Common Ford Flex problems
The Ford Flex, a popular full-size crossover car, has been manufactured from 2008 to 2019. While generally reliable, the Ford Flex has had its share of common problems. Electrical issues are one of the most prevalent problems, particularly in the 2013 and 2014 models. These issues can range from minor inconveniences, such as a door light staying on when the car is shut, to major problems like loss of power while driving or a car that won't start. Electrical problems can be unpredictable and costly to repair, making the 2013 and 2014 Ford Flex years to avoid if you want to minimize the risk of these issues.
Engine troubles are another common problem in the Ford Flex, particularly in the 2010 model. Engine failure, blown engines, and check engine lights are some of the issues that have been reported. These problems can be expensive to repair and can cause significant inconvenience for drivers. If you're looking for a used Ford Flex, it's best to avoid the 2010 model if you want to minimize the risk of engine troubles.
Interior and exterior accessory issues are also common in the Ford Flex. These issues can range from air conditioning and heater troubles to stuck seat latches. While not as serious as electrical or engine problems, they can still cause inconvenience for drivers and may require costly repairs.
In addition to these common problems, there have been specific recalls related to the Ford Flex. For example, certain 2018 Ford Flexes were recalled due to loose connections between the power supply, alternator, and regulator, which can increase the risk of fires. Ford dealers were instructed to inspect these parts and verify that they're connected, with any repairs done free of charge. Suspension problems have also prompted Ford to recall certain Ford Flexes from 2013 to 2018, with the rear toe links potentially fracturing due to excessive movement in the suspension and causing the vehicle to crash. The American carmaker has offered to replace both left and right toe links on affected vehicles for free.
To avoid unexpected maintenance and repair costs, it's essential to familiarize yourself with the most common problems of the Ford Flex before purchasing a used one. The 2010 model is considered the worst in the lineup due to its problems occurring at lower mileage. The 2013 and 2014 models are also worth avoiding due to their electrical issues, while the 2010 model should be avoided if you want to minimize the risk of engine troubles. By being aware of these common problems, you can make an informed decision and choose a Ford Flex model that is less prone to issues.

Ford Flex 2019
- Date Of Incident: 2021-05-01
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-18
- VIN: 2FMHK6C85KB
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Rear park aid camera failure. The camera does not always display when reverse is selected. The camera only shows an upside down image when it displays. The camera displays severe vertical lines when dark, virtually making the display useless. This is a safety issue because I cannot see persons or objects behind me if the camera is inoperable. If the camera is operable, with the display upside down, it is disorienting to use as a means of protecting persons or objects behind me as well as protecting my vehicle from damage. I have not taken it to the dealer for this issue, as it began after the warranty period expired. The problem has not been inspected by a dealer, independent service center, the manufacturer, police or insurance representatives. The vehicle has not been recalled for this issue. I find this surprising, given the large number of Ford vehicles which have been recalled for rear camera problems. I also find this to be a somewhat common problem with the Ford Flex across multiple model years, based on viewing of various chat boards found on the internet.

Vehicle year: 2015
2021 UPDATE: Our Ford Flex has been a great ride even after 150,000 miles! We recently passed it on to our teenage daughter and it's one of the top 4 cars for new drivers according to her driving course. We've had a few repairs, including a leak in the fuel intake valve and a steering and air conditioning issue, but they were all fixed within 6 months for a total of about $1500, inclusive of standard maintenance. We still highly recommend this car! 2018 UPDATE: The car is still going strong after 124,000 miles! 2017 UPDATE: My husband now uses this car as his company car and we put a ton of miles on it in the last year. We travelled to Disney last week and discovered a dead battery one morning when trying to start up the car. We realized this was the original battery at well over 100k miles! We got a new battery, even though the mechanic said we could possibly clean it up from the corrosion and keep it going for awhile. Other than that, we have had no issues with this car. If you're looking for a spacious vehicle without the stigma of a minivan and without the gas guzzling of an SUV, the Ford Flex is the perfect option for you! We have three large dogs and two kids, so when we need to take the entire family, including our furry friends, on a long trip, we don't have many options. My husband, who is 6'7I really enjoyed both the minivan and the Flex. The minivan had a lot of space, but for an everyday car, the Flex is definitely the better option. It's comfortable to ride in and can fit up to 7 people, which is perfect for when the in-laws come to visit. Although it doesn't have as much interior space as the minivan, we were able to solve that problem by adding a roof rack and tow hitch. We were originally planning on trading in our current Flex for a new one with those options, but we found that adding a hitch from U-Haul was a much cheaper alternative. However, the placement of the hitch is too low and we often scrape it over humps when it's loaded. I would recommend getting a dealer-installed version that sits higher on the frame and cuts out part of the plastic bumper.

