I started my car and the check engine light came on. I have had no issues and the car had not been doing anything different. I had it checked and I got the code p025b. I was leaving the next morning to go to work and the car would crank but then it cut off as soon as I got out of the driveway in the middle of the road. I only have 90k miles on my car which is early for the fuel pump. I also read that some of the same model cars as mine have a fuel pump recall. I really need this to be checked because it just stopped out of no where. I was told by the ford dealership that I would have to pay to have this checked to see if it was a malfunction.

I was traveling on the i24 at 65 MPH when the ford flex suddenly began to slow to zero. It was still running but would not accelerate. It nearly caused a major accident. I coaster to a stop and turned off the car. After a few minutes, I cranked it and it ran ok for about 5 minutes, but the check engine light was on. I drove it to the ford shop immediately. They said the accelerator assembly was defective. I replaced it at a cost of over $400. The vehicle is only 3 years old with only 40,000 miles. I saw online that this had happened to others as well. This is an extremely dangerous problem that has occurred with many flex owners and should be recalled before others lose their life.

I went to the local kfc for dinner during my lunch break and when I came back to my vehicle after getting my food inside I started my car and proceeded to put it in reverse. As soon as I put the vehicle in reverse it proceeded to go forward instead. So I checked to make sure I put it in reverse and put the vehicle back in park and then re-engaged reverse and it went forward again. This time the brake pedal went to the floor and the check engine light came on. I immediately called the dealership and they advised me to turn the vehicle off and then on again to see if that fixed the issue. They did not advise me to do a vehicle history report that is equipped with my vehicle to see if the computer could find something. The service adviser at the dealership advised me that he never heard of this issue before and for me to watch it and if it happens again to call roadside assistance and have it towed in since that is a safety issue.
