2022 Ford Bronco Sport Problems & Complaints

I need to open a safety case for my vehicle. I am concerned with my vehicle. Car was having trouble starting on 4/16/2026 while parked at home giving a "full accessory power active" error. I called Ford and I was told it could be a battery issue. Triple A was called and help was dispatched. The Triple A representative did not jump start the battery and instead gave directions to power up the car back up with no electrical current necessary. Car started after trouble shooting it and it was tested through the night just like Triple A directed. The following day on 4/17/26 the car had no issue starting and all was normal. While testing the vehicle it started to produce a strong burning rubbery smell. I opened the hood and there was a leaking sound followed by a light smoke and leakage near the battery. A video was taken if needed. The smell was extremelly strong and I am reporting this safety concern as the VIN associated with the vehicle currently has an unrepaired recall with no available remedy yet by FORD - 25V467. The safety risk associated with this recall number is fire under hood due to possible injector crack that could lead to fuel accumulating on top of the engine. I want this issue recorded as I am concerned with the safety of my family.

I have brought the car in both to Marin Ford and Serramonte Ford for a transmission fluid leak. They have confirmed there is transmission fluid pooling under the hood but are either unable or unwilling to repair the source of the leak. Car is still under warranty - hoping they are not waiting for the warranty to expire and for my the car to start failing. The brakes also make a loud whining noise while driving in reverse on my 2022 Bronco Sport. The people at Serramonte Ford in Colma, CA tell me this is standard for Ford Broncos and Escape and there is not a fix. It sounds like a whale call and hard to believe the issue can't be resolved. I have read other complaints saying the saying the same thing and Ford charging 1k once out of warranty to replace pads, etc.

Rats are attracted to the soy based wire coating. They ate every coating off every wire in the entire car, which cost a fortune to fix! I want a new car without that wire coating. I shouldn't be responsible for this mess! It's a known problem. My car is spotless! No food or drinks allowed. The guy who fixed it said he had never seen anything like it, and was shocked at the damage because at first glance my car looked brand new. He also stated most of the damage probably happened when it sat in a field waiting on the computer chip before I purchased it. Either way its absolutely ridiculous to take such good care of a car and have THIS going on!

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V467000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that there was an abnormal fuel odor coming from the vehicle. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The dealer was contacted; however, the part was not yet available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 58,078.

Fuel pump gave of emissions that came through the vents and caused me to loose control and the smell immobilized me. The Dr said it may be carbon monoxide as they did test in hospital for 5 days I was lucky my wife was driving in front of me to get me out

I started a Turo business and because of the recall on the Ford 2022 bronco sport I haven’t been able to rent my car out for the last eight months. Turo will not allow you to rent a car that has a recall this recall has been going on for eight months and there is no fix in the near future and it may be until the middle of July until we’ll hear anything else about a remedy to fix this issue with the recall not being ready for another 3 to 4 months this is gonna put me one year of not being able to make any income off of that car and Forde says there is nothing they can do about it. They will not issue a rental car or a car to use in the meantime until this issue is fixed so I have done nothing wrong and as the customer, I am the one that has to lose a years worth of income because of something that Forde can’t fix in a timely manner.

Fuel system 1. I don't know what failed because the dealership didn't do anything to repair it. It is available for inspection upon request 2. Intensely strong fuel odor at the front of the car, inside and out. Strong exhaust odor at the back of the car. It is not safe to operate a car if it smells like fuel. 3. Dealership had it for 3 weeks and said there is nothing wrong. Now they are ignoring me. I am taking it to an independent mechanic. 4. Ford said they inspected it but they didn;t because there's all kinds of issues with this car. 5. No warnings. Suspension 1. It literally howls when braking in reverse. Spring popping sound when turning corners. 2. When fuel odor or suspension is an issue, it is always a safety issue. 3. Dealership said it is normal. It is not. 4. See above. 5. No warnings Body 1. From fender flare was packed full of rocks and debris. The dealership said they won't do anything despite the little box with their check mark next to "trim". Worst dealership ever. 2. If rocks can get packed in there they can also come out, in any direction and any speed.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V467000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The contact stated that while driving with the RPM at 2,000 RPM, the vehicle sputtered and skipped, with the check engine and power train warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed, and determined that the fuel injectors needed to be replaced, but parts for the recall repair were not yet available. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

This 2022 Bronco Sport was purchased from a Ford dealership "as is", but I purchased an extended warranty due to this. Since purchase the vehicle has been in the Ford Service approximately 60 days combined for the following: Tork converter replacement (part of the transmission system), 3 weeks; water pump (cooling system failure) 2 weeks; CV axil (drivetrain component) 2 weeks; battery replacement (recall), another recall (unknown); now an exhaust leak still has not been fixed (another recall).

Dealer has not replaced. Also my brakes are always squeek8ng when I back up. I have had all new brakes put on car. Still does it

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, several unknown warning lights flashed on the instrument panel and then disappeared. Additionally, there was a soft, audible chime coming from the rear of the vehicle, and the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth systems activated the connections despite no known devices being present. The contact was concerned about the electrical system inside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer but was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000.

February 26, 2026, Concern: Ford Recall 25S76 / NHTSA 25V467 – No remedy available. My vehicle previously had an earlier Ford recall for fuel leakage and fire risk. The dealer installed a drain tube as an interim fix about 18 months ago. Ford has now issued a new recall 25S76 / NHTSA Recall 25V467 August 2025 for a similar hazard involving cracked fuel injectors that can cause fuel to accumulate on the engine. Ford states that parts are not available and has provided no timeline for a permanent repair. Because this is the second fire risk recall for a related issue and the prior fix did not resolve the underlying problem, I am concerned that the manufacturer has not provided a timely or effective remedy. I am requesting that NHTSA review this delay and include my case in its monitoring of this recall.

I was driving on the highway and my entire car shut down right in the middle of the highway and would not turn back on or shift into any gears. It was making horrible sounds and was really scary to be dead in the middle of the highway. The shop called and just informed me a bearing broke loose and sent metal shards throughout the entire transmission and it needs fully replaced. This appears to be an issue with BRONCOS, but my vin# is not included. Hoping other people report this claim so this issue can get resolved. I hope no one else experiences this safety concern.

A manufacturer recall was issued for a defect involving the fuel system (fuel injectors), but no remedy or repair timeline has been provided. Due to the safety risk (potential fuel leakage and/or fire), I cannot reasonably use the vehicle without concern for liability if harm were to occur. Additionally, the recall must be marked as resolved in the NHTSA database before the vehicle can be returned to normal use, which is not possible without an available fix. The extended and indefinite repair timeline creates a significant burden, as the vehicle remains unusable with no clear resolution date. I have contacted both the dealer and the manufacturer, but no satisfactory resolution or timeline has been provided. No warning lights or prior symptoms were observed. The issue has not been independently reproduced, as it is a manufacturer-identified defect. The vehicle has not been repaired because no remedy is available. Overall, this represents a safety concern and loss of use, with no timeline provided for when the recall will be resolved.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormally strong odor inside the vehicle, which made the contact feel ill. The contact associated the odor with carbon monoxide. The vehicle was driven to a dealer, where it was diagnosed, and the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V467000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Smelling fuel strong when driving and the engine lags and almost stalls when coming to a stop and going very dangerous

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V467000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). The contact stated that while driving around the neighborhood at slow speeds, the "Forward Collision Warning" system failed to function as intended. The contact stated that the alarm sounded while there were vehicles parked on the street. Occasionally, the vehicle experienced phantom braking. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, while driving on the freeway at an undisclosed speed, the "Forward Collision Warning" alarm sounded, even though no vehicles were nearby. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

Below recall was issued but Ford says that my vehicle VIN is not included. Dealer says I have to pay out of pocket to replace the leaking engine oil separator on my vehicle. Oil leakage was observed around engine area and could have had an increase risk of engine catching fire when hot and running. MARCH 25, 2022NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 22V191000 Engine Oil Leak An oil leak in the presence of an ignition source such as hot engine or exhaust components, can increase the risk of a fire. Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2020-2022 Escape and 2021-2022 Bronco Sport vehicles equipped with 1.5L engines. The engine oil separator housing may crack and develop an oil leak.

On 12/22/2025, my fiancé and I purchased a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport from LaFontaine Ford in Lansing, MI. During the initial purchase, we were not aware of any recalls or vehicle defects with the Bronco Sport. Roughly one month later, the check engine light came on, and after a thorough vehicle inspection, we were notified that there was a recall on the vehicle in regards to bad fuel injector(s), and that we needed to bring the vehicle back to the dealership for a computer update. After dropping the vehicle off at the dealership, we were notified that the engine was blown due to a cylinder misfire as a result of a bad fuel injector. We were also advised that the dealership had already completed the computer update prior to our purchase and cleared out the codes (critical misfire). The negligence of the dealership put my fiancé in extreme danger with selling us a vehicle with a critical fault that could cause a vehicle fire! The problem still has not been remedied as Ford is asking up to pay $3,483.00 for a new engine with them covering $4,457.00. I believe all of this should be covered under the recall and/or powertrain warranty since this issue has been well documented with Ford Bronco's prior to us purchasing the vehicle.

See attached document for complaint.

The car sputters when fuel is added but will drive. Went to get it checked out. Ford said it was spark plugs and a canister purge valve stuck. Got it looked at for a second opinion and they said the plugs were fine and the note saying the canister purge valve was stuck, but the canister purge valve was operating fine. Second opinion said it was throwing a transmission fault code. Possibly solenoid somewhere or an issue with the PCM, TCM or BCM. Then the car started shifting really hard, getting stuck in gears and shutting off. I had to get it towed to my house. I’m thinking there’s a bad PCM, TCM or BCM in this model and it just hasn’t been mentioned yet. Historically, Ford says it’s the spark plugs often and other issues and take several times to fix the issue. Last time it has a shut off problem, they tried two different things before replacing a solenoid somewhere and it lasted for a while up until now. Seems like they can’t really determine what’s wrong with it even after paying for the professional diagnostic fee

I was driving to work in my 2022 Ford Bronco Sport when traffic ahead of me stopped suddenly. I was able to come to a complete stop. The vehicle behind me did not see the stopped traffic until the last second and rear-ended my vehicle at an estimated speed of approximately 50 mph. The impact was severe enough that my vehicle was pushed forward into the car in front of me, resulting in a multi-vehicle collision. Despite the severity of the impact, none of my airbags deployed. My vehicle sustained significant damage and was declared a total loss. I sustained serious injuries in this crash and continue to experience long-term, life-altering effects. Given the force of the collision and the extent of the damage, I am concerned about why the airbag system did not deploy and whether there may be a defect in the airbag or crash sensor system. I am submitting this complaint so the incident can be reviewed and investigated to determine whether this presents a broader safety issue.

I was driving the car and had been noticing an aroma, that I couldn't identify all morning. I happened to look over to the passenger side of the car and smoke was coming from the front of the seat. It was just about to catch fire. The seat heater was on and I turned it off. I poured water from a water bottle on the burned spot, that is about the size of your hand, and it sizzled until it cooled down. I contacted my dealer and sent them a photo. They had never heard of this occurring on any vehicle with heated seats ever happening before.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. While driving approximately 50 MPH, the contact received an alert indicating that the engine was overheating, with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact pulled over and became aware that the coolant reservoir was empty. Upon opening the hood, there was white smoke coming from the engine, with a strong coolant odor coming from the vehicle. After adding coolant, the vehicle restarted but only drove a short distance before the coolant leaked out. The vehicle was driven to the residence, where a mobile mechanic inspected the vehicle and determined that it was not repairable and that the engine had cracked from overheating due to the loss of coolant. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

At a little over 75,000 miles, I had a warning light come on that basically said there was a problem shifting between 7th & 8th gear and it put my car into safe mode. After getting it to a dealership, I'm told it needs a new transmission and was quoted $10,000. That's incredible excessive for a 3 year old car and reading through many online forums, I'm not the only one this has happened to with this car.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that there were strong exhaust fumes inside the cabin of the vehicle while idling and while driving the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that no exhaust fumes were detected. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Additionally, the contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V467000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 18,000.

