See attached document for complaint. I am writing because back in January I received a notice of recall to have the rearview camera replaced because of inverted, blank, or distorted image. I had that camera replaced for those very same symptoms several weeks before the recall was announced. After working at a Ford Dealer for 23 years, I do know that you refund the cost of any work done that would have fallen under a recall. The notice says that parts are unavailable now, but they were available, within on week, when I had the problem corrected. As such, I am asking for a refund now, because I know that some parts take nearly forever to get. For those vehicle sitting on lots that cannot be sold because of an open recall is very frustrating for the dealer. Again, I am asking for a refund now for work that would have fallen under this recall, #24S75.

My camera (rearview) had been dysfunctional for quite sometime and I could not use it. I finally got it fixed 1/9/25 when I brought my car in for a oil change. I bought a great warranty and only had to pay my deductible of $100. Within a month, I got a recall letter for the same reason with the camera. I called Ford corp office and they told me to get the invoice from Ford and send it with the letter to you for reimbursement. So excited to get me $100.00 back for this. Ford highlighted the part for you since the oil change was on the invoice. Any questions please call me at work at 702-XXX-XXXX. Thank you.

So. The b Pilar thing is about to fly off, it’s making a whistling noise. The back up camera doesn’t work and makes my whole panel stop working leading to not letting me control climate so it’s stuck blowing heat. I have young children so I haven’t been able to drive the car much for about two-3 months now. Ford told me they can’t do anything til they have the parts but I’m stuck with no vehicle and still paying. It’s too dangerous to drive it tho.

On or about January 22, 2026 when I put my 2019 Ford Flex in reverse the rear view camera displayed a torn and/or flickering picture for the first time ever that I had seen. The image will occasionally stop with an inverted camera image. Since then the camera display on the dash board will at times also display a message saying something like "rear view camera not available" with no camera image at all. Occasionally the camera image will be normal intermittently. Moving the transmission select lever to park or other locations besides reverse and back to reverse does not seem to correct the camera image problem. This problem was first noticed in my 2019 Ford Flex on or about January 22, 2026. About 13 months ago I received a recall notice in the USPS mail advising that I would be contacted about the recall for this problem. So far, no contact has been received by me. Now that the camera problem has started in my vehicle trying to back up and avoid obstacles or people has become a large concern due to the blind spot behind the vehicle without the camera working.
NHTSA #11713092
I just purchased a 2019 ford flex in September from Bessette Motors in Carrington ND. When I purchased the vehicle the rear backup camera had an inverted image. The dealership told me they would bring my car back in the following week to fix the camera because the said someone must have flipped the camera over accidently. They have not fixed it, nor they did not tell me the camera issue was part of a recall. I have had the vehicle now for over a month and still have an upside-down back up camera. It has nearly caused multiple accidents because I cannot turn it off and it's very distracting being inverted. I see the recall for my vehicle has been out since December 2024. That is a long time for no fix!! It is dangerous to continue to drive my vehicle the way it is with no fix

The backup camera is dysfunctional. It shows an inverted, upside-down image, sometimes it is just black or unavailable, it is glitchy. It is available for inspection upon request. The errors have made it unsafe to backup or see oncoming (from the rear) traffic. It is a known issue with a known recall. It is still ongoing with no solution "parts are not available" - for an unreasonable amount of time. It's a 2019. It's had problems since it was designed, yet it's SIX YEARS LATER and FORD has NOT come up with a solution. I have had it inspected by the FORD service department at the local dealership, and they have no clue other than that it's under recall without a solution. Sometimes the system tells you the camera isn't working, other times it doesn't. Where is the enforcement?
NHTSA #11684027
Back up camera cuts out/ goes blank at random. This is a safety issue as objects behind the car can not be seen. There currently a recall for this issue, however, only certain months of production. The recall needs to widen to include all 2019 Ford Flex vehicles. No warning prior to notify it is not working until rear camera is activated by placing the car in reverse. Screen is blank.
NHTSA #11674806
B pillar keyless entry panel became mostly detached while car was operating at highway speeds. My safety and the safety of others was compromised due to my alarm at the noise of the panel striking my vehicle. Panel struck my vehicle several times before the top half broke off and was lost, which also may have compromised the safety of drivers following me, as I did not see where it flew off to. Bottom half of panel is still attached by wiring and I have it secured to vehicle with tape. No warnings or notifications preceded this event. I didn't report it yet because I have not had time to find a replacement part. I recently saw that this may be a widespread issue among 2019 Flexes and not something I somehow caused to happen.
NHTSA #11680027
When the backup camera first malfunctioned everything was upside down. When I went online I was told to disconnect the battery cable, which seemed to fix it until the next time I put it in reverse. Now it works one out of ten times. It either shows objects upside down or the screen is filled with flashing blue and green or goes completely blank. It then shows "Camera Unavailable," i am very dependent on this camera so I'm anxious to get it repaired.

