SERVICE BRAKES
Have had squeeking breaks since receiving the truck a year ago. Brought in and was told to watch for a letter they don't have the part that my breaks are safe but the squeeking has gotten a lot worse. Also the dash board lights turn on and off when the car is off. The other day driving at speed on the expressway the whole dash board turned off all gages went to zero than rebooted. I was coasting trying to figure out what was happening so not sure if I lost power. 3 faults were sent to my phone. Restraint fault abs fault and tire pressure fault all showed up.

The tailgate opens without warning and no warning is given when it opens. The tailgate opens without warning while driving, parked and not running. This has opened on me several time causing numerous safety issues to include contents of my bed falling out on the roadway while driving. The tailgate has opened as my young daughter was walking by and it nearly striking her in the head. As I left the store today when I returned to my vehicle the tailgate was down and had opened while I was not in or near the vehicle. I contacted the dealership where the vehicle was purchased and was told that there is no recall or fix for the issue at this time. I was told they are aware of the issue but could not fix it. There are no lights, sounds or warnings to when the tailgate will open.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
APIM (SYNC4) went out and does not work. The APIM controls most functions in the truck. I do not have a working display screen, cannot charge phone, cannot use any of the features I paid to use, no back up camera, and no radio. The trucks user/owners manual is also apart of the APIM (SYNC4) system. Nothing connected with the APIM works. I have waited over 1 month for replacement APIM and Ford has still not sent a replacement. I believe this is happening with new Ford Broncos using the same APIM (SYNC4). There are tons of Ford owner forums complaining about this same issue. I believe Ford and Ford Service is hiding this problem. My Ford Service records shows "Services Performed" as "Unknown."

WHEELS
The bolt that secures the hub to the semi float axle shaft sheared on the rear passenger side. At this point, the only thing holding the wheel/hub assembly on the truck is spline friction and brake caliper. I discovered the issue today during a tire rotation, but based on the condition of the bolt it appears that the bolt has been sheared for some time--possibly from the factory.
