Love the ride but the brakes... - 2009 Ford Flex
By lynnderlou - November 17 - 11:21 amI have 52k on the car and the rear brakes are having to be worked on again. They are telling me that it is the "elements", if Michigan driving is a problem for the brakes on this car they may have a few problems to work out! The rear parking sensor has stopped working, and is not covered under warranty, too many blind spots for this short girl to try and navigate blindly!Love the ride and comfort of the car but i think i will have to move on from my first and probably last ford vehicle.

Loved it and now would like it to stay out of the shop.... - 2009 Ford Flex
By stew2730 - April 23 - 7:52 pmTotally disappointed, I have previously posted two very flattering reviews of this car and now need to retract those as well as apologize to all who stopped me and asked me about this car. Have had my Flex for 2 1/2 years and have put 45k miles on it. About 10 days ago it began running hot, ended up being in the shop for almost 9 days. Have had the car back for 8 days and it started running hot in traffic on our way to dinner tonight. We had to park the car and hope it will still be there Monday so we can have it towed to yet another dealership! Going back to a Japanese car after this!

Great at first, Then just plain aggervating. - 2009 Ford Flex
By big_d1 - January 12 - 7:39 pmTons of room, decent power and very comfy. With about 100 miles the Sync system stopped working 4 trips back to the dealer until figured out. 8K The Rack & Pinion went bad and the car spent 3 days in the shop getting repaired. 10K terrible odor from under the dash (dealer couldnt replicate). 14K SMOKE from under the dash, took it straight to the dealer "we saw the smoke but couldnt find a problem" 16.5K Car lost all electrical power (incl PS/PB) with my wife driving So she pulled to the side of the road and it got towed to the dealer. If they tell me there is nothing wrong, Im getting a Venza.

Had to have it! - 2009 Ford Flex
By Gord - November 24 - 2:00 amI rode to work in a flex and it had plenty of leg room. My boss is 6,4" and I am 65". It is amazing that I can sit behind Im the second seat and still have lots of leg room. I have been looking for a vehicle for several years that was #1 roomy and got ok gas mileage. The end kicker for me was how quiet it is and wow what a smooth ride. Excellent job Ford.

Be careful of Stability control - 2009 Ford Flex
By Todd - November 16 - 2:00 amThe design and concept of this car is great. Unfortunately I have had to sell it over safety concerns. The cars stability control engages for no apparent reason and brings the car to a sudden halt. No one appears to be wiling to address the issue. I would be careful of a family based car that is potentially unpredictable.

Best Car Ever - 2009 Ford Flex
By Betty Farmer - November 7 - 1:00 amMy husband and I have been married 37 years and have always been Ford owners. The best purchase ever is the Ford Flex. We like to travel and the ride and comfort in the Flex makes the trip enjoyable and relaxing. Our family and friends have alot of precious memories spent together traveling in the Flex. We tell everyone how much we "love" our Flex and recommend it as a great car to purchase. I cant wait for Ford to offer another 0% financing on the Flex so I can purchase a new one to enjoy. I dont understand why Ford does not advertise the "Flex" because to me it is the best car on the road.

Brakes TSB - 2009 Ford Flex
By Cmac - November 4 - 2:00 amAll you guys having the brakes problems, if your car is still under warranty there is a few TSBs out there to fix the issue. They did it to ours about 3500 miles ago and have no issues since. We love the car, got it used with just over 8,000 miles on it, had the brake issue took it in and was fixed and havent had any issues at all since. Its a great family car and all the room is great for moving large items too.

Love My Flex! - 2009 Ford Flex
By Love this Car!!!! - October 13 - 2:00 amThis is an outstanding vehicle. The overall quality is excellent and the comfort is superior. We have had our Flex for a year and a half with absolutely no problems. The sync system and Sony stereo are great especially the IPOD USB connection as well as the cell phone interface. We moved about a year ago and I could not believe the amount of room in this car. I kept putting box after box in and it still took more. The heated front and rear seats, the console refrigerator and the head and leg room make this car the best on long trips.

Ongoing brake problems - 2009 Ford Flex
By wtex - September 13 - 2:00 amIn one year Ford has tried to fix brakes 7 times to no avail. The make grinding and rubbing noises when applied. Locked up one time on my wife. This problem is also present in Lincoln and Ford models because they all share the same brakes according to service manager .
