SERVICE BRAKES
There is multiple anti lock braking faults that pop up while driving and then go away the next time the vehicle is used. Brake fluid, pads, rotors and calipers all seem to spec and are working at the moment, but major concerns with the software or possible release and reengagement of the emergency brake.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V468000 (Engine, Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 70 MPH uphill, the vehicle lost drive power. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The driver was able to pull over to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the main wiring harness had dislodged, sat across the exhaust, and was burned. The dealer determined that the main wiring harness needed to be replaced, which required the temporary removal of several components. The contact was provided a repair estimate and was advised that the failure was not covered under the recall and that the vehicle was out of warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact obtained a rental vehicle out-of-pocket. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that partial assistance might be provided. The failure mileage was approximately 60,908.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Safety Defect – Inadequate Warning and Insufficient Time to Respond to Alternator/Charging System Failure I am submitting this safety complaint regarding a dangerous condition in my 2022 Ford Bronco involving the charging system and alternator protection behavior. While driving, a warning related to the charging system/battery appeared. The message lacked sufficient clarity and urgency. The time from the warning until the 12-volt battery was fully depleted was extremely short—too brief to safely identify a location and pull completely out of traffic. Once the battery died: • The vehicle could not be placed in neutral, preventing it from being moved out of the travel lane. • There was insufficient power to operate the hazard lights. This occurred on a busy highway, leaving the vehicle disabled in traffic and creating a significant safety risk. I was fortunate it happened in daylight. Had it occurred at night without functioning hazard lights, the likelihood of a catastrophic accident would have been high. This aligns with known alternator/charging system issues on 2021-2022 Broncos addressed in Ford Technical Service Bulletin TSB 23-2238 (superseding TSB 22-2392). The combination of an unclear warning, inadequate response time, loss of neutral capability, and loss of hazard lights presents an unreasonable safety risk. I request that Ford investigate this condition, provide a permanent remedy, and improve the warning strategy so drivers receive clear, timely notice with enough opportunity to reach a safe location.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The structural fuel line located on top of the fuel tank ruptured, causing highly pressurized fuel to actively spray directly toward the hot exhaust piping on my 2022 Ford Bronco (44,657 miles). This failure created an immediate, catastrophic, and potentially fatal fire risk to myself and others. There were no warning lamps, error messages, or prior symptoms leading up to this failure; the severe leak was only discovered after a routine, short-distance trip to and from a local grocery store. The vehicle and the failed component are currently available for inspection upon request. To date, the vehicle has only been inspected by myself and a local Ford dealership. The dealership visually confirmed the leak but improperly misdiagnosed the structural line failure as "rodent damage" without providing any supporting physical evidence. However, multiple online owner forums suggest this specific fuel line failure is a known, systemic manufacturing concern. I escalated this issue to Ford Customer Service (Case #CXH-08762672-F7N2Y7), but Ford denied the warranty claim based solely on the dealership's misdiagnosis. My documented physical evidence clearly shows a component manufacturing rupture, not outside damage.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
There is a recall on this vehicle (25S75), issued on July 8, 2025. As of the date of writing this, there is no remedy available. This is a safety issue, and the fact that it remains unresolved over a year later, is completely unacceptable. The NHTSA site says to file a complaint if the issue is not remedied in a timely manner, and this is certainly not a timely remedy.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Flat towing a 2025 Bronco behind a 2025 Newmar Dutchstar using a Blue Ox tow bar with Demco AirForce Braking System. Ford has a setting called neutral towing. It allows you to tow behind a motorhome with brake lights, braking, etc. When the Ford is in neutral tow, and in neutral gear, all 4 wheel roll freely and you can tow safely. What's happening is the Ford is waking up out of neutral tow when the 12V battery gets low. This isn't supposed to happen as there is a 7 Pin electrical connector from the motorhome to the 6 pin electrical connected to the Bronco. Once the 12v battery gets low, the Ford computer wakes up, see's it moving the back tow tires, so the system is applying the emergency brake locking up the 2 back tires. This has now happened three times as we have traveled from [XXX] to [XXX] (had it looked at Crossroads of Ford of Apex where I bought it). I took it in to Schmop Ford in Denver and after almost a deadly accident on XXX near [XXX], to XXX. They found the back two tires destroyed. Ford replaced the tires at no charge, but the issue remains. THIS SUV SHOULD NOT BE APPROVED FOR FLAT TOWING. It is dangerous and could be deadly. You have no way of knowing unless someone else tells you. Thanks to the stranger on XXX on XXX. They told us of our issue so we pulled over. If we were to continue driving the motorhome, the tires would've been totally destroyed, a fire, or cause us to flip over. There are so many complaints on the internet about this issue. You must make Ford fix this issue with a software fix immediately. Don't make my complaint for another unlucky traveler like myself. I have enclosed the back tire picture. You can see one tire with the tread completely gone, the other tire tread missing is not shown. You can also see how the tires are mis-shaped from rubbing across the highway cement. I AM TRYING TO UPLOAD PICTURES BUT YOUR SYSTEM IS GIVING ME AN ERROR FOR A JPEG LESS THAN 10MB INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ENGINE
The vehicle experienced a sudden, severe mechanical engine condition resulting in a violent rough idle, loss of motive power, and a flashing Check Engine light with hard misfire codes on Cylinders 4, 5, and 6 (the entire driver-side engine bank). Additionally, the vehicle has been losing engine coolant internally with no external leaks or puddles on the ground, indicating fluid is entering the combustion chambers. These symptoms exactly mirror the mechanical pattern documented in Ford Safety Recall 24S55 (NHTSA Campaign Number 24V635) involving brittle engine intake valves fracturing. This vehicle has an August 2022 manufacture date and sits just outside the manufacturer's current restricted recall window, indicating that the defective component batch extends significantly past the reported dates. Component Availability: The engine is intact and available for federal inspection. Safety Risk: The sudden loss of engine power, hard stalling, and severe misfires while operating the vehicle creates an immediate risk of being rear-ended by traffic or stranded on a high-speed roadway without motive power. Dealer Confirmation/Inspection: These symptoms occurred recently at roughly 58,300 miles. The vehicle is currently being towed to an authorized dealership for diagnostic confirmation, relative compression testing, and cooling system pressure testing to officially verify the root cause. It has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives. Warning Symptoms: Prior to the sudden rough idle, the vehicle exhibited a low coolant level in the reservoir. There were no dashboard warning lamps or performance symptoms prior to the sudden flashing Check Engine light and immediate hard misfires.

