Caliper problems - 2009 Ford Flex
By Gail Johnson - July 4 - 9:05 pmI purchased this vehicle used from our local dealership. It had 24,701 miles on it. The second day of ownership, I came out of this driveway, a terrible squealing sound happened. I stopped and backed up as I thought I ran over a branch, and went ahead again. The car squealed off an on the rest of my route. I thought it was my brakes but service said they were perfectly fine. It still squealed but now I have a burning smell. Took it back and service said the left rear caliper was locking up and replaced it. Brought it back home parked it in the garage got out and smelled the burning smell again and the wheel was too hot to touch. Service has it again. Not happy.

Love My Flex! - 2009 Ford Flex
By Love My Flex!!! - June 14 - 12:28 amI have owned A LOT of vehicles from focus to excursion to expedition etc. and this is the BEST vech. I have ever driven I love the design inside and out. The comfort of the ride so smooth! I have two children aged 1 and 5 and it is perfect for them! My husband is 63" and he has plenty of room when he is driving or riding in the front or back. My flex has the bench seat in the second row that is what I preferred and I LOVE it! I traded in my Ford Freestyle. The gas mileage is GREAT we got 24 to 24.5 on the hwy and 20 - 21 around town! I Love the power trunk and sync just wish it was turn by turn directions. I did upgrade to the 911 asst. and vech. report. Thanks Ford Love MY Flex!!

Really Bummed - 2009 Ford Flex
By Brent Dyer - April 12 - 11:39 pmSo lets start with the brakes. Horrible brake sound when backing up. Grinding noise in the front. I took it in and they said I have to pay after 15k miles. Then the second time I took it in they said that the brakes were dirty. Horrible wind noise. Have major trans problems. Revs up to 6k rpm and I have to pull over and stop. (no, I did not touch the shifter). Took it in and they said nothing is wrong. I am taking it in again tomorrow for the 4th time in 5 months. I am tired of this and I dont have time to deal with this anymore. I am just going to be told that there is nothing wrong. Is anybody listening? I am very frustrated and no longer feel safe

"Hunk of Junk" - 2009 Ford Flex
By Natalie Dyer - April 12 - 10:58 pmI hate this car! I have had severe problems with the transmission as well as my brakes. Like always the dealer says nothing is wrong. I feel very unsafe in this vehicle and even though it is perfect for a family of 5- it is unsafe. I have had the transmission slip into low when I was on the fwy- my kids and I had to pull over and restart the vehicle to get it back into drive. The brakes continually grind. The dealer states they have dirt in them- once returned from the dealer it starts again. The brakes smoke and smell like they are burning. I would love to turn it back in to get my money back! VERY Disappointed.

Ooh..aww! - 2009 Ford Flex
By Crystal M - April 7 - 10:11 pmWe have only had our Flex about a month. So far we love it. We compared vehicles for over 6 months before buying. We love the space & all the luxuries. Everyone always ask to look inside. Too many compliments about this car. I hope the reliability is as great as all the features.

Smart Buy - No regrets - 2009 Ford Flex
By Jason - April 1 - 11:58 pmWe had a loaded Durango, which we loved, but it was totaled in an accident. Planned to buy a used Durango, but Fords offer was too good. My wife loved the Flex all along, I wasnt thrilled. I felt like I was ditching my "macho" Durango for a boxy station wagon. One year later, I couldnt be happier. Im 64" and we have two young, but tall kids. The Flex has way more passenger room than the Durango and has already payed off in the short and long run. Its also safer and gets way better Hwy and City MPG. At $2.85/gallon, it costs about $44-$45 and drives about 400 miles per tank. Thats better than my wifes Mazda6. We might trade it for a second Flex

Awesome Ride - 2009 Ford Flex
By Satisflexed - March 30 - 8:28 amWeve had our flex for over 6 months and we love it! initially my wife was little hesitant because but shes now a big proponent of the car. I cant tell you how many of her friends have said "I live your Flex". Personally I love smaller cars but I often take the wife car instead of my own car. The car if incredibly comfortable and the wife and my 4 kids are anxiously looking forward to our first long road trip. You know something is up when youre looking forward to along drive w/ 4 kids :-)

I love my flex! - 2009 Ford Flex
By Angela - March 24 - 1:27 pmWe just purchased the flex it is the best car we have ever owned we have 3 children and everyone is so comfortable and has there own space its just a fun ride, we recently went on a road trip and got 28 mpg of course this just depends on how you drive your vehicle we have never had any problems only routine maintenance for people who have had a lot of brake trouble its probably because they are rough on the brakes I would highly recommend the flex for any family also my husband and we still in our 20s and it doesnt make us feel old like a van does.

Great Family Hauler - 2009 Ford Flex
By Xico - March 10 - 12:51 pmI have owned this car for 8 months and my family and I have really enjoyed it. It is great for going on road trips or just daily errands/driver. Seats are very comfortable. Performance is adequate. Only issue so far is that cooling fan broke, but it was replaced promptly at the dealership under warranty. Trunk space is OK for a 7-seater, but you will probably need an external cargo holder if you load up the car with 7 people for the long haul.
