SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Like all the other complaints my 2021 Bronco Sport (Badlands) makes the worst LOUD noise when backing up and braking. It is not a little noise, it is a "wake up the neighbors" noise and it is hard not to flinch every time we get in the car and it sets the tone. Then we have to explain to everyone. That noise wouldn't happen if something wasn't very wrong with the car!!! I am shocked to see so many complaints and nothing is being done to protect drivers. This is not a cheap vehicle and I have owned Expeditions, an Edge, and F150's. Ford was a favorite until now. This happens every time not once in a while.

Defect Description:

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

I was on my way to work and as I approached a 4-way intersection, the auto-stop feature on the vehicle shut the engine off. The vehicle's instrument panel started blinking then went completely black. The vehicle became completely disabled... the hazard lights were only functioning intermittently. I tried to re-start the vehicle without success and was not able to shift to neutral. The vehicle was in the middle of the road, so I called a tow to carry it to the dealership. The dealership was able to replicate the issue and blamed it on a 'dead-cell' battery. The dealership even said that the vehicle did the same thing to them once their booster pack was removed, so a simple jump from another vehicle would not have temporarily solved the issue. Before the incident, the vehicle gave absolutely NO warning or indication that the battery levels were low. I cannot believe that with all of the modern vehicle technology available, Ford did not develop a 'low-battery' warning light for their vehicles. I expect Ford to pay for every tow needed in the future due to a dead battery that completely disables the vehicle in the middle of the street.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

While driving today, this car abruptly stopped in the middle of the road. it would not restart and it was puttering over and over and popping for no reason it was resulted in me being stranded in the middle of a busy arterial for three hours. I called roadside assistance to jumpstart the vehicle and within three minutes it did the same thing is shut down at the corner. I was able to get into a parking lot and assess the issue and I actually had them jumpstart once again. I sat for 15 minutes and drove to an auto shop. They stated that there was no issue with the starter battery or alternator. However, there was a PCM code that popped up, which was related to the computer system of the vehicle. This was a very scary occurrence and I cannot believe that Car just randomly stops in the middle of the road while driving. My brother who owns his car drives over the highway every other day between two cities and I cannot imagine what will happen if they shut down on the highway.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The contact owns a 2021 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to slow the vehicle, the vehicle failed to slow as intended. The contact also stated that the brake pedal was firm, requiring more distance than usual for the vehicle to come to a complete stop. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that the front and rear brake pads had abnormal wear, causing damage to the rear rotors. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V922000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 60,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

My 2021 Bronco failed our family on Friday. The Bronco failed to start upon pressing the start and brake pedal. The main console panel started flashing then cycling through all kinds of failure alerts. There was a series loud noises from the engine, the headlights flashed off and on for over 3 minutes and then the engine started smoking. The doors would not open and we were stuck inside while the engine was smoking. That smoke came through the air vents as well. Finally, I was able to get my door open though couldn’t open my son’s rear passenger side door from the outside. He was stuck inside for what seemed like forever. He was able to open it finally and I carried him inside. My son’s legs are paralyzed and he does not walk. My main concern was getting him to a safe place as I was scared to death that the engine was going to explode in that moment. The engine smoke started to ease up however the electrical burning smell was overwhelming. This all took place in my garage. The trunk would not unlock and my key fob would not engage with the vehicle at all during this time. The trunk hatch lock finally disengaged and I was finally able to get his wheelchair out. Everything failed. I could not get the Bronco into neutral at any point. The Bronco is currently at my local Ford dealer where I was told I have to wait a week before it can even be looked at. I was told "it's just the battery...." There is NO way my experience was "just the battery." As of 10/10/2023 no one from corporate or the dealer has reached out to me. Once I got to the dealer (Jarret Gordon Ford Davenport), they were so dismissive of me. The service advisor never even asked if my son or myself were OK.

There was a series loud noises from the engine, the headlights flashed off and on for over 3 minutes and then the engine started smoking. The doors would not open and we were stuck inside while the engine was smoking. That smoke came through the air vents as well. Finally, I was able to get my door open though couldn’t open my son’s rear passenger side door from the outside. He was stuck inside for what seemed like forever. He was able to open it finally and I carried him inside. My son’s legs are paralyzed and he does not walk. My main concern was getting him to a safe place as I was scared to death that the engine was going to explode in that moment. The engine smoke started to ease up however the electrical burning smell was overwhelming. This all took place in my garage. The trunk would not unlock and my key fob would not engage with the vehicle at all during this time. The trunk hatch lock finally disengaged and I was finally able to get his wheelchair out. Everything failed. I could not get the Bronco into neutral at any point. The Bronco is currently at my local Ford dealer where I was told I have to wait a week before it can even be looked at. I was told "it's just the battery...." There is NO way my experience was "just the battery." As of 10/10/2023 no one from corporate or the dealer has reached out to me. Once I got to the dealer (Jarret Gordon Ford Davenport), they were so dismissive of me. The service advisor never even asked if my son or myself were OK.

Corrective Action:

My 2021 Bronco failed our family on Friday. The Bronco failed to start upon pressing the start and brake pedal. The main console panel started flashing then cycling through all kinds of failure alerts.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

Bought 2021 bronco sport in Dec 21. Since my engine has stuttered and started to die. The panel starts falling as if it is sitting off. This is not the auto engine shut off while idling at a light issue. Upon starting the engine you can hear a ticking and on every certain revelation the vehicle will sputter and start to cut off. It has died on 2 occasions in my driveway, but not yet on the road. It will stutter and start to die almost always in idle, especially in park, but it will do it and stay losing power mainly while driving low speeds or when not pressing gas pedal. I received recall and was told part was not available and didn't know when it would be available and have never been told part was available, but miraculously my recall order was closed without parts ever being replaced. This is like mist of the 8 recalls on this vehicle. 6 recalls where made before the vehicle came off of the train car. 6 recalls were still active the night I drove off the lot AFTER SERVICE WAS CLOSED. My first service was flat spots in my tires from sitting in a train car in Florida heat for 3 months, no parts were replaced, feb and March of last year the recall was closed before my car was in the shop... My dealership is clearing recalls and not reels my vehicle. They are taking advantage of my mental disabilities.
