Soy based wire shielding second time that my Ford Bronco was in the shop for wire fault issues due to critters/animals eating the wires. Ford service agent said he has seen hundreds of vehicles come in with the same issue. This is not a Ford problem it is an automotive industry problem. Please investigate.
Hood latch sensor alarms hood ajar when hood is actually closed and secure. This issues inhibits the use of remotely starting, or unlocking vehicle. This appears to be a possible recall with the make and year of my vehicle but has never been listed as recall.
I took my Bronco into michigan city Ford for recall 25v273 repair. Shortly after this the front camera stopped working. I took it back in and they are saying the camera module is m2dz-19h405-d has gone bad. They are saying this module controls front and rear camera but is not part of the recall. On the internet, there are many examples of the front camera issue after the rear recall repair.
My vehicle has both cracked and leaking rear shocks as well as issues with the rearview camera and infotainment system. I have gone through two Ford dealerships to remedy this issue and was told parts are on back order. I attempted to remedy this issue when I first received notification that parts were available in August 2025. When I drive, I can feel the suspension is not providing support and continued use will cause other issues with the vehicle that may not be covered under warranty or the recall. My vehicle will also trigger the collision avoidance feature when there is physical trigger. This has caused my brakes to lock up in traffic.
Hello, I previously wrote about this problem under id#116588898 however I feel as though it did not explain what happened correctly. As I was backing out of my garage, I stopped my vehicle putting it in park. After putting my vehicle in reverse and looking in my mirrors I didn't see anything behind me. (a blind spot) I was on an angle. My radio was on and as I proceeded in reverse, I hit a car that was in my driveway. There was no damage to my vehicle however there is about $3900 damage to the car behind me where the spare tire crushed the trunk lid and rear left qtr. At no time did I hear any warning lights, the radio did not lower, and warning lights and sounds were not doing the job of what they were supposed to do. As I thought about it, I'm not even sure the camera was on. I hope this explains this a little better than id# 11658898. Sorry for the inconvenience of reporting this twice. If the other can be deleted that would be appreciated.
I am reporting unresolved safety recalls and unreasonable delay in repair for my 2023 Ford Bronco (VIN: [xxx] ). This vehicle currently has two open safety recalls issued by Ford motor company • NHTSA recall 25v721 (issued October 2025) – seat frame defect that may increase injury risk in a crash. There is currently no available remedy, and Ford has notified me that a repair is not expected until April 2027. • NHTSA recall 26v124 (issued March 2026) – apim defect that may overheat and cause the rearview camera to fail while reversing, increasing crash risk. In addition, this vehicle has had prior recalls (25v025 and 25v273) that remained unresolved for extended periods. One of these recalls had no available repair for approximately 10 months. These recalls affect critical safety systems including suspension, rear visibility, and seat safety. The delay for recall 25v721 is expected to exceed 18 months, which I believe is an unreasonable delay for a safety recall repair. Ford has continued issuing new recalls while prior recalls were still unresolved, indicating a pattern of repeated safety defects and delayed remedies. Due to these active recalls, I have been unable to use my vehicle commercially. Rental platforms such as turo prohibit listing vehicles with open safety recalls. This has resulted in financial losses exceeding $80,000. This situation forces consumers to choose between operating a vehicle with known safety defects or suffering significant financial loss due to lack of repair availability. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether Ford is complying with its obligation to provide timely safety recall remedies and whether delays of this length are reasonable.

