Consumer Review Video - 2013 Ford Flex Limited 3.5L V6 Turbo Sport Utility (4 Door)
The 2013 Ford Flex Limited is a moderately easy SUV to maintain. The components of the spare tire are easily accessible in the rear of the vehicle. This keeps the tire and jack kit ready to go in case of emergency. While it can be a tight reach, accessing the front turn signal is relatively easy to do on this car. You only need to reach behind the housing for access to the bulb. Checking the oil level is easy to do on this car, as the oil dipstick is easily accessible in the engine bay.
There are some difficult aspects to repairing the 2013 Ford Flex Limited. In order to check the transmission fluid level, you will have to remove the cover to the air filter housing. This is an extra step that you won’t find on other vehicles. To drain the oil, you will have to remove a cover underneath the vehicle for access to the drain plug. This requires you to crawl beneath the vehicle, and can be a pain to do. Removing the cabin air filter can be tough, as you will have to lower the glove box in order to access the panel that the filter is located behind.
