Catastrophic engine failure 16 AUG 2022. Ford Bronco Sport with the 2.7 engine, some 2,800 miles, towed to repair facility Austin TX, can be inspected there, notify for details. Safety of all at risk, car in "deep sleep" with no warning, fortunately not yet on interstate highway from residential/small business area. Multiple warning signals appeared in vehicle only as engine in death throes. This problem, we find, is now under investigation by the NHTSA. No information on fix by Ford but appears to require full engine replacement under warranty. Inspection underway today at non-Ford repair facility. Note: Vehicle operated by New Mexico owner's adult daughter in Austin TX.

ENGINE
Within seconds of parking and turning off my vehicle I heard a loud pop and saw gray smoke billowing out from under the hood of my 2021 Ford Bronco Sport. Within 10 minutes the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames and destroyed two other vehicles and did additional property damage. The fire investigator stated that the fire started in the lower right front of the engine compartment but many of the parts were now incinerated including the aluminum wheels that melted into a puddle. No warning lamps or other indicators were present. Insurance representatives are currently inspecting the vehicle.

SERVICE BRAKES
When coming to a stop and pressing on the breaks it periodically will make s sound and then there is about a 2O SEC DELAY before coming to complete stop. If I am driving downhill the delay is longer. This scares my since I drive over 100 miles a day for work. I have reached out to FORD and the manufacture and they still do not have a fix to the issue.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I was driving in Atlanta in 4 lanes of heavy traffic. My new Bronco just started slowing down and I was almost killed by traffic swerving around me. The message said deactivated switch and fuel injector faulty. Then Bronco completely stopped and would not crank. 100 degree heat in bad part of town. Stranded and scared. After being towed, the deactivated switch replaced in Ford dealership in Georgia. No loaner given. After 2 weeks at my expense, I get car back. 2 months later it happens again. Now, it’s in dealership for third time for 2 more weeks. Waiting to hear what’s wrong. The dealership has ordered fuel injector replacements. This is a brand new Bronco with about 4k miles. I am distressed and disappointed.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My 2021 Bronco Sport has a stress crack in the windshield and it is very concerning because on the Facebook forum, I am seeing tons of Bronco Sport owners having the same issue. Some owners are on their 2nd to 4th windshield. Ford is not taking responsibility for this issue and is having owners submit to their auto insurance. I’m very concerned for the safety and integrity of the windshields that are being put in these vehicles. I’m getting mine replaced but how can I trust that it won’t happen again. I’m very scared that it will shatter while driving.

SERVICE BRAKES, STRUCTURE:BODY
I have a brake recall related to a safety defect. The car does not stop quick enough at highways speeds, however ford has not offered a remedy in a timely manner. I have been to 4 different Ford dealerships with no success. All four have informed me it would take a week to get the part, to later change the answer and say its unavailable on backorder. I can't get my brakes repaired. Additionally, the back door does not lock under any circumstances. The car is unsafe and unsecure from the inside and out.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
There is an electrical issue with the cars running lights, headlights and interior lighting. Intermittently, when the car is shut off and either locked or unlocked, the cars running lights, and/or headlights, and/or interior lighting fail to shut off. This occurs BEYOND the 30 to60 minute delay feature. This happens when you lock the door from the door lock or the key fob. In all cases the car has to be unlocked and relocked, trying either, or re-starting the car, shutting it off and locking the car again. At some point the battery will fail before its 60 months.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
While driving on surface and freeway, the vehicle dramatically loses fuel pressure and slows down. It's a hazard. Nearly rear-ended on the highway. After a while, pressure resumes, only to fail randomly. No warning or malfunction indicators appear. Vehicle has been at a Ford service center 2 times and is there again, now. First, they changed the battery. Then they told us we didn't drive it enough. Suspiciously, there's a recall addressing the exact same issue on the same make and model, made at a different plant. Perhaps it's related? NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V625000.

SERVICE BRAKES
I had two recalls which one of them was my breaks. I went about 3 months ago and they told me they didn't have the part and they would place the order and I would get a call as soon as it arrived. I waited and a new recall came in saying there was a leak in the engine oil and it could cause a fire on my car. I called Ford after I made an appointment online, when I spoke to the lady she said she had no idea and all she could do was made me an appointment. I decided to drive myself in person to this dealer Big Valley Ford and let them know what was happening since my app and my car both said I had I HAS 0% OIL LIFE and i needed oil changed ASAP. according to my sticker on the window from the previous oil changed it said I had over 1000 miles before oil change, yet my car and app were telling me i had 0% oil life. When i went to them specially after knowing there was a recall for oil leak they took my car and said they would inspected, they called me again and said there was nothing wrong with it and to ignored it, I never got a paper or anything with such information. I asked about the other recall and if my parts were finally in and the guy said there is no record or order for that. He sent me to speak to someone else and when I did they lied to me saying my car parts had been order. When I left a lady call me saying she needed pictures of my car to be able to order them and I told her someone had already said they were order that morning and she said no orders were never place. I drive back to them again and I live 20 minutes away, If i didn't show up in person again they would had never had made the order I had been waiting for over 3 months. As of today I do not longer feel safe with this car and I don't want it, yet I dont know what to do to solve this I need help please!!

SERVICE BRAKES
Purchased 2021 Ford Bronco Sport in 9/21 and was made aware of safety recall from Ford in 12/21 stating problem with front brakes to be repaired 2nd quarter of 2022. Took vehicle to dealership 4/22 and replaced front pads only. Took vehicle back 2 weeks later due to grinding noise coming from brakes and reduced braking distance. When the vehicle was inspected told nothing is wrong when clearly the vehicle is not safe.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
When trying to start my new Ford Bronco with 3000 miles on it in my driveway , the vehicle would not start and there were no lights on the dashboard , everything was black . When the vehicle was jumped , it started , but the console and radio was still black and when you put the car in drive it just stalled out. The tow truck came and could not put the vehicle in neutral so he had to drag the car onto the bed of the truck . It was taken to the dealership and they had the vehicle for a week and said they could not find a problem and after a few days the vehicle just started working. I read online that this same incident is happening to many Bronco owners and this is something that really needs to be fixed by Ford.

When I drive in reverse at any speed, there is a very loud noise. When I got my last oil change I told the repair tech at my Ford Dealer and he said he didn’t hear it. I took it home and now it is worse, and extremely loud.
