disconnect) to fix issue but when vehicle is put into reverse camera has view that is upside down. Dealer says camera and soft ware needs to be replaced but is not covered under vehicle warranty. I see Ford is now recalling other models with the same issue. Can you let me know if the 2019 Ford Flex will be recalled for the same camera issues?

The backup camera is flashing on and off when in reverse. Once it do stay on the video is cloudy, pixilated and flipped upside down. It also stays black screen for a bit then pops back on.

The Rearview Camera has gone out, for which they have sold so many that the dealers cannot get replacements. This should definitely be Recalled like the many, many other Ford Rearview Camera Recalls! Note: Vehicle has less than 25,000 miles on it.

Rear back up camera works intermittently. Dealer inspection determined that the camera needs to be replaced. Vehicle is only a couple years old.

Backup Camera functions intermittently. This began at approx 37k miles and 25months of age (vehicle built in June 2019). Backup camera may work, or not, when the vehicle is put in to reverse. This is very similar to the behavior described in other Ford backup camera recalls for other vehicles. Seems like the 2019 Flex should be added. This poses a danger when backing the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Flex. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 MPH, the steering wheel suddenly jerked to the left causing the vehicle to fishtail and cross the median line. After regaining control of the steering, the driver was able to safely park on the side of the road.

The vehicle was towed to the local dealer was diagnosed that the rear toe link had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 39,150
