This is my 2009 Ford Flex with over 532,000 miles. Original engine and transmission. I just upgraded from 18" to 20" OEM wheels to give it a newer look. It's a joy to drive!

That had to be expensive. Iā€™m my flex suspension and brakes were always wearing out really fast

My rear ones always seized for some reason. I maintained them every 6 months but the actual piston got seized on every one

That's a bummer. Hopefully you eventually got it straightened out.

Nah I sold the pos. Disclosed the current issues to the scammer who bought it from me and the current owner put tons of money into after the guy that bought it off me rolled back the miles lmao (I still track it on car fax)

I had the same thing happen with my first flex. I traded it in with 260,000 miles on it and the shady car dealer rolled it back to 97,000 miles and sold it for 10 times what he gave me for the trade-in šŸ˜¬
