VISIBILITY/WIPER
Went out to start the vehicle one afternoon to notice a Crack from the outside passenger edge by the frame. Nothing hit the windshield and just a single line of Crack spread from one side of the windshield straight across took to ford to be told that while they couldn't see an impact they wouldn't cover it under warranty be cause they couldn't prove it was their fault

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
When I purchased my vehicle I noticed the round rod that contains the backup camera, which is mounted on the spare tire bracket to be all scratched and scruffed up. The dealership (Hawk Ford, Carol Stream) agreed to replace this. Their are scratches inside where the camera sits around the threading and the rod it self is all banged up. I showed the dealer ship this and they replaced the mounting bracket, not the rod so when I got my car back I contacted them right away and sent before and after pictures. Manager went into lot and said all of the other ones he checked had the same issue. He was going to contact Ford to see if they were aware and how to go about this concern affecting my vehicle and all others on their lot. It should be new with no physical defects, but it appears used. When you buy a new car, you expect everything to be new and look new but this does not.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Good afternoon! My car started having issues going in reverse before I received the recall notification. It would nearly stall out and happened a couple times prior to getting the notice. Once I got the notice, I reached out to the dealer to see if anything could be done and was told no, not yet. Now, months later, it has gotten so bad that I am having to leave my house when it's cool (it doesn't stall as bad when it's cool out), and park my car in a certain way each day to ensure that I can effectively leave work without my car stalling. What is worse is that now, on hot days, my car semi-stalls, when I am driving on toll roads or back country roads on the way home. It loses power or jerks. I have an hour commute each way and this is NOT okay. Frankly, it is very scary sometimes. I have reached out to the dealership to ask them if it's safe for me to drive my car or if there is something they could do and I am constantly told that there is no solution, I have to wait, and they "legally" cannot tell me that it is safe to drive my car. They offered the option to rent a car, but I would have to pay a minimum of $45 out of pocket, per DAY, and I cannot afford to do that! I am already paying $600 a month for this car, now they want me to pay an additional $1350-$1395 a month just so I can feel safe? This has been going on for roughly 7 months. Who knows how long a "solution" will take. 7 months x $1350 a month = I would be out almost $9500 on TOP OF my car payment with no end in sight. I feel like this is moving at a snails pace. The problem is getting worse and I am getting the run around. No help is being offered to make me feel safe driving this car! They seem annoyed when I ask about it (I have only reached out three times in the last 4 months). The recall even says that it could stall while driving. So, honestly, what is it going to take for me to not die in a crash when my car stops on a high-speed road? Seriously. What can be done?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I purchased this vehicle in May this year and in July the manufacturer issued a safety recall notice. The manufacturer mentions in the recall that the engine may fail and can lead to crashes. I am unbale to use the vehicle for business, since I received the notice and it is causing me a lot to the verge of collapsing my business. I would like the manufacturer to look into this and issue a remedy as quickly as possible as the financial strain on my business is enormous. Thank you!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Description of the Problem: The issue involves the speakers and radio system in my 2025 Ford Bronco. The audio system intermittently cuts out completely, resulting in a total loss of sound. This includes music, phone calls via Bluetooth, and most importantly, navigation voice instructions. The component (the vehicle’s speaker/radio system) is still installed in the vehicle and available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk: This malfunction poses a safety risk while driving. When using navigation, if the sound cuts out unexpectedly, I am forced to look down at my device for directions, which distracts me from the road and increases the risk of an accident. In modern vehicles where navigation and hands-free systems are standard for safe driving, losing audio output directly impacts driver safety. Reproduction and Confirmation: The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by my local Ford dealership on two separate visits. The service department acknowledged that they are aware of the issue affecting multiple vehicles but stated that there is currently no available fix from Ford. Inspection: The vehicle has been inspected by the Ford dealership twice. They ran diagnostics and confirmed the issue originates from the speaker/radio system, but no replacement or repair has been offered at this time. The manufacturer (Ford) has not provided a technical service bulletin or recall to address it. Warning Signs or Messages: There were no warning lamps, error messages, or prior symptoms before the failure. The sound loss occurs randomly while driving, without any visible indicator or pattern. The first occurrence was shortly after purchasing the vehicle in September 2025, and the issue has continued intermittently since.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
The contact owns a 2024 Ford Bronco. The contact stated that while driving and coming to a stop, the Engine Auto Start-Stop system failed to engage, and the engine revved significantly, causing the vehicle to move forward unintendedly. The contact stated that the failure persisted while standing on the brake pedal, requiring the contact to shift to neutral(N) or to park(P) to stop the engine. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on two occasions. The contact stated that the vehicle nearly moved into oncoming traffic on the first occasion and the vehicle nearly crashed into the rear of another vehicle on the second occasion. The failure also required the contact to steer the vehicle away from another vehicle or to shut off the engine to avoid a crash. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the failure might be related to a low battery. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
rear view camera display when vehicle is in reverse will intermittently turn blue or black which renders the rear view camera useless. and at times will state camera unavailable. vehicle is a 2021 ford bronco built on june 15, 2021 at ford Michigan build plant. i have contacted ford related to this concern as i believe that the vehicle should fall under recall 23s48 for rear camera replacement, and 25s49 for module updates related to rear camera display. the vehicle year, build date, assembly plant and symptoms all fit within the parameters of recall. note that i also have a 2022 bronco that these recalls are active on for the same concerns, the concern happens 7-8 times a week for the last 4-5 months. dealership has contacted ford sssc team about getting recalls activated on this vehicle and they are given the most basic responses stating that this vehicle is not included due to "certain model year vehicles" even though the vehicle is clearly within the model years outlined in both recalls. the rear view camera intermittently not working is a safety issue as it can stop working at any time when you would be using it to reverse. thank you for your time and consideration when investigating this concen.

