FORD FLEX 2012 car safety problem was reported on June 08, 2012.FORD FLEX 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . there are several different incidences that have occurred. (1) while turning a corner or slowing down the a/c will shut down. (2) the control panel instruments will go all the way over to the right and then surge forward when turning a corner. (3) car has died on several occasions especially while trying to accelerate onto highway. (4) a/c will turn on by itself and blow on maximum even when power switch is turned off. (5) when car loses power, all codes are reset so dealer is unable to get a clear reason why car is doing this. we had a black box installed for two weeks with some results pinpointed but after it was "fixed" we continue to have the same problems. dealer connected a computer while we drove around block and the computer diagnosis was that we were pushing the brake and gas at same time...not possible! the reading was that the brake had been touched more than 2000 times while driving 20 miles. we have had this car in repair shop 8 times and no resolution yet. dealer said they would stand behind vehicle with an extended warranty at no cost while we tried to find problems but now warranty is up and they want us to pay for extended warranty. we were told by dealership that if we apply for lemon law that we would most likely lose the case and it would only cost us money. according to texas law...this car definitely qualifies~ we are waiting to hear from our attorney. i hope no one else buys this type of vehicle~ *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 8000 miles.

FORD FLEX 2012 car safety problem was reported on Aug 06, 2014.FORD FLEX 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with STEERING . traveling straight down a main, 2 lane road, the vehicle chimed and i received two errors on the diagnostic screen. first was for power steering assist fault and the second was advance trac fault. the power steering assist was disabled and the steering wheel had gone stiff. i was able to do a rolling restart (neutral, key off, restart, back into drive) without incident, the warnings on the dash cleared, and the power steering was restored. given any winding road or turning into or out of traffic scenario, this could have been much more treacherous. i felt i should bring this to your attention, as it appears this is a common situation, evidenced by an internet search..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 41600 miles.

FORD FLEX 2012 car safety problem was reported on Aug 30, 2014.FORD FLEX 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with STEERING . i was driving in traffic when a warning sounded and my dashboard displayed the message "power steering assist failure". steering became extremely difficult. i pulled into a service station and shut off the engine. when i restarted the engine, the steering problem had resolved itself. approximately an hour later, the same problem repeated itself. an internet search revealed that many other drivers of flex vehicles have experienced the same problem. i contacted ford and they said, while other ford models have been recalled for a similar problem, the flex is not named in any of their notices. at this time they said they have no plan for any follow-up action. because of the loss of steering control this is a safety issue that should be addressed before someone gets killed..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 56100 miles.
