The Ford Flex model faces a problem with its water pump, which can lead to engine flooding because the pump is located inside the engine. Although there hasn't been a recall specifically for the water pump, some NHTSA Vehicle Safety Recalls for Ford Flex models address issues with fuel pumps, suspension, fuel system, airbags, and others – but not the water pump. If you discover an issue with your water pump, it's recommended to go to your nearby mechanic shop to get the part ordered and replaced.

    The Ford Flex with the Duratec 3.5L engine is being recalled because of a potential issue with the water pump failing suddenly, leading to coolant leaking into the engine.

    I'm having some trouble with the water pump on my 2013 Ford Flex.

    I own a 2012 Ford Flex and had to get the water pump replaced, and let me tell you, the cost was outrageous.

    I own a 2013 Ford Flex that's currently experiencing a water leak. After Ford inspected the engine to determine the source of the leak, they informed me that it's the water pump that needs to be replaced. The repair cost they quoted me was a whopping $2600! This is outrageous considering the water pump is situated inside the engine, requiring extensive disassembly of the motor to access and replace it. The design of placing the water pump inside the engine is flawed, resulting in excessive labor costs for consumers. Ford should consider issuing a recall for this faulty hardware.

    I replaced the water pump on my 2008 Ford Edge, but I found that it was too costly.

    I own a 2014 Ford Flex, which is an awesome ride. But when the water pump failed, it was a real headache. The repair cost set me back almost $3000. It's unbelievable that Ford hasn't issued a recall for this issue. It's absolutely disappointing.

    I purchased a 2011 Ford Flex in April 2022, but sadly it didn't make it past September of the same year due to a water pump failure. Now, I'm dealing with the issue of coolant mixed with oil in the oil pan. You can reach me at Extraordinaireghost@gmail.com.
