ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
This is the 3rd time this vehicle has been in for service in less than three months. The initial two visits were for a differential issue that was not completely resolved. Also, the brakes seem to have unusual wear for the mileage of the vehicle. The current visit is happening as of today and the issues are being diagnosed and appear to be potentially possibly an electrical issue. There is also a very loud squealing sound when I back up and have been told by both the dealership and Ford that it is known but there is not yet a fix. I am on the phone with Ford letting them know I do not feel safe in the vehicle and they advised to file a report here.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Driving the vehicle in the dark on the interstate at 75 MPH and vehicle dash and all lights except front day time driving lights turned off. Almost hit a deer that was dead in the road. This is a recall that was already “fixed” in the spring. Local Ford dealer not worried about safety and says they are backed up can’t get the vehicle in to diagnose recall again for another week. I live in Rural Wyoming and have to drive 35 miles both ways for work. This vehicle is completely unsafe to drive.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I’ve had my 2022 ford bronco sport for about 2 1/2 years I ordered it brand new and it made 8 miles on it when I drove it off the lot. Within the past month it’s completely blacked out my radio display while I was driving and wouldn’t come back on until it was turned off and turned back on. Now when I start it it’s acting like the battery is going out. I wouldn’t expect a battery to go out under 3 years. Please please can you help me with these issues.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Overnight my electrical system went from working perfectly to not at all. I couldn’t unlock my car using the fob or the unlock button on the driver door and had to manually access the inside of the vehicle. When inside, no lights of any kind were on, the welcome screen was black, and no dinging that typically happens when the driver door is open. When I attempted to start my vehicle (I have a physical key, not a press to start) the car had no response, just silence. I have dealt with dead batteries before and could hear clicking when trying to start the car but I have never experienced complete silence like this. It was as if an EMP hit my car. My vehicle had all recalls fixed and evaluated with no issues. I am awaiting inspection from the dealership.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
There is a repetitive water pump failure in my 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. After 3 replacements, they believe they know what is causing it and even though all the failures occurred under warranty they want to charge $2700 for a decontamination in the coolant lines because they now believe that is the cause. My safety is put at risk daily as I risk my engine blowing up from faulty water pumps. When I did not have the $2700 to repair the decontamination, they told me I would just need an additional water pump down the line. Service records will be attached to this report. No warning lamps or messages, just a strong smell of coolant. Also, the seals on the rear drive shaft leak, they repaired a seal. Now the rear vent tube is leaking. The warranty and extended warranty does not cover the repair. Ford refuses to fix the problem and the dealership continues to say Ford is aware of the issues with that vehicle year but they refuse to fix them.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
June 28th, 2024; the entire car turned off on its own while I was waiting for a red light. The engine was primarily off from the auto-start feature, like normal, except after I let go of the brake the entire car just shuts off. The start button would not press, the brake pedal was insanely stiff to press, and the dashboard had all the lights turned on an off, and I couldn't change gears whatsoever. Many displays on the dash appeared, parking brake was forced to turn on, pre-collision feature disabled, "System off to save battery" on the main screen, etc. I was in the middle of traffic, so I was putting myself and others in danger while my car suddenly shuts off without prior warning. There was never an indication that this would happen, and I only had the car for a year and a half, so I would think the only problem would be the system itself. I managed to turn the car on by putting the key fob on the center console where the Bronco can read it, and it immediately turned on after an hour. The dealership did check it out right after and said it only needed a small system update. Ever since, the car was fine until July 24th: the car did not start again. I was home and my car was parked, so no danger this time. However, I tried laying the key on the console again, including my spare key, but no luck. I had originally thought it was the battery in my key that was low, but it was working fine like always. However, when I locked the car, the horn and lights were faded, and weren't as strong as it should sound. Although this is the second occurrence in about a month, I've only had the dealership inspect it once. I am available for inspection after August 1st. Thank you.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Car stalled twice within a weeks time. Service dealer is reporting it as a battery issue when this seems to be a common problem online in forums. The car doesn’t give any sign or warning it just comes to a stop whether it be an intersection, highway, etc and does not allow you to place car in neutral because of its state.
