Some Ford Flex owners report experiencing unexpected engine shutdowns while driving, accompanied by a loss of power to the windows and difficulties with cranking the vehicle. These issues may stem from a faulty ignition switch, which can cause the engine to stall and result in electrical failures. Additionally, problems within the electrical system, such as loose battery connections or corroded battery posts, have been noted as contributing factors. Fuel system problems, including clogged fuel filters or fuel pump failures, can also lead to engine shutdowns and starting issues. Furthermore, some owners have reported that contaminated or old gasoline can cause similar symptoms. It is advised that affected owners seek inspection from a qualified mechanic to diagnose and resolve these issues promptly, as neglecting them can pose safety risks and affect the vehicle's functionality.