Transmission is going out. Costly repair $13,000 Seems to be a known issue but no recall? Let’s do better for your customers

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact turned on the heated steering wheel feature, and 30 seconds later, the steering wheel cover began to catch on fire with a blue flame; the contact discovered smoke coming from the steering wheel cover. The contact disengaged the heated steering wheel feature, where the flame self-extinguished. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact discontinued the usage of the heated steering wheel feature in order to avoid a large fire. A fire department report was not filed. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer; however, a dealer was contacted and made aware of the failure and informed that the vehicle caught on fire to resolve the failure with the vehicle's insurance. The vehicle was not repaired, but the contact was advised to buy a new steering wheel. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

The car's OBD (on board diagnostic) is not functional. This means that if a check engine light comes on it's impossible for the mechanic to know why. This means the car can never complete a state inspection and more seriously if there's an electrical problem, could result in a fire. I took the car to a Ford dealership and they verbally told me that lots of Ford cars are having this problem and that it is a manufacturing problem, not a specific problem only with my car. They want anywhere from $1600 - $4000 to repair/reprogram the OBD. They told me that they've done this "repair" for many customers and it's a manufacturing problem. In my opinion this should be a recall, not a repair customers have to pay for, most importantly because it could be dangerous bc mechanics can't access the car info if the check engine light comes on, and also the car can never be inspected which is not the fault of the car owner.

Brake booster failed. Lost brake assist while driving. Car became unsafe to drive immediately.

I am reporting a premature transmission failure on my 2022 Ford Bronco at approximately 85,000 miles. The vehicle required a full transmission replacement after experiencing internal transmission failure described by a Ford service manager as “something came apart inside the transmission.” The dealership quoted $13,000 for transmission replacement. Independent transmission specialists quoted approximately half that amount, indicating the dealership pricing is inflated. A major drivetrain failure at this mileage is abnormal and suggests a manufacturing defect. This issue renders the vehicle unsafe and unreliable and occurred far earlier than the expected life of a transmission. I am concerned this represents a systemic defect in Ford Bronco transmissions and request this complaint be documented and investigated.

Recurring Safety Defect: Powertrain Cooling System Failure causing Engine Overheating, Coolant Intrusion, and Loss of Motive Power. The vehicle has experienced three catastrophic cooling system failures within a 9-month period, posing a crash and fire risk. Incident 1 (February 2025): Water pump failure caused significant coolant loss. Diagnosed and repaired by authorized dealer under warranty. Incident 2 (June 2025): Vehicle leaked coolant and emitted visible smoke and burning odors from the exhaust. Dealer diagnosed internal turbocharger failure resulting in coolant intrusion into the engine and exhaust system. The catalytic converter was damaged by coolant burn-off and required replacement. This failure kept the vehicle out of service for 38 days. Incident 3 (November 2025): The vehicle engine overheated again while driving, triggering the "Fail-Safe" cooling mode. This resulted in a sudden reduction of motive power (limp mode), creating a collision hazard at highway speeds. The Check Engine light illuminated. Dealer diagnosis confirmed codes P1285 (Cylinder Head Overtemperature) and P05A1 (Active Grille Shutter failure). The manufacturer's dealer has confirmed the current failure but refuses to acknowledge it as part of the recurring powertrain thermal defect. The safety risk involves sudden deceleration in traffic due to overheating protection mode and potential fire risk from repeated coolant leaks onto hot engine components. The vehicle is currently at the dealer and available for inspection.

Transmission failed, Ford diagnosed it as needing the torque converter replaced, however, after this was fixed at a transmission shop, the problem persisted and that mechanic said the transmission needs to be rebuilt. My safety was out at risk when my vehicle stalled at an intersection and would not accelerate. Also, on two occasions, when the vehicle was put into reverse, it jerked forward and did not go backwards. Luckily nothing was hit in front of my vehicle, although it could have due to being in a parking spot when theirs happened. Ford confirmed an issue on 11/3/25 and another independent mechanic replaced the converter, but stayed the transmission needs to be rebuilt after that did not correct the problem. He states that the torque converter would not cause the reverse issues. Initially, no warning lamps came on, but now the wrench light and check engine light are on. Ford app gave two errors, one on 11/13/25: Powertrain malfunction/reduced power What Is Happening? The transmission control module has detected a concern when trying to shift to 8th gear. A failsafe logic disables 7th gear for the remainder of this key cycle. What Should I Do? Have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer as soon as possible And one on 11/21/25 Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power: What Is Happening? The powertrain control system has detected one of the transmission clutches did not apply within the expected time as expected. Some transmission gears may not being available resulting in delayed or harsh shifts into another gear. Additional alerts that may provide additional information may accompany this alert. What Should I Do? Have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. Vehicle already had Powertrain issues last year when transaxle assembly was replaced and there was an issue with the exhaust, which ended up falling off the engine after Ford worked on it. Also, had to replace vacuum pump the year before that.

Dash Panel Display blanked out while driving in the morning and was dark out. It happened at least 4 times during a 45min drive into work. Could not see the speed I was going or any gauges which I don't think any of the Safety stuff was working.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that on every occasion while entering the vehicle, there was a fuel odor coming through the vents. The check engine warning light illuminated briefly during one occasion. The vehicle was taken to the same dealer twice and was diagnosed with a cracked coolant pump. The dealer determined that the coolant pump and the purge valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that there was fluid leaking nearby the catalytic converter; however, the mechanic was unable to take the catalytic converter apart. The mechanic also determined that the fuel injectors, the exhaust clamps and gaskets, and Oxygen sensors needed to be replaced, and the turbo charger required coolant and oil feed lines replacements. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was 70,000.

At approximately 7:00 p.m., it was already dark, and I relied on my vehicle’s rear parking-aid sensor to assist me while backing out of my driveway. However, the rear collision/parking-aid sensor did not activate and provided no audible or visual warnings. Because the sensor failed to operate, I continued reversing and unintentionally collided with a vehicle parked across the street. The malfunctioning sensor is still installed on the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request. The absence of any warning put my safety and the safety of others at risk, as I had no indication that another vehicle was behind me. There were no warning lamps, messages, or symptoms before the incident, and the failure was first noticed when the expected alert did not occur. After the accident, I contacted a Ford dealership and confirmed that the sensor had not activated at the time of the incident. I also verified afterward, in daylight conditions, that the sensor does work normally and provides warnings when objects are behind the vehicle. The issue has not yet been reproduced or inspected in person by a dealer or an independent service center, and the manufacturer has not examined the component. My insurance company has been notified of the collision.

There has been a recall on this issue for 4 months with no options to have it fixed. The recall clearly states that a fire may start under your hood due to the issue, which seems like an issue that should be addressed asap.

All of a sudden, when I would shift the gear to neutral or reverse the car would only drive forward. While there are other recalls related to this issue for other models, there isn’t a recall for this 2022 model. The ford dealership said it needs a new transmission and that would cost around $10,000.

Car shutters and makes a lot of noise in low gears and speed. Car still has issues after repairs. Local shop unable to make final repairs due to tools needed... Ford dealer will not cover due to mileage even with TSB- 25-2351

Along with the current unable to be fixed PCM recall, the customer service satisfaction program regarding the drivers side buckle replacement and the replacement of high-pressure fuel injectors that I was told they will only replace if there is an issue because it is not considered a recall. I have had multiple other recalls that were done and several issues that weren't related to recalls. In the first year the bushings were replaced to ease the loud noise when backing up. At 36,0000 miles I had no heat. The water pump failed and was fixed under powertrain warranty. At 41000 miles (just over warranty) the AC stopped working. The condenser failed and was my responsibility to pay. Ford did work out a deal with me on that repair due to all of the other issues I had previously. Currently, my drivers side back seatbelt does not work, the car shudders when driving and recently my forward collision indicator goes off for no reason. I have not reached out to have these items checked yet as I have spent far to much time dealing with Ford. I bought this car to feel safe and confident on the road and I have never felt that. The lack of compassion from Ford for all the money wasted in missed work and repairs because they cannot produce a quality vehicle is abhorrent.

They sent me 2 papers about recalls and refused to fix it. Whatsoever, they tell me the fuel injection has to go out so they would fix it before even though they know it's bad. The second is a seat belt that click sometimes so basically they won't fix that either until it breaks completely. So what they're saying is basically the car can one be set on fire and 2 when I'm in a car crash, and I go through the window and If it fails, then they'll fix the problems.Is my understanding of it even though they're admitting there's a recall and they're refusing.To fix ithen, they said.Then when you've been at the software to fix the feeling injection problem.So why they selling cars?They don't have the software to fix the car.So I want something done about it.[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I own a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport (VIN: [XXX] ) that experienced a premature and unsafe transmission failure at about 75,000 miles. The issue began earlier with jerking and hesitation after stops and worsened until the vehicle displayed “Transmission Not in Park” and would not start. This created a dangerous situation at intersections and parking areas. Sioux City Ford diagnosed the issue and replaced the valve body under partial goodwill in July 2025, but the problem persisted. My service advisor said the new valve needed to “relearn” after 700 miles, but symptoms continued and the vehicle eventually became undriveable. I contacted Ford multiple times and was assigned case numbers, but received no resolution. The transmission was later confirmed failed by an independent certified shop, which replaced it at my expense ($7,711.96) along with towing ($246.10) and rental costs ($511.63). The defective parts remain available for inspection. This is a 2022 vehicle with less than 80,000 miles, and a complete transmission failure at this mileage is unreasonable and unsafe. Many other Bronco Sport owners have reported similar failures, jerking, and “Transmission Not in Park” errors linked to Ford’s 8F35 transmission. Ford has also issued Recall 24V-267000 and TSB 22B38 for related issues. This failure is not isolated and poses a significant safety concern for drivers.

Additionally, the contact had taken the vehicle to the same dealer for an oil change and was advised that the rear shock absorbers were leaking and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

I went to start my car it did not start but repeatedly kept trying to start itself over and over the car locked up completely i couldn't push the brake or anything it wouldn't stop it disappeared from my app..the car cranked itself repeatedly until it caught fire and electrical smoke was rolling i had to call the fire department i was parked at a dayhab for special needs had to run and have them to remove all of the special needs people in wheelchairs and or with other adaptive equipment had to run into another office building and tell them to remove their vehicles i had a serious worry that this could have hurt or even killed people they at the ford dealer that has had my car 21 days said it's the starter no way the starter just went nuts for no reason we had to call the fire department and everything they replaced the battery which my understanding has recall 24s24 which says causes glitches either someone is blaming a starter for something other than that

As you may know, my Ford Bronco 2022 is under NHTSA Recall 25V467 as of July 2025. October is approaching, and so far, Ford Motor Company has not found any remedy for this problem, which can not only cause a spontaneous engine fire, but can also cause the death of those inside the vehicle or a serious accident if it occurs while driving. My vehicle is for daily use, and I have to transport my son to school every day, risking his life and mine, with the uncertainty of the vehicle catching fire. I ask that you consider requiring Ford Motor Company to collect these vehicles or exchange them for others of the same value that are not at risk.

My car has a recall since 07/16 and manufacture has not resolved the issue.

Potential systemic issue: I purchased the 2022 Ford Bronco Sport on 06Aug2025 which is still within its warranty period. During the test drive I identified the Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) wasn't operable. The dealership stated yes that model does have it and that it is not working. All safety settings were verified on and that it should be functioning but isn't. The dealership troubleshot but couldn't identify the issue. The dealership then contacted the Ford maintenance headquarters twice and received responses to the effect of "Where looking into it" with no path forward or timeline to correct the issue. Important considerations and information: 1. This is an important safety feature that people assume is working if turned on. This is no alarm or error code showing that it has malfunctioned. 2. While driving the Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) alarms went on twice at different times. There was no vehicle in front of me, and it didn't attempt to brake. If it did auto-brake this could've caused someone to rear end me. 3. I was given loaner Ford Bronco sport, and the same safety feature and others didn't work in that one either. This leads me to think this is a systemic malfunction and not a one-off. 4. All other safety features work 5. Ford Headquarters customer service opened case# CXH-XXX. Phone: [XXX] ext. 79202. Case owner is [XXX] 6. There are two versions of Ford Co-pilot 360 which most customers don't know of. One has dynamic cruise control, and the other doesn't. It's assumed by the customer that it is equipped with dynamic cruise control. This isn't clearly stated to the customer. This assumption could be a potential safety issue.

