One problem related to warnings has been reported for the 2017 Ford Flex. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2017 Ford Flex based on all problems reported for the 2017 Flex.
Component or system failed: the rearview/backup camera system has failed. The image consistently displays upside down when the camera activates, and at times the camera does not turn on at all. The system remains installed in the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request. Safety risk: this malfunction severely impairs rear visibility when reversing, creating a significant safety hazard. The distorted image increases the risk of backing into pedestrians, objects, or other vehicles, especially in crowded areas or where children may be present. Problem confirmation: the problem has been reproduced multiple times by me. It has not yet been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. Inspection history: the vehicle has not yet been inspected for this specific issue by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or other parties. Warning lamps / messages: no warning lamps or dashboard error messages appear when the failure occurs. The first occurrence was around [insert approximate date/mileage], and the problem has been ongoing since then. Additional information: I am aware that Ford has an active recall for backup camera failures on certain models. My vehicle exhibits the same symptoms, but my make/model is not currently included in that recall. This is an ongoing problem. Not one specific incident.
