The contact owns a 2021 Ford Bronco. The contact stated that with the vehicle in park and the engine running, the vehicle inadvertently shifted into drive and accelerated up a slight incline. Upon inspection, the contact observed that the gear selector was still in park(p). No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 23v070000 (power train) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 12,500.

Lost power while in drive. Car became unresponsive. No response to accelerator inputs. Engine light flashes and request to stop car, turn off, and restart. No power to get out of traffic, safely rolled of highway.

The axle tubes are held to the center differential with 3 x plug welds per side. The plug welds on our axle are weeping oil and do not appear to be properly welded. Upon online comparisons this is a known issue and is resulting in catastrophic failures. Ford claims that "weeps" are not covered under warranty. A weep in this location/situation means that the welding process was sub-standard and compromised.

Drive shaft on the front driver side had a cv boot failure. 2021 Bronco already had a recall for the same failure but my VIN isn’t covered under that recall. Reference number for previous recall is 22b27.

We have had two major issues with this new vehicle. It has less 1,872 miles on it and it is only about 2 months old. Within a week of owning it, the stabilizer bar went out and render the vehicle un drive able. We have a second issue that is even larger safety issue. The vehicle is now dying and leaving you stranded on the side of the road. We have now had this happened to us three times on separate occasions. Once was on a trip back from oklahoma to dallas and the highway is under repair/construction and there are miles that there are only two lanes with no shoulder or exit to get off in case of auto problems. We found ourself at night that our Bronco lost total power and would not start back up. The vehicle has some kind of timer that will allow you to attempt to start it so many times in a period and then disable the ability to crank the engine. It gives you an error of "cranking time exceeded" so where ever you are "stuck on the highway in traffic, off the road on in your driveway, you will not be able to attempt to restart your motor if you exceed this time limit. This is a very dangerous issue and I feel many people could lose their life if they are in an situation where they can not attempt to start their motor and try to move to a safer location if the engin can be restarted.

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.

I started to notice a scraping/grinding noise that is coming from the transmission. It can be heard when I do a cold start and leave in in neutral. If I push the clutch in it goes away. Also, I noticed it a bit louder when I am in low gears such as 1-3, even while fully warmed up.

The contact owns a 2021 Ford Bronco. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 23v069000 (power train) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the dealer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Within about three hours of buying the vehicle, while driving the ten speed automatic transmission at normal highway speeds there was a hard popping sound. The vehicle began to vibrate harshly and jerk. Upon continued driving it would stall in intersections in traffic like it was going to stop moving then jerk accelerate and pause again, multiple times. I have owned the vehicle for about 8 days and it has been in the shop for about 7 of those. I was told by the shop that I could continue to drive it or come get it until they are able to further disasemble the transmission, but it doesnt seem safe to drive a vehicle that feels like it is stalling. It was very dangerous when trying to accelerate in traffic and the vibration during normal speeds felt very unsafe.

Flat towing 2022 Ford Bronco raptor with 3. 0 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 all at once it takes a much greater distance to stop the motorhome than it did when the boost was working.

Vehicle deemed by dealer as "unsafe to drive". . . I sent you complaint about a month or more back with no response. . . . The 2021, 2022, 2023s all are being received brand new with noise starting shortly after. . . . Several hundred of us brand new 7 speed manual transmission Bronco owners are experiencing this. . . . . Dealers are telling us drive them. . . . Mine got to the point the gears began locking up, grinding and the engine randomly high reving which could all of cause me to get into an accident. A recall needs made on these. Someone is going to get hurt trying to make a turn in traffic and lossing power to get nailed by oncoming traffic. Mine now sits with the dealer and parts are back ordered till March. . . TSB 22-2371 which Ford released for this has been unsuccessful on every documented repair. Noise returns. New transmission noise also returns. Do something and get these vehicles recalled so Ford address the true safety concern that's being ignored. Mine is a great example of what's going to happen to everyone's.