Rear Camera intermeitently works or completely fails. Was backing out of a parking space and could not see and a car speed by the back up warning did beep and saved the day - if my camera had been working I would have seen the on coming car a little bit sooner. it's been months since the recall was issued when will a remedy be available? this should not take this long for Ford to remedy?

A recall notice was issued for my vehicle in December 2024 for rear camera issues. It is now October 2025 - ten months after the recall notice. According to the Ford website recall service is still not available. Only approximately 30,000 vehicles were impacted by the recall. I have been without a rear camera now for over 8 months due to this issue. It has led to several near accidents while I was backing out between other vehicles in parking lots. This is a safety issue. Why has this issue not been resolved yet? Please contact Ford and push this issue on them.

Hello, This is my second 2019 Ford Flex Limited my previous vehicle did not have an issue with the rear back up camera. My current one does but it vin# is not on the the list.

A Safety recall for my 2019 Ford Flex rear-view camera has been open since the beginning of the year. A check with my local Ford dealer indicates a probable solution by March 2026.

This recall has been since the Dec 20, 2024 and there is no resolution for this. Called the local dealership multiple times and they had no additional information and no ETA on resolution. This is safety concern due to the visibility at the back of the vehicle when backing up. This is clearly not being resolved in timely manner. Also note: the lack of this resolution has limited my resale value of this vehicle which has/is affecting many others that own this vehicle. Note the camera started glitching about a year ago.

The recalled B Pillar has detached this weekend in the front of the left driver's side B pillar- it seems as it being held on by the keyless entry components. It is at approx 25 degree angle to the body of the car. As an added consequence of the redirected airflow- the driver's side door is very cold as air is getting in where it previously didn't. I scheduled with the AutoNation Amherst dealership for evaluation and repair. When I called back to move the appointment it was cancelled because I was told there is no fix/no parts. ???

1) Trim piece that includes the keyless entry pad on driver's door, broke off while driving 80 mph on highway. The keyless entry pad was left hanging on by the electrical cords. It is available for inspection as it has not been fixed yet. 2) I didn't see where it went, but it had the potential to fly off and hit any cars behind me. 3) Car has been inspected by mechanic at Ford dealership and provided cost for part to fix. 4) Car has not been inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance rep, etc. 5)No warning lamps, messages or any symptoms prior to failure. I honestly thought something hit my car. I ended up pulling over to assess the situation. It was then that I noticed the panel broke off and the remaining piece was left hanging.

While driving down a highway at 70mph, the keypad on the driver's door detached from the body and was hanging by wires. We had to pull over. We couldn't get it back in so we put the window down and had to zip tie it to the door frame, leaving the window down for our entire long trip. We were afraid it was going to fly off and hit the car behind us, causing damage and a safety hazard. We took the car to Stevens Ford Jersey City and had it repaired. This is a cost we paid for. The only warming sign was a constant whistling sound we would hear.

NHTSA #11681751
The black glossy plastic applique on the Driver's Door Window Frame (also containing the Keyless Entry Keypad) blew off on the Expressway at approximately 70 MPH. While the wire harness retained the lower portion of the applique, the applique cracked from the force of the separation, for which the bottom third of the applique hung from the harness whereby the upper two-thirds of the applique became a projectile and flew onto the expressway. After sharing this with a friend (also owning a 2019 Ford Flex), he said his came off last year. Upon further studying this matter, it appears that in Ford's wisdom they only used small strips of double-sided tape to retain this; for which there are many reports of this same failure mode: [XXX] In their infinite wisdom, Ford now only sell the Applique Panel with the Keypad (Ford Part Number BA8Z7420555AC ), rendering it at a MSRP of $228.83 just for the replacement part. The Ford Parts Counter Person said they sell a lot of these, due to the poor design and retention. As this is a hazard to others on the road (e.g. potentially becoming a projectile) Ford should be forced to Recall this defect.

The keyless entry keypad - driver sides B-Pillar front door’s trim panel came loose while driving on I-95 today (approximately 70 mph). It was not apparently loose before this event. It dislodged and hit the rear passenger window. This is a safety issue because, were the window down, it would have hit a child passenger. Additionally, with the force that was exerted on the window, breaking the glass was definitely a possibility. Lastly, it was very startling to the driver. The dealership did confirm this issue. They provided a TSB - TSB20-2427. There was no warning that this would occur.

