  Comfort and style - 2009 Ford Flex
  By DanP - January 3 - 7:53 pm

  As an auto repair tech for over 30 years Ive driven a lot of fine vehicles but none have been as nice as the Flex. By the way I currently work in a Nissan dealer. The only issue was brake noise. Ford has a repair avalible. Other reviews that said the dealer wouldnt fix their problems should find another dealer. All good auto dealers take care of their customers. So far the Flex has been a wonderful vehicle. The fuel mileage is good. the ride is smooth and quiet, but best of all love it or hate it the styling turns heads. Nothing generic.

  Really nice car! - 2009 Ford Flex
  By Chris - December 28 - 4:22 pm

  We bought this in may with my wife really not sure, but after driving it and fitting our 4 children in with them all in car seats, she now loves it. It has space to spare with all the kids and the ride is very comfortable.

  Fantastic Alaskan SUV - 2009 Ford Flex
  By Jeremy - November 30 - 9:30 pm

  I have had this vehicle a couple of months now and have really enjoyed owning it. I previously had a Ford Freestlye and it seems the 3rd row leg room was a bit more than my new Flex. This is not an issue for the 6 passenger Ford Flex due to the 2nd row seats slide forward. The 7 seat configuration does not allow the 2nd row to move forward. Transmission shifted roughly in low gears. Buying a K&N Airfilter fixed that problem and now have smooth shifting with no problem. I think Ford should include a K&N Airfilter from the start to avoid the rough shifting transmission I experienced with my new Flex. I live in Alaska and the AWD system has been flawless in the snow and ice!

  Lemon in the Making - 2009 Ford Flex
  By Jim Stewart - November 25 - 2:51 pm

  I have the brake grinding noise and Ford has no solution. If you live where there is humdity, water or salt in the air, you will have the problem. Ford and the Dealership(Kelly Ford) in Melbourne, Florida have no solution. I am working on the lemon law process, do not buy this car. Besides the noise, the stopping distance is affected. Also, if you go to look at one, lean on the door and watch the metal bend, very cheaply made!

  Follow up to my former review. Problems fixed now brakes are grinding. Dealer says that this is has been a problem, Guess I should have leased instead of buying.

  Ford Flex - 2009 Ford Flex
  By Lori Mendoza - November 25 - 7:29 am

  I agree with the other reviews pertaining to the head rest. Is does make your head lean forward a bit. But, if you recline the seat back a bit it seems to help. I have had a problem with the brakes squeeking while I am backing up from the garage to the barn. So only while backing up a long distance also. It also seems to double shift when I stop at a stop light and at times it feels as if it wants to excellurate while my foot is on the brake. It is in the shop as I write this but they will call Ford and Ford will say there is nothing wrong as they always do. FYI I also had to take it on for a Computer upgrade from Ford. Didnt know I had to do that but on occasion you have to so i was told.

  Extremely Impressed! - 2009 Ford Flex
  By procal - November 14 - 2:31 pm

  By far the best! I bought mine last October and have driven it all over Europe since. I have put on over 10,000 Autobahn miles and have no complaints. At this point, I am seriously considering trading it in and upgrading for a 2010.

  THE BEST ! - 2009 Ford Flex
  By Anne Ball - November 13 - 12:46 am

  I love this automobile !!! It makes me happy ! I love to look at it, I love to drive it ! My husband has never liked any of my cars, but now he fights me to drive it. It really is the most comfortable ---smooth. It feels like a real car, like they used to feel. I am short and I really appreciate the automatic lift. I do not have to jump anymore. The other real plus for me is that it looks so distinctive that I can find it right away in any parking lot. I also loved the choice of colors--different from all the others in the lot.

  Ford Flex Review - 2009 Ford Flex
  By Diane - November 6 - 8:45 am

  We love the look. We love the room in 1st and 2nd seat, but the back is small for legroom. Very good storage. Gas mileage isnt as good as we would of liked. The worst thing about this car is the brake noise. After having it 3 months the brakes started growling when used. It got worse and worse. Weve had it in the shop 3 times. They said they fixed it but got it home and after 2 days, growling cont. Dealer said nothing else they can do because Ford doesnt know what to do. 2 other Flexs from this dealer came in with the same problem. One other problem is the neck rests. They do go ahead too far. We wouldnt get this car again unless brakes were good. Now were stuck.

  The worst build car - 2009 Ford Flex
  By JJS - October 30 - 1:36 pm

  Five major parts are crumbling, peeling off or broken five months after I bought a new Ford Flex. I take good care of my cars,This should not happen to a new car. I contacted the dealer as well as Ford and I got very little in care or concern. I dont feel that I should fix a new car with so much dysfunctional elements happening, they should replace the Flex.
