general problems of the 2011 Ford Flex

I have had this vehicle since about August 2025, the brakes and wheel bearings have failed twice, the strut failed, the power steering system has messed up repeatedly, the coolant came flying out of the car (while parked) for absolutely no reason! there have been multiple warning lights on since I got the vehicle and I have been told they are just sensors from multiple mechanics and that they don't mean anything. As it relates to the issues, the brakes, calipers, and wheel bearings have given out twice while driving without any sort of warning up until they seized! the strut on the front passenger side has broken for no known reason and the power steering system has been non stop eating power steering fluid with no leaks. Since I have gotten this vehicle, I have put over 7,000 dollars worth of work into it. This went to fixing the brake calipers, brakes, rotors, all the steering mechanisms (tie rods, sway bars, etc. ) and wheel bearings twice, trying to figure out why coolant flew out of the vehicle for no known reason, trying to figure out where the power steering fluid is going, all to no avail. I have had multiple mechanics look at and check all the components of the vehicle, and they can't even figure out what is going on other than things just fail without warning non stop. There is something wrong with these vehicles, every single owner of a 2011 Ford Flex that I have spoken to has said the same exact thing, they are dealing with the same exact issues as I am, and no one knows why! these vehicles need to be recalled and a check for the price of a perfect 2011 Ford Flex given to every 2011 Ford Flex owner, then they need to be taken off the streets as they are a danger to the people driving them and all other drivers as well as passengers in the Flex and any other vehicle! a 2011 for Flex in perfect condition is worth approximately $15,000, Ford should be sued for this! my vehicle is available for inspection when necessary, thank you!.

My brakes locked up suddenly on the rear end causing me to get stuck in the middle of the road and unable to move it, even to tow it. I had to take 2 days almost to fix it in the middle of the road, since yesterday morning. They also began locking up suddenly on the front end, the wheel bearing, cv joint, tie rods, cv axles, cv boots, and sway bars began failing out of nowhere as well. The brakes may or may not be able to be replicated, as they are partially fixed and yes my entire front end can be replicated. The danger is my brakes locked up as I was driving, in the middle of the road at that. I have not been able to get the front end fixed as it is expensive, however the danger of this is the tires falling off or the front end failing all together. All of the other people who drive these that I have talked to and met have had the same problem and yes they are factory parts! even the people who have only 30 to 60000 miles on their 2011 Ford Flex titaniums have these issues! not only this but also the sensors go bad almost immediately off the lot, which can cause the car to brake without warning, stop running out of nowhere, make the power steering module fail, make your vehicle stutter because all of the sensors are bad. These vehicles need to be recalled and fixed, or recalled and replaced with better vehicles (from $60,000 up to $95,000) with any mileage any year. Please recall these and please help! I just got mine, this isn't right!.
