Front tires look and stay really low no matter how much air is put in. It's leaking brake fluid. The emergency brake barley lock. Also transmission is horrible.

While driving, just as I turned my steering wheel; it got very stiff to turn. If I was not able to turn, I easily could have drove into someone's house, pedestrians or hit other vehicles both parked and driving on the road. Especially if I were going very much faster and didn't have as much strength as I do. A week before this happened, I got a quick flash of a message twice that read "AdvanceTrack needs service". But after that ine trip a week ago, it never popped back up and still hasn't. Other than that, no warning lights or codes xan be found. I made it home (less than a half mile away). After having it checked by 2 different mechanics, both said it was the electric steering and told me to check the recalls for my 2013 Ford Flex SEL. I found that my particular VIN did NOT have the 2 recalls that affected numerous Ford vehicles with Electric Steering, including THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL of my Ford Flex. The recall is for the power steering. I've also seen numerous other posts on fordflex.net where this has affected many Ford Flex vehicles from 2009 to 2018 with electric steering. The other issue I had is a known recall for other Ford Flex vehicles, but not my VIN, just like the previous. I was driving on the highway when my dash starts beeping and flashing at me wiyh an overheating issue. I had to do my best to get off the highway. Thankfully I was stopped when this happened and not far from the turn I needed to get me and my car to safety. Turned out to be the internal water pump. It cost me around $2,000 to get it fixed.

My 2013 Ford Flex has had the same issue as the Ford Explorer. I purchased the vehicle new from sanderson Ford in glendale AZ and noticed after a hard acceleration with the air conditioning set to recirculate. The dealer stated they could not recreate the issue and I took it back home. Years past and it was taken back again and same thing they could not re-create due to there was no mechanic that could drive it at higher speeds. I included a Ford Flex forum that explains the issue and shows that it does exist out there. Please add the Ford Flex to the "recall" fix of these issues. In the federal regulations under 49 cfr $393.83 the exhaust shall not leak / discharge so that it enters a sleeper compartment of a truck tractor. We have the same thing here the exhaust leaks into the compartment of where the driver is at. Https://www.fordflex.net/forums/viewtopic.php?T=17923

Failure of engine to start/run due to a faulty fuel pump control module. Current Ford safety recall #16S31 (NHTSA #16V621) is limited only to Ford/Lincoln vehicles equipped with the ecoboost turbocharged engine. The faulty component on my normally aspirated engine, fuel pump control module #aa8Z-9D370-B, is the same component being replaced on vehicles affected by the #16V621 NHTSA safety recall. To avoid engines shutting off at speed or not starting, it appears that the recall will need to be expanded to include normally aspirated engines as well. We were fortunate because our vehicle failed sitting in our driveway, not at 75 mph on the highway. My wife's concern is what would have happened to her and our four grandchildren if this failure had taken place on the interstate in busy traffic at 75 mph. Why is the same component that is failing on ecoboost turbocharged engines being covered by Ford safety recall #16S31 not being recalled on similar vehicles equipped normally aspirated engines using the identical component? failure of the component has the same effect of an engine that cuts off at speed or will not start. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. The safety of the owners of these popular Ford/Lincoln family vehicles is at stake.

There is currently an issue with our ecoboost V6 turbo charger. There is a old drain tube leak that has been identified through Ford and is a fire safety issue. This issue has been recalled for the 2014 and 2015 Ford Flex which is identical parts as our vehicle but never recalled. Would like to see this get recalled before harm is had. This is an ongoing leak that has gotten worse over time.

My Ford Flex stalls while driving anywhere from 10 mph (in residential area) to 80 mph on highway. Electrical is still working the engine shuts off and I lose control of gas/brakes. Three warning signs pop up at the same time: Check brake system, collision warning not available, and service advance trac. Once I restart the car, the codes will disappear. The problem was intermittent at first, but now it's occurring more frequently. I'm too scared to drive my car now. Ford isnt being much help. I need help.

Tonight was the second time it happened. While I was driving, thank goodness I was not driving fast and was still on our driveway that the engine just stalled for no reason. I tried restarting the car but it would not start. I had to try starting it many times and after awhile it finally started again.
