ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I was approaching a stop light which turned green and as i slowed down my vehicle's power stopped. The vechicle notice said shift to park. I had to turn the car off - in the middle of a busy road - and turn it back on. it took a couple of tries. This was incredibly dangerous as cars almost hit me as the light was green. Ford knows about this recall but just sent us a notice saying to keep drving it but "be careful" and they will get a fix in the next quarter. I must drive but i do not feel like it is safe. why are people allowed to drive these cars that they know are in danger of stalling. They should all be told to stop driving these cars and give them a replacement until they can get it fixed. I have had to have the battery replaced in this vehicle several months ago despite very low mileage because the car would not start and it seems to be related to this same 12v battery issue. I frequently get "critical battery" notices from the vehicle even when I'm not in it.

ENGINE
The vehicle has strong exhaust fumes inside. It has gotten so bad people at work smell it on me. I even went to the doctor because I was trying to fall asleep while driving, I am confused when I first arrive places, my lungs feel like I am inhaling fire, I have the most painful headaches, and I am nauseous around the times I drive my car. My two girls are experiencing the same problems. But if we do not drive the Bronco on the weekends, no problems. My husband put it on the life at home and there are bolts missing from the dust shield, the ones there are loose, he had to tighten the bolts on the heads, and the convertor has “hot spots” on it. I have to drive at all times with a window down. The exhaust fumes can be smelled from outside as well. I have taken it to the dealer and was told there was no smell. I am scared at this point to drive it.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, STEERING
First the battery was drained and needed replaced. Then message on center navigation screen displays “System Off to Save Battery. Please turn ignition off or start engine” when entering the car before trying to start it. Then I was notified of a recall that needed to be done. The recall was for “the body control module bcm and powertrain control module pcm calibrations may be unable to detect a sudden change in the 12-VOLT battery state of charge during a drive cycle.” The safety risk of this recall was as follows: “If the bcm and pcm calibrations are unable to detect a sudden battery degradation during a drive, the vehicle may be unable to restart after an auto stopstart event or may experience a stall while coming to a stop at low speed. The vehicle may also lose 12-VOLT accessories, including hazard lights. A loss of motive power can increase the risk of a crash.” The Ford Service Center did a software update to resolve this recall. Then the car started displaying a message on the dashboard front screen “Charging System Service Soon” and the battery light would be on. I also got a notification from my Ford app saying “Charge System Fault” “Indicates that there is a 12V charging system fault”.The car was taken to the Ford Service Center immediately and they said it just needed reprogrammed. The issue seemed to be solved on the short 5 minute drive home. The next day the car displayed the same “System Off to Save Battery” message on the middle navigation screen and “ Charging System Service Soon” message on the front dashboard screen. While driving the entire front dashboard electrical system turned off right after flashing multiple messages “front camera & pre collision assist not available”, no headlights and power steering went out, This happens randomly but happens every single time the car is driven. It is no longer safe to drive at night with no lights and no way to see any displays. Ford has been contacted with no response and service center will not see it.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The electrical system seemed to be experiencing temporary failure at stop lights. It initially seemed to be associated with the auto start/stop feature. However, one day the system would turn on (dash, radio, and air) however the engine would not turn over. The 3rd main incident was after purchasing a new battery (one week after doing so, to be exact) and the car wouldn't even open with a key fob. Everything was dead and the system said it only had a 20% charge left after being jumped and driven. My safety was at risk as I have a long commute and had the first battery incident happen nearly 1.5 hours from my home. My safety was also at risk for each of the three times that my car stalled at red lights, not knowing why or how to retart my car during heavily trafficked times. When stating my issues to the dealership (I've been having the stalling at lights issue for 5 months) they brushed the facts aside. When telling them my battery was dead after it being a week old, they said it was probably installed wrong (even though battery was replaced at reputable establishment and not personally installed) The issues started around August or September. I had called the dealership (as I've had all work done at the dealership I purchased the vehicle from other than the replacement battery). The engine light was on the time I was stranded at work (when I was able to get the radio on, but not able to get the engine to turn over). Shortly before the complete power failure, I had a "charging system error" light flash on and disappear. All of these issues were brought to the attention of the dealership in a timely manner. I had assumed they were related to the last recall that was in July, but I was given generic and un-sympathetic or relevant answers and was told I'd just have to keep paying diagnostic fees each time there was an issue and for each separate issue, even thought they all seemed centered around electrical/power issues.
