Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Occasionally when I am turning left or right there is a clunking noise under the front end of my car. I typically back into a parking space and when I am lining up my car to back in is mostly when the noise occurs. It is a loud sound that almost sounds like a popping or snapping. It does not matter the temperature outside, nor does it matter whether it is dry or wet. It isn't happening every time either. It is frightening, though, because I had a tie rod snap on a car one time and it always makes me think of that. …”
NHTSA complaint #11312000, filed 2020-02, 6,500 miles“While the FLEX was parked in our driveway, the glass in the rear hatch blew out. It occurred around 5:00p. The temperature was in the 70's all day. No one drove, went into the FLEX, or opened the hatch that day. At 4:30p the glass was still intact. At 5:00p the hatch glass was seen on the ground and rear bumper.”
NHTSA complaint #11352218, filed 2020-08, 2,022 miles“My Ford Flex has an open recall to fix the rear-view camera from December 2024. The status shows Recall Incomplete, remedy not yet available . This is now going on 18 months and it is unacceptable that they cannot fix it. It is a safety issue because my rear-view camera does not work and I am filing a complaint based on this not being resolved in a timely manner.”
NHTSA complaint #11745200, filed 2026-06“Trim panel on driver side door containing keyless entry pad blew off while traveling down highway, banged against car, then completely separated from vehicle and landed somewhere behind me on PA Turnpike. I replaced it myself and it happened a second time exactly the same way. Now I just have black Gorilla tape over the opening.”
NHTSA complaint #11687660, filed 2025-09“Rear camera does not work consistently. Obviously, backing up is a safety issue. The rear-view camera image sometimes is distorted, inverted, or completely blank when the vehicle is in reverse. This has been occurring for several months. I have not had vehicle inspected at a dealer or service center at present. The message I receive on screen states Camera is Unavailable”