Vehicle dash getting frozen and engine stalling making unsafe to drive because you don’t know the speed the you are traveling, you have to park, the vehicle and is taking time to get back on and problem keep happening, I have been in Ford dealership and not solution has been made also have file a complaint on Ford cxh02468902 and not response at all not calls or emails they just avoiding look at the issue I’m not the first person with the same issue, this vehicle is unsafe to drive on any highway or roadway I will attach the onformation where Ford is saying the vehicle has issue but they don’t have the fix yet it should be taking out the market from Ford.
The infotainment system, radio, backup camera has been frozen or does not come on startup of car. This means the backup camera has been frozen or does not come on when in reverse which is a safety issue. This put people and objects at risk when I backup. This has been happening about once a month if not more. In the cooler months it happens more. I have video proof of this happening and have provided this proof to a Ford dealer. I have taken in my branco multilabel times to get this checked and they have not been able to reproduce this.
The contact owns a 2023 Ford Bronco. The contact stated while in reverse, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended with the accelerator pedal depressed. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer where it was diagnosed that there were signs that rodents had chewed the engine electrical wiring. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 9,792.
Been having problems with Ford pass took vehicle to dealer a week ago and they say that has to do something with the computer of the car so that's mean is something serious computer control every single sensor engin3 etc. .
Loss of power.
The contact owns a 2023 Ford Bronco. The contact stated that upon backing his vehicle into his garage, he placed the gear shifter into park(p) and shut off the engine. Upon exiting the vehicle and approaching the home, the contact heard a loud crash and saw that the vehicle had backed into the garage door. The contact initially thought the vehicle was not placed into park(p); however, upon entering the vehicle, the contact saw that the vehicle was in the park(p) position. The contact stated that the crash damaged two panels on the garage door. The air bags did not deploy and no one was injured. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and informed them of the failure. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and was referred to the NHTSA hotline. The vehicle had yet to be diagnosed or repaired for the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 22,700.
The vehicle experienced recurring electrical system failures beginning in December 2023. The vehicle intermittently would not start and on several occasions lost power unexpectedly. The vehicle was taken multiple times to an authorized Ford dealership for diagnosis while still under the manufacturer warranty. The dealership repeatedly reported that no issue could be identified despite the recurring electrical malfunction. The vehicle battery was replaced more than once within three years, however the underlying electrical issue persisted. In August 2025 the dealership instructed that the vehicle remain at the service center for extended diagnosis. The vehicle remained at the dealership for more than 40 consecutive days before being returned on October 8, 2025. Because the vehicle intermittently fails to start and has experienced electrical system malfunction, this creates a potential safety risk if the vehicle stalls or loses power while operating in traffic. Additionally, the vehicle currently has two outstanding manufacturer safety recalls that remain unresolved after nearly three years of ownership. This complaint is being submitted because the defect remains unresolved despite multiple repair attempts while the vehicle was under the manufacturer warranty.
Wireless charging pad not working correctly. It is causing my phone to overheat to the point it is uncomfortable to hold in your hand.
1. Component/system that failed/malfunctioned — braking system (electronic parking brake and brake control modules) combined with electrical/communication defect preventing storage of diagnostic trouble codes (dtcs). Vehicle available for inspection upon request. 2. How safety was put at risk — repeated "park brake fault – service now" and "brake system fault" warnings on dash while driving risk sudden loss of parking brake function, reduced braking, or unexpected behavior (e. G. , transmission no-engagement beyond walking pace after cold start), impairing safe stopping/control and endangering driver and others. 3. Problem reproduced/confirmed by dealer — yes — reproduced/confirmed multiple times by authorized Ford dealer (town & country Ford, evansville, in) across five visits (invoices attached): active brake faults visible on dash during service, yet "no codes found," "unable to verify," "np no problem found. " examples: [xxx] (30,113 mi) brake fault while driving; [xxx]intermittent parking brake light, no codes; [xxx] transmission slip and brake fault, no codes. 4. Inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance, or others — inspected only by dealer. Ford cx team contacted (crm [xxx] , July 2025) but no further inspection/resolution. No police or insurance inspections. 5. Warning lamps/messages prior to failure and when first appeared — "park brake error message" and "park brake fault" warnings first documented ~25,722 miles (early visits after [xxx] purchase at 13 miles). No-dtc retention defect prevented earlier alerts/diagnosis. Symptoms escalated (transmission slip, cold no-start die-out, brake faults recurring). 6. Additional notes — out of service >60 cumulative days; loaner restricted to local driving only when provided. Part of indiana lemon law claim (bbb auto line case [xxx]).

The electric parking brake sensor warning appears on the dashboard. It is a warning light that appears and stays on the dashboard. After a few days it will go away. Recently the "red" electric parking brake sensor warning has popped up displaying "parking brake failure, service now" and continues to flash. There is a feeling in the gas pedal of the emergency brake wanting to engage while driving. The issue has been unable to be diagnosed as it is an intermittent malfunction warning light. It is currently with the Ford dealer to find the issue.
Faulty apim (accessory protocol interface module) on 2023 Ford Bronco wildtrak at delivery. The apim allows the sync4 suite to function properly. Dealer inspected, determined apim is faulty.

Since I took delivery of my 2023 Ford Bronco on August 1, 2023 I have not been able to connect to the Fordpass (get updates, etc. . ). Dealer replaced the gateway module and has not been able to load software onto the module. The gateway module is a "hub" that routes signal to major components of the vehicle (safety, body control, telematics, power train, etc. . ). Since replacing the gateway module, Ford has been unable to get the software to load properly. This issue has manifested itself in not only the Bronco, but the f-150 and Bronco sport as well. My vehicle has been in dealership for this fix for over 10 weeks. Given this is a critical component to vehicle safety and I have seen on Bronco and f150 forums over 50 cases of this I believe someone needs to question the ability of Ford to service such a critical component of vehicle safety.

When I try and electronically close my windows they don't always roll up completely. I can open and close the door to get them to roll up. It's random and not always the same windows.
The screen on the radio freezes/glitches at random times. Navigation no longer updates despite still, providing audio prompts. Requires the vehicle to be parked and turned off to fix it each time. Creates major issue when navigating unfamiliar areas and suddenly needing to pull off the road.
2nd day of ownership and rear view camera failed. Called Ford and they said it was two months until they have an appointment.
