general problems of the 2022 Ford Bronco

When braking(going down hill) the Bronco comes to a complete stop and the brakes feel good. But a split second after the full stop, the truck starts to creep forward for about a foot and then you hear a "click noise" and the truck abruptly stops. This is a very scary feeling wondering if your gonna roll into cross traffic. This happens every morning(once every day) and the rest of the day the brakes feel good. This issue has been happening for the last 7 days. I made an appointment with Ford dealer to look at it. Service writer tried looking up any recalls or complaints on this issue and couldn't find anything? on the Broncog6 forum online, there apparently are other Bronco owners complaining about the same issue. One owner (online) stated that the dealer reprogrammed the abs system and his truck hasn't repeated the creep anymore. There haven't been any brake, abs or any warning lamps at all when this happens. This really needs to be resolved before someone get injured.

I own a 2022 Ford Bronco. My vehicle has an electronic brake booster failure that causes multiple warning messages, brake system faults, and loss or reduction of brake assist. When this happens, the vehicle also prevents the 4-wheel drive system from engaging or switching modes. This is especially dangerous during winter conditions. When driving in snow or slippery conditions, I am unable to engage 4wd when it is needed most, while also experiencing brake system warnings. The vehicle becomes difficult to control and does not feel safe to drive. The dealership confirmed this is a known issue affecting multiple Ford Broncos and that the electronic brake booster part is currently back-ordered and unavailable. I was told many vehicles are affected, yet there is no recall for the 2022 model year, even though newer model years have a recall for the same component. This issue creates a serious safety risk due to impaired braking performance and inability to use 4-wheel drive in hazardous conditions. The vehicle had to be parked due to safety concerns. And the he issue happens intermittently, making it unpredictable.

I am writing to formally report a safety-related malfunction involving the parking brake system in my vehicle. The issue poses a significant safety hazard while driving and warrants investigation for potential design or manufacturing defects. During normal operation, the parking brake actuator malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to pull to one side and creating an unsafe driving condition. When I took the car to an authorized dealership, I was informed that the issue was due to a faulty parking brake switch. The switch was replaced; however, the malfunction persisted. Further inspection revealed that the parking brake motor and actuator needed replacement. Even after these repairs, while driving, the dashboard repeatedly displayed warnings such •“parking brake engaged,” •“please release parking brake,” and •“parking brake system overheated. ” when attempting to release the brake, the system would only disengage after manually pressing the release button, rather than automatically disengaging when the vehicle began to move — as it should. This malfunction not only causes confusion but also increases the risk of loss of vehicle control or brake system failure during operation. Given the repeated failures and persistent warnings, I believe this issue represents a potential safety defect that should be reviewed by your agency to determine if other vehicles are affected. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and to ensuring this issue is properly addressed to prevent future incidents.

When my brakes are cold and I stop on a hill. . . The brakes do not hold and the car moves about a foot forward. Then something kicks in and it jerks the car to a stop (all the while my foot is completely pressed down on the brake. No warning lamps, no lights, nothing. . . Just rolls when brake is completely applied. It only does this when the brakes are cold. After they warm up it doesn't do it anymore. The dealer has looked at it and couldn't replicate (because the brakes weren't cold) and told me to bring it back if it happens again. It happens every morning but by the time the dealer gets it it doesn't do it anymore. A plethora of Bronco owners are experiencing this same thing. Our thread on [xxx] is full of people experiencing the same thing. Some guy in canada said he had every brake part replaced and it still happened. Then they did some sort of software update and he hasn't experienced it since. Why is this update not available to all? this is a serious hazard! someone is going to get hurt! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

After owning the car for 3 years and two weeks my check brake system light went on. I took my car to the dealer and was told that I needed a new brake vacuum line. They replaced it with a different part than what was originally installed, leading me to believe that there is something wrong with the original part. And there is no recall for the original part. And because I was out of the warranty period, I had to pay for the $230 part plus $525 of labor. Total bill was $875 for a car just out of warranty.

This is about brake system and vacuum line linked Bronco. This is highly related to my own safety as when I go uphill or highway, this 'brake failure system' always is on and sometimes you are very hard to press a brake pedal as it's very stiff and not easy to press using your foot. But the thing is it comes and goes and sometimes it stopped and coming back. I today asked for a repair at dealership and they charge me 650 dollars as there's no official recall. Although it happened before my warranty's up and there's so many people suffering this identical issue but Ford didn't do anything and charge money to customers.

I pulled up to a parking spot and when I tried to brake to place my car into park my brakes would not engage and my vehicle kept moving forward. I had to slam my car into park to prevent from slamming into a barrier. My rear camera goes in and out of a blank screen when “backing up” or reversing.

