Ford Flex 2011 Seats Review #10379252

FORD FLEX 2011 car safety problem was reported on Nov 17, 2010.FORD FLEX 2011, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SEATS . a friend of mine recently purchased a 2011 ford flex. upon bringing it home we decided to let my children inside the vehicle to "check it out" as my older son would say. when my youngest son, 18 months at the time entered the second row of the car, he went to reach for the seat belt( trying to be cool like his brother who was already buckled and on a pretend road trip)and accidentally bumped against an automatic seat fold button which caused the seat back to flip down hitting him in the face, knocking him into the back of the driver's seat and down onto the floor where the seat continued to fold. this has happened 2 times before my friend decided to disconnect the switch himself. luckily there were no major injuries, only a bitten tongue, a red mark on his forehead and after the second time( which was not as forceful due to the fact that the seating folding onto him the first time had weekend the motor a bit) however now he does have a slight fear of getting into the car. i think the automatic seat feature is not what caused this, but the placement of the button itself which is right alongside the 2nd row seat where it is easy to accidentally push it, easy enough for my 5 year old to reach while seated and belted in(the button can be activated with door open or shut) if they can't change the placement of the button they should at least be outfitted with some type of flip cover you have to open before the button can be pushed preventing things like this from happening. *tr.1 person(s) were injured.

Ford Flex 2011 Engine

Ford Flex 2011 Engine Review #10617299

FORD FLEX 2011 car safety problem was reported on Mar 01, 2011.FORD FLEX 2011, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with ENGINE . engine had massive top engine detonation (backfire) with only 7500 miles on new car. ever since this event the car shudders, stammers, shakes and does not want to accelerate smoothly. the problem varies in daily severity and is always worse in wet, heavy moisture periods. i have taken the car to five (5) different ford dealerships and they all say there is no problem because there are no codes indicating a problem. one of the ford dealerships went to great lengths to fix the car but to no avail. they rebuilt the transmission because they thought it was a failure to downshift. they later replaced three different sensors on this ecoboost engine (they said there are 33 different sensors) and this actually gave temporary improvements, but this was also in the very dry dallas summer. as soon as i drove back across arkansas to tennessee the car was as bad as before. this car actually gets 14.2 miles per gallon combined driving and it was rated at 18mpg (16city and 21highway). the car averaged 18.6mpg for the 7500 miles prior to the problem. i have put up with this problem for over three years but i have learned to not drive the car in the rain. there are other family cars that i can drive or i would have pulled my hair out. this problem was elevated to ford customer service on several occasions (4 or 5 different times) and they never took ownership of the problem or the process. there appears to be a firewall established between the ford technical group and ford dealership service departments. several service people complained that they could not contact ford technical people directly and that it required a failure code entry into the service system without solution to facilitate contact with technicians and engineers. no code no problem! i sure am glad they have a code for every situation!.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 7500 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):AFMHK6DT1BB. Ford Flex 2011 problem was reported in LAFAYETTE, TN. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 25 mph.

Ford Flex 2011 Unknown Or Other Review #10621037

FORD FLEX 2011 car safety problem was reported on Aug 02, 2014.FORD FLEX 2011, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . automatic/motorized rear hatch failed.....motor opened hatch to full normal extension and then slammed down with nothing to slow it down...narrowly missing my 5 year old child. was told shocks failed as well as hatch motor.... so nothing in place to slow down the fall. typically if motor goes out...shocks are there to slow it down. dealership surmises that shocks were probably already "out" and the motor has been controlling the hatch on its own, without the assistance of the shocks. "don't know shocks are bad until motor goes out"..resulting in nothing holding it up. extremely dangerous and could have easily injured my child if i hadn't reacted so quickly. ford claims they have never had any complaints, but would investigate. i had just purchased the car "certified" 2 months ago. not something they check during certification process. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 36000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2FMGK5CC9BB. Ford Flex 2011 problem was reported in YORBA LINDA, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
