2013 FORD FLEX Complaints

CAR JUST DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND THE STEERING SYSTEMLOCKS UP. THERE HAS BEEN A KNOWN RECALL FOR A FUEL CONTROL MODULE ON FORD FLEX, THERE IS ALSO KNOWN FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS WITH FORD MAKES AND MODELS. I HAVE LOST POWER TWICE. HAD AT THE MECHANIC LAST MONTH. COULD NOT GET IT TO DIE FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK IN THE SHOP. NOW IT IS DEAD IN A PARKING LOT AGAIN.

DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCH. THE LATCH REPORTS "DOOR AJAR" WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED, UNLOCKING ALL DOORS AT ALL TIMES.

THE REAR PASSENGER DOORS ARE SHUT ALL THE WAY, BUT THE CAR SENSES THEM AS OPEN AND KEEPS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON WITH A DOOR AJAR WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD. THERE WAS A TSB PERFORMED ON MY CAR FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT THE ISSUE HAS RETURNED. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. I HAVE TO TRY OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR TO GET IT TO SHOW AS SHUT. IT CAN CAUSE THE CAR ALARM TO GO OFF AT TIMES. THE WARNING CAN COME ON WHILE I'M DRIVING, LONG AFTER I SHUT THE DOOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FLEX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EVERGREEN FORD LINCOLN (1500 18TH AVENUE NW, ASSAQUAH, WA 98027) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING BELT WAS STRETCHED. SINCE THE TIMING BELT WAS DIRECTLY LINKED TO THE WATER PUMP, A NEW ENGINE WAS RECOMMENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

ID NUMBER 16V621000 ISN'T ASSOCIATED WITH MY FORD FLEX 2013 EVEN THOUGHT THE FUEL MODULE FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND LEFT US STRANDED

THE SENSORS ON THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR THINK THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN EVEN WHEN IT IS CLOSED. MY CAR ALARM GOES OFF CONSTANTLY, THE CHILD SAFETY LATCH WON'T ENGAGE, AND MY DOORS NO LONGER AUTOMATICALLY LOCK ONCE I DRIVE OVER 25 MPH. THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR EVERY 2013 FORD FLEX OWNER THAT IS ACTIVE ONLINE. FORD KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE AND ISN'T ADDRESSING IT.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN MAIN STREET WHEN MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE MEDIAN TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON, BUT IT STILL WOULD COULD I PUTTED ACROSS 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC. PARKED ON A SIDE STREET, TURNED IT OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A MINUTE. I RESTARTED AND IT DROVE FINE. IT DID THIS EXACT SAME THING 2 DAYS BEFORE. A YELLOW WRENCH APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD AS THE ISSUE IS HAPPENING, BUT IS NOT PRESENT ANY OTHER TIME. THE VEHICLE HAS AROUND 80,000 MILES ON IT. I AM CALLING FORD TODAY.

FUEL CONTROL MODULE FAILED LEADING TO VEHICLE FAILING TO START. ENGINE WOULD CRANK/TURN OVER BUT NO FUEL DELIVERED. DEALER DIAGNOSED AFTER VEHICLE WAS TOWED FOR SERVICE. FUEL PUMP DETERMINED TO BE GOOD AFTER BYPASSING FUEL CONTROL MODULE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT TIME OF FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FLEX. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE "POWER STEERING FAILURE" MESSAGE DISPLAYED AND THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED, WHICH MADE THE STEERING WHEEL VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (NASHVILLE FORD, 723 S. DAVIS ST., NASHVILLE GA, 31639) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE BOTH NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE MOTOR STALLING OUT AND NOT STARTING FOR DAYS. I'VEBPARKED AFTER FILLING IT UP AND PARKING IT FOR THE NIGHT. ONLY TO GO OUT IN THE MORNING AND NOT STARTING. THEN AFTER A FEW DAYS OF SITTING IT WOULD START.
