2013 Ford Flex

CAR JUST DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND THE STEERING SYSTEMLOCKS UP. THERE HAS BEEN A KNOWN RECALL FOR A FUEL CONTROL MODULE ON FORD FLEX, THERE IS ALSO KNOWN FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS WITH FORD MAKES AND MODELS. I HAVE LOST POWER TWICE. HAD AT THE MECHANIC LAST MONTH. COULD NOT GET IT TO DIE FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK IN THE SHOP. NOW IT IS DEAD IN A PARKING LOT AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FLEX. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE "POWER STEERING FAILURE" MESSAGE DISPLAYED AND THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED, WHICH MADE THE STEERING WHEEL VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (NASHVILLE FORD, 723 S. DAVIS ST., NASHVILLE GA, 31639) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE BOTH NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED THE POWER ASSIST GOES OUT AND BECOMES MANUAL STEERING WHICH IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS.IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIME CAUSING US AN EXPENSE EACH TIME. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON THIS YEAR AND MAKE FOR THE STEERING BUT FOR SOME REASON FORD IS NOT COVERING ALL OF THEM. OURS IS ONE OF THEM NOT COVERED AND WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE THE PROBLEM.

WELL I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREET AND A LIGHT COME UP SAID POWER STEERING SERVICE AFTER 10 SECONDS THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN SUPER HARD TO TURN AND TURN TO THE RIGHT SIDE THANK GOD I DID NOT HIT A CAR BUT I CALL TO THE DEALER I TELL THEM THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE STEERING GEAR RACK AND THEY SAID NOT FOR MY CAR WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING AND ALL FORD FLEX 2013 THE PART COST $1300 BRAND NEW PLUS LABOR I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND THE SEAT BELT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY

MY FORD FLEX STALLS WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE FROM 10 MPH (IN RESIDENTIAL AREA) TO 80 MPH ON HIGHWAY. ELECTRICAL IS STILL WORKING THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND I LOSE CONTROL OF GAS/BRAKES. THREE WARNING SIGNS POP UP AT THE SAME TIME: CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM, COLLISION WARNING NOT AVAILABLE, AND SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC. ONCE I RESTART THE CAR, THE CODES WILL DISAPPEAR. THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST, BUT NOW IT'S OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. I'M TOO SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW. FORD ISNT BEING MUCH HELP. I NEED HELP.
