“Along with problems from the current recalls (that still don't have remedies), our 2019 Ford Flex also has a faulty gas gauge. Not sure what component it would be considered, but even when we fill the tank up with gas, it doesn't register properly how much gas we have in the tank. It shouldn't be a guessing game as to how much gas is in the vehicle. I used to love Fords, but the combination of safety issues is concerning.”
NHTSA complaint #11734597, filed 2026-04“While car is in reverse the rear view camera cuts in and out more than 75 %of time while. This has resulted in several near miss collisions while backing up. But when I checked my vin it was included in the current recall for the same issue and concern.”
NHTSA complaint #11686744, filed 2025-09“I am submitting a formal complaint regarding multiple premature and potentially safety-related failures on my 2019 Ford Flex, purchased new on 11/25/2019. These include: ⚠️ 1. …”
NHTSA complaint #11676254, filed 2025-07“My Ford reverse camera fails to display a correct image, decreasing driver visibility. It is nearly always displayed upside down or occasionally the image fails to appear at all. The parking guide lines also fail to display since January. There were no warning lights when the malfunction began in January 2023 and at that same time, the camera started remaining on while I drive forward, showing a live upside down view while driving forward for various amounts of time after shifting out of reverse. …”
NHTSA complaint #11528848, filed 2023-06“My camera has not worked for at least 2 years. At first it was intermittent. Sometimes working, sometimes dark. Now I have an inverted image 100% of the time.”