I am filing this complaint regarding a recall affecting my 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. I received a recall notice concerning the possibility of the vehicle catching fire. Despite numerous attempts to resolve the issue, Ford continues to ignore the warnings and say "we are working on fixing the issue." I feel unsafe and will not drive this vehicle until there is a resolution. Ford has taking months/years to fix this issue with no resolution in sight.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V467000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The contact stated that while turning and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle was slow to respond. There was a lag before the vehicle accelerated. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was taken to another local dealer, Fairway Ford (1350 E Yorba Linda Blvd, Placentia, CA 92870); where it was diagnosed and determined that an unknown part needed to be cleaned. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The contact called the same local dealer, who confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was called, but the phone call was disconnected several times. The approximate failure mileage was 36,000.

My 2022 Ford Bronco Sport started making grinding noises when I would back up at an angle earlier this summer. I made an appointment and took the car to the dealership. They took it apart and determined it was the transaxle. The tech said this was a known problem, but not a recall. Luckily, I was within the 36-month warranty. However, due to trouble getting parts, the dealership has had my car for seven weeks now. The parts arrived, but they said they didn't have the right tool because this was a "fairly extensive rebuild." This vehicle has just over 28,000 miles on it.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormally strong fuel odor inside the vehicle. The contact stated that an unknown warning light was illuminated but went off independently. The contact stated that with the weather change, the heat was needed; however, the contact was concerned with the strong fuel odor inside the vehicle and stated that the odor was dangerous. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact was provided with the cost for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact later received notification NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V467000 (Fuel system, Gasoline); however, parts were not yet available to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 49,136.

I noticed my coolant level dropping about a year ago. I would fill up the coolant reservoir and the coolant level would drop within a few days. The issue was from the water pump leaking. I replaced the water pump with an OEM ford water pump. One year later the coolant level is dropping, and I have the same issue again. Looking at some of the forums, this appears to be a common issue with this make and mode.

See attached document for complaint.

Rear differential has gone out at less than 50,000 miles and a new rear axle has been on back order for 2 months

The failure mileage was approximately 33,000.

rear drive train unit Which is a known problem

The hood latch and cabling mechanism continues to be a problem for Bronco Sport owners. I have dealt with the cabling detaching from the housing unit four times. This causes safety concerns because the hood cannot be opened when this issue presents. Many owners have this issue.

Very bumpy rides on the smooth highways Also creaky loud noise when given breaks. Specially when reversed driving.

I have had multiple issues with my 2022 Ford Bronco Sport in the past 3 years and there have been multiple recalls. The ac failed at the 2 year mark and the rear brakes also started to make an odd noise intermittently when I would have the vehicle in reverse. I reported it and asked Ted Britt Ford in Fairfax, VA to check it twice (this is the dealership I purchased the vehicle from - I had them check it on 7/3/24 and 9/28/24 and have service records confirming) and they said they could find nothing wrong and there was no recall for it and there was nothing they could do (keeping in mind my vehicle was under warranty at that time). Fast forward to today, I go in for an oil change and mention the rear brakes are making noise again and ask if they can check it for me. They told me there is now a remedy for the issue, acknowledging there wasn't in the past. I mentioned at the time that I had reported and asked about it twice and why should I now have to pay for that when clearly this is a defect that should have been addressed by Ford when I initially reported it (keeping in mind that my vehicle is now out of warranty). Then they tell me I need to replace the front brake pads and brake fluid for a cost of over 1k and rear rotors and brake pads for 1200, but admitted the rear brake pads are not that bad and can wait. I do not ride my brakes and have no history of that in any vehicle I've ever owned, so I did some research and learn that this is an issue with the 2022 Ford Bronco Sport which seems to have MANY issues. Ford is not acknowledging any of the issues that this specific year/make/model has. I clearly alerted them to an issue a year ago and they claimed to have no solution but now they magically do once it's out of warranty? Clearly having defective brakes is a safety issue, not to mention the fuel injector issue that is under recall - apparently Ford doesn't have the part for that either. Please issue a recall for the defective brake pads and rotors.

The contact owned a 2022 Ford Bronco. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20 MPH, while in a line of traffic and preparing to make a right turn onto another street, the contact noticed black smoke coming from under the hood of the vehicle and spontaneously there were flames coming from under the hood. No warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that a nearby good Samaritan dialed 9-1-1 and the local Fire Department arrived on scene to extinguish the flames. A Police report was filed; however, the report was unavailable. The contact sought medical attention for minor smoke inhalation. The vehicle was towed by a towing company at the request of the Insurance provider and remained at the tow lot. The vehicle was inspected; however, the source of the fire was not identified. The vehicle was deemed a total loss by the Insurance provider. The local dealer was not contacted. The contact stated that prior to the fire, the vehicle was inspected by the local dealer regarding a battery sensor error and the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V019000 (Electrical System). The contact related the fire to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V467000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.

I have a 2022 Ford Bronco Big Bend that I bought brand new, and just three years later, the transmission completely failed—without any warning signs. No lights, no noises, no slow shifting. It just suddenly died while I was driving and left me stranded in the middle of the highway, which was incredibly dangerous. I immediately tried to move over to the right lane, but the car was behaving erratically— accelerating, slowing down, braking, then speeding up again on its own. Once it was taken to the mechanic, they found the shifter wasn’t even functioning properly. When placed in neutral, the car would accelerate. When placed in drive, it would go backward, and when in reverse, it would go forward. It was officially diagnosed with transmission failure after I had it towed to my nearest dealership. I’ve maintained this vehicle responsibly and have never driven it roughly or taken it off-road. Still, I was quoted nearly $10,000 to replace the transmission, which is outrageous for a three-year-old SUV. Ford refuses to cover the repair, even though this seems like a serious manufacturing issue. I’m still making payments on the vehicle, and now it’s completely unusable. I’ve heard of similar things happening to other ford broncos and I want there to be a full recall because it’s clearly a major problem.

Regarding TSB 24-2185 RDU is faulty. The factory RDU vent hose needs to be upgraded due to the default hose venting road debris into the rear differential. This needs to be a recall.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? AutoNation Ford Corpus Christi found purge valve making abnormal clicking sound, valve sticking and closed. I replaced the valve with a new OEM part. Code P04F0 came off but vehicle would still lag and sputter when accelerating. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? feels like vehicle can hesitate or stop while accelerating and get rear ended Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Took vehicle back to AutoNation Corpus Christi and the tech's cannot find anything wrong with the vehicle but there is definitely an obvious issue. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Inspected by AutoNation Corpus Christi technicians and they cannot pinpoint the issue. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Warning light code P04F0 comes on, recommended purge valve replaced but issue vehicle still lags and sputters when accelerating.

Vehicle stutters when driving at slower speeds, usually between 22-27 MPH. After purchasing my vehicle used I have found that others have been reporting the same issue, to include in brand new Bronco Sports, and have been advised that is just how they are. Switching to sport mode does seem to help but the stutters occurs at different speeds. There has been no known part identified as causing the issue. There are no warnings displayed and no codes showing.

I bought my vehicle brand new and have received several recall notices and have had to have repairs done for common issues not featured in recalls but maybe service bulletins. I have had the water pump replaced 2x in the last 2 years Rear differential replaced completely linked to the recalled issue. PCM software is being recalled for the second time in 2 years. I’ve have owned exclusively ford and this model has been a near nightmare. I get my cars serviced regularly so it’s definitely not due to lack of maintenance but instead seems as if the 2022 bronco sport model was tainted from the manufacturer.

In 2022 I bought my bronco and took it in for the transmission going into the wrong gear and coming out of park. They said yes that’s happening and did something with the programming. It continued to run funny and have occasional issues with shifting which I assumed was in my head. Yesterday however I found out it wasn’t. I turned my bronco on and put it in reverse but it just started reviving and didn’t move so I tried drive same thing so I turned it off then back on all of a sudden it made a bang and lunged into reverse in front of a car and I almost got hit. I also when to pull out a few weeks prior and my car didn’t go and I almost got hit. Today my bronco stalled on the highway I was able to coast off the road but it then sounded like a chainsaw and wouldn’t go into any gear so I had it towed. I get the three chance rule however I feel like in the case due to repeated and extensive safety concern they need to do something. I also am not the only 2022 bronco owner with these exact issues as I found others on online forums with the same things.

Backup camera is blue screened. Says to see dealer . Vehicle only has 28,009 miles on it. Thx

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that the vehicle slightly hesitated while depressing the start button. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact then received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V019000 (Electrical System). The contact scheduled an appointment to have the vehicle serviced; however, the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle needed to be kept overnight for the repair. Due to other commitments, the contact was unable to leave the vehicle overnight and declined the services at that time. The contact then stated that while driving 20 MPH, the vehicle shut off with the parking brake warning light flashing on the instrument panel. The contact was left stranded in the middle of the road, activated the hazard lights, and was able to restarted the vehicle, and drove to the residence. The contact stated that the vehicle had since failed to start with an unknown service message flashing on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 32,000.

I originally submitted a claim in November before I received the diagnostic report back on my trasmission, so this is the updated information. On November 1, 2024, I was driving to work and my transmission failed. I service my car very regularly at the same Ford dealership and they know how much I drive, so I always listen their recommendations for matienance. I did take my to a transmission specialist to rebuild my transmission as well as diagnose the mode of failure for my transmission. When I asked him whether it was wear and tear or something else, he told me he did not believe that it was wear and tear and that it was due to something internally coming off and overtime hitting my transmission gears and overtime it was starting to hit some of the lower gears and by that time my transmission failed. This is a somewhat newer car. I have spend almost $5000 just to rebuild my tranmission on a two year old car. There is no way for me to be able to anticipate this happening, it sounds like a manufacter defect to have something come off internally. The only way to diagnose it as well is to take apart the transmission which alone costs hundreds of dollars. I did reach out to the service shop to get a written statement of what happened from the techinican. If there is anything else I need to support my case, please let me know.

I am not quite familiar with the name of the lights on the bottom of my vehicle they sometimes come on and sometimes they do not. When I back up it sounds like my tires are rubbing against something and when I pull forward it sounds the same.

Break stated feeling a thumping while driving, not breaking, ABS sensor came on dashboard. Car stated giving me a collision warning, pre-collision not available, hill assistant warning, Blind spot detection with cross traffic, and service advance tracking. ABS sensor is faulty. My car is stuck on slippery mode, it’s hard to turn, electrical system is faulty. Goats is not working, I can’t turn options on or off. And it became hard to steer. I had the battery recall done. Left from dealer and they assured me that this will fix the issue. It came all back about 30 seconds after I left the dealership.

Vehicle locked up while driving. Has a new battery already. Full aux electrical function is fine but after shut down while driving will not restart, shift out of gear, roll or steer. All electrical works fine. To tow onto flat bed, had to drag the tires.

Turbo blew because of emissions systems and I never got alerts tht there was a problem but ford could see all the notifications

Exhaust smell inside cabin, louder than normal exhaust

Many Bronco Sports have had this loud roaring in the rear and Ford had several patches to this issue, but none fixed the issue. Ford instructed the dealership to not attempt any more remedies to this repair until Ford had a "fix". After calling the dealership for months about the "fix" Ford was suppose have before the 4th quarter of 2024, but did not, now does not want to repair these vehicles under the warranty when the issue started and was bought to their attention. They have since stated that the repair is to replace the rear rotors and brakes as they had bearings that were coming apart causing this noise, but does not want to honor this repair. The dealership was well aware of the issue and could only advise me and others to please be patient until Ford approved a remedy for this issue, which me and many others did. We just want this to be a recall so that it can be covered as this could have caused serious issues had this part come apart upon driving or locking up and cause an accident.

What is the problem? Battery failure after receiving recall 25V019 notice. I was informed in February 2024 that my 2022 Ford Bronco Sport was affected by a battery recall, but that the remedy was not yet available. The battery subsequently failed in April, requiring a paid replacement out of pocket ($313.99). I have attempted to get reimbursement from both the Ford dealership and Ford corporate. Each party continues to deny responsibility and refers me back to the other. Why is this a safety concern? Battery failure left me stranded, requiring a tow. Had I been driving under different conditions (e.g., rural roads or at night), this could have created serious safety risks. The lack of resolution from Ford raises concern about their accountability regarding known defects. What action do you want NHTSA to take? I would like NHTSA to investigate Ford’s failure to reimburse for a known recall issue and hold them accountable for not honoring the recall protection as outlined in federal safety standards.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle hesitated. The contact was able to pull over to an empty parking lot. The contact attempted to reverse; however, the vehicle failed to respond as needed. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle after waiting fortwo minutes; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The transmission was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified on the failure but offered no assistance. The contact was referred by the manufacture to report the failure to the NHTSA Hotline. The approximate failure mileage was 121,000.

