Consumer Description

2010 FORD FLEX WITH DURATEC 3.5L ENGINE - SUDDEN WATER PUMP FAILURE CAUSES COOLANT TO FLOOD THE ENGINE, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT AND CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THIS ENGINE WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE THE WATER PUMP IS INSIDE THE ENGINE-- SEE E.G.
