2017 Ford Flex owner complaints

While driving down the highway the black door panel next to the window flew off from the front passenger door and the rear drivers side passenger door. These were not loose or of concern previous to this happening. My concern when this happened is that it would hit another driver's vehicle and damage it, or potentially cause an accident because I was on the highway. Had I been on our pedestrian street, what if this happened and hit someone? I see there is a recall for other Ford Flex doors, but I'm not sure if this is the same issue. There were no warnings that this may happen, we noticed when they hit the rear windows when they detached and my children yelled about something hitting their window.

Back up camera has distorted image & blank screen

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 Ford flex. While the contact's husband was driving 25 MPH, the rear passenger door opened and the rear passenger side door latch fractured and failed to close. In addition, the rear door ajar warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to fox Ford (560 28th st se, grand rapids, mi 49512, (616) 956-5511), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.

The backup camera failed in my 2017 Ford Flex. It has gotten worse over time and now doesn’t come on at all or just for a second or two. I get a blue screen of death most of the time. It makes it much unsafer to parallel park and backup into a parking spot. Every time I try to use it I get an error message saying the camera is not working. This message stay on the car screen until I press the ok button. Most times the error message doesn’t come on until I’m driving so I have to take my eyes off the road to acknowledge it. I took it to my local repair shop. They told me Ford dealership had to fix. Please add the Ford Flex to the recall announced yesterday.

The rear-facing camera in the tailgate of my 2017 Ford Flex is defective and is experiencing the same issue included within the recent NHTSA Campaign # 25V572000. The fact that the 2017 Ford Flex is not included within the recall is highly suspect and should be investigated further. Our safety and the safety of others is put at risk because the driver could accidentally back up into an object or individual, causing damage, injury or loss of life. The issue is reproduceable and has happened a number of times, and has been confirmed by our local dealer, Shawnee Mission Ford. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer directly (other than through the dealership), police, insurance, or others. There are no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms other than those expressly no

My back up camera not working blanking out dorstort screen

Component or System Failed: The rearview/backup camera system has failed. The image consistently displays upside down when the camera activates, and at times the camera does not turn on at all. The system remains installed in the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk: This malfunction severely impairs rear visibility when reversing, creating a significant safety hazard. The distorted image increases the risk of backing into pedestrians, objects, or other vehicles, especially in crowded areas or where children may be present. Problem Confirmation: The problem has been reproduced multiple times by me. It has not yet been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. Inspection History: The vehicle has not yet been inspected for this specific issue by the

This be chile was purchased by me when living in the United States and imported when I moved back to Canada. The Rear Camera frequently shows as not working, goes blank or picture breaks up. It’s an on going problem, which makes parking and backing up problematic

The rear seat belts come unbuckled. I was driving and about to get on a highway, and my children told me their seat belts unbuckled, another time it happened while I was driving in town. There's been a few others times too. I have not taken my vehicle to a dealer to check it out. This vehicle has not been inspected by anyone. No lights came on when the seat belt unbuckled. It has been happening on and off for a few years.

The Driver side seatbelt begins to lock as you pull it down to click it into the buckle. While driving the seatbelt will also lock and continue to get tighter and tighter and suddenly release. It will continue to lock and then unlock while driving. This is happening with regular driving, and not when applying the brakes.

On monday, sept 28, 2020 at approximately 10:30 am while driving southbound on interstate 5 (just before the west mountain view overpass in firebaugh ca) doing 70 MPH, the car began fishtailing erratically - swerving between lanes. Fortunately, the driver was able to maneuver the car to the right shoulder of the interstate without hitting anything or anyone or even rolling the vehicle. (at the time there was an average amount of traffic on the road.) we initially believed that what we had experienced was a blowout, but after inspection, all the tires were found to be intact. We then surmised that we had possibly hit something on the road (like a blown tire remnant), but also found nothing. The driver and both passengers got back in the car to see if we could proceed slowly/safely down the

I was ran off a 2 lane city street by a car and when I overcompensenated to move away, I hit my right front fender on a small curb and there was a light pole there. Instead of my front air bags deploying as they should have, all of the side bags on both sides deployed instead. My mechanic has said if there were a passenger in that seat, that didn't have their seatbelt on, they would have hit their head on the dash board.

During a routine oil change and multipoint inspection on 10-2-2018, it was brought to my attention that I needed new tires in the very near future. My odometer read 24,963. I have already replaced the right front tire due to a blow out. On the attached document, tire tread depth for the 3 tires not replaced is indicated as "attention required" 3/32" and less". I purchased the car in november 2017 with approximately 6,000 miles indicated on the odometer. The advisor at the Ford service center was very surprised and puzzled. She checked to see if the tires had a recall notice, but they did not.

Backup camera frequently goes blank. I noticed an active recall for other ford vehicles and wanted to report I’m having the same issue with my 2017 ford flex, so I’m hoping the flexes will be added to the recall.

Engine stopped turning while car was in motion, which shut the car down. An oil pump failure is suspected.
