general problems of the 2015 Ford Flex

Car lost power while driving on interstate cil indicates p0171 p0174 codes.

I took it to russell and smith Ford in houston, TX. They said the battery was the issue. A week later same problem, it cranks but wont turnover. It is now at sterling mccall Ford in houston with the same problem. I will attach their diagnosis. I have 57, 000 miles only on this vehicle. I hope that this will all go out to all Ford dealerships. . Thank you.

Wrench light appears on dash and the car loses all power - known as "limp home" mode. Codes clear upon restart. Took it to dealer after freeway incident on 2/17/19, dealer found no codes, stated it was motor mount. Got the car back on 2/25/17, and it happened again within 30 miles. Was able to pull code with my own scan tool - p2111. Known error in throttle. This happened while traveling approximately 40 mph, and once on expressway, two additional times at around 20 mph.

I was traveling westbound on interstate 265 at approximately 4 a. M. Sunday morning September 30th. The vehicle stalled out and came to a complete stop on the interstate. A wrench light was shown on the dash and the vehicle would not move forward. The incident was caused by a safety bulletin number 17 b28. Luckily I was about the only one on the road at that hour, because I am certain that had this happened in rush hour traffic there would have been an accident.

I was driving approximately 45 mph uphill when suddenly, and without warning, the Flex decelerated to a coasting speed. I was able to pull into a turn lane but unable to accelerate. The wrench light came on. I turned off the car and turned it back on. The wrench light was on and their was ability to accelerate beyond crawling. I turned the car off and back on and was able to drive normally to work.

Driving on i75 headed south just n of forsythe GA 3 lanes of traffic 75 mph or faster wrench light comes on and no power. With gods luck there was like a 10 second window where we got over to to right been and of the road. My wife and granddaughter were very frightened. Car was dead no power! waited a couple minutes and the car started so the air would work this is July 1st called roadside assistance first operator was not good and her english was terrible next lady was great but tow was 2 hours away. Towed to Ford dealer closed till Monday. Monday morning Ford dealer says its a throttle actuated stuck have to replace throttle body. They did a good job on the road couple hours later. This a very serious safety issue.

I was driving northbound on us 23 on 6/10/2017 when my vehicle suddenly decelerated and would not respond to gas pedal. I coasted to the side of the road fortunately without striking another vehicle or the vehicle behind me rear ending me. A orange wrench appeared on the digital screen in my instrument cluster and a message appeared that said "see manual. " manual stated this was a power-train failure. I turned car off and restarted and was able to drive on. Once restarted, the wrench symbol disappeared. On 6/11/2017, while driving to work, the vehicle did the same thing only 1. 5 miles after ignition. Sudden deceleration, coast to side of road, very low rough idle and would not respond to gas pedal depress. Fortunately no vehicles behind me. This time I had my wife bring my scan tool to me and I plugged into the obd2 port and received a code "p2111 throttle actuator control system - stuck open. " once again I turned car off and back on and was able to continue on. I went to bruce walters Ford in pikeville, ky on 6/12/2017 at 2pm and attempted to have the vehicle repaired. The service adviser as well as service manager advised me they could not read any code and therefore could not do anything. I explained that it resets when you turn off and back on and there is no way to drive the car when it happens because it is disabled. I was advised by both people that I just needed to drive the car until it broke down and have it towed in while still running that way they could read the code. I thought this was unbelievable. No tow service will tow a running car. I tried to explain but was only told that they had to be able to read the code to help. I left dealership and called Ford corporate and was told the same thing. Drive until I broke down and have it towed while running so the code could be read. Having a vehicle randomly shut down on the road is super dangerous.

Driving the vehicle on the highway and heard a clunk and felt a slight loss of power and control. Pulled over to check vehicle and noticed flames coming underneath the engine compartment. Car soon became engulfed and was a total loss. The origin and cause expert hired by our insurance company suspects an injector line came loose on the engine and sprayed fuel onto exhaust manifold.

Apparently my "throttle body" electronics went bad and caused my engine to stop while I was in fast lane of freeway. . . Barely made it to the shoulder. No warning until after car was off. Dealer was "aware" of this problem with this 2015 Ford engine although Ford hasn't done anything to warn customers or recall to fix. . It is noticed however in safety issues with orgs. It is inexcusable that the care will not warn of pending problem, and turns off on its on (or slows down to crawl) and Ford has not taken action on problem they are aware of.
