ON OCTOBER 18, 2019, WHILE ENTERING A PARKING SPACE AT THE IKEA PARKING LOT, MY CAR EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF POWER, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL. I TRIED TO START IT UP ABOUT 10 TIMES, AND NOTHING HAPPENED - IT FAILED TO START EVERY TIME. AFTER ABOUT 2 HOURS OF TRYING, I FINALLY HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE. WHEN I PERFORMED A OBD-II SYSTEM SCAN, WITH MY SCANNER, I GOT A FAULT CODE OF P0627 (FUEL PUMP A CONTROL CIRCUIT) I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALER, AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. AFTER TWO HOURS, THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THEIR TESTS REVEALED NO FAULT CODES. BASED ON THE ISSUE I DESCRIBED, THEY SAID THAT IF I WANTED, THEY CAN CHANGE THE FUEL PUMP, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $100 DEDUCTIBLE UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN. THE THINK THAT MAY FIX THE ISSUE OF STALLING, OR...

IN OCTOBER 2018, OUR FORD FLEX WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN WE TRIED TO START IT AND IT DID A MINOR CRANK AND THEN NOTHING. IT WOULDN'T START OR DO ANYTHING. WORKED FINE THE NIGHT BEFORE. HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AND TURNS OUT THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE FAILED ON IT COSTING $650 TO REPLACE THE PART. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL OR REFUND ON THE REPAIRS AS THERE WAS ON THE TURBOCHARGED ONES. I HAVE HAD ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER WITH THIS VEHICLE AND TOLD THAT EACH PART "SOMEHOW FAILED" BEFORE IT'S TIME WITH NO OTHER EXPLANATION THAN BAD PARTS. THE WHEEL BEARING FAILED, THE TOUCH ON THE TOUCH SCREEN HAS FAILED, THE ELECTRIC SEAT FAILED AND NOW THE A/C COMPRESSOR HAS FAILED AS WELL. I AM READY TO GET RID OF...

MY 2015 FORD FLEX WAS EXHIBITING SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN THE FORD SAFETY RECALL 16S31. THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING 5 TIMES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS OF OWNERSHIP WITH THE MOST RECENT OCCURRING ON 6/20/2019 AT 8:15 AM. EACH INCIDENT WAS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS (30 - 70MPH) BUT NO WARNING PREFACED THE STALL AND YOU HAD TO CUT THE POWER OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON FOR THE CAR TO START AGAIN. TWO OF THE STALLS WERE DURING TURNING OPERATIONS WHILE OTHERS WERE WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. ON OTHER OCCASIONS THE ENGINE DID NOT START VIA REMOTE START, HOWEVER NO DATES RECORDED. THIS RECALL, THAT DESCRIBES THE EXACT SYMPTOMS, STATES THAT IT DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I HAVE A DIFFERENT ENGINE. HOWEVER, THE PART IN THE RECALL IS THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. MY 2015 FORD FLEX HAD THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE AA8A-9D412-CA WITH THE...

WRENCH LIGHT APPEARS ON DASH AND THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER - KNOWN AS "LIMP HOME" MODE. CODES CLEAR UPON RESTART. TOOK IT TO DEALER AFTER FREEWAY INCIDENT ON 2/17/19, DEALER FOUND NO CODES, STATED IT WAS MOTOR MOUNT. GOT THE CAR BACK ON 2/25/17, AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITHIN 30 MILES. WAS ABLE TO PULL CODE WITH MY OWN SCAN TOOL - P2111. KNOWN ERROR IN THROTTLE. THIS HAPPENED WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, AND ONCE ON EXPRESSWAY, TWO ADDITIONAL TIMES AT AROUND 20 MPH

FIRST TIME CAR WOULDN'T START PARKED AT WORK, 2 DAYS LATER ON MONDAY IT STARTED, DROVE IT TO DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE SENDER AND PUMP ASY, UNDER WARRANTY. 3 MTHS LATER SPUTTER AND DIED PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER, THEY REPLACED FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE, NOT ON RECALL OR WARRANTY.

