Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
2 days after purchase while driving the vehicle I recieved a check engine light and a warning that there was a failure of the turbo wastegate. This caused my car to not allow acceleration while driving on the freeway and impeded my ability to manually shift my vehicle into gear. This caused safety issues for myself and others as I was forced to quickly lower my speed on the freeway to avoid causing unrepairable damage to my engine and to be able to shift my vehicle back into gear. My dealer confirmed that the turbo waste gate was faulty and required replacement. I have heard this is a common part failure on this vehicle. Prior to the warning light, my car regularly was difficult to shift and often would not go into gear when shifting. I had to decrease speed often to get my vehicle to shift.

Potential Consequences:
my vehicle lost power on the GW bridge in NYC. It has less than 1000 miles and the power, driving at 60 mph just died. To add insult to injury Ford (24hr roadside assistance told me that there were no tow truck available at this time). When my car was finally towed, vis a vie a 3rd party, to the nearest dealership, I was told that because I didnt buy my car there, there was nothing I could do but wait a "few weeks". Ford 24 hr road side assistance really left me out to dry. I wish and am looking for ways to sue them. Luckily, my responsible dealer at Lester Glenn Ford on Rt 35 was able to assist and is making every accommodation to help. Thank goodness for them and their restless souls for helping with this. I literally have less than 1000 miles on the Badlands 2.7 V6, and when this happened, I didnt know what to do. Disappointing. But Lester Glenn is so far amazing at the response.

Potential Consequences:
During normal driving conditions, vehicle went into low power mode while on the highway but was able to navigate to side of road and then into parking lot. Numerous vehicle alerts came up on monitor including powertrain malfunction/ reduce power. Dealership mechanic put a camera into engine and can see metal pieces loose in engine cavity. Still waiting for dealership to tear down engine and officially diagnosis issue but it certainly looks similar to other issues now in the news (and on NHTSA website) with this 2.7L ecoboost engine. Dealership is taking an extraordinarily long time to give me an official answer as to what the metal is from, but the photos I saw look to be similar to the valve pieces (can see threads) others have noted on the 2021 issues.

I drove until I got to a redlight, while smelling something burning and shifted to Park and presssed Start/stop button. MY car never started again. THis is with less than 500 miles. Several near by citizens came to my rescue as I was 3 lanes from the roadside gastation. Cars were whizzing by , honking, yelling. THese gentlemen risked there lives, stopping traffic. put my car in neutral while we all pushed it to a safe location. It was towed to dealership, where they replaced my starter. 2 days later I picked up my bronco and the very next morning, the EXACT same thing happened on the exam same road on my way to work. Car was towed again and now I've been told there's an indefinite back order on the parts .

Defect Description:
SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
When set in flat towing mode the Bronco’s electronic brake boost (EBB) shuts off after 45 minutes or less. Once the EBB shuts off the Bronco’s brakes, which are connected to the motorhome’s brakes via an auxiliary brake system, no longer work properly and will not slow the Bronco. This failure then requires the motorhome’s brakes to stop both the Bronco and the motorhome and creates a serious safety issue because: 1) Stopping distance increases dramatically. 2) The motorhome’s brakes could fade, while descending grades, leading to total braking failure. Nearly all states require towed units in excess of 3,000# to have brakes but once the EBB shuts off the Bronco is in violation of these laws.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I purchased this vehicle from Portsmouth Ford in Portsmouth NH on January 27, 2022. I brought the vehicle into AutoFair Ford (Manchester, NH) on March 16, 2022 as there was a rattling in the engine (at approximately 1519 Miles). I have not seen the vehicle since. The vehicle has been inspected by the mechanics at AutoFair Ford. They attempted a repair job but the sound was still present. Apparently the engine needs to be either redone or redesigned and Ford is not really giving any good answers as to even when this may be completed. The vehicle has been sitting in the dealer lot now for 50 Days and counting. I might get it back but very concerned as to what else could be wrong with this car as it has been sitting there for so long and could easily be another 5-6 weeks before this might get repaired. very concerned for what could go wrong during this incident.
