1 year after purchase & $7500 in costs

DO NOT BUY A FORD FLEX!!! I purchased a 2014 with 34,000 miles on it. I drive A LOT, 3 daughters with me at all times. At 66,222 miles my ptu failed causing my transmission to evaporate into crushed aluminum and my rear drive line to break. I was driving 80mph down the highway when, with very little warning, this happened. LUCKILY, I have a history with cars and knew something just wasn't right when it started slipping. I pulled to the shoulder and the car came to a sudden hault at which time I heard the drive line break. Got out and oil leaking caused a fire under the front of the car. Talk about a terrifying experience for a mom and three young kids. Now, 3 months later, my Flex is JUST getting fixed by Ford and they will do NOTHING to help with the costs...NOTHING! I understand that I am 6222 out of my drivetrain warranty but this is RIDICULOUS! I am meticulous about keeping my car maintained and just had it serviced 3 weeks prior. The Ford Regional Rep told my husband that after 60,000 driving these cars is like driving a hand grenade. THANK YOU FORD!!! NEVER EVER AGAIN!

I purchased my flex usec from Carmax. Styling is nice two tone red with black roof. Hate that the interior is two toned dark grey leather with light beige roof. My biggest complaint is the handling on rain. Every time I ran over a puddle its like the water grabs my wheels and jerks the car; I'm afraid I will hydro plane. Hoped purchasing new tires would help, but it didn't and that is the main reason I will be getting a different vehicle. The maintenance costs are high too and it's a gas guzzler. Other than those negatives, it is nice to drive during dry conditions, plenty of room.

The feel of a luxury car with the abilities of an SUV. Lots of research and style preference brought me to the Flex. I love the drive and comfort. The quality has been outstanding. My only frustrations are with the radio controls, a lot is left to be desired with the steering wheel controls and how involved operating them on the touch screen can be.

Exactly what we needed!

These cars are very roomy and spacious. It's nice to have an AWD for winter time. We got the fully loaded and optioned out flex. Only thing missing are the sunroofs and rear children's DVD players. The only well-known problems these cars have. Is if you have the EcoBoost motor the turbos can fail on them. As well as the water pump and timing chain are prone to failure. So if you are buying used try to get the vehicle maintenance history on it to see if any of that has been replaced yet. Otherwise, save up some cash for when that may happen. Overall they are in excellent vehicle.

gas mileage misrepresented. Very poor. Ford rude on lease buyout and will be returning due to reps ignorance and poor mileage.
