Honestly, I love everything about my Flex! I've been the proud owner of my flex since it was just 2 years, used. I have the 2009, Ford Flex Limited AWD with towing package, and panoramic sunroof. The AWD handles like a dream, towing capabilities are better feeling than when I had both of my Explorers, mini van and truck. You honestly can't tell you're towing anything behind you, that's how well the centre of gravity, and sway system is on this car! I've hauled quite a few campers, toy haulers, and smaller trailers. All with ease. The sound system is as close as you can get to aftermarket sound. Holy, talk about feeling like being right inside a concert hall. The ambient lighting is a nice touch, and the DVD player came with dual wireless headsets. On long travels, the kids could even plug in their Playstation, if watching a movie wasn't entertaining enough. The comfort. Now this is huge for me. I have the 7 seater. I've sat in every seat inside this car and have zero complaints for leg room, and the all leather seats are VERY comfortable. Another favorite feature of course, is the heated seats and individual climate cabin control for each person. I've also bought a car mattress, for those nights I didn't feel like hauling out a camper, or setting up a tent. The seats all fold and tuck evenly away, to ensure an even base to lay on. The panoramic sunroof has given me some amazing shows of meteor showers over the years, without all the mosquito bites. Ironically, as I write this, we just finished packing Flexi for tonight's trip to watch the Perseid meteor shower... We have to travel at least an hour out, to get dark enough skies to view. Handling, and control in all types of weather is flawless. The only adjustment made to this car was buying wind and rain deflectors for the windows. Without those, traveling over 50 km/hrs with your windows open caused a "woomp woomp woomp" sound inside the cabin. Buying the deflectors got rid of that. Overall, I give Flexi 5 stars. She's been the greatest vehicle I have ever owned thus far, and I've had many types of vehicles over the years. Saddened to know Ford discontinued the Flex line up. If you can get your hands on a Flex, do so. I promise you'll fall in love. Just like I did.

Bought 09 Flex on 1/21/09. From day one the truck was a nightmare. The truck spent more time in service than any car I driven in 24 years. The truck has a problem with its trans seals which leak. Brought it in to have it fixed only to have a worse leak. My husband had to bring it back because he said it could catch on fire. It has a problem with the brakes which make a noise and feel like something is wrong when braking. At first I was told that this is normal for a Ford but after insisting that it be rechecked. I was told to use my emergency brakes if I couldn't stop
Ford is back!

2 years ago I dumped my GMC Suburban and purchased a Scion XB. I was always unhappy with the XB's size & amenities, but the mileage made up for it. I was considering a GMC Acadia. Then came Flex. As soon as it appeard on Yahoo I knew it was going to be mine! I now have a loaded SEL. My wife loves it, too! Finally a cool, luxury ride. Yesterday it averaged 27.9 MPG at 60MPH over a "hilly" 10 mile highway segment using the cruise control! Wow! It beats the sticker MPG, even in the city. I'm very proud of Ford!
Really Bummed

So let's start with the brakes. Horrible brake sound when backing up. Grinding noise in the front. I took it in and they said I have to pay after 15k miles. Then the second time I took it in they said that the brakes were dirty. Horrible wind noise. Have major trans problems. Revs up to 6k rpm and I have to pull over and stop. (no, I did not touch the shifter). Took it in and they said nothing is wrong. I am taking it in again tomorrow for the 4th time in 5 months. I am tired of this and I don't have time to deal with this anymore. I am just going to be told that there is nothing wrong. Is anybody listening? I am very frustrated and no longer feel safe
