Loved the car for three rows to tote the old people on excursions and the dog loves it too.

Ford Flex is one of the best family cars ever. It should be updated and brought back to consumers as soon as possible.

Drive train is reliable so far at 60k miles. Water pump cost 3k to replace. Not much good to say otherwise. Seats are so hard as to render long driving nearly impossible. Ford wouldn't stand behind the warranty when the trim flew off. Car rides chopped and rough. Cargo capacity is limited due to the bulky plastic inside. Sync on the Bluetooth has to be reset often. Last Ford product ever!

Rollback

My driveway has a slope in it, so one day I was leaving and forgot something and pulled back in my driveway, , thought I put it in park, the car started rolling back in drive, so I applied the brake, and took my feet off the brake to see why that happened, and it continue to roll out the driveway into the street, with me watching, hoping it would stop and it kept going until I applied the service brake, has this happen to anyone else??

I have looked at a never of these vehicles. The finish seems very delicate. Every one I looked at had scratches,and fading. Nick's and paint chips. Seems the finish is not the best