OUR 2015 FORD FLEX RECENTLY DIED WHEN WE WERE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, WITH NO WARNING WHEN WE WERE DRIVING WITH OUR 2 YOUNG CHILDREN. THE FORD FLEX ONLY HAS ~45K MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY. TURNS OUT IT IS BAD PART (FUEL PUMP ELECTRIC MODULE (PEM)) THAT IS RECALLED BY FORD IN THE 2015 FLEX. THE RECALL WAS STARTED IN 2016 AND OUR FLEX DIED IN 2018. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER AND LATER BY FORD SERVICE THAT OUR CAR IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. SO WHILE SOME 2015 FORD FLEXS' HAD THIS EXACT PART COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OURS WAS NOT. WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED INTO THE DEALER, SAN TAN FORD IN GILBERT AZ, AND THEN PAY THEM ABOUT $400 FOR THE REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS GREAT BUT IT IS NOT RIGHT FORD DOES NOT COVER THIS...

I WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON INTERSTATE 265 AT APPROXIMATELY 4 A.M. SUNDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER 30TH. THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE INTERSTATE. A WRENCH LIGHT WAS SHOWN ON THE DASH AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. THE INCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY A SAFETY BULLETIN NUMBER 17 B28. LUCKILY I WAS ABOUT THE ONLY ONE ON THE ROAD AT THAT HOUR, BECAUSE I AM CERTAIN THAT HAD THIS HAPPENED IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT.

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH UPHILL WHEN SUDDENLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE FLEX DECELERATED TO A COASTING SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A TURN LANE BUT UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON AND THEIR WAS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE BEYOND CRAWLING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY TO WORK.

I WAS DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON US 23 ON 6/10/2017 WHEN MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO GAS PEDAL. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FORTUNATELY WITHOUT STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE OR THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME REAR ENDING ME. A ORANGE WRENCH APPEARED ON THE DIGITAL SCREEN IN MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND A MESSAGE APPEARED THAT SAID "SEE MANUAL." MANUAL STATED THIS WAS A POWER-TRAIN FAILURE. I TURNED CAR OFF AND RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ON. ONCE RESTARTED, THE WRENCH SYMBOL DISAPPEARED. ON 6/11/2017, WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING ONLY 1.5 MILES AFTER IGNITION. SUDDEN DECELERATION, COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD, VERY LOW ROUGH IDLE AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO GAS PEDAL DEPRESS. FORTUNATELY NO VEHICLES BEHIND ME. THIS TIME I HAD MY WIFE BRING MY SCAN TOOL TO ME AND I PLUGGED INTO THE OBD2 PORT AND RECEIVED A...

OUR CAR HAS STALLED ON US 4 TIMES, ALL WHILE IN TRAFFIC. 1ST TIME AT NIGHT ON A RESIDENTAL STREET MOVING FORWARD, 2ND AND 3RD TIME WHILE ON A 40 MPH ROAD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, 4TH TIME WHILE GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION ON A MAIN ROAD MOVING FORWARD. EACH TIME VEHICLE HAS HAD A 1/2 TANK OR MORE OF GAS. VEHICLE ACTS AS THOUGH IT HAS RAN OUT OF GAS. LIGHT ON THE DASH COMES ON WITH A WRENCH SYMBOL SAYING TO CHECK MANUAL. VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT INTO WESTLIE FORD IN WASHOUGAL, WA 2 TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. THE COMPUTER IS SHOWING NO ISSUE, SO NOTHING HAS BEEN REPAIRED. VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AS THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. HAD WE BEEN ON A FREEWAY I HAVE NO DOUBTS IT WOULD HAVE. VEHICLE ONLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 9800K MILES ON IT AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN OWNED IT A...

APPARENTLY MY "THROTTLE BODY" ELECTRONICS WENT BAD AND CAUSED MY ENGINE TO STOP WHILE I WAS IN FAST LANE OF FREEWAY...BARELY MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER. NO WARNING UNTIL AFTER CAR WAS OFF. DEALER WAS "AWARE" OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS 2015 FORD ENGINE ALTHOUGH FORD HASN'T DONE ANYTHING TO WARN CUSTOMERS OR RECALL TO FIX..IT IS NOTICED HOWEVER IN SAFETY ISSUES WITH ORGS. IT IS INEXCUSABLE THAT THE CARE WILL NOT WARN OF PENDING PROBLEM, AND TURNS OFF ON ITS ON (OR SLOWS DOWN TO CRAWL) AND FORD HAS NOT TAKEN ACTION ON PROBLEM THEY ARE AWARE OF.
