2012 Ford Flex Engine Problems

“Throttle body has been diagnosed on my 2012 Ford FLEX. Looking at vehicle history, the same throttle body has recalls for different models. Yesterday, 9/252020, I had my FLEX die on me three times on the interstate during traffic. The milage is under 100k miles. Every time the vehicle dies is when im under 30 MPH.”

“My 2012 new Ford FLEX had complete engine failure 3 times 1-27 driving..complete shut down. I cruised to curb. Restarted quickly 2-01 same incident 2-02 repeat on major street dealers have said that they have no idea what to do. They have hd my vehicle since 2-02.”

“Driving up an on ramp to an interstate, suddenly all the lights started flashing on the dashboard display. I could not see any speed or driving information. I pulled over to the side of the road turned off the vehicle and it would not restart. Nothing would happen when I turned the key, dashboard lights still flashed. Car restarted after 5 minutes and I drove it directly to the dealership. By the time I arrived at grappone Ford in concord, nh my dealership the dashboard lights were again flashing and I could not see any data.”

“We have a 2012 Ford FLEX normally aspirated engine. Starting in august, we had an issue with our electronic throttle body which caused our car to shut down. We had the part replaced, shortly after a similar problem occurred. This was due to the dealership frying the computer. This was replaced, by the dealership, after calling Ford directly. In february, the electronic throttle body failed again. Replaced under warranty. The same issue occurred last night and the vehicle will be taken back to the dealership. All signs point toward the electronic throttle body again. …”

“First incident happened while driving about 40 miles an hour. Idiot lights came on the dash and the cars engine turned off. Thankfully I was able to get car off to the side of road. Car cranked right back up. 5 days later while sitting in a fast food line, same thing happened and was able to crank car. Called dealership in town, brought car in and they said, nothing is wrong with your car, come and get it picked up car. 2 days later while driving it down our street, I stopped to get mail about 9pm and the car totally died. No power at all. Was stuck in park had to be towed. …”