At 2. 5 years old and 46k miles the vaccum brake booster assembly has gone out. This was on issue with the Bronco sport and recalled, but not yet on the full size Bronco. Ssm 50472 - 2021-2022 Bronco - 2. 3l - illuminated brake warning lamp and/or brake system warning message – dtc p050f set in the abs module and firm brake pedal.

Break pedal feels very mushy and no breaking effect , very dangerous on highway speed for my car and cars behind me. I went to different dealers for a fix ,they all says it is normal, but it is sure not normal, I had multiple close calls. Break feel is inconsistent everyday. When I apply the break lots of deadline and no breaking effect for first few inches also pedal sinking to floor, Ford and dealership are ignoring this serious safety concern. Kindly do the needful,thank you.

While on interstate 485 charlotte nc, traveling with adaptive cruise control on at 73mph the brake light came in with a message to check brake system. I proceeded to apply the brake but was hard and unable to slow down. On my second attempt it worked then became normal. The Bronco is at the dealer now for repair. And they found a faulty vacuum hose. Waiting for new hose to arrive at dealer.

Nearly every time I operate my vehicle I get a brake warning pop up on my instrument cluster. It definately happens every time cruise control is activated.

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.

Upon driving the vehicle in the intended fashion for a Ford Bronco raptor, the vehicle has an issue where when advanced track is set as disabled, and the vehicle is shifted in and out of park, the vehicle will then turn advanced track back on while still showing it as off on the dashboard. This makes it so when you're driving it in off-road situations, the system will come in making the vehicle potentially slide or stop unexpectedly in terrain, putting it into unsafe conditions. The problem can be reproduced easily, but the dealer and independent service centers refuse to test the vehicle in the state.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco. The contact stated that with the cruise control activated, the brake pedal failed to respond as needed with the "check brake system" message displayed on the instrument panel. The contact was forced to disengage the cruise control or depress the brake pedal to the floorboard. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.

1st issue: antilock brake failure brand new 2022 Bronco purchased mid Dec with around 2000 miles in February the brakes failed to stop with the pedal to the floor at traffic light and finally all 4 wheels locked up skidding into traffic. Luckily no accident. Repaired took 3 weeks to get the part. 2nd issue: may 1st powertrain malfunction at 3000 miles pulled up to a stop sign the engine shut off. Finally after 30 minutes the engine started back. Drove it straight to Ford service dept. Telling me today the part they need is on indefinite backorder. Prior to the failure no lights came on, but the Ford pass app showed them. Powertrain malfunction, antilock fault, hill assist warning, and pre collision assist not available. Dealership thought is an app issue and couldn’t repair unless the lights came on. In both cases the warning lights came on after the fact.

2022 Ford Bronco has by default an auto engine shut off when coming to a stop and set of conditions are met. The event occurred to a manual transmission 2022 Ford Bronco. ~4/5/23, driver was driving up the canyon at an incline when encountering stop and go traffic. After stopping on the incline, the engine shut off per normal operation after shifting to neutral with the brake pedal firmly pushed. About 1-2 seconds after engine shutoff, while driver has brake firmly pushed, the car begins to roll back, with an apparent loss in brake power. Only after driver clutched in to first gear and stalled the vehicle did vehicle arrest in its rearward motion, narrowly avoiding backing into the car that is stopped behind. From an outward observation the auto start/stop is not suited for standard manual transmission operation when stopped on an incline. The roll back apparently is due to loss of brake power/boost when the auto-start stop function stops the engine.

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 !!.

During flat towing the ebb shuts down making the auxiliary brake ineffective, this a safety concern. Ford is aware of the situation, but has failed to address this safety issue.

Flat towing 2022 Ford Bronco with 2. 7 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 suddenly, without notice, it takes a much greater distance to stop the motorhome than it did when the boost was working. Ford came up with a temporary work around so the ebb never comes on. This involves pulling fuses but you. Have to wait for 5 minutes after you close the doors for the vehicle to go enter sleep mode. To take the Bronco out of flat tow mode you must again wait 5 minutes after opening the hood and closing the doors before re-installing the fuses. When flat towing behind with a motorhome it is impossible to backup with the tow vehicle attached. Having to wait 5 minutes before being able to disconnect the tow vehicle is very dangerous in many situations.