Within the first 500 miles on my brand new Bronco, I noticed a strange burning smell after driving it one day. The next morning when I started it, I heard what I thought was a heat shield rattle, and as I continued to drive my Bronco to work throughout the week the noise got worse. Last weekend my wife and I went on a 400 mile trip and the noise was so bad when we returned I scheduled an appointment with the dealership this week. They apparently opened up the transmission today and found metal shavings and a broken case piece so they determined that mine was not eligible to be rebuilt and are ordering a new transmission which will not be available until the end of March or into April. In the meantime the dealership has advised me to continue driving the vehicle as they do not have any rentals available at this time. I am a certified automotive technician 15 plus years by trade for a different manufacturer, and I do not feel comfortable driving the vehicle with the transmission sounding the way it does. I plan on following up with the manager tomorrow to find out an alternative.

The contact owns a 2023 Ford Bronco. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission made grinding sounds when shifted into neutral(n), 1st, and 2nd gear. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was operating as designed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the vehicle was not covered under technical service bulletin: 22-2371 (mt88 manual transmission - rotational scraping noise from transmission when cold and in neutral, 1st and/or 2nd gear with clutch applied). The manufacturer advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 60.

I am part of a large number of individuals ~200+ documented experiencing scraping noises in our 7 speed manual transmissions. Most of us can't get service done due to part supply issues and labor shortages. The bigger concern is Ford is replacing same parts that are being damaged which doesn't address the root cause of the issue and its not solving problem because it comes back shortly after service. The noise is mostly only heard in temps below f per Ford TSB 22-2371. People are complaining that regardless of new transmissions and TSB service the noise still comes back while most of us are waiting months to even get the repairs performed. There has been no official resolutions. The noise is a safety concern in that if the transmission fails a Bronco filled with a family could be stuck in a dangerous situation unable to move the vehicle in gear on the highway or similar situation along with these are brand new people complaining day 1 they bring these 7 speed manual transmission models home on 21s, 22's and now 23's. Ford just keeps sending them to customers with same defective transmissions we have and the problem is growing quickly also since it is winter and more are out there the number is growing quicker. I have tons of videos, documentation and a community of 200 plus individuals who own 7mt Broncos with the issue. I have spreadsheets from the community of builds and user names as well as photos of internal damage and reports of noise coming back. Very good documentation. Please take this seriously.

When starting engine cold if ambient temperatures are below 50f, scraping and grinding sound comes from manual transmission while in neutral, 1st or 2nd gear while clutch is engaged. After warming up noise is going away.

The driveshaft and front axles are completely covered in pitted rust when delivered. Long-term strength and safety of vehicle drive train at risk.

I have a 2023 Ford Bronco that has the 2. 3 l engine and seven speed manual transmission. It was originally purchased in January 2023. I live in colorado so it is cold and on cold mornings, since I have received delivery of the vehicle, it has made and continues to make a grinding, scraping sound when the vehicle is in neutral, or the transmission is not engaged. The grinding, scraping sound will occur when driving in first, second, and third gear. If the weather is warm, as over last summer, it does not make the grinding, scraping sound. It has been consistently documented amongst other owners of this particular vehicle, the new sixth generation Ford Bronco full-size vehicle with the 2. 3 l engine and seven speed manual transmission , that these transmissions make this grinding, scraping sound. I have had it investigated by my local Ford dealership on two separate occasions, and although the tech on site at the dealership states that he can hear the grinding sound and agrees that it is an abnormal sound for a vehicle transmission to make, the Ford motor company has refused to do any type of repair or modification, or replacement of the transmission in my particular vehicle to correct the problem. However, when discussing this problem with other Ford Bronco owners, Ford motor company’s response has been very irregular, one friend, in particular, has had his transmission replaced. I am very concerned that as transmissions tend to suffer with wear and tear, that should this transmission fail early due to the grinding, scraping sound, Ford motor company will not replace it under warranty, stating that it was my fault or expected wear and tear, that the transmission failed early, when, in reality, it is just as likely that the early failure would be due to this abnormal, grinding, scraping sound.