Since the BRAND NEW PURCHASE after ordering our 2022 Bronco Sport, as you REVERSE, BACK UP, it makes a LOUD METAL to METAL rubbing noise to be heard 50 to 100 YARDS away. Anytime especially mornings & mid-day it is so LOUD. Ford dealers are tired of me coming in complaining about the NOISE as they tell me FORD IS AWARE! FORD IS AWARE! They tell me Please stop asking about this 3 YEAR OLD problem as of August 2022 FORD is AWARE and knows about it but every time I look into this LOUD NOISE PROBLEM I am getting a run around! This sound is starting to worry us as it's NOT BRAKES as FORD DEALERSHIPS has checked our BRONCO SPORT Brakes and tell us YES IT'S LOUD but we don't know what the 2022 BRONCO SPORT issue is. ARE WE SAFE? Three years now we have dealt with this issue. Wiekert Ford in Lake Wales Florida and AutoNation Ford in St. Petersburg Florida both tell us we don't know. Wiekert Ford keeps saying we are Not aware of this PROBLEM & AutoNation Ford just SHOWS me the FORD DISCLAIMER that FORD is aware of BUT NOTHING is being done about this LOUD noise? Please help me out, NHTSA are we safe? Is FORD doing anything about these 2022 BRONCO SPORT vehicles? Please advise! Thank you

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that while her husband was driving 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that there was an abnormal grinding sound coming from the vehicle while reversing. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated after the failure.

While parking in a parking lot of a local store I pulled into a spot and stopped about 2 feet from a bumper post. I removed my foot from the brake pedal to pull closer to the post. The car began to idle forward. When I was as close to the post as I intended I stepped on the brake. The car continued to idle forward until I hit the post causing very minor damage to the hood of my car. After hitting the post I was stopped. I put the car in reverse and took my foot off the brake. The vehicle did not moved so i touched the gas intending to back up a foot or so. The car picked up speed. I braked, but the car continued to pick up speed. I pressed harder on the brake, feeling as though I was standing on it. The car did not stop nor slow down. While feeling as though I was standing on the brake the car sped up I would estimate to 5-7 mph. I traveled straight back across the drive lane and continued to back into the parking spot behind me and hit the bumper in that parking causing damage to my lift gate and miscellaneous electrical components and the rear bumper. I have a repair estimate for $3400.00. I reported to the store personnel, the local police, and was examined by emergency medical. It was determined there was no damage to store property and medical personnel found my blood pressure was mildly elevated and the I felt slightly disoriented, but otherwise tested normal. I can only surmise that this was a temporary software malfunction. Braking has returned to normal. I talked to a ford dealer's Rep and he did not know what could have caused it. He also advised I could have diagnostics started for $278.00. I could not afford it at that time. Please note that the police officer said i could pick up the police report, but i have not done so.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that while reversing at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from the driver's and passenger's side wheels. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

Air conditioning compressor clutch Failed. Noticed 1 day after warranty expired because air conditioner was not used in the winter. Found your report noting a problem with this . Ford won’t cover it.

The water pump began leaking somewhere around 62,000 miles, however there were no visible signs of a leak and no maintenance warnings appeared on the dashboard. I only know there was a leak because I took my Bronco Sport into the Ford dealership to have other recalls repaired and they advised me to have the water pump replaced as it was leaking. I have researched this issue and it appears to be a very common issue with Bronco Sports of all years. This issue can put others or myself at risk because it would be very easy for the engine to run out of coolant and seize up in potentially very dangerous traffic situations. Because Ford doesn't have a way for Bronco Sport drivers to come aware of this issue unless vigilantly checking coolant levels every week, it would be very easy for the engine to overheat and stall before the driver can become aware there was even an issue.

On [XXX], the vehicle overheated during a commute, resulting in a blown radiator cap and an empty engine coolant reservoir. Coolant levels had been properly maintained up to that point. The following day, engine coolant was again low, though no visible leaks were found. On April 12, I requested warranty service but was told “services aren’t rendered on Saturdays” despite the service department being open. An appointment was scheduled for April 14 to inspect the overheating damage and address recall #25502. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) When I arrived on April 14, I was denied service due to the department being “backed up and understaffed.” I expressed concern about further driving the car in its condition, but Service Advisor Bill Crovo insisted it was safe to drive and denied my request to leave the vehicle on-site. I was also not offered a complimentary vehicle or alternative transportation. On April 17, I called to escalate the matter. The General Service Manager, Chris Gagnon, not only dismissed my concerns but stated he could refuse service on a vehicle that is clearly under active warranty coverage. This is not only unprofessional — it is illegal under Massachusetts consumer protection law. At this point, I was forced to seek help from other dealerships, one of which advised me to pressure the selling dealership to fulfill its obligation. I called back, and Mr. Gagnon assured me the issue would be handled. The vehicle was taken in on April 18, and the water pump was replaced. On April 24, I picked it up and drove just 21 miles before the engine began making an unfamiliar noise and the coolant reservoir was, once again, empty. I got the vehicle towed to a different dealership, Salem Ford in New Hampshire. The second dealership confirmed — in writing — that the first dealership skipped a critical step during the water pump replacement, directly causing the continued issue.

Since I bought this car the brakes have been making loud noises when going in reverse. Bought in 2022 and noticed immediatly - Daytona Ford made modification to brakes on a brand new car - and to date still hearing the same noise. I have had it in multiple times and have asked to have someone listen to the brakes and stated they cannot replicate. It's so loud now that it's embarrassing to drive and only has 26k miles. It makes a moaning noise like a dying whale or something. I have an appointment on Monday with Ford in Durham - so lets see what they say about the constant loud and ongoing noises with the rear brakes.

Speed sign recognition reads wrong speed. Reads 45 mph when speed limit is actually 70mph. Automatically slows down to 45 mph. Also drops to 25mph in 35 mph zone. Had it checked at dealer and they say all settings normal. Checked for Mfg updates and it says all up to date. Happens several times a week.

I was trying to park my vehicle and it started blinking and saying park is not available, vehicle is not in park. Place the park brake before exiting the vehicle. I was on a downward slope, so I found an area where it was flat and tried to restart my vehicle, but it was doing the same thing. I had to go to work, so I parked my car and placed the brake on. Later I went out on lunch and the car wouldn't start. I had to call a tow truck because Ford refused to come tow my 2022 Ford Bronco Sport or give me a loaner. The next day after Ford replaced my battery, they told me my car now had transmission issues that were not there before I had a dead battery. I know there is a recall on the 12v battery, but a remedy has not yet been issued and many customers are suffering. I asked about the recall or my warranty and I was basically laughed at because I have too many miles on my car. Why is a vehicle manufacturer able to continuly sell recalled vehicles and leave lives at stake for a recall that can end up killing someone?

We have, since buying the vehicle new in 2022, experienced sporadic severe lane keeping assist OVER Correction or dangerously aggressive correction both when there is not an actual lane crossing and no correction is needed and when slightly drifting over lines on the outer right side of roadways. The severe jerking /over correction has caused the vehicle to go OFF of the shoulder of the road in many incidents OR to go into oncoming traffic lane. When we had the recall performed that was meant to reprogram the pcm we were told that "hopefully your issues with that will be resolved" . They were not and have continued for as long as we've had the vehicle. This phenomenon is not able to be reproduced under any specific circumstances nor does an error display when this happens, therefore cannot get diagnosed by dealer service Dept. This has not yet, but has come very close to causing accidents, one particularly frightening instance the vehicle was unnecessarily jerked off the side of a 2 lane road with a narrow shoulder that dropped off into forest. A similar incident the vehicle was unnecessarily and spontaneously jerked again to the shoulder of the road where I was almost thrown into a ditch next to a farm field. This could put drivers and passengers at risk of otherwise preventable accidents. These occurrences typically occur when roadways are not perfectly straight with bends or curves on the roadway OR in busy traffic at higher speeds ( such as city interstates)

On April 8th 2025 our vehicle went into "limp mode" for the third time in 6 months. The previous incidents were part of an active recall and we're repaired by a does dealership. This time it is supposedly the failure of a fuel pump sensor causing the issue (per ford service diagnosis) which they say is NOT covered by fords recall nor is it covered under any warranty and must be paid for out of pocket. This repeat occurrence has caused our vehicle to stall in traffic not just when at stops but also just when turning or pulling onto streets or highway. This has happened while crossing busy streets putting the lives of our family at RISK MULTIPLE times. Ford refuses to pay for rental vehicles while our vehicle has been in repair for this issue and also while the vehicle is in an unsafe condition to drive. This also causes undo hardship for our family as we are not able to pay for a rental vehicle for extended amounts of time while our vehicle is in an unsafe state. I am highly concerned that Ford is trying to "wash their hands" of this vehicle and avoid true remedy the overwhelming evidence of problems of these vehicles. I have included the previous invoices for the recall repairs that caused this. I have not yet received the invoice for the repair being done currently as of 4/17/2025 .There are additional safety issues we've encountered with the "safety features" of the vehicle that i will be submitting separately.

The collision warning alert goes of sporadically at the most random times when there is actually no threat at all around the vehicle. This will cause (as it is intended to do) the driver to reactively fully apply the break quickly, which could cause injury such as whiplash in an unnecessary event or worst case a rear end collision.This has happened when driving down straight roads with no other vehicles. This has happened when going around bends in the road. This has also happened when driving next to things like corn fields, through forestry areas, next to road signs, etc. No error message occurs or anything and this does not seem to have a specific environment for reproduction. Simply just happens randomly.

To: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE Washington, DC 20590 Subject: Complaint Regarding Ford's Handling of Battery Recall (Recall 25S02 / 24S24) Dear NHTSA, I’m writing out of growing frustration and serious concern over how Ford is handling, or rather, not handling, the battery recall affecting my 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. My vehicle is part of the battery recall (25S02 and 24S24), which clearly states that affected batteries could swell, fail, or even lead to power loss. That’s exactly what’s happened to mine. The battery in my vehicle is swollen and defective, and now the car won’t start at all. It’s not just an inconvenience, it’s a safety issue. I’ve called several local Ford dealerships trying to get the battery replaced, but none of them have helped me. I’ve also reached out to Ford’s customer service line multiple times, and I’ve been given the runaround every time, told to call a dealer, told it’s not covered, or simply dismissed. Plus, they told me that I should contact the NHTSA to lodge a formal complaint. It’s incredibly frustrating to be stuck like this when there’s an active recall for this exact issue. The battery is visibly swollen, and I’m worried this could become dangerous if it continues to degrade. At this point, I feel like Ford is ignoring its responsibility to fix a known safety defect, and I’m left without a working vehicle, and no clear path forward. Please look into this. I don’t believe I’m the only one experiencing this issue, and the fact that Ford is refusing to replace a clearly defective part under an open recall is unacceptable. Vehicle VIN: [XXX] Phone: [XXX] Email: [XXX] Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, [XXX] Sanford, NC INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I start my car and can’t even get a mile without the service engine light coming on saying engine is over heating & that my coolant is over temperature. I’ve brought this to the dealership 3 times now and all they have done is reset my codes because they can’t figure out what’s wrong with it. That is not fixing it. I have two kids under two and I feel like this is incredibly dangerous thing to be playing with.

There has been a strong exhaust smell in my vehicle. It is worse with the heater on. I have had to go to the doctor because the headaches and sleepiness while driving had gotten so bad. I have taken it to the dealer for them today they can’t smell It. My eyes are constantly bloodshot from the fumes. You can even smell them out side the car it’s so bad. I will not take my kids anywhere in it now.

The rear warning system stops working intermittently especially when the rear hatch thinks it’s open. So I ended up backing into another vehicle because I have neck issues and depend on the safety systems of my car.

