-The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into why B-style trim pieces fall from Ford Flex SUVs.
Nearly 36,000 Ford Flex vehicles of the 2019 model year are the primary focus of the research, but NHTSA says that complaints about B-Pilla Trim have also been separated from 2016-2018 Flex SUVs.
Safety regulators say that the 2016-2018 Ford Flex B-style complaints will also be investigated to determine agreements or differences in B-pillar trim detachments in the 2019 models.
According to complaints submitted by flex owners, the B-Stijl trim pieces fell without warning from the vehicles while driving on highway speeds. This can cause problems for all vehicles behind the Flex vehicles, something that occurred at least once when the detached upholstery became a vehicle behind the flex.
The Ford Flex SUVs 2019 have received the largest number of complaints about detached B-style trim.
According to a complaint submitted by a Ford Flex -owner 2019:
“Het toetsenloze toetsenbord-Driver-zijden B-Pilder-trimpaneel van de voordeur kwam los tijdens het rijden op de I-95 vandaag (ongeveer 70 km / u). Het was blijkbaar niet los voor dit evenement. Het ontsnapte en raakte het achterste passagiersraam. Dit was een veiligheidsprobleem omdat het raam naar beneden was, het was het raam, als het venster was, het raam was, het raam was, het was een beetje een voorsprong On the glass, it was the dealer before the start of the glass.
Safety regulators will study the problem and determine how serious it is and all the ways in which it influences safety. Researchers could close this first probe without further action, or NHTSA could upgrade the research into a technical analysis.
It is also possible safety regulators Ford can advise that a Ford Flex return promotion must be issued.
Carcomplaints.com will update our website with results from the Ford Flex Detached B-Pillar Trim research.
