ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
After coming down an incline in my garage at work I stopped at a red light, took my foot off of the brake to let the brake assist kick in and my auto idle kicked off as well. Within seconds my car shut off and the instrument panel started flickering. I got SEVERAL error messages flashing by quickly including the "Park Brake Malfunction Service Now" error. I tried to turn the car back on and kept hearing a clicking sound followed by all of the lights flashing again. I couldn't shift to any other gear and was stuck at this intersection unable to move the car or get the windows to open or do anything. Opened the hood to check the battery and everything looked clean and tightly connected. Jiggled the terminal and let it shut down completely. Tried starting again and it worked this time. This has happened once in this same spot before. I took it in to the dealership and they are currently "trying to recreate the issue to get the error message." The true safety concern is for this to happen while on the highway or even in the middle of an intersection. It seems to happen out of nowhere and the fact that the car cannot be put in neutral doesn't even allow for moving it to a safer location.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
After 2 years, I have still been unable to get an appointment with any Ford dealership to repair the 3 issues that have warranted recalls of my vehicle, my car is almost 3 years old and only has 18,000 miles on it because I do not feel safe driving it due to it not have the necessary repairs. I find it alarming that I can get in for an oil change or any other maintenance issue but not for a safety issue.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
While driving on the interstate at 65-70mph, my Bronco Sport lost all acceleration randomly. The engine would rev, but there was no acceleration. I had no indication of errors (no engine light, etc.) Before this happened, I was using the adaptive cruise control. I had to pull over and power cycle the vehicle to fix the issue. This was while traffic was busy with cars flying by me. I have not taken it to a dealership or had it diagnosed yet, but this shouldn't be something that happens anyways. Not only was this scary, it was a huge safety risk as it could have caused a wreck.

ENGINE
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.