The electrical components in my dashboard and computer system are shutting off while I am driving. “Charging System Service Soon” alert pops up but I have had my battery checked multiple times. The glitches are inconsistent and can happen 1-20 times during a 30 minute drive. When it glitches, I can not see my speedometer or anything else on my dash. It occasionally turns off my slippery mode, it almost stalled once and occasionally my steering wheel locks up. I reached out to 10-15 dealerships near the Detroit Metro areas and none of them have rental cars to provide me to assist with diagnosis. They all tell me if it’s part of the 12V battery degradation recall they can’t do anything until the remedy comes out. But that is reported as Q2 at the earliest. This is my only mode of transportation and it is a huge safety risk.

im smelling exhast when driving my car and its strong, was told that there is a recall for this issue for 21 and 22 ford brnco sports but mine is not included yet I'm having the issue

I was approaching a stop light which turned green and as i slowed down my vehicle's power stopped. The vechicle notice said shift to park. I had to turn the car off - in the middle of a busy road - and turn it back on. it took a couple of tries. This was incredibly dangerous as cars almost hit me as the light was green. Ford knows about this recall but just sent us a notice saying to keep drving it but "be careful" and they will get a fix in the next quarter. I must drive but i do not feel like it is safe. why are people allowed to drive these cars that they know are in danger of stalling. They should all be told to stop driving these cars and give them a replacement until they can get it fixed. I have had to have the battery replaced in this vehicle several months ago despite very low mileage because the car would not start and it seems to be related to this same 12v battery issue. I frequently get "critical battery" notices from the vehicle even when I'm not in it.

The vehicle has strong exhaust fumes inside. It has gotten so bad people at work smell it on me. I even went to the doctor because I was trying to fall asleep while driving, I am confused when I first arrive places, my lungs feel like I am inhaling fire, I have the most painful headaches, and I am nauseous around the times I drive my car. My two girls are experiencing the same problems. But if we do not drive the Bronco on the weekends, no problems. My husband put it on the life at home and there are bolts missing from the dust shield, the ones there are loose, he had to tighten the bolts on the heads, and the convertor has “hot spots” on it. I have to drive at all times with a window down. The exhaust fumes can be smelled from outside as well. I have taken it to the dealer and was told there was no smell. I am scared at this point to drive it.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that the dealer had previously repaired the vehicle under NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V267000 (Electrical System, Power Train); however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that the vehicle required a jumpstart to start, and while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The check engine and another unknown warning light were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the second dealer, Babbitt Ford (11 N Verde St, Flagstaff, AZ 86001), who updated the PCM software and replaced the canister purge valve (CPV), but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to Walmart and the battery was replaced. The failure persisted. The vehicle was towed back to the first dealer, who checked the battery and informed the contact that the battery had not failed. The contact was also informed that she had to pay for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000.

First the battery was drained and needed replaced. Then message on center navigation screen displays “System Off to Save Battery. Please turn ignition off or start engine” when entering the car before trying to start it. Then I was notified of a recall that needed to be done. The recall was for “the body control module bcm and powertrain control module pcm calibrations may be unable to detect a sudden change in the 12-VOLT battery state of charge during a drive cycle.” The safety risk of this recall was as follows: “If the bcm and pcm calibrations are unable to detect a sudden battery degradation during a drive, the vehicle may be unable to restart after an auto stopstart event or may experience a stall while coming to a stop at low speed. The vehicle may also lose 12-VOLT accessories, including hazard lights. A loss of motive power can increase the risk of a crash.” The Ford Service Center did a software update to resolve this recall. Then the car started displaying a message on the dashboard front screen “Charging System Service Soon” and the battery light would be on. I also got a notification from my Ford app saying “Charge System Fault” “Indicates that there is a 12V charging system fault”.The car was taken to the Ford Service Center immediately and they said it just needed reprogrammed. The issue seemed to be solved on the short 5 minute drive home. The next day the car displayed the same “System Off to Save Battery” message on the middle navigation screen and “ Charging System Service Soon” message on the front dashboard screen. While driving the entire front dashboard electrical system turned off right after flashing multiple messages “front camera & pre collision assist not available”, no headlights and power steering went out, This happens randomly but happens every single time the car is driven. It is no longer safe to drive at night with no lights and no way to see any displays. Ford has been contacted with no response and service center will not see it.

1. "Rear Belt Monitor Fault" warning popped up on my dash. My vehicle is available for inspection upon request. 2. This warning indicates that if i get an accident my life is at risk. 3. The light has come on each time while i am driving for the past 2 days. Has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. 4. No, the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. 5. An alert came through my Ford app saying "Restraints Indicator Lamp warming" and explains what is happening which is " The restraints control module has detected a fault with the drivers seatbelt buckle sensor circuit." I have also received a message and warning lamp on my dash board. The warning appeared on January 27th, 2025.

The electrical system seemed to be experiencing temporary failure at stop lights. It initially seemed to be associated with the auto start/stop feature. However, one day the system would turn on (dash, radio, and air) however the engine would not turn over. The 3rd main incident was after purchasing a new battery (one week after doing so, to be exact) and the car wouldn't even open with a key fob. Everything was dead and the system said it only had a 20% charge left after being jumped and driven. My safety was at risk as I have a long commute and had the first battery incident happen nearly 1.5 hours from my home. My safety was also at risk for each of the three times that my car stalled at red lights, not knowing why or how to retart my car during heavily trafficked times. When stating my issues to the dealership (I've been having the stalling at lights issue for 5 months) they brushed the facts aside. When telling them my battery was dead after it being a week old, they said it was probably installed wrong (even though battery was replaced at reputable establishment and not personally installed) The issues started around August or September. I had called the dealership (as I've had all work done at the dealership I purchased the vehicle from other than the replacement battery). The engine light was on the time I was stranded at work (when I was able to get the radio on, but not able to get the engine to turn over). Shortly before the complete power failure, I had a "charging system error" light flash on and disappear. All of these issues were brought to the attention of the dealership in a timely manner. I had assumed they were related to the last recall that was in July, but I was given generic and un-sympathetic or relevant answers and was told I'd just have to keep paying diagnostic fees each time there was an issue and for each separate issue, even thought they all seemed centered around electrical/power issues.

The rear hatch on the Bronco Sport will intermittently open up if towing a trailer and traversing a driveway apron. The pressure from the trailer hitch is causing the rear hatch door latch to spring open. It’s also happened infrequently without the trailer attached.

I had a recall for “computer module programming done by Ford on my 2022 Bronco sport 38k miles on [XXX]. The next day my car shut off while at a light not auto/start on off. But sputtered and lost power. The next day it would not start right away. On [XXX] I parked at my children’s school in a temporary spot. Went to back up and my car was stuck trying to turn in and off for a solid 10 minutes. There was also a burning smell of something. No smoke. I finally could turn it off quickly randomly and then it would not start again. We jumped it by tow truck and took it home because the dealership said at 3 years 38k miles it was not under warranty. So my husband took the battery out and had it tested. It tested 100% at Autozone an hour later. Whatever recall they preformed caused my car to drain the battery or lost power. No way a car with only 38k miles and maintenance done every time at Ford regularly should even have a problem like this. It’s so frustrating. I hope they fix this problem and find a solution for us customers. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Water pump, that was just replaced in June at Ford dealership, is leaking. This is ridiculous that Ford cannot put quality products in there vehicles.

Cabin exhaust smell = leaking catalytic converter. 4 months and 5 trips for a diagnosis/solution. Car was smelling like exhaust in the cabin. Improved with air recirculation button ON. Worse in the AM, especially with remote start on cold mornings, and when stopped/parked. Told there was no smell, changed cabin filters / ac deodorizer ($200 out of pocket), “ford doesn’t have any other complaints on exhaust smell in the cabin”, “could not replicate”. After multiple forum searches/my own research, and insisting the catalytic converter was the problem, they agreed to let me leave it overnight for a cold start in the AM. Finally diagnosed with leaking catalytic converter. They replaced it and now the smell is completely gone. There was also a small rattle on acceleration, near the gas pedal, like a tiny rock in a tin can, that I assume was related because it is gone since the replacement.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that after inspecting the driveway, the contact noticed an abnormal stain on the concrete driveway. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer for routine maintenance and the dealer discovered that the oil filter might have been left loose from the last service performed by the local dealer. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The contact's husband checked under the hood and noticed that oil was leaking onto some hoses. The vehicle was not repaired. In addition, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V191000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.

Every time road conditions are wet (rain, snow) the drive lane module gets wet and will disable entire transmission and several error codes come up stating power train failure. Hill start assist is disabled, 4wd is disabled, pre-collision assist is disabled and the Bronco Sport's drive modes for various road conditions are also disabled. Service engine soon light came on along with several messages of power train failure appeared in Ford pass app. First appeared last year and happened once during a major snowstorm and now reappearing one week ago during the first major snowfall for the area and had continued since.

Vehicle makes load screeching and moaning sounds whenever the car is in reverse -noticed the day after purchase. Was told in June “parts are on back order”. - still no fix

Only in reverse, the brakes make a foghorn noise. I’m aware that other 2022 bronco sports were covered under a recall for this exact issue, but mine has not. I’m concerned about the safety and stoppage time for my car. This is not a normal squeal or grinding of worn brake pads.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that while driving in reverse a grinding noise was present when pressing the brake pedal. Also, while operating the vehicle a burning odor was present inside the cabin of the vehicle which caused the contact to experience light headiness and nausea. No medical treatment was required. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failures. Later, after starting the vehicle the engine stalled and the vehicle would not restart. The cause of the failures was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 25,000.

I am dealing with the smell of gasoline/fumes inside the car while it is not moving, especially on a cold start. The vehicle spent 3 business days at the dealer. The dealer confirmed the smell, but were unable to identify it. I have been attempting to work with Ford for over a week, but the agent assigned to my case will not respond to me, and has not done anything. I am stuck driving the vehicle with the fumes in the car. The car was bought brand new in February, 2023 and has 50,000 miles on it

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco. The contact stated while the contact's wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed, and the contact's wife noticed an abnormal noise.

The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The contact stated that the vehicle was scheduled for diagnostic testing within the next couple of days. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The contact was advised to contact the NHTSA Hotline and report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.

I see steering recall on the internet but not under vin number for 2022 Ford Bronco Sport.

Recall 22S73 from Ford states that fuel injectors can crack and cause an under the hood fire. We have documentation showing that the dealer applied the recommended fix on June 26th 2023. On [XXX] I was driving and felt a fuel smell, a few seconds later I started seeing smoke coming from under the hood. By the time I got to the emergency lane there was already an open flame that brushed my hair as I got off the car. In less than 5 minutes my car was completely burn down along with my personal belongings. I have pictures and video of the car on fire in the highway. The police and the fire department responded to my 911 call and they were able to confirm that the fire did not start because of any traffic accident. We have access to the car and the fuel injectors for inspection if necessary. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Continue to get "Rear Seatbelt Error." I can not safely transport children or adults as this is unsafe. Then, going to Ford to get it even looked at takes weeks, and during that time, they do not allow for a rental car.

Over the past year my Bronco Sport has thrown two different codes, powertrain malfunction and collision assist unavailable, and put me in limp mode, 25 times. And the last several times it has gone into limp mode it is accompanied by a weird smell. It has been on the hoist several times at the Ford dealership Service Center having parts replaced to “fix” this issue. But nothing they try has fixed it. They even had a Ford Corporate technician call and walk them through what to try/test/fix. It’s been on the hoist being “fixed” again a couple of times since then. They said they would fly a Ford Engineer out to “fix” it over a month ago but have not done so. It’s terrifying when it goes in to limp mode because I can’t GO. I just pray I don’t get slammed in to every time it throws these codes and puts me in limp mode. The most recent occurrence was just today!

I've experienced 3 of these Vehicle Network Communication Errors while driving, two of which were recent and after the problem was supposedly fixed at the dealership. Most recent event failure event occured 11/14/24 during rain. This is a frightening and serious problem. The car is back at the dealership now, awaiting inspection again since their first fix wasn't a fix. While driving there are sudden alerts as half a dozen errors flash/display sequentially on the dash, including warnings as Pre collision assist unavailable, Hill Assist, Service AdvanceTrac, the wrench symbol with See Manual, etc. Then the dash and controls go totally black and the screen displays the Vehicle Network Communication Error and everything (except the engine and wipers apparently) shuts down, No defroster, spedo, tach, heater, turn signals, exterior lights? Basically driving becomes very unsafe and scary, without safety. I have pictures and a video my wife took while riding with me the second time this happened. When I get home and shut off the car, wait awhile, it partially resets itself but still displays the wrench symbol and service Advance Trac idiot lights illuminated. Overnight it seems to reset totally, until the next episode. Its exhibited thie failure when sunny and dry and also when it rains, so seemingly not an environmental cause. This is extremely dangerous since no defroster or lights/signals, gauges, spedometer. So far the engine has kept running so I can at least head home and get off the road. I see there is an NHSTA investigation on Broncos for power loss. Please add my complaint for investigation of this serious defect. I would be glad to discuss further if helpful. Thanks!

