Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
August 2024 had multiple instances where the Bronco Sport would stall out while driving, had to maneuver to the side of the road, turn the vehicle completely off, and try multiple times to restart the vehicle. Jack Demmer Ford sent a technician to our house to flash the Powertrain Control Module and Body Control Module. We saw the Part 573 Safety Recall Report 24V-267, where these modules were undercharging the battery, causing the stalling of the vehicle. The vehicle stalled out two more times after the update and has continued to run thereafter. On [XXX], Bronco Sport was struck from behind on the driver's side rear tire, car came to rest against the back axle. There was damage to the axle, rear quarter panel, tail light, and aligned rear tailgate. The vehicle battery was disconnected 12-15 times during the work, we would get messages on the app that "Remote features disabled to preserve battery" as they worked on the vehicle. The vehicle was finally ready on [XXX], for pickup. Drove the car approximately 22 miles and parked in the garage. The following morning we went to start the Bronco and there was a loud bang when we pushed the start button, and all electrical features were dead. We had to vacate the vehicle, all the power features were dead, unload, and take another vehicle for travel. When we returned on [XXX], I popped open the hood and discovered battery damage. Battery acid leaked out into a 5-foot puddle on the garage floor, power steering reservoir drained also. [XXX] had Jack Demmer Ford tow the vehicle back to their facility, they charged for inspection and denied any responsibility for battery failure. Had to have the battery replaced so they could fix the rear damage that was not done correctly the first time. This caused another claim to be filed with insurance. Now Ford is recalling Bronco's due to battery concerns. Continuous undercharging of lead battery causes sulfation, shortening battery life.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Battery failed exactly as described in Ford recall 25S02 NHTSA# 25V019. On 11/1/24 drove vehicle 125 miles home on a return trip and parked car in garage. Morning of 11/2/24, vehicle would not start, battery is dead. Tried to charge battery with external charger, would not take a charge. Called dealer, scheduled appointment for 11/4/24. Morning of 11/4/24, started vehicle with a jump box, took vehicle to dealer. Vehicle would not start when shut off at Dealer. Lucky have made it there, I had shut off the auto restart vie dash button, if I had not shut it off, I would have been stranded at my first traffic stop. Dealer determined it was a failed battery, replaced it at a cost of $510 as vehicle was 2 weeks out of warranty. I reluctantly paid the $510. I was lucky that the vehicle did not start running on that (11/1/25) 125 mile drive, the battery was almost dead at the end of the trip, and of course, it would have stalled when battery got too low. There were in-dash warning messages about low battery near the end of the trip. Ford and the dealership won't reimburse me for the $510. They state that they have to test the battery under the recall, even though that original battery was disposed of by the dealership. Dealership wants to test the 2 month old replacement battery under the recall before they can do anything about a refund. That makes no sense, the replacement almost certainly will test ok.

Potential Consequences:
In August of 2024, my vehicle shut down after sitting at a red light. The vehicle would not turn back on nor could I put it in neutral to move it out of the way of traffic. It was explained to me that the battery was bad and had to be replaced when I took it in for service the next day. A recall was placed on my vehicle yesterday related to battery issues and I suspect my prior battery had the same issue as referenced in the recall. My car at the time was under 40,000 miles.
Corrective Action:
In August of 2024, my vehicle shut down after sitting at a red light. The vehicle would not turn back on nor could I put it in neutral to move it out of the way of traffic. It was explained to me that the battery was bad and had to be replaced when I took it in for service the next day. A recall was placed on my vehicle yesterday related to battery issues and I suspect my prior battery had the same issue as referenced in the recall. My car at the time was under 40,000 miles.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
This has been an ongoing issue since I purchased the vehicle in July 2024. It has become so bad that the vehicle is nearly un-driveable. FORD states it is a non-issue, non safety related and there is no know fix at this time. FORD has been buying vehicles back due to this "secret recall" but after numerous calls and visits to both dealers and the Ford customer care line, nothing is being done. And while FORD might state it is an "inconvenience", when driving on the highway and a cylinder just randomly shuts down, the vehicle loses power and backfires and vibrates it is a safety concern. I have been EXTREMELY patience and professional in all my dealings with FORD on this matter, yet they refuse to offer me any help or come to a resolution in my case.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The car has now on three separate occasions lost power while driving. As I slow down coming to stop or reducing speed car will completely lose power and then struggle to restart. Both occasions were on busy roads. Additionally, when you put fuel in the car it does not turn on right away it smells like fuel is burning and fumes enter into the cabin. When you push start after fueling it struggles to turn car on to drive. There is full accessory power but no power to drive the car even when giving it gas. It requires multiple attempts at starting the vehicle and it will tremble and shake once it starts running and stutters as if about to shut off even when you start driving it. Today it powered down again while driving and we avoided and accident but it is becoming dangerous to drive the vehicle due to its unpredictable shutting down.

A few months later the turbo failed again out of warranty but this time cracked the head causing damages I can not afford!! The vehicle is sitting at the dealership not fixed!! I want out of this lemon!!! I tried getting them to buy it back when I took it to the shop three different times due to break issues they could not fix but a Ford representative told me it "had too many miles" I work out of this vehicle and have not been able to work now for three months!! Note...after the first TURBO was replaced I told the dealership the vehicle was loosing antifreeze but all they did was pressure check the radiator. A few months later engine failure due to turbo failure!!
