| 2009 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I HAVE A 2009 FORD FLEX BUILT OCTOBER 2008 WHICH STALLED YESTERDAY. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 10-20 MPH WHEN THE STALL OCCURED. RESTARTED THE CAR WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE RARE. FORTUNATELY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT SO I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR TO SAFETY. PLEASE NOTE THAT POWER STEERING WAS LOST DURING THE STALL. I WILL TAKE THE CAR TO GET A LOOK AT BY THE DEALER AND HOPE TO GET THIS FIXED. |
| 2009 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | INTERMITTENT NO START OF VEHICLE. TOWED TO DEALER AFTER 5 PREVIOUS INCIDENTS. DELIVERED TO DEALERSHIP IN SAME NO START BEHAVIOR. UPON INITIAL ATTEMPT A RELAY WAS REPLACED AS THE PCM (MAIN ENGINE COMPUTER) WAS NOT RECEIVING POWER. SERVICE ADVISOR CALLS TO INDICATE VEHICLE IS READY AND STARTS UP AFTER REPAIR. AT THE DEALERSHIP, PICKING UP THE VEHICLE, CAR STARTS UP, HOWEVER, DASH LIGHTS LIGHT UP, WARNING "CHECK AWD, CHECK THIS, CHECK THAT..." SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON AS WELL (THE WRENCH). SHUT THE CAR DOWN, TRY TO RESTART, WILL NOT RESTART. TECH IS WITH ME AND OBSERVES BEHAVIOR AND TRIES AS WELL. NO START AGAIN. TECH ATTEMPTS TO DOWNLOAD ERROR CODES. MENTIONS RFI INTERFERENCE. WILL BE DOING ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC. PREVIOUSLY, CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR STALLING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (65+). ENDED UP BEING A SOAKED PCM (MAIN ENGINE COMPUTER). THIS TOOK TWO TRIPS (TOWED BOTH TIMES). THIS IS NOW FOUR TIMES TO REPAIR THE SAME NON-RUNNING / NO START DEFECT. THE REAR BRAKES WERE ALSO REPAIRED DUE TO DRAGGING CALIPERS AS PER TSB 10-7-2. *TR |