Exhaust is coming into the cabin through the air vent a/c intake. This is unhealthy, and poses a health risk. Ford has yet to acknowledge the problem. I’ve been to the dealer once and they said it was fixed, but the fumes remain unchanged. I have heard that other owners are having the same issue.

Water pump failure 12/14/2023. No warning lights/indications. Was noticed when checking oil/fluids at home. Ford told me to continue driving it at risk of overheating due to back ordered parts. 3 weeks before new parts arrives and was fixed

I have had my 2022 Ford Bronco Sport for two years and four months. I have maintained my car very well, doing all of the recommendations that the dealership told me throughout the years. However, out of no where on Friday, November 1st, 2024 my transmission went without any signs or symptoms beforehand. This is a two year old car, this issue should not be happening.

I take very good care of my car and I purchased it brand new in July of 2022. Out of nowhere a few days ago I had my car slipping of gear and won’t go forward or backwards and then my car proceeded to have the service light pop on and then my check engine light. I do not have all of the diagnostics back yet, but they did say it was transmission related. My car isn’t even 2 1/2 years old. It should not be running into issues out of no where like this.

Driving on the highway for an hour the speed control kept switching from the speed limit to 20 mph and rapidly decelerating my vehicle. I would reset the speed then everything would repeat, it started 2 weeks ago with one instance. It happened 8ish times between Idaho falls Idaho and Pocatello Idaho

This is the 3rd time this vehicle has been in for service in less than three months. The initial two visits were for a differential issue that was not completely resolved. Also, the brakes seem to have unusual wear for the mileage of the vehicle. The current visit is happening as of today and the issues are being diagnosed and appear to be potentially possibly an electrical issue. There is also a very loud squealing sound when I back up and have been told by both the dealership and Ford that it is known but there is not yet a fix. I am on the phone with Ford letting them know I do not feel safe in the vehicle and they advised to file a report here.

Driving the vehicle in the dark on the interstate at 75 MPH and vehicle dash and all lights except front day time driving lights turned off. Almost hit a deer that was dead in the road. This is a recall that was already “fixed” in the spring. Local Ford dealer not worried about safety and says they are backed up can’t get the vehicle in to diagnose recall again for another week. I live in Rural Wyoming and have to drive 35 miles both ways for work. This vehicle is completely unsafe to drive.

Vehicle makes load screeching and moaning sounds whenever the car is in reverse -noticed the day after purchase 9/12/2024 and continues to do so- ford states it is a known recall that they have yet to have fix for?

I’ve had my 2022 ford bronco sport for about 2 1/2 years I ordered it brand new and it made 8 miles on it when I drove it off the lot. Within the past month it’s completely blacked out my radio display while I was driving and wouldn’t come back on until it was turned off and turned back on. Now when I start it it’s acting like the battery is going out. I wouldn’t expect a battery to go out under 3 years. Please please can you help me with these issues.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated while having the vehicle serviced at the dealer, the contact was informed that the engine was leaking coolant. The vehicle was diagnosed, and it was determined that the water pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

Air bags failed to deploy when the car hit a tree. Issue has not be reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. Vehicle has been inspected by claims adjuster only. There were no messages or symptoms of an issue prior to failure.

While turning during slow turns, my rear differential makes a growling noise. The growl has gotten progressively louder. Another Bronco Sport owner had the same issue and traded their vehicle due to the inability and high cost of the repair.

Overnight my electrical system went from working perfectly to not at all. I couldn’t unlock my car using the fob or the unlock button on the driver door and had to manually access the inside of the vehicle. When inside, no lights of any kind were on, the welcome screen was black, and no dinging that typically happens when the driver door is open. When I attempted to start my vehicle (I have a physical key, not a press to start) the car had no response, just silence. I have dealt with dead batteries before and could hear clicking when trying to start the car but I have never experienced complete silence like this. It was as if an EMP hit my car. My vehicle had all recalls fixed and evaluated with no issues. I am awaiting inspection from the dealership.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power with the low battery warning light illuminated.

The failure mileage was approximately 37,600.

There is a repetitive water pump failure in my 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. After 3 replacements, they believe they know what is causing it and even though all the failures occurred under warranty they want to charge $2700 for a decontamination in the coolant lines because they now believe that is the cause. My safety is put at risk daily as I risk my engine blowing up from faulty water pumps. When I did not have the $2700 to repair the decontamination, they told me I would just need an additional water pump down the line. Service records will be attached to this report. No warning lamps or messages, just a strong smell of coolant. Also, the seals on the rear drive shaft leak, they repaired a seal. Now the rear vent tube is leaking. The warranty and extended warranty does not cover the repair. Ford refuses to fix the problem and the dealership continues to say Ford is aware of the issues with that vehicle year but they refuse to fix them.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated while his son was parked in the driveway, the rear passenger’s side window failed to roll up as intended.

Water pump leak discovered at oil maintenance appointment at 25,000 miles. No service light message appeared. Water pump was replaced by dealer. Dealer notes; Degas bottle low added coolant, verified coolant leak coming from water pump weep hole. Recommend replacement of water pump. I do not understand how a two year old car already needs a water pump replacement

All tires are completely worn at 37,000 miles causing my braking stop time to increase and traction reduction when roads are wet and slippery. Also the tires are now making a rubbing sound when turning and was told it may be due to the way the tire tread has worn. Continental 225 / 65 R17

June 28th, 2024; the entire car turned off on its own while I was waiting for a red light. The engine was primarily off from the auto-start feature, like normal, except after I let go of the brake the entire car just shuts off. The start button would not press, the brake pedal was insanely stiff to press, and the dashboard had all the lights turned on an off, and I couldn't change gears whatsoever. Many displays on the dash appeared, parking brake was forced to turn on, pre-collision feature disabled, "System off to save battery" on the main screen, etc. I was in the middle of traffic, so I was putting myself and others in danger while my car suddenly shuts off without prior warning. There was never an indication that this would happen, and I only had the car for a year and a half, so I would think the only problem would be the system itself. I managed to turn the car on by putting the key fob on the center console where the Bronco can read it, and it immediately turned on after an hour. The dealership did check it out right after and said it only needed a small system update. Ever since, the car was fine until July 24th: the car did not start again. I was home and my car was parked, so no danger this time. However, I tried laying the key on the console again, including my spare key, but no luck. I had originally thought it was the battery in my key that was low, but it was working fine like always. However, when I locked the car, the horn and lights were faded, and weren't as strong as it should sound. Although this is the second occurrence in about a month, I've only had the dealership inspect it once. I am available for inspection after August 1st. Thank you.

Rubbing noise in tail end of vehicle. Ford has a TSB (24-2185) for this problem. Dealership states it is not covered under the powertrain bc they are not replacing the entire differential but replacing certain parts.

There are at least three separate chips on windshield caused by very small gravel on different occasions. The windshield should not be chipping so easily. The most recent happened yesterday and immediately spread. The cost of these windshields are pricey due to rain sensors. integrity of windshield seems compromised for whatever manufacturing reason. Recall?

On Thursday night, I was driving home after 12am when I received all the same above error messages that I noted as well as losing power steering and control of all my lights (headlights, turn signals, hazard lights). I had the car towed again the next day back to Washington Ford. Since then they have not been able to duplicate the problem and that there’s nothing more they can do. I was told “my vehicle is ready to pick up” but couldn’t guarantee it was safe to drive In April of 2024, Ford recalled 456,000 Ford broncos for “ because the vehicles may fail to detect a low battery charge, which could lead to a loss of engine and electrical power while driving.” Which is the exact issue I had with my vehicle two times in 3 days, however my vehicles VIN wasn’t included in that recalled.

I can not afford a rental car. So my only option ford leaves me is to drive a vehicle that they can not guarantee is safe to drive since they aren’t able to duplicate INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My bronco is going through coolant very quickly. If my heat wasn't working I would likely not have checked it. There was none in the resivour. There are no leaks in the lines or radiator.

When driving down the highway at 80 MPH, vehicle lost all infotainment and instrument panel. This happened several times, battery and alternator were tested and returned nothing. Upon completion of the drive, the vehicle would not start and the alternator had to be replaced. Approximately 3 months prior the drive train lost power and the turbo had to be replaced.

The rear brakes seem to drag and make a loud noise when in reverse. We have taken the car that is sill under Ford warranty to Hertrich Ford dealership in Elkton Maryland. They attempted a “modification” and informed us that Ford Engineers have not come up with a fix yet as many Ford Broncos and Ford Escapes are experiencing the same problem. We asked for the Ford Field Service Engineer for our geographical area to look at the car but no response to our request to date. We asked to speak with Tommy Allen foreman of service at Heirtrich Ford and no response as to date. The dragging sensation and loud noise when the car is in reverse is worse since Heirtrich Ford made the modification to the vehicle. Brakes do not feel right when car is in reverse.

Vehicle started on its own, no remote start scheduled or activity. Online forums suggested battery failure and two days later battery was dead. Battery replaced. Filed complaint with Ford seeking answers regarding safety concerns and took to Ford dealership for inspection and service. Vehicle was also in same dealership twice for maintenance service and brakes within two weeks of the mystery start incident. Ford found 15 U codes relating to battery or electrical failures, reset battery monitoring systems and returned vehicle. I don’t have any explanation from Ford as to why or how the vehicle started, Ford has not denied it, but they have not provided any reason for me to believe the vehicle is safe to keep driving and parking in an enclosed space. I asked Ford if they are aware of the risk and they only response I received, is they asked me to keep monitoring the vehicle and if I experience any problems to bring it back to the dealership.

Exhaust fumes fill cabin when car is slowed or stopped. I've had it to dealer once, but hasn't been fixed.

Brakes squeal when backing up.

Cracked Fuel Injector. I went on the Ford Website to find the vehicle I wanted. The website stated "dealer ordered." I put a deposit on it in August and my vehicle was delivered the second week of October. I noticed several times that a gas smelled filled my cabin so when I was mailed the recall... It all made sense and I was the first one in line for recall. I also noticed that smoke would come from under the hood after it was parked. I initially thought that is was because it was very cold out and I had the heat on. I thought at first it was steam but it happened again on a normal cold day. When I went for my recall, I told the service tech that I smelled gas in my cabin several times and mentioned the smoke. They scheduled me for the recall repair. After the recall was done, I asked them why they didn't replace the fuel injector, my truck had 5000 miles on it. They said the recall will fix it . It is April now and I do not smell gas but I seen smoke come from under my hood definitely once, maybe twice since then. I am not convinced the recall fixed the problem. I also contacted ford when I had the recall done and I was given a case number. Since I read about this issue coming up again for Ford and you investigating on why they are not replacing the fuel injects, I now have another case open with Ford. I wanted the fuel injectors replaced the first time... They were under warranty...The recall did not solve the problem.

On [XXX] I began my drive from Miami, FL to SF, CA for my next travel nurse assignment. Three hours into my drive, I stop for gas and return to the highway. I remember accelerating to catch up to traffic and moving into the left lane. Then I remember abruptly seeing brake lights ahead, braking hard, and the collision warning system going off. I was braking for several seconds and it became clear to me that I was going to crash into the vehicle in front of me. Immediately upon impact, my Bronco Sport caught fire. I felt the heat. I smelled the fire and fumes. I saw people running towards me, yelling for me to get out of my burning car. The airbag went off and I sustained minor injury to my right hand. At that point, my priority was to locate my cat inside my perfectly packed vehicle with all of my most important possessions. I grabbed my cat, my phone, and my purse and escaped as flames overtook my SUV. The Nissan Rouge in front of me sustained some rear bumper damage but overall relatively minor exterior damages. I am in awe that what should have been a minor collision turned into escaping a burning car with my cat and watching my everything burn away. I struggle with PTSD from the accident. The Bronco was well-maintained. I had the recall repaired, along with oil change and tire rotation in November, prior to driving from Southern California to my home in Miami in early December. The vehicle was deemed a total loss by the insurance company. The insurance company did not choose to pursue any investigation on why this happened. I’ve tried to find answers and have not been successful. The Ford dealership where I purchased the Bronco has been less than helpful and even normalized that this happens sometimes. Four months later and I’m still waiting to get refunded for all the extra extended warranties that I bought for a vehicle that I planned on having for a long time. No one seems concerned that my car caught fire instantly. This should not have happened. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On [XXX] I drove my 2022 Bronco to the local car wash, after washing my vehicle the vehicle would not start. I realized it was the battery when no electronics turned on. This occurred in the midafternoon, and I was fortunate to be parked in an area that was busy. Had this occurred at night this would not be a safe area to be in alone and for a female. I contacted AAA for a jump and also Taylor Ford so that I could bring the vehicle into them to look at the battery. They put the vehicle on their machine and stated nothing was wrong with the battery. I was advised to lock the doors when I park the vehicle after use this may resolve the issue. On [XXX] the battery was once again dead. I put the battery on a charger and contacted Taylor Ford about the situation. I brought it back and they stated I would have to make an appointment. The delay is over a month for me to get into them to look at the problem. The vehicle sends a message in Ford Pass that it is going into sleep mode which indicates that the battery is starting to weaken. This issue with the battery puts me in a situation which may eventually cause me to be stranded and at risk for my safety if this occurs in an isolated area. I have done research and found a lot of Ford vehicles are having the same issues with the battery and no resolution outside of replacing the battery with the same reoccurrences over time.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that the side door mirrors had degraded, impairing visibility while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where an unknown recall was performed; however, the side door mirrors were not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 5,200.

