Just a heads up. I have a 2016 Flex SEL and just received a notification Ford is recalling the B pillar trim.

2013 Limited AWD 108K $9500

Thinking of getting one, haven't owned one before. Family of 4 coming from a RAV4, torn between this and an Acura MDX. Owner says it's been babied and has had the timing belt and water pump done two years ago and has new brakes and tires in the last year and a half. I don't drive daily, only on weekends. Will it last and is it a good deal/price?

Fire extinguisher mount.

Has anyone mounted a fire extinguisher in their flex? If so where at? I've been thinking of getting one to keep in the car but im not sure where the best place to mount it would be. Any ideas? 2017 limited.

Forward Collision and Dashcam

Do any of you guys know if dashcam placement or dashcams in general affect forward collision/cruise control system. I have my dashcam behind the rearview mirror off towards the passenger side.

Weird stuttering

So driving down the street if I hit a bump sometimes it feels like there's a stuttering from the transmission, if I let off the throttle it stops. It doesn't happen every time, just sometimes, otherwise the transmission feels just fine no problems with heavy acceleration. does anyone have any idea what this could be? It's a 2018 limited with the Ecoboost.

Sync upgrade or new system

Just got my new to me 2015 SEL. I have the rear camera recall and saw that at least the one Ford dealer near me couldn't service the recall. Would the sync 3 upgrade correct this? Is that a better choice than just getting an aftermarket install or is the sync 3 upgrade just a purity thing?
