1 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2022 Ford Bronco

Failure Date: 05/01/2026

Truck began scrolling warnings that pre-collision braking, hill start assist, forward collision, adaptive cruise control, and more were all not working. Alerts came out of no where while driving on highway and continued every 30 min to hour of drive time. Cruise control was disabled with this failure. Diagnosed with faulty steering-rack. This has been recalled on other 2022 Ford Broncos, but for some reason our was not included in this recall. This lot was clearly impacted as well. The truck is used for daily driving, does not go off-roading and was not involved in any collision or incident that triggered this, simply driving down the highway. Please let Ford know to expand the recall, our car is not safe to drive and is not inoperable unless we pay for the repair or the recall is expanded. Thank you for your assistance!.

2 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2021 Ford Bronco

Failure Date: 01/27/2026

The digital gauge cluster where it shows sensitive information is a blacked out screen. I took it an automotive shop to investigate the issue. They ran a diagnositic and confirmed the screen is receiving power, fuses are good, but the screen is not powering up. I cannot view the digital speed, fuel gauge, mileage, access goat modes, view tire pressure, view oil life, and other critical data, etc. This first occured a few months ago and would randomly turn back on, but not the screen is black more than it is on. Luckily I am able to track the fuel gauge (miles to empty) on the infotainment screen.

4 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2022 Ford Bronco

Failure Date: 10/30/2025

Adaptive cruise control was enabled and in use and the vehicle nearly rammed into the leading vehicle. The vehicle speed and distance became erratic and finally the vehicle had an alert that the acc was unavailable. This was a very scary incident and could have resulted in a collision. An earlier model Bronco had a misalignment radar module recall but it appears my vehicle should also be included in this recall as well.

6 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2022 Ford Bronco

Failure Date: 06/01/2023

On rare but recurring occasions, perhaps twice a month, powering on the adaptive cruise control results in one of two issues: 1. The acc will engage, but set itself for 15 mph, even if driving at highway speeds. When this occurs, the acc either cancels itself out, or remains on until it detects a malfunction, and then cancels itself out. 2. On rare occasion, the autonomous breaking will, upon powering on of the cruise control, seem to detect a phantom vehicle that is not there and attempt to aggressively brake. The Ford Bronco acc is unique in that it attempts to set the acc on when the system is powered on, unlike other vehicles where the driver must power it on and then set it.

7 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 1995 Ford Bronco

Failure Date: 02/07/2023

Component- cruise control cutout switch recall# 05s28. Performed repaired on 6 June 2006. Called my dealership regarding this recall, they adamantly refuse to perform a repair on my vehicle due to the fact that my vehicle repair history shows no open recalls. However an supplemental order order#16 was issued sometime in 2016 by Ford regarding this same matter stated that the repairs performed do not correct the problem and a new part must be installed. My vehicle does not have the repair that corresponds to this supplemental order, hence it shows no open recalls, apparently it was ignored by the previous owner. I called Ford national customer service and I was told that is up to the dealer. The dealer service manager informed me that due to no recalls open shown in my vehicle repair history I would have to pay for the repair labor and the part. The danger of fire is imminent if this is not repaired ASAP. I cannot do the repair myself or other than an authorized dealer for if anything happens I will be liable. I need that your agency assists me with this very critical situation.