Shocks defective. Shocks to be replaced twice on this vehicle with under 50,000 miles. First replaced at about 20,000 miles. Dealership advised that original shocks and now new replacement shocks leak on inspection. Clearly a defective part. Ford knows about this problem. Ford has put out a “service message for technicians” but why isn’t there a recall? Second issue is brake issue. Ford has also issued a “service message for technicians” on this issue. They are aware of the issue and customers are waiting 3 months or more for a “bushing and hardware kit” for repair. Issue is detected by loud squealing when the car is backing up in reverse. Why isn’t this a recall? The dealership is charging for these items that Ford is aware of as problems with their vehicle.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that while the vehicle was in reverse(R), there was a loud squealing sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was acknowledged that the issue was a common occurrence; however, the part to repair the vehicle were not available. Upon investigation, the contact discovered TSB: 22-2326, which he linked to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 4,500.

My vehicle started with not accelerating and bogging down when going after a stop, it shakes/jerks from 1-3 gear. The rpm’s jump all over the place and at times it will be very low speed, jerking when trying to shift. I haven’t even had the car two years, I have two children and this happened at an intersection and scared us all. It had happened so many times I’m scared to drive it. I took it to a ford dealership, they were able to recreate the issue and said it may be the transmission. There are now warning lights on or anything indicating what the issue is. They told me to keep driving it until a code comes up or to wait till June when they can inspect it. It just keeps getting worst.

Brakes are sticky. They will stick after coming to a stop, causing the vehicle to jump forward. Also, make an incredibly loud noise after sitting still for a few hours, and moving. The calipers seem to lock up. This is not a one time incident, it’s all the time!

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Three times this vehicle has had the water pump replaced. 2/20/2023 at 20285 miles , it was replaced with the original part HX7Z8501A, which I also had to source the part myself from another dealer, as mine told me they had no ETA and could not locate one. 9/6/2023 at 38232 miles. It was replaced with the redesigned part HX7Z8501B. 2/6/2024 at 50137 miles. It was replaced again with the redesign part HX7Z8501B. The service advisors at the dealer stated they have never had to replace one three times before mine. Ford advised me that I need to report to NHTSA. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Car could overheat. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? D'orazio Ford in Wilmington IL has done the three repairs Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Dealer service center Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Coolant smell, low coolant, coolant sprayed in engine bay

The automatic transmission was leaking (at about 12K miles) a heavy amount of fluid. I noticed a foul/burnt smell while driving with the heater/ac/vent on and that occurred around [XXX] I noticed a puddle of fluid on my driveway around [XXX]. The car is currently at Aaron Ford of Escondido, CA, and they confirmed the problem. The dealer is waiting for parts to arrive to repair/seal the transmission. My safety was put at risk because the leak could have rendered the transmission inoperable and could have caused a serious accident while driving. Only the dealer has inspected the vehicle. There were no warning lights/alerts on the dash. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Defective water pump caused coolant leak and the serp belt to deteriorate at 30,000 miles. Previous years of this vehicle have been recalled for this issue but mine was not recalled. The service department refused to fix the damage caused to my car under warranty. The water pump was replaced under warranty but I had to pay for the serp belt.

I took the car in to get it checked for a grinding noise that was being made when I would pull out of a parking spot. They found that the rear differential went out and needs to be replaced. This is on a 2022 Bronco Sport with 41k miles. It is currently at the Ford dealership but the part is on back order with no eta.

My car lost power on the highway. I took it to the dealership. They had the vehicle for 2 months and said it was repaired under warranty/recall. The same day that I received the car back, the same problem occurred. They kept it for a few days and said they could not determine the issue and released it back to me yesterday. This morning, it lost power again, while i was taking a left hand turn into oncoming traffic. I was almost t-boned. There is an huge safety issue here that is being brushed off and I’m afraid I will end up in a terrible accident.

We got a “service engine soon” warning stating “the vehicle has detected a concern with the evaporative emissions system” and that we need to “have the vehicle checked by a dealer ASAP”. With this, the dealership ordered a purge control line. This fixed the check engine light for about a week. Suddenly, we received the same warning and message. This time, the “Tech said its possible we hit something because under the vehicle the under shield has a hole in and it the canister valve which is what is causing the check engine light on. We cant get the part cover under warranty because of that. You would be looking at $638.00 not including tax.” Nothing was hit that we can note. The “shield” is a piece of felt. If this canister is so important, why have it “protected” by cloth?

The car intermittently will stop and wont accelerate, usually when in drive… on inclines, after slowing down. Dealer can’t diagnose the problem and it’s getting worse. It jerks and it’s dangerous to drive.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at an independent mechanic for an oil change, the contact was informed that the engine oil casing and separator housing were cracked, causing oil to leak into the engine. The independent mechanic determined that the engine oil casing and separator housing needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V191000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 28,167.

The brakes make a squilling noise when backing up took to Aunto Nation Ford Marietta for several repairs was done still making loud noise driving through traffic.The vehicle was inspected by ford FSA inspection the brakes system still have a defect and loud noise.

Car was parked and windshield cracked from driver side over half the windshield. No damage indicators.

I got in my car to find a 12” long crack in the windshield. Upon inspection, I noticed a small chip in the top black part of the windshield that appears to have caused the crack. I had driven it the previous day and was not aware anything had hit the windshield. It has been extremely cold and the vehicle was exposed to snow. The crack is so large that it impedes the drivers line of sight and cannot be repaired. The windshield needs to be replaced and the ADAS needs recalibration. Clearly the part is faulty or the design is faulty, but this windshield is impacting safe driving.

The brakes have been a problem since I purchased the vehicle new a little over a year ago. They make a loud noise after sitting for too long, plus the calipers seem to "stick". There is a hesitation when I put the vehicle into R or D and have to put my foot on the gas in order for it to "lurch" into movement. I have mentioned this to my dealer service and we informed by them that this is just the way the brakes are on these particular vehicles. If that is indeed the case, then Ford has installed sub-par brakes on all the Bronco Sports.

The brakes are constantly making a horrible noise in reverse. I’ve been to two dealerships to try and have this fixed. I’ve also call ford motor co multiple times and just get run around. The dealership can’t figure out what’s causing it it’s been in at least 10times and still no fix it’s a safety issue and I refuse to transport my grandbabies in it. The dealership will call ford and ford has no idea either how to fix it I’ve asked for a refund and was denied. I am an unhappy ford owner and I can’t get ford to help me

When backing up make loud noise Braking

My moonroof exploded unexpectedly. I was traveling on a 4-lane highway, approximately 60mph. No other cars nearby, no overpasses, no pedestrians anywhere along. Suddenly, it sounded like a shotgun went off inside the vehicle. I pulled over to inspect the vehicle and discovered that the moonroof had broken around the entire perimeter of the glass. I took photos of the moonroof, then removed the broken glass enough to be able to drive directly to the dealership. They have inspected the vehicle, but are refusing to cover the issue under warranty. The vehicle is available for inspection. My safety, and the safety of others, was put at risk because: - the sound of the explosion could have caused me to wreck or to wreck into others - the glass from the moonroof could have fallen on me or other passengers in the vehicle - the glass from the moonroof could have flown off the vehicle and struck another vehicle or passers-by. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the failure.

My truck with dead at a turning light, it's still UNKNOWN what happened. I had 2 people try to give it a boost and it would not turn on, the gears were locked, and it had to be pulled on the tow truck. The brake lights signal was flashing, and the engine light was on the dashboard along with the battery light. I could not get it to turn on and there was no sound to the engine. the radio was working and none of the lights went dim.

Vehicle has 14,600 miles on it. After a regular service for an oil change i requested that the Technician look at the brakes due to abnormal noise coming from them. Technician confirmed that the front brake pad are warn down and need to be replaced and that the rotors as well have been worn down and are in need of needing replacement. With the low amount of miles on the car the brake pads and rotors should not need replacing till at least ( my opinion) for a minimum of 30,000 miles. I have contacted for about this issue and they are not willing to replace them although everyone i have spoken to agree that this is an abnormal amount of wear for a car with such low miles and that there is an issue here that is a major safety issue

Rear brakes moan when reversing at low speed. Has done this since day one. Also the transmission shifts are hard and hangs in sport mode and won’t shift. It hangs at almost 5k rpms and when I let off the gas no shift till 2300 rpms. Took it in and they looked at the transmission fluid said it was darker than usual for the mileage (14,000) and recommended a fluid flush that’s not covered by warranty. They changed fluid and I ask why it was doing this they said “ well that’s why we changed the fluid” which tells me nothing! Now the engine compartment rattle in gear and the transmission temperature after driving only 5 miles is hot enough to fry an egg on so my guess is it runs too hot and is burning or oxidation why else would it be black?

Our Car lost power and engine failed to start in the middle of traffic today. [XXX] This article shows what is happening to our vehicle and I’m making the complaint today. This needs to be recalled!

After first start of the day when in reverse the rear brakes make a foghorn-like noise everyday. This is a known issue as it’s all over the internet. Dealer says it’s not a warranty issue. Could be a safety problem if left unrepaired.

The screen for the entertainment system and rear back up camera goes black in the middle of driving or backing up and it unusable. This happens several times in the last two weeks.

At approximately 2000 miles , I had vehicle fueled, engine was off. After fueling was complete, put foot on break, pushed button to start every caution light imaginable lit up on dashboard, obviously, indicating something was wrong electronically. Vehicle said it was overheating. Brake pedal was all the way to the floor, bronco was not running, never started . Service station attendant lifted hood , didn’t visibly see anything wrong after approximately 5 minutes vehicle was able to start no issues. It was maybe 60° outside, I drove 5 miles from my home. Bronco was picked up, taken in dealership, was not able to replicate. It’s a year old I have 4500 miles on it and worried about future issues while driving.

Battery installed is bad. Different operations were not working properly and I was afraid could stall out in traffic or leave me stranded. Dealership diagnosed it as bad, but now Ford is not acknowleding it is an issue and covering rentals to fix. I have seen many complaints about the Ford Bronco Sport tearing through batteries before their time. Mine was less than a year and a half old and less than 6,000 miles at the time the battery was acting up.

My Bronco has power failure in the middle of driving, entire car shuts off screen reads it goes in power saving mode and everything locks up and it will not start back up. My safety and my entire families safety is put at risk because I'm losing power to my car and it stops working if this happens on a busy highway it could be fatal. Yes, I've had it towed to the Ford house every single time this has happened. They attempt to fix it but give it back and within two days it happens again. I don't believe they know how to fix it. Ford House has had my car off and on for two months it should have been inspected by everyone at this point. No warnings when it happens it just stops working. This all started within the last two months. I purchased my 2022 Bronco brand new drove off the lot with 12 miles. At this point I don't feel safe putting myself or my family back in this vehichle. It needs to be recalled!

We keep getting error messages on the vehicle's information screen that says "The restraints control module has detected a fault with the driver seatbelt buckle sensor circuit". The airbag warning indicator light stays on and the alert occurs numerous times randomly while driving the vehicle. We are afraid that if we get into an accident the airbags might not deploy. We have taken vehicle to dealer for service (it is under new car warranty) and we were told a part is on order, but we've waited for two weeks and we feel unsafe driving it.

