like NHTSA ID number 11490060 the headlights on my 2022 Bronco will randomly come on and go off when the vehicle is parked. When checking the position of the headlight switch it is not at any illuminated position (un-commanded). This problem has caused the vehicle battery to drain charge. The low battery shuts down the auto stop/start feature. The dealer service department is unaware of the headlight problem. They replaced the battery under the 3 year warranty. All Ford and the service departments have to do is Google "2022 Ford Bronco headlight problem". This is an ongoing problem.

Potential Consequences:
Not exactly sure how it started to happen. Meaning there was a powertrain malfunction so my Ford computer tells me, which caused the vehicle to not restart and in addition to it not restarting, the vehicle also didn't have brakes, so it simply rolled backwards without any control until I hit a tree to stop me. On the way down, I also hit the bumper and damaged it and also hit the driver's side mirror on a rock on the way down.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Driving down the road on 10/31/23, all of a sudden the entire vehicle started to shake, then the check engine light came on, then the vehicle started shaking even worse- losing power and sputtering. Pulled over and had it towed to dealer- Buckhannon WV- they checked the compression and found nothing. I am still waiting for someone to look at the vehicle's engine to determine the issue- I have not even owned this Bronco for 3 months when this happened. It only has 24000 miles on it. It left me stranded along the highway- my friend had to come and pick me up. I currently have no vehicle to get back and forth to work. Its sad that you pay such for a vehicle so you don't have to worry about getting back and forth and now it looks like I will be waiting for months- no Bronco and no one seems to be concerned.

Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
Ford is experiencing a problem under normal driving conditions on multi year Broncos (21' to current) that have very limited miles - with regards to the front pinion seal leaking badly (noticed during a routine oil change) and it appears to be IMHO a design flaw that not only impacts the seal but also the front differential, internal parts and possibly the axle. Any disruption to the drive train has the potential beyond just rendering the vehicle inoperable,..while driving in 2 or 4WD conditions, the impacts could be widespread. IMHO, Ford needs to look at the design and redesign and test. This has also happened multiple times on the same vehicle (from Bronco6G forum reports). In addition to the recall - Ford should immediately publish a TSB on this as wel