2019 Flex , Odometer reading 58,190. Coolant seen on lower part of engine along with low coolant level. Took to dealership who confirmed the water pump failed and was leaking. We were lucky it was caught early before coolant leaked into the engine, causing the engine to stop while driving and permanently damage engine. There are no warnings for this when it happens (coolant leaking into engine),we were just fortunate to notice low coolant. Because there are no coolant warnings, it can lead to catastrophic engine damage while operating vehicle.There are no guarantees that this will not happen again, only parts are under two year warranty. After research, Ford knew this was an issue with this engine when we bought it, not only on the Flex but same engine on other models, yet continued to sell them. Cost $3,391.71 to repair. Because it is over 5 year warranty no help offered, yet is under 60K miles. There are other complaints regarding this same issue yet Ford continues to not acknowledge faulty design of engine. 2) still waiting for rrecall/repair of backup camera, 3) also waiting-recall/repair for plastic pillar covers. Both of these are under a recall for over a year. NHTSA has other complaints of this from consumers.

I have recieved the notice from the manufacturer as expected. I have been notified by my local dealership of the recall. I have attempted several times since notification to have it corrected. I have been told on every occasion the parts were not available. Yet, a bit of searching on Ford's own parts website, I can order the part and have it delivered by Feb 26. At every service visit, the dealership has kindly reminded me of the needed recalls. I question, no parts? Is ford just thinking I will get tired and just stop. No parts in stock should mean, NONE in Ford's entire inventory. The part in question is only used on Ford Flex. No other models use this device. The reserved devices cannot be "for new car builds". I believe we are on the edge of a "BAD FAITH" arguement. An issued "Safety Recall" should not mean "Suggested when you have time Recall.

The back up camera in the vehicle almost never works properly. The majority of the time, while in reverse, the screen is blue or black. It will sometimes show the camera video feed but it will be upside down before the screen turns to black. It will than say that the camera is unavailable. If the back up camera is not operation, it can be very difficult to see small objects or young people directly behind the vehicle. The symptoms are the same as described in NHTSA recall number 24V951 which affects the same vehicle line and model year as this vehicle. This VIN is not affected by recall 24V951.

I brought my 2019 Ford Flex to World Ford Pensacola for two open safety recalls: 25SA9 (Rearview Camera) and 25SB8 (B-Pillar Trim). Despite the B-pillar trim being already detached (failed component), the dealer refused to document the inspection for recall 25SB8. Furthermore, on Invoice #XXX, they incorrectly documented recall 25SA9 as ‘Only for Mustang’, even though my vehicle is a Ford Flex. This dealer is providing false documentation and refusing to record safety-critical defects on the official OASIS report.

The power steering system failed and numerous other electrical systems showed as broken as a result.

The steering rack is not the failure, it is the module. However, the module is built into the steering rack. Can't replace it separately. So In order to replace the module, I have to replace the rack." This failure caused the power steering to stop working, making it extremely difficult to drive the vehicle. The repair cost over $4000.

I am submitting a formal complaint regarding multiple premature and potentially safety-related failures on my 2019 Ford Flex, purchased new on 11/25/2019. These include: ️ 1. Rear Suspension / Rear Toe Link Concern Although my vehicle is not included in Ford’s rear toe link recall (20S62), it is experiencing the same symptoms: Rear-end instability and drifting Uneven or premature rear tire wear Clunking or loose feeling from the rear suspension I have an appointment scheduled for August 6, 2025 to inspect the rear toe bar links, as I suspect they are defective or misaligned — the exact condition the recall addresses. 2. Water Pump Failure The engine water pump failed before 100,000 miles, requiring a full replacement. This is a known issue in several Ford engines, and repair was required out-of-pocket despite the vehicle being well maintained. 3. Exterior Trim Detachment Multiple exterior trim pieces detached from the vehicle while driving, posing a road hazard to myself and others. These parts did not appear to be securely fastened from the factory. 4. Premature Tire Wear Rear tires wore out far earlier than expected — possibly linked to suspension or alignment issues, including the toe link concerns mentioned above. 5. Ongoing Electrical Failures Since August 2022, I have had to return to the dealership multiple times for electrical system issues: 8/3/2022 11/2/2022 2/14/2024 These included battery/electrical drain issues and warning system malfunctions, which affect the vehicle’s reliability and safety. These problems began less than 3 years after purchasing the car new. These issues raise serious concerns about the overall build quality and long-term safety of the 2019 Ford Flex. I am concerned that my vehicle may have: Been excluded from critical recalls, despite showing identical failure patterns Undergone multiple early mechanical and electrical repairs Developed safety-related defects that compromise both driver & public safety.

Along with problems from the current recalls (that still don't have remedies), our 2019 Ford Flex also has a faulty gas gauge. Not sure what component it would be considered, but even when we fill the tank up with gas, it doesn't register properly how much gas we have in the tank. It shouldn't be a guessing game as to how much gas is in the vehicle. I used to love Fords, but the combination of safety issues is concerning.
