My vehicle is affected by recall 25v695. Ford dealership confirmed no remedy parts are available and cannot provide a timeline. This vehicle is part of my commercial fleet and I am unable to operate it, resulting in significant financial loss. The manufacturer issued a recall with no available fix, leaving owners stranded indefinitely.
My rear camera has stopped working and Ford has issue with many models with this same problem.
My 2016 Ford Flex’s reverse camera has been shorting out, blinking off and on. If the camera does come on the picture is upside down. This has been happening for over a month and I have not had it looked at. This is similar to the most recent back up camera recall for other Ford vehicles for this year range.
Rear backup camera constantly blacks out or inverts itself.
Back up camera image is distorted or flipped. This is a safety risk.
Rear camera is malfunctioning. When the vehicle is in reverse, the display shows either a flashing green screen followed by an error message or an upside down image with no parking aid lines.
The rear camera on this 2016 Ford Flex has gone bad 3 times since buying it in 2017. It is upside down or will be green, black or blue leaving no view at all. A Ford dealer has seen it on multiple occasions.
The interior passenger side front floor well was filled with water while parked. Water leaks through weep holes at bottom of windshield.
"takata recall" my engine light went on 2000 miles before my manufactures warranty expired. I have a Ford shop here, but they are rated so low and I hear nothing but bad stuff about them, so I called the next closest 95 miles away in spearfish, sd. I explained to the guy what code the engine threw, but my light is now off. He said not to come in, until my engine light came back on. Meanwhile my engine still hisses and the exhaust odor is so strong inside and outside of the vehicle. I have 36,879 miles on my 2016 and either have an exhaust leak from the headers or the manifold. The engine light won't come back on and noone will check the vehicle without it on. There is no reason for my "newer" vehicle to have an exhaust leak to this extent.
Purchased a new 2016 Ford Flex on July 29, 2016, drove it most of the day on Saturday and smelled exhaust fumes mostly every time I exilirated. Wentto urgent care sick from exhaust fume poisoning, got worse as day went by and went to a regular hospital er. Brought vehicle back to dealer on Monday and after them researching the problem, it was faulty vent in rear causing exhausting to enter into interior.