SUSPENSION, SERVICE BRAKES
This is about Brake system and vacuum line linked Bronco. This is highly related to my own safety as when I go uphill or highway, this 'brake failure system' always is on and sometimes you are very hard to press a brake pedal as it's very stiff and not easy to press using your foot. But the thing is it comes and goes and sometimes it stopped and coming back. I today asked for a repair at dealership and they charge me 650 dollars as there's no official recall. Although it happened before my warranty's up and there's so many people suffering this identical issue but Ford didn't do anything and charge money to customers.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
In August while driving at highway speed on I-94, the engine started to stall in traffic with no warning lights or indicators. Outside temperature was in the mid 80’s. Had to carefully pull over and restart the vehicle, it continued to intermittently stall. After turning ignition off and restarting it cleared up. This is the third time this has happened in traffic at highway speeds. Once in June, once in July and this time in August. There is a recall for this, but it is concerning to drive on the highway.

There has been no incident because of this recall, but it is going on 3 months since I was contacted about this recall. We worry about the fuel pump going out when we drive the car. I mean how long do you have to wait? I have my grandson driving this car.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I was driving the vehicle on high mountain pass roads in Colorado. Anytime I would approach approximately 11,400 feet of elevation. The vehicle would instantly lose all power with no warning lights of any kind. All gauges were in the normal operating range. Vehicle would barely move 2 mph. Created a very unsafe condition on narrow steep dirt roads in the mountains. As soon as I turned around and descended approximately 100 feet in elevation the power came back instantly and vehicle operated normally. This happened on three occasions. The roads we were on were narrow, off-road vehicle mountain roads, and it created an extremely dangerous situation. I contacted Ford and they have not heard of this issue and there are no recalls associated with it. I spoke to a Ford bronco ambassador, who was also on the trail system with a lot of other off-road vehicles, including Broncos and they had never heard of this happening . This vehicle is Six months old. Ford says there are no codes set on my computer and since they cannot duplicate this where I live in Phoenix because there are no roads high enough I don’t know where to turn.
