What owners wrote

Purchase ford flex 2010 model, first complaint occur late january/february 2010, front brakes pads were not working and pulling hard. Return to dealership and they repaired the car, telling me this is an existing problem with three manufacture replacements already. I return in september 2010 with same problem, now I have waited over a week for parts on "back order" hoping this will be a permanent fix. Don't have car, still waiting.

Reported at 13,000 miles, September 2010

I recently experienced a brake failure on our 2010 ford flex. The right rear brake hose failed due to contact with the tire. This resulted in the brake pedal going to the floor and a significant decrease in braking performance. The brake hose failure was the result of improper routing of the brake line that happened when the caliper was replaced. The issue here is that the brake warning light never activated even after the brake pedal went to the floor several times.
