ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Charging System The vehicle safety systems and monitoring systems shut down due to battery charging system failures. Problem confirmed by Ford engineers. And Ford service where the vehicle is still sitting. Vehicle has been at dealership 90% since 8/2022. They and Ford engineers do not know what’s wrong or why it will not keep a charge. Battery replaced, alternator and more but it still is unsafe to drive. Have too many warnings to count. And we have taken it to dealer for repair but nothing fixes it. And even the Ford engineers do not understand why it fails.

ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES
this has happened twice to me. First time, I was driving around a roundabout - and the engine kicked off and there were a lot of alerts across the screen. I was safely able to coast off the road and onto the side where I sat for a little bit trying to restart it. After pushing the start button several times - it started back up and I was on my way. Most recently, last week - I was driving on the highway and the engine died and so many alerts were going across the screen. I couldn't pay much attention to the errors because a semi almost rammed my back end. I was on an incline on an off ramp and was trying to coast to the side as much as I could. It was too scary to monitor what was happening on the screen. I sat there trying to restart the Bronco and after several tries - it started back up and I was able to drive away. The Bronco is at the Dealership right now for them to look it over. No warning messages or anything - the engine shut down and then the alerts started. It appeared to be like every alert that could come up. There were so many. I also have the squealing and loud brakes. On back up .... they scream bloody murder. It is so embarrassing.

Issue with brakes - the vehicle has been at the dealership 4 times with no resolution to the noise coming from rear brakes and now the brakes seem to lock up at a stop and release suddenly creating a safety issue for my family and the motoring public. After the last attempt the noise is a lot worse then it was prior to the repairs recommended by Ford's TSB

My car has around 13,000 miles and my heat started to not work. I took it to the ford dealer shop and it has been at the mechanic for over 1 month. They are replacing the water coolant. I read in forums that several people have had issues with the water coolant as well. I am unsure when the car will be ready
