2009 Ford Flex Engine Problems

“I was driving about 45 mile per hr. Then my Ford FLEX started to stall so I had it towed to a near by repair shop , they looked over my vehicle and they came to the conclusion, that the water pimp had failed and coolant entered the block, so there for the engine needed to be replace. We are now in the process of the repair invoice 369486 02/28/2020”

“Part of my power in my car shut off on the freeway, at 1:39 pm at 67 degrees outside . I had been driving for 40 minutes. My dashboard went dark, and only my clock time was on. I glided to the side of the road, and was able to pull the car very hard to the right (as the power steering was off). Then turned the key to off, waited 3 minutes turned the key and it went back on. It has not happened again.”

“Last night, I went to back the car out of the garage and while in reverse, the engine started revving up uncontrollably and even though I had my foot on the brakes, it kept moving in reverse. I quickly put it in neutral and the revving came down. Shut down the car, restarted it and this time, I put it in drive and the same thing happen again only to start lunging forward even while braking. If I were in traffic or at a stop light or sign, I would have surely hit the person(s) in front or behind me. …”

“My daughter was driving on interstate at 70 MPH when the FLEX totaling shut down. She had no power steering, brakes or lights. It started back up after a couple of hours and was giving bogus messages on the display. Ford dealer says there are no codes showing up, so they won't be able to determine what caused this. We cannot drive anymore without knowing what happened, since it might happen again and would be very dangerous if going over a mountain pass at the time it happens. We live in montana.”

“While drive on the highway with my youngest son, my car suddenly decellerated and eventually the car's engine completely died. Fourtunatly I was able to get out of the lanes of traffic and onto an exit ramp. The ramp had a wall on the passenger side and fast exiting traffic on the drivers side. I could not safely exit the vehicle in this location. After about 5 minutes, I was able to start the car enough to move it to a safer location 30-40 yards off the exit (where the car again died). …”