This vehicle is supposed to be flat tow able. If I go to flat tow this car it will lock up the wheels during the first hour or so while towing behind my motor home using a supplemental braking system. I find out later from a forum online that I need to remove some fuses to tow it properly. I hear Ford is working on this issue for a couple years but how many tire lock ups before someone gets hurt?.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco. The contact stated that while reversing and attempting to accelerate, the brakes activated erroneously, and vehicle stopped unintendedly. The contact also stated that at 68 degrees fahrenheit or under, the vehicle failed to properly shift gear as intended. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed; however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to call NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

Brake pedal kicks back on our foot when stopped brakes dont work good lost brake fluid must pump brakes to come to a stop or slow down on going for a year now dealer drove for only nine miles they said its ok still have the problem - engine has lost power when hot - when it is cold on start up the motor runs rough and lacks power dealer has not looked at the engine problem yet -turn signals will turn when turning right when it is canceled it will turn the left turn signal on same thing going to the left it turn the right on on -all problems are still on going as of 10-4-2023.

Randomly the following takes place while vehicle is in motion at various speeds… hill assist warning followed by (in rapid succession) pre collision assist not available, antilock brake fault then the brakes momentarily give out then come back in non-powered mode which dangerously locks up the wheels when stopping system then resets itself Bronco6g forums have reported similar issues.

Vehicle reported anti-brake fault. Vehicle reported pre-collision fault. Vehicle reported 4 different hill start assist failures. I noticed the pre-collison feature did not work because the breaks never activated when there was a sudden merge into my lane going 65 miles per hour. The car says that the pre-collision feature is enabled but did not respond to a vehicle that came close to causing a wreck.

The 2022 Bronco is listed as being able to be flat towed behind a motorhome and the software allows it to be put into flat tow mode. 49 states require that flat towed vehicles over a certain weight have supplemental braking. When the supplemental brake system is installed in a Bronco with the 2. 7 liter engine it stops working correctly after 45 minutes because the electronic brake booster shuts off. This results in the supplemental braking system not having enough power to activate the brakes and can cause a serious accident because the motorhome cannot stop soon enough. Ford issued TSB 22-2210 to temporarily correct this issue but it simply disables the electronic brake booster (must remove fuses) and again leaves the towed vehicle with insufficient braking. Ford claims they are working a software update due out in September 2022, it is now mid October and no recall has been issued.

Bronco my 2022 owners manual pages 288-289 on SUV shows how to disengage in features menu the background esc controls for yaw in the trailer sway subsystem of esc. When a dangerious highway sway of a trailer occurs, this subsystem will detect yaw and apply brakes. It is reported on f150 that rear brakes will heat up and may fail. Base Bronco, for marketing purposes cannot be factory equipped tow package options, but accessories market tow hitch and electric harness. Big ben and others model may or may not have option. Cas38178902 was open and selling dealer has been advised. If brake start to heat up and seaze pads to rotors the base Bronco has no method to disable the trailer sway controls since the map factory was instructed not to enable the trailer tow control. Jackknifing may occur on base Bronco with afterfactory tow equipment.

Windows don’t drop down when opening the door, and they don’t rise when closing the door as they used to do it. Brake light came on and brakes look good no one is taking responsibility.

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.

I purchased this vehicle to flat tow behind my motorhome. Ford states that the full size Broncos are flat tow capable, but unfortunately the braking system times out due to the electronic brake boost being on a timer. I have installed a supplemental braking unit to activate the brakes on the Bronco when being towed behind my motorhome. The braking system inoperative after the 45 minutes that the electronic brake booster times out. This is a huge safety concern due to the weight of the Bronco not slowing down as intended while being flat towed. This needs to be addressed with Ford motor company. I do know that I am not the only person who has experienced this issue and more people will continue to have this issue until a fix is implemented.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco. The contact stated that the brakes failed intermittently. The contact stated that the brake power booster failed to operate as needed. The brake pedal required an excessive amount of pressure to stop the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who stated that the brake vacuum hose assembly needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the failure was related to TSB 50472. The vehicle had not been repaired due to the part being on back order. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 129,000.

Recreational flat towing 2022 Ford Bronco with 2. 7l v6 engine. After connecting my Bronco to the motorhome and using Ford instructions for 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. This will leave the supplemental brake system ineffective. When first connecting the Bronco to the motorhome the brake boost is active and the supplemental brake system is functioning properly. After the boost shuts down the supplemental brake system may not apply enough force to the Bronco brakes to assist in stopping and the distance required to stop the motorhome and connected Bronco is increased. Should an incident occur that causes the brono to become disconnected from the motorhome while under tow the automatic braking function of the supplemental braking system may experience the same issue and fail to safely stop the Bronco.

This vehicle is advertised as flat tow capable the 2. 7 is equipped with electronic brake booster and when hooked up to RV that has a charge line that feeds the Bronco with 13. 5 volts continuously (as needed) the battery management system shuts off the electronic brake booster rendering the secondary brake system inoperable after 15 minutes in tow mode so the vehicle is set up with power assist brakes for the first 15 minutes then shuts down no matter what power supply is given creating the RV to do all the braking with no assist all while in tow mode.