While driving my 2022 Ford Bronco Sport several alerts flashed in the dash area including lane assist, front end collision and even just a wrench in a box. All audio was lost. Then the entire dash went dark. All information in the instrument panel disappeared. The tachometer and speedometer both dropped to 0. I had no turn signals and could not determine which gear the vehicle was in. The engine continued to run and I could accelerate and slow down. Eventually everything came back on. This has happened several times and the Ford dealership has had the vehicle 3 times and have not been able to recreate the problem or resolve the issue. Most recently I started the vehicle and the instrument panel immediately went dark. I drove the car for approximately 10 minutes without knowing how fast I was going, what gear I was in, or if I even had working brake lights. I am listing the most recent date below. This has happened on May 4 and 7, July 17 and 18, July 24 and 25, 2023.

Upon receiving the notice that my Ford Bronco Sport was subject to a recall in February 2023, I called my local Ford dealer to schedule a service appointment. The dealer stated that FoMoCo is only supplying dealers with "2 repair kits per week" and that they "could not provide an estimate" on a wait time for getting the repair completed. It is now July 2023 and after reaching out to the dealer twice, they are still unable to provide an estimated wait or schedule an appointment.

Brought vehicle in to address a safety recall (NHTSA Recall Number 22V859) on 3/11/23 to the Groove Ford Dealership in Colorado. At this point in time, the recall was showing from Ford as "Remedy Available". Traveled back to dealership several hours later at my own cost to find out they did not have parts in stock and was told parts would be in in a few days. I have called several times since then, and have been told no one knows when parts actually will be in stock to address this safety recall. Contacted Ford Corporate last week and was told my case would be escalated and someone would reach out within 2 business days. I am now contacting Ford again as no one has reached out to me to get this corrected.

We received a Important Safety Recall from Ford in February 2023 (22S73, NHTSA Recall 22V859). We have been trying unsuccessfully since receiving the notice to get this repair done at AutoNation Ford Torrance (3111 E Pacific Coast Hwy, Torrance, CA 90505) but they keep telling us the parts are not available. On the phone for over an hour today with Ford Customer Service... Ford is saying parts ARE available, but when they call the dealership in Torrance, the dealership says it is first come first served. We have been calling for almost 2 months now repeatedly yet they will not fix this recall. Was recently given the name Mark Grobs who is parts manager in at AutoNation Ford Torrance, and a phone numebr if 310-78404782 and was told we need to call him every week and try to get a hold of him when he has a part in stock, not that he is going to call us when it's in stock, WE HAVE TO CALL HIM and HOPE he has a part in stock!

I purchased my 2022 Ford Bronco Sport in February last year. Approximately two months after purchasing it, my windshield was cracked and it was replaced. Approximately three months after replacing it, a rock hit it while I was driving on the highway and it cracked again. Both times, the crack spread across the whole windshield. My co-worker went to her car at our job, came back into the building and asked me if I knew my car rear window was broken. I went to my vehicle and found my rear window was totally shattered. My supervisor reviewed our video surveillance footage and saw nothing. My rear window just shattered. I replaced it. I filed three auto claims last year with a $500 deductible. My windshield replacement cost's $1,900.00 to $2,100.00 if I pay out of pocket. Today, 03/23/23, I was driving to work, something hit it hard (assuming a rock) and it now has a small chipped hole and a large s shaped crack on it. I will have to replace it again. Can you help with having Ford put better glass (stronger windshield glass) in their vehicles? I'm afraid of having my auto insurance cancelled or not renewed by State Farm for filing too many auto glass claims. I'm waiting for my agent to call me and discuss my concerns.

The windshield cracked for no reason starting behind the rear view mirror.

Brakes keeps getting harder to stop , more pressure is needed to stop. Must press pedal really hard.

After putting car into park and leaving car upon returning and trying to start the gear shift knob will be in reverse position. My shifter is the turning knob on the console which cannot be accidentally turned on less your foot is on the brake. This has happened on more than one occasion. Thank god I don’t park on hills. Have not been to the dealership yet to ask them about this .

The steering has developed a clicking/wind up noise while turning around 4000 miles. The vehicle is available for inspection. The vehicle was brought to the dealer twice. The noise was able to be heard, and seems to be an issue with a few bronco sports on their lot. The dealer noted “operating normally”

I was driving on the highway, when I got a small crack in the windshield on the passenger side. When I was able to stop and inspect the vehicle, there a crack about an inch long. A few hours later after I returned home, I went to retrieve something from the car and noticed the crack had spread to about 6 inches long. I called Ford customer service to make a complaint. I called the dealership a couple of days later and the service department informed it would not be covered under warranty if there is any indication it is something other than a stress fracture. They advised I should file it on my insurance. There is a very tiny chip in the windshield. I am concerned because there are many complaints of cracks in the windshield. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. At this time, I have not taken it to the dealership or had it inspected by insurance representatives. the crack is now about 8 inches long

Dealer is unable to repair recall issues. Ford contacted to buy back the unsafe vehcile. Ford denied the buy back claim. The vehicle is unusable. It is unsafe to drive

The manual park release cable has a defect to it and needs to be replaced. I the defective part causes there to be a rattle at low speeds. Some 2021 bronco sports had a recall previously issued for this part but 2022s, even though they were built with the same part, have not formally been included in the recall yet.

I have taken my 2022 Ford bronco sport into 2 different dealers to check the brakes. They make a loud squealing noise when in reverse. They both dealers said it was dirt in the brakes. They said it was normal. It still it makes the noise in reverse.

Passenger knee airbag did not deploy Drivers Steering column came off at base which is why there was no airbag deployed. Front driver and passenger sun visors came completely off and exposed wires and metal rods.

vehicle with 900 miles on it began smoking and caught fire under the hood for no apparent reason. Vehicle was in new condition. Vehicle likely a total loss (see photos). Driver was lucky to escape

I have had this vehicle approximately 6 months, in that time I have noticed that not only is there a lot of brake dust and the brakes make a loud noise when reversing. The sound is like metal rubbing together and I have only noticed it when backing up. I've taken it to the dealership twice, both times I was told it's the new braking system Ford has and it's "normal".

In the last three weeks the check engine light has come on twice and stayed on after I started the vehicle. The first time it came on I had about 7800 miles on the vehicle. I called the dealership to see if I could get a service appointment (of course it was a Friday afternoon), the earliest appointment was the next Wednesday. I was told as long as the light was not flashing, I could drive the vehicle. I was also told to check the gas cap/door (there is no gas cap!) because there could be an air in the fuel line. As it turned out the light went off the next day. When I took the car in for service, I was told they did the "smoke" test, and everything checked out ok. Three week later the check engine light has come on again. It is a steady light, not flashing, taking it back to the dealership.

Driving and Engine won’t accelerate. Almost like it is just coasting while I was merging on the freeway. It almost caused an accident. It has happened on multiple occasions. Ford service said when it is hot that just happens. It’s unsafe. The car has 600miles on it.

Started my car and started down the driveway and all types of warnings with of about my engine overheating. Checked the antifreeze and there was none. Applied antifreeze and it drained into the engine. I had this vehicle for 2 months and it has been at the dealership since April 28,2022. was told there was a crack in the engine.

Brand new vehicle with about 3500 miles on it. Delivered 04/29/2022. On three separate occasions between 07/29/2022 - 07/31/2022, the vehicle started jerking/losing acceleration while driving and the engine began to sputter. Upon slowing down and during idle, the engine would continue sputtering to low RPM and eventually stall. This happened while driving on the road, almost resulting in an accident in a roundabout during one of the instances. The error I received via the Ford Pass app is: The Engine Control System is unable to control the fuel system pressure as expected. This is clearly a defective product, and so far Ford and Ford and Ford dealerships have offered me little options for repair often stating that it could be more than a month to fix with no options for a loaner vehicle. This is unacceptable. I have video proof of one of the incidents I am willing to share, but I cannot upload it to this form.

There is a repeating clicking noise (click, click, click…) every time I turn the steering wheel. It only occurs when it’s above 90 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Any problem related to the steering, or turning of the vehicle is a safety concern in my opinion. Ford forces the owner to make a service appointment to get the problem inspected (I could not just drive to a dealership). The earliest I could schedule an appointment at one of the three nearest dealerships to me is a week from the day I’m writing this complaint. So I guess I can either keep driving the vehicle in the unsafe condition, or get a rental on my own dime. There are no warning lights or trouble codes related to the issue, and the vehicle only has 3,500 miles on it. I’ve owned it for two months ???.

The driver was on M53 near Armada around 5pm today, July 25, 2022. The owner was driving down the road another vehicle pulled up next to her and told her the vehicle was on fire. The driver was able to exit the vehicle and took the photo (unable to upload photo). Owner called 911 and fire department was able to extinguish the fire.

The current acceleration pedal on this model is made out of hard plastic. While driving your foot slips off the pedal because there is no rubber on the pedal for a better contact. To counter this slippage you have to move the seat closer to the dash. This then becomes a safety issue because you are now too close to the dash to quickly move your foot to the brake pedal when necessary. There is no after market product offered by Ford to correct this matter. This needs to be addressed quickly so Ford can correct this. I don't know how this could not be noticed by the design managers and test team at Ford.

The wrench icon which refers to the Powertrain system keeps coming on. I received a message from the Ford pass system that there was (Fault) in the Powertrain system. That power was reduced. Further it said to see a dealer right away. All of the Ford Dealers in my area are all booked up.

Received a Powertrain malfunction/reduced power warning at 190 miles. Noticed large oil leak on garage floor which turned out was leaking from TPU due to faulty cap. Car has been at dealer for 8 days to replace fluid and cap and no explanation provided for powertrain warning.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked in a parking space on the park position, the vehicle unintendedly accelerated and reversed, striking her mother on the knee. The contact was able to get in the vehicle and depress the brake pedal. An appointment was scheduled for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 5,135.

Car had 3000 miles on it, started rough idling randomly then the check engine light came on and was flashing. Drove straight to the Ford Dealership in Elko, Nevada and barely made it the 5 miles as the car wanted to die, had gas pedal all the way to the floor and was barely going 30 mph. Dealer has had vehicle for over a week and said a core and plug and deactivator solenoid had to be replaced.

The manual park release cable is defective and was a recalled issue on the 2021s (SSM 50274). I am experiencing the same rattle noise on my 2022 and have contacted ford multiple times about the issue and the most they are willing to help with at this point is cover 50% of the costs of fixing it. They state that there is no recall on 2022s and only on 2021s. This is a safety issue on a car with less than 1500 miles and has had this issue since around the 400 mile mark. I used a bronco sport forum to find a contact from someone within Ford who looked up my vin and told me my bronco sport has the same part that has been found to be defective on 2021s — my car was built in November 2021 and soon after ford changed the part number that they are putting in the car so that they aren’t using a defective part. I have also found on forums that there are many people experiencing this issue and are similarly being told that there is no recall on 2022s so we are basically out of luck.

Brakes make a grinding sound at low speed. When in reverse, brakes make a humming sound. This was the same issue that caused a recall of previous models, however my vehicle is not covered by the recall. Took the vehicle to the dealer and they said “we know there is a noise but the brakes are working properly.” The noise is not normal.

Engine makes intermittent metal crunching and scraping sounds at low speeds and when braking in stop an go traffic. And sometimes the sound would be heard the all the time when keeping the car between 25 to 30 mph.

Vehicle's pre-collision assist wasn't working. After taking it to the dealer for repair they stated "VEHICLE ABLE TO DETECT LARGER VEHICLES BUT NOT CARS. DROVE SIMILAR EQUIPPED VEHICLES, WITH THE SAME RESULTS. NO PROBLEM FOUND AT THIS TIME." Ford describes the pre-collision assist as "This feature scans the road ahead and can alert you to potential collisions with vehicles or pedestrians detected in your path." This safety feature is supposed to work with pedestrians and vehicles, not "larger vehicles but not cars" "

Car failed to go into drive several times while in traffic. Was bought with zero miles and started making strange grinding and knocking noises immediately. When I reported it I was told I couldn’t get it checked for a month and that it was safe to drive until appointment. I was soon stuck in the middle of busy intersections because car would not drive after I give it gas and it acted like it was in neutral. This happened every time I stopped until I made it safely home it was very scary because I could have caused an accident not being able to go when needed and was almost stranded in traffic. There were never any warning lights. After having it towed to the dealership I am now being told it could be transmission problems, but it doesn’t seem there is much knowledge on this particular vehicles mechanics or electrical system. Ford has not been honest or in contact with me about situation. Should not be happening at under 1000 miles and after more research seems is a common issue they knew about that they did not fix before selling to me. It has been at the dealership for 3 weeks with little communication or explanation.