SEATS
They have yet to repair this recall even though a remedy has been available. I have asked multiple times at my dealer and they always have a reason they can’t do it. They text me one time and never set the appointment. I have called and called and even went in. I asked at my oil change and at first they said yes but then they said they couldn’t check because “it would take all day and they did not have the time”. I went in at 8:15 or 9:15am. I even called after I made my oil change appointment and verified on the phone they can check for the recall that day and they said yes. But changed it when I showed up. I haven’t heard back since then. Here is the recall information; Manufacturer Recall Number26S30 NHTSA Recall Number26V268 They also have yet to notify me of the second recall on the vehicle causing engine fires. I only found out because I have a news app and saw an article. I have the Ford app and it “alerts me to recalls” but I’ve found out about every recall from the news not Ford until months after. Why aren’t they notifying customers promptly?

Nothing has happened yet, but I dont want to wreck or die waiting for them to create a fix. It has been a year since they issued the recall & they have built year after year of new ones, so either they are continuing to build Broncos with crappy fuel pumps,nor they have better ones that they aren't giving to us that have had the Bronco for years already.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY FORD BRONCO STALLED OUT ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE! IT FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE IS MISFIRING AND NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL WHILE GIVING THE CAR GAS. FORD HAS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE TO FIX THE FUEL PUMP ISSUE, ACCORDING TO FORD. THIS VEHICLE HAS BECOME A TICKING BOMB WITH RECALL AFTER RECALL. MANY OF THE RECALLS ARE DANGEROUS AND THE VEHICLE IS AT REAL RISK OF A MAJOR MALFUNCTION OR FIRE AND ACCIDENT! I WANT REIMBURSEMENT FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR THE CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD ON THE VEHICLE. 23 RECALLS AND NUMEROUS OTHER ISSUES THAT I HAD TO HAVE FIXED OVER THE 4 YEARS SINCE I OWNED IT. TOTALLY RIDICULOUS AND QUITE FRANKLY UNBELIEVABLE COMING FROM A LARGE COMPANY LIKE FORD. I WANT REIMBURSEMENT FROM FORD OR FORD CAN BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK VEHICLE BACK. TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS BRONCO AT THIS POINT . I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF FORD SAYING A FIX IS NOT AVAILABLE!

Vehicle hands free for phone is not understandable to others after a software update over a year ago. After an automatic software update I made a phone call and the person called complained about me not being understandable. I disconnected and called again. Still unreadable. I tried calling someone else. Not readable. Was told I sounded like I had my head in a bucket of water. I called a third person. Not readable. All this happened immediately after the software update. I took my vehicle to the dealer the first opportunity I had time. The problem was verified by a service tech. He did a hard reboot of the system. The problem did not improve. I was asked to make an appointment. The vehicle has been back to the dealer many times since. The problem has not been resolved. The SAFETY PROBLEM is that I am not able to use my phone hands free. PA passed a law that touching a phone is a moving violation. The dealer said it was my phone. I have a Kyocera ruggedized phone. I replaced it with a newer version of the phone. Cost was over $800. FYI - I have used my phone on my wife's Bronco which has NEVER had a software update as the auto updates was turned off. I also own a Ford F-350 with Sync3 and the phone works fine. I was driving a Mack dump truck with hands free. No problem. I have checked it on 2 friends Honda cars. No problem. Apparently my phone works with everything but my Ford Bronco. Sometime during the last few months there was a safety recall for the same entertainment system that the phone uses going black. I never had this problem. Ford engineering still says the problem is my phone. I am not replacing my phone again to find that I still can't be understood. I have done some online research on this and found posts on multiple bulletin boards there seems to be the same problem with other owners of Ford Broncos and F-150s with Sync4. Not being able to use the hands free is a serious safety problem.