Vehicle year: 2010
We bought this car to replace a 2000 Expedition and make room for our three grandsons to ride along with Papa and Grandma! The boys absolutely love their individual moon roofs (we've even taken a few trips to the airport). It's incredibly comfortable, and the versatile seating is perfect for everything from grocery shopping to home improvement projects. We were even able to fit a 5-person bowling team plus luggage and 10 balls with power to spare! While we did have a small issue with defective weatherstripping on the driver's door, it was promptly replaced. We also experienced some brake problems, but they were a design flaw that has since been remedied. Overall, this car has been a big hit with the entire family.

I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying your new Flex! Although the fuel economy may not be the best and the engine may seem a bit small for the size of the car, it sounds like it has a lot of great features. The Multi Vista Sun Roof sounds especially desirable. It's a shame that the refrigerated console was discontinued, but it's good to hear that the car is still roomy. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

Vehicle year: 2015
Looking for a large, safe family vehicle to replace my minivan that was totaled in Feb of 2015, I found the Ford Flex. I loved the size, comfort, and technology, but I was disappointed with the gas mileage. Although my minivan gets 30mpg on trips, the Flex only gets 17mpg. On Thurs Aug 13, while on vacation with my kids in the Smoky Mountains, the steering started acting a little strange. We stopped to check the power steering fluid and figured out it was electrical. We called 2 Ford dealers and were told it was fine and to get it checked when we got home. We were told there is 1 recall on the fuel delivery module, and that's it. We continued our day, but on the 2nd largest mountain on the entire east coast, Clingmans Dome, the power steering warning light came on. It bonged 5 times and BOOM - NO POWER STEERING. None! On a huge mountain, it took all my husband had to wrestle it away from a guard rail, avoid traffic, and stop it so we didn't dive off the cliff! It was a traumatizing experience for my kids, and they don't want to drive in the Flex ever again. We had to get a wrecker to bring us off the mountain, and it took 2 1/2 hours. We had to drive 2 hours to the Knoxville airport to get a one-way car rental because locals won't do a one-way rental. When I contacted Ford corporate, they said that cars don't come off the assembly line perfect, but that's why there's a warranty. I was shocked and disappointed with their response. We could have died - LITERALLY! I asked if they would reimburse me for the car rental, but they said no. I also asked if they would help me get my car back, but they said no. I have to get out of work, and my husband must get out of work. We must drive 3 hours each way to get the car. I used to like Fords, but my kids and I will never buy another Ford vehicle. I hope this review helps others make an informed decision.They should be ashamed of themselves!

Are you having problems with your Ford Flex?
Kaleigh Kirlin 2025-07-12

Where do I start? Unfortunately, my experience with this car has been quite disappointing. All four wheel bearings went bad before 90,000 miles, and the sunroof seems to have been designed to let water in. The fans don't work, causing the car to overheat, and the stereo wouldn't work from the steering wheel controls. Additionally, the gas gauge goes from 3/4 full to empty in a second, and the car has died twice. The only good news is that this only happens when it's 20 below or colder. As someone who has worked in the car industry for twenty years and owned many cars, I was hoping to support Ford after they refused the bailout money. However, I will be going back to a Honda or Toyota, as in my experience, these companies have given me the best value for my money. Thank you for your understanding.

The Flex is a practical choice for a family of five, especially with three little boys. It serves as a great alternative to a van. Although we had some issues with the motherboard in the front computer panel and the back windows, they were all covered under warranty. The heater/air is wonderful and Ford's Sync system is one of the best out there in my opinion. The captain chairs in the back with easy access to the third row are very convenient and there is pretty good storage space using all three rows. However, the acceleration is not great and you have to be cautious before pulling out into traffic or onto the interstate on ramp. We believe that the Flex should have a larger engine to accommodate the size and weight of the vehicle. Despite these issues, we are happy with our purchase.

I have been a loyal Ford customer for a long time, but unfortunately, my recent experience with this car has left me feeling disappointed. I purchased the car as a 2-year-old lease return and opted for an extended warranty, which turned out to be a wise decision. I have had to replace several components of the underbody of the car, including bearings, springs, steering column (twice), tie rods, and both tail light housings, which were not covered under the warranty. Additionally, the heat stopped working on the passenger side. Despite these issues, I am grateful for the extended warranty, which has saved me a lot of money. However, I have decided to trade in the car for a Grand Caravan. Thank you for your attention and please take this into consideration before making a purchase.

In the six months since I purchased my Ford Flex, the windshield has cracked four times, each replacement costing $363. Despite Ford's claim that it is due to the design of the vehicle, I am confident that this issue can be resolved. I urge Ford to take responsibility for this recurring problem and take action to prevent it from happening in the future.
