Ford Flex 2009 Electronic Stability ControlFord Flex 2009 Electronic Stability Control Review #10263718 FORD FLEX 2009 car safety problem was reported on Mar 30, 2009.FORD FLEX 2009, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL . while entering a 4 lane divided highway from the driveway of a drugstore the electronic stability control (esc) indicator light on the dash of my 2009 ford flex began flashing and i could hear the buzzing of the antilock brake system (abs). the vehicle was traveling less than 15 miles an hour at the time so there was no risk of the vehicle going out of control. the application of the brakes by the esc/abs prevented the vehicle from accelerating which i believe created a safety hazard while trying to pull out into traffic on the highway. no crash occurred but there is significant potential for a crash. i disabled the esc via the switch on the dashboard which allowed me to accelerate but now i did not have the safety benefit of the esc. this occurred once yesterday, the car is new,i have owned the car for 4 days and it has accumulated less than 500 miles. *tr.Mileage was 400 miles.

Ford Flex 2009 EngineFord Flex 2009 Engine Review #10493676 FORD FLEX 2009 car safety problem was reported on Jan 20, 2013.FORD FLEX 2009, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with ENGINE . this vehicle experienced failure of both radiator cooling fans. the engine entered reduced power mode due to high temperature while my wife was entering a busy street. just prior to this the vehicle had been idling for approximately 10 or 15 minutes. temperature light did not illuminate until engine entered reduced power mode. check engine light did not illuminate. loss of power without warning could be very dangerous under certain conditions. after some research i have found that this is not an isolated incident. usually the first sign of a problem is the air conditioner blowing warm air when stopped and engine is at an idle. ford has the customer satisfaction program (#12b36) that is covering the repairs regardless of mileage for the same problem on 2011 and 2012 ford flex vehicles at no cost to owners. the 2009 and 2010 model years are excluded from this program. a letter was sent to 2011 and 2012 flex owners offering this repair. both fans have been tested and found to be inoperative. fan control module appears to be ok. i spoke to ford customer service today (case #[xxx]) 01/21/13, and they verified that the customer satisfaction program (12b36) is covering 2011 and 2012 model flex vehicles. an internet search shows that other models may also be covered. i believe this program should cover the 2009 and 2010 model vehicles for safety reasons or a maybe a safety recall should be considered. i will be purchasing a new fan assembly and installing it myself but have no way to reprogram the pcm to help prevent this from happening again. i will also take the vehicle to the dealer to have them inspect it before replacing the fan assembly as asked by ford customer service. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 70000 miles.

Ford Flex 2009 TiresFord Flex 2009 Tires Review #10568539 FORD FLEX 2009 car safety problem was reported on Mar 09, 2014.FORD FLEX 2009, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with TIRES . i purchased four tires approximately four months ago. in the last week, three of those tires developed bulges in them, which could've resulted in a blowout. i was concerned for my family and my safety because i drive the highway frequently, transporting my children to and from school. i immediately went to the shop where i purchased the tires. tire one was replaced with a road hazard warranty. i did not pay for the cost of another tire. just yesterday, two more tires were replaced for the same issue, a bulge. the shop manager told me it was due to road conditions such as potholes and there was nothing i could do about it and it would continue to happen as long as the roads are bad. later that same evening, my low tire pressure light came on and by the next morning, on the way to dropping my husband off to work, he noticed the tire just replaced the day before was flat. when i contacted the tire manufacturer, toyo tires, they said the same thing the tire shop said, indicating that it was due to road conditions. basically, that is just the way it is with that type of vehicle/tire design. i think some investigation should be done with the tires, as this does not sound normal. this is the first time i have ever had tire issues and i drive in treacherous climates all the time. *tr.Mileage was 95000 miles.

Ford Flex 2009 Reports
my 95 ford exploere engine surges when turn my air conditioner on Ihave a 1994 ford probe which has started to idle very low and stalls at times. It is a 4 cyl. w/ air and a 5 speed. any ideas? I replaced the fuel filter, air flow meter and added HEAT to gas tank to dry and clean fuel system. I think my pcv valv should a standard transmission truck start when it is in gear without the clucth engaged? should a 2005 standard transmission ford ranger start when in gear without the clutch engaged? 96 Ford F250 Emergency brake lever gets caught on the auto adjustment spring, causing brakes to be permanently engaged, also allowing the parking break lever to rub against the hub, which can cut through over time. try pushing the pedals button closer to you. you must have the pedal adjustment button to the left of the radio, looks like a foot, that brings the pedals more inward towards the driver. hope it helped. or look carefully if a wire has corroded. it i would check ur multi switch on ur stearing colum on the pedal whats the sound Just bought an '06 E-350 van. Left d'ship got on highway and noticed shimmy when I got to 60....same problem???? that happened to me last night! If you rock the car back and for while shifting then it should release the safety lock! why does it take turning off the veh. while pulling in on the shifter arm, them starting it again while still holding it inwards ever so slightly??
