2016 Ford Flex

GAS SMELL AND ELECTRONIC ISSUES. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW. I FIRST NOTICED SMELLING GASOLINE AFTER THE FIRST OIL CHANGE, SO I HAD DRIVEN SEVERAL MONTHS.THE DEALERSHIP BLAMED IT ON MY UNDERCOATING STATING THAT'S WHAT I'M SMELLING.IT'S GAS DEFINITELY.I ASKED THEM TO DRIVE IT A WEEK SINCE THE SMELL COMES AND GOES.THEY REFUSED.IT STILL DOES IT AND I HAVE GIVEN UP TRYING TO GET THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND THE ISSUE.THEY DID STATE THE FLEX IS THE SAME BASE AS THE POLICE VEHICLE THAT HAS THE GAS EMISSION LEAK.2ND PROBLEM IS "NO KEY DETECTED" LIGHT COMES ON WHEN DRIVING.JUST YESTERDAY MY BACK UP CAM STAYED ON WHILE DRIVING.IT WAS DISTRACTING AND I FELT A HAZZARD.I TRIED TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON AND THAT DIDN'T WORK.AFTER PARKING FOR AN HOUR AND TRYING AGAIN THINGS WENT BACK TO NORMAL.WHEN THE BACK UP CAM WAS LOCKED ON THE RADIO CONTROLS DIDN'T WORK AND THE VOICE COMMAND DID NOT WORK.I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY STATED THEY "CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS IT IS CURRENLTY MALFUNCTONING". NOT VERY REASSURING TO KNOW.THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS UNWILLING TO HELP RESOLVE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUES.I COULD CRASH IF THE BACK UP CAM IS ON WHILE DRIVING FORWARD (DUE TO DISTRACTION).IF NO KEY IS DETECTED WHEN DRIVING WILL THE ENGINE SHUT OFF?THE GAS SMELL IS A CONCERN BECAUSE I SHOULD NOT BE BREATHING GAS!GAS SMELL IS WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING- PARKED OR MOVING BUT THE SMELL COMES AND GOES.THE ELECTRONIC ISSUE WAS A CONCERN BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION BUT IT ALSO DID IT WHILE NOT IN MOTION.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE CAR SEDDENLY ACCELERATES. I COULD FEEL THE PETAL DROP OUT FROM UNDER MY FOOT. I PRESSED THE BRAKES AND THE CAR SPEAD UP WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK. I TRIED HITTING CANCEL ON THE CRUISE CONTROL (EVEN THOUGH I NEVER SET IT OR MESS WITH IT EVER) AND IT WOULD STILL ACCELERATE WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK. IT FINALLY WENT BACK TO NORMAL AFTER PUMPING THE BREAKS.

DROVE MY 2016 FORD FLEX I TRIED TO AVOID ANIMAL ON ROAD AND STEERING ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON COULDNT STEER AND HIT A POLE. THE DEALERSHIP WOULDNT LOOK AT CAUSE I HAD IT TOWED THERE TOLD ME I HAD TO GO WHERE MY INUSRANCE WOULD FIX IT I HAD NO CAR FOR FOUR MONTHS THERES NO RECALL ON IT CAUSE ITS A NEW TRUCK THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THIS FLEX IN 2010-2016 GETTING THE BRUSHOFF FROM MY DEALER

PURCHASED A NEW 2016 FORD FLEX ON JULY 29, 2016, DROVE IT MOST OF THE DAY ON SATURDAY AND SMELLED EXHAUST FUMES MOSTLY EVERY TIME I EXILIRATED. WENTTO URGENT CARE SICK FROM EXHAUST FUME POISONING, GOT WORSE AS DAY WENT BY AND WENT TO A REGULAR HOSPITAL ER. BROUGHT VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER ON MONDAY AND AFTER THEM RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, IT WAS FAULTY VENT IN REAR CAUSING EXHAUSTING TO ENTER INTO INTERIOR.

EXPERIENCED SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND MANAGED TO GET TO SHOULDER OF HIGHWAY. TURNED VEHICLE OFF, RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES AND EVENTUALLY MADE IT TO DEALERSHIP.
