VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
The windshield wipers stop after a while. This occurs regardless of whether the switch is set to rain-sensing or the two constant speeds. This occurred during a heavy rain storm and my visibility essentially went to zero. This happened at all vehicle speeds. There were no warning lights associated with the occurrence. On the bronco6g.com forums there are many, many, reports of this very dangerous situation. I have video evidence of what happened.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
Potential Consequences:
On 2/08/2023, I came out of my garage and backed my bronco to our fence gate to feed our horse. I left the vehicle running with the heat on. The outside air was 20-40 degrees and raining. When I came back to the vehicle there was a crack from the outer edge of the windshield approximately six or more inches across. From the driver's side towards the passenger side. I had driven the bronco the day before and there was no damage or crack. When the crack occurred, no one was in the vehicle. When I brought the bronco back to the house, I wiped the rain away for a picture and found a very tiny chip in the crack. I'm not sure if a tiny rock did the damage or if that was from the windshield cracking. The chip is smaller than a pinhead and less than a millimeter deep.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
When operating the vehicle in the rain, the wipers will start to slow down between 30-60 seconds after turning them on. In a driving rain this becomes a safety concern as I have to turn the wipers off then back on. If the wipers are set to always on rather than intermittent, they should not behave like this. This problem has been reported by numerous owners on a Bronco fan site on the Internet affecting all model years. The owners manual claims this is a feature to prevent damage to the motor, but the wipers should never stop on their own while driving in the rain or snow.

Potential Consequences:
Flat Towing 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor with 3.0 V6 engine. After connecting my Bronco to the motorhome and putting it in the tow mode the following will occur. About 45 mins after turning the ignition off and closing the doors the EBB (Electronic Brake Boost) in the Bronco shuts down leaving the Bronco without any brake boost and leaves the supplemental brake system ineffective. When first connecting the Bronco to the motorhome the brake boost is active and the supplemental brake system must be set to match, or it will lock up the brakes on the Bronco when you stop. After the boost shuts down the supplemental brake system cannot apply enough force to the Bronco brakes to assist in stopping and all at once it takes a much greater distance to stop the motorhome than it did when the boost was working.

Wipers slow to a very delayed intermittent speed after around 40 seconds. This problem doesn’t just happen once in a while, it happens every time I use them.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
The windshield wipers have some sort of system that will automatically slow or increase their speed from what I can tell but the system is not working as intended or if working right is downright unsafe. This morning I had heavy rain in my area and moved the setting to the highest and fastest it could go, after about 20-30 seconds it would automatically slow itself down to where it would only wipe every 3 seconds or so which during the heavy rain was not enough and I could not see. To "reset" the automatic system I would have to cycle the intensity modes on the wipers up and down every 30 seconds or so to keep my blades moving fast enough to repel the water off the windows. From reading other forum posts a lot of people are having this issue and FORD is blowing it off to customers who take them in for repair or to be looked at for this issue. This needs to fixed and mandated from you all to fix at this point before someone gets seriously injured from this issue.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. BRAKE PEDAL GOT HARD WHEN DEPRESSING. BRAKE PEDAL THEN WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WENT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE PART NEEDED WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR A COUPLE MONTHS AND WAS TOLD NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WAS DISABLED FROM 08/18/2022 TILL 11/11/2022, APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS FINALLY REPAIRED ON 11/11/2022 AND RELEASED BACK TO ME. AS OF THIS DATE 02/16/2022 FORD HAS DONE NOTHING TO COMPENSATE ME FOR 3 MONTHS OF LOST VEHICLE USAGE AND 3 MONTH WARRANTY EXTENSION. A SURROGATE WAS APPOINTED BY FORD AND SHE DID NOTHING TO GET ME ANY COMPENSATION FROM FORD OR EXTENDING MY WARRANTY. THE SURROGATE REFUSES TO ANSWER EMAILS OR PHONE CALLS FROM ME IN REGARD TO THE VEHICLE.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
While driving!! My brake pedal felt rock hard , I HAD NO BRAKES !! The car kept cruising , luckily for us! Vermont is very rural and roads was wide open with no traffic, I had some time to keep stomping on the brakes till I was able to regain braking power, this could have killed us!! If I needed to slow down I would not have been!! I had a 3 year on in the back and my pregnant girlfriend in the passenger, I almost shit my pants when I realized the brake pedal was unresponsive! I had no service !! We had to drive the car with intermittent braking just so that I can’t get some sell service!! I contacted a fire dealer that was 40 minutes from my location to give them a heads up, I was advised to call ford customer relations, my case number is CAS-41297357-H8T7R8 They towed the bronco on Monday to bring it to that dealer while I’m here in Vermont for about a week , I have no vehicle, ford offered 40/day in reimbursement if I get a rental, unfortunately this isn’t 2013 where I can actually find a car rental for that price , cheapest was 90 per day. I posted this on Facebook and was so surprised that this has happened to other bronco owners !!

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
While driving in a hard rain/snow mix in central Wisconsin on February 14th 2023, I had to set my wipers to high in order to maintain safe visual clarity of my surroundings. For unknown reasons, my wipers would progressively slow to a standstill. The only way to maintain wiper function was to keep one hand on the wiper control and manually turn it from one function to the next to wake the system up and make it work again. After about a minute of working, it would slow and stall again. This felt very dangerous and clearly WILL cause many accidents if left unaddressed.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
As a concerned consumer, I was informed by the dealership that the new Bronco comes with "smart wipers" that automatically switch to a slow intermittent feature after running on constant Medium or High speed for around 45 seconds to a minute. However, during a heavy rain on the morning of 2/14/23, my wipers stopped on me, putting me in a dangerous situation where I almost ran off the road due to poor visibility. This is a major safety issue that needs to be addressed urgently. After researching, I discovered that this problem is widespread among Bronco owners and there are no warning lights to alert drivers of the issue. The dealership also failed to inform me of this problem when I purchased the vehicle just 5 days ago. As a loyal Ford customer, I am disappointed that this is the only Ford vehicle I have owned that has this issue. I strongly urge the company to recall and replace the "smart motor" wiper system with a standard motor to prevent further safety hazards.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
During heavy rain or snow fall I turn my wipers to full power mode, but the Ford Bronco will automatically sometimes slow down and stop completely the wipers during the middle of the storm. The first time this happened I almost crashed because I suddenly could not see out of my windshield because the wipers were too slow (or completely stopped). This is so dangerous and I was only driving 30mph. This now happens consistently, and I have to turn the wipers on/off to clear rain/snow off my windshield to allow me to drive. It is distracting to turn wipers on/off consistently while driving during heavy storms. This urgently needs an immediate recall/fix.
