Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The car went completely dead when I was stopped at a red light. There was no power and I couldn’t put it into park. There was no indicator light nor warning that there was a problem with the battery. This put me into great risk of being hit by another car as traffic started to worsen and cars were trying to go around me. Police came and got me out of the car and because they could not get the car into gear they called and had it towed. I incurred the cost of the tow as well as the cost of the battery and the labor to install it. I tried to get reimbursed from the dealership but they said they couldn’t help me abc suggested instead that I don’t use the auto stop/start because it was draining the battery which caused it to not have enough power to restart at the red light. This was a very frightening experience as it was in another city other than my own and it was just on the other side of a bridge during traffic hour.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Like the other people state. Rear brakes make a moaning noise when backing up. First thing in the morning when trying to back the vehicle out of the garage. I put it in reverse, and it holds like the brakes are sticking. You have to hit the throttle to make the care move and you hear a pop noise like the brakes released. My garage is not on a incline or any kind of slope. We took the car to the dealer and they stated Ford knows about it but there is no fix. You need new brakes and rotors that cost over $800. If Ford knows about it why do I have to pay when they know it's a problem?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
One day after trying to remote start the vehicle it didn’t remote start. It was found the vehicle was not in park. This triggered the wrench warning light. Upon investigation by the dealer it was found the PRNDL was not responding. The PRNDL should put the car in park if the driver doesn’t and this time that didn’t happen. Seems like safety issue like the death that happened on a Chrysler vehicle because the car was not in park. My car had 32,000 miles and was only 3.5 years old. Seems this is a common problem when you search it on line.

Defect Description:
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I was unaware of any previous recalls before I purchased my Bronco Sport used. There is an active recall that has no remedy for the battery. I am actively having issues with my fuel system. It was inspected more than once. Diagnostics returned zero issues 3 times and no warning lights. I insisted further inspection this time which revealed bad purge valve, charcoal canister full of fuel, coolant leak resulting in water pump replacement needed. No warning lights. No codes, active or stored. Due to the absence of codes, they will not replace my fuel injectors per customer satisfaction program 22N18. Was not ever informed that recalls 22S73, 22S21, and 21C31 were either inspected or completed on my vehicle as it was not ever disclosed to me and the Ford website only state "scheduled maintenance" was performed. I still cannot obtain documentation of those previous service records so that I may be informed on what could have led to the current issues I am having with this vehicle. I have 3 kids I drive around and do not feel safe putting them in it anymore due to official documents issued by Ford that state my car could either lose power in the middle of driving it, or catch on fire due to a cracked fuel injector.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
Regarding the current recall for my 2021 Bronco Sport. How can Ford say this is still safe to drive if the battery can cut off at any given moment, leaving you stranded on a highway, or anywhere. I expect better from Ford. They should be letting those affected rent a car until the parts are available. This is a safety issue and extremely dangerous. This same thing happened with my third battery (yes, I am on my third battery in 3 1/2 years). I was left stranded, no hazards, no lights, no nothing, windows didn't work, door locks didn't work, it was dark out, and I was alone. My windows were down and I had valuables in the car so I couldn't leave the car. Very dangerous. Yes, I called for help, but it was scary and unsafe. Thank you.

Potential Consequences:
On 12/18/24 while driving the Bronco Sport, the transmission became very "herky-jerky" while driving on local roads. I was able to get to a safe space when the transmission gave out completely. The vehicle, which was ordered new and purchased in late October of 2021 had 64000 miles on it at the time of this incident. Once it was towed to the dealership they confirmed the transmission was in need of approximately $12K worth of repairs and that there was also a water pump issue that needed addressed.
