I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. IT WAS REPAIRED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASSIONS FOR PROBLEMS STEMMING FROM THE WINDSHIELD SENSOR AS WELL AS THE MOLDING WAS NOT CORRECTLY PUT ON THE DOOR. NOW THE BENCH SEAT WILL NOT FOLD DOWN. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY APPARANT ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL ACCORDING TO THIS WEBSITE HTTP://WWW.FORDFLEX.NET/FORUMS/VIEWTOPIC.PHP?F=14&T=5363 THE CAR IS THREE YEARS OLD AND HAS 59K MILES ON IT BUT FOR A FAMILY WITH ONE CHILD, THIS MECHANISM SHOULD NOT BE DYSFUNCTIONAL. ITS NOT AS IF IT WAS GETTING A LOT WEAR AND TEAR FROM ACCESSING THE 3RD ROW SEATING AREA. IS FORD REVIEWING THESE COMPLAINTS? *TR

ENGINE
FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 40 MILES AN HOUR. IDIOT LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH AND THE CARS ENGINE TURNED OFF. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO GET CAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF ROAD. CAR CRANKED RIGHT BACK UP. 5 DAYS LATER WHILE SITTING IN A FAST FOOD LINE, SAME THING HAPPENED AND WAS ABLE TO CRANK CAR. CALLED DEALERSHIP IN TOWN, BROUGHT CAR IN AND THEY SAID, "NOTHING IS WRONG WITH YOUR CAR, COME AND GET IT" PICKED UP CAR. 2 DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING IT DOWN OUR STREET, I STOPPED TO GET MAIL ABOUT 9PM AND THE CAR TOTALLY DIED. NO POWER AT ALL. WAS STUCK IN PARK HAD TO BE TOWED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE I AM DRIVING!!! THANK GOD THAT IT HAS NOT HAPPENED WHILE GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR. CAR IS AT DEALERSHIP. HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR SEVERAL MONTHS. NOT A GOOD TRACK RECORD SO FAR! *TR