2022 Ford Bronco that I've owned for about 2-3 weeks. Started it up and went to drive off this morning, and I received a '"check 4x4" error, followed by "service vehicle soon". This ultimately has locked the vehicle into 4wd-high and makes it not only more difficult to drive, but is also prematurely wearing tires as it's driven and adding a lot of unnecessary stress to the vehicle as corners are taken. I've taken it to the local Ford dealership, where they weren't able to pull any useful codes or information for a quick fix unfortunately. As I've researched into this further, this sounds like a frequently occurring issue; wherein a problem with an axle solenoid or a powertrain control module seems likely blames.

Manual transmission produces rotational grinding noises when ambient temperatures drop below 50f. Vehicle located in florida, so any visit to Ford dealer to provide warranty service cannot find a problem. Any complaints on difficult shifting are ignored. This problem if left alone will result in catastrophic failure while driving and may lead to accident.

I have a 2022 Ford Bronco with a manual transmission. My Bronco was recently in the shop from 12. 22. 22-01. 23. 24 for service on the transmission due to the grinding noise I was hearing. Dealer notes- "cause 7107 222371a 2021-2022 Bronco manual transmission: replace the 5th and 6th gear synchronizer rings, includes time to remove and install the transmission". It's now 2. 25. 23 and I have an appointment with the dealer again due to a grinding noise & shifting issues.

Bronco has less than 43 miles. Took vehicle on highway and went to go pass a semi and the vehicle lost all power. This could of caused a wreck if there was someone behind me trying to pass the semi as well. Took back to the dealership and the turbo failed on my brand new Bronco. Please see Bronco6g for someone who is logging a list of other members that had similar issues. . Read more...

Powertrain malfunction. Decreased power sent to powertrain. No turbocharge activation. Minimal acceleration, got up to only 45 on highway. Check engine light on, followed by turbocharge wastegate malfunction. 6500 miles, 4 months old. 2. 7l engine. Daily driver awaiting dealer service appointment. Not drivable.

Rear differential seal failure causing gear oil to leak out. Transmission failure of 5th gear to 6th gear synchro. The failure of the seal could have lead to on road failure of vehicle, luckily the vehicle was parked when leaking started. Transmission issue causes grinding of synchro leading to possible failure. The dealer has fixed both issues for now. No warning for either failure.

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.

Engine comes and goes, wastegate gets stuck.

Transmission broke at 4,884 miles reversing out of the driveway. The driveway has no grade and never sits on a hill.

In November 2021, I received delivery of my new Ford Bronco 4wd badlands vehicle. I went for a road trip with my family and friends in my new car. While driving back, the car engine light appeared on the dashboard, along with the service alert, and the car began to make noise. I pulled over and tried to restart the car, but it never started. We were in the mountains, where there was no signal for more than ten miles. We were completely stranded, along with my kids, who were 13 and 16 at the time, and one of my friends' 8-year-old daughter. We were fortunate to be with our friends and he was able to take us to a near-safe area where we could contact Ford and the dealership. After 5 hours of waiting in a safe zone, we received a towing truck. I picked up the car with the towing driver and parked it at a nearly Ford dealership. We had to book a hotel room in the area, and the next morning I went to the local Ford dealership to request an appointment to see the problem, but they said they didn't have any appointments available for another three weeks and insisted I call Ford customer service again. Ford customer service arranged for the same towing company that came last night to help haul the car to my dealership, where I purchased this car. My local towne Ford dealership was nice enough to inspect and repair the car, but after a few days, I had a similar issue and they suggested that they replace the engine with a new one. The dealership took nearly a month to ship and repair the engine replacement. A few weeks ago, as my family and I were driving from sf to la, my car suddenly lost power. I kept getting the message, "powertrain malfunction/reduced power fault detected," and later, "service engine soon warning," which states that the engine control system has determined that the turbocharger is producing less boost than normal. It was shocking because I was on vacation with my family in la, and the kids were terrified to even be in the car. This are some experiences.
