Every light comes on and off and it won’t start , the first time my ex husband jumped it with his jumping cables and it came right back to life , but this second time , we jumped it for about 5 times and nothing . Towing truck came in the night the day after it happened and he jumped it and it started, drove my car really carefully back home and now I’m scared to use my car because I’m afraid it’ll leave me in the middle of the highway or what’s worse it can cause an accident and my kids inside . I couldn’t even imagine how devastating that would be. Please help me to find a solution for this matter _ Sincerely, A mom with 3 kids driving to her job and kids sports every day and she needs a reliable car .

Purge valve went bad, it was causing the vehicle to try to stall and dropping down to very low rim, always happened after fueling and would sometimes hesitate to go when accelerator was pushed. I had it stall on my trying to pull on to [XXX] in Florida from an exit. That could have been very bad. And I've noticed way too many other people online and in forums having the same concern. Do to safety concerns i paid to have mine replaced but do not feel like it should have already went out this soon. The date i included below is for the last incident, this issues started over a year ago and has slowly gotten worse. I did mention this back then to my service dept but was told it just probably hadn't built up enough pressure in the tank yet after fueling.

I hit the start button on my car and it began to flicker lights and start over and over again then it started an electrical fire in the front of the vehicle. We had to quickly disconnect the battery to get it to stop trying to start. I took it to the dealer and they said it was a defective starter. If I didn’t have tools or if my car was in the garage I could have been asphyxiated or my house could have caught on fire.

When I bought my vehicle in 2021. The brakes makes a squeaky noise when backing up. I took to dealer and the mechanic said it was normal his wife have the same car and her Bronco does the same thing. The brakes still makes noise when backing up and it’s year 2025. I’m thinking about going to another brake pad but buying a new vehicle for it to squeak is not right.

The car went completely dead when I was stopped at a red light. There was no power and I couldn’t put it into park. There was no indicator light nor warning that there was a problem with the battery. This put me into great risk of being hit by another car as traffic started to worsen and cars were trying to go around me. Police came and got me out of the car and because they could not get the car into gear they called and had it towed. I incurred the cost of the tow as well as the cost of the battery and the labor to install it. I tried to get reimbursed from the dealership but they said they couldn’t help me abc suggested instead that I don’t use the auto stop/start because it was draining the battery which caused it to not have enough power to restart at the red light. This was a very frightening experience as it was in another city other than my own and it was just on the other side of a bridge during traffic hour.

Like the other people state. Rear brakes make a moaning noise when backing up. First thing in the morning when trying to back the vehicle out of the garage. I put it in reverse, and it holds like the brakes are sticking. You have to hit the throttle to make the care move and you hear a pop noise like the brakes released. My garage is not on a incline or any kind of slope. We took the car to the dealer and they stated Ford knows about it but there is no fix. You need new brakes and rotors that cost over $800. If Ford knows about it why do I have to pay when they know it's a problem?

One day after trying to remote start the vehicle it didn’t remote start. It was found the vehicle was not in park. This triggered the wrench warning light. Upon investigation by the dealer it was found the PRNDL was not responding. The PRNDL should put the car in park if the driver doesn’t and this time that didn’t happen. Seems like safety issue like the death that happened on a Chrysler vehicle because the car was not in park. My car had 32,000 miles and was only 3.5 years old. Seems this is a common problem when you search it on line.

Vehicle completely died in the middle of operation. All lights came on and then the vehicle completely shut off. Reverse camera comes on and stays on while driving forward from time to time. I have this on video as well.

Clutch A within the automatic transmission failed as well as the water pump casing had a crack in a known weakness at just under 79,000 miles. The water pump has a noticeable leak from a crack in the cast made. The dealership said this is not the first Bronco Sport with the issue and that it is fairly common since Ford has put out a TSB on the issue. The transmission has slipping from clutch A between first and second gear when accelerating under normal conditions. The technician noted it in there report and recommended a transmission replacement and an oil flush. The symptoms are a sudden shift to neutral with a run away engine rev or you can have hard shifting from first to second gear that can also result with a sudden loss of power until the clutch finally engages second gear.

I was unaware of any previous recalls before I purchased my Bronco Sport used. There is an active recall that has no remedy for the battery. I am actively having issues with my fuel system. It was inspected more than once. Diagnostics returned zero issues 3 times and no warning lights. I insisted further inspection this time which revealed bad purge valve, charcoal canister full of fuel, coolant leak resulting in water pump replacement needed. No warning lights. No codes, active or stored. Due to the absence of codes, they will not replace my fuel injectors per customer satisfaction program 22N18. Was not ever informed that recalls 22S73, 22S21, and 21C31 were either inspected or completed on my vehicle as it was not ever disclosed to me and the Ford website only state "scheduled maintenance" was performed. I still cannot obtain documentation of those previous service records so that I may be informed on what could have led to the current issues I am having with this vehicle. I have 3 kids I drive around and do not feel safe putting them in it anymore due to official documents issued by Ford that state my car could either lose power in the middle of driving it, or catch on fire due to a cracked fuel injector.

Regarding the current recall for my 2021 Bronco Sport. How can Ford say this is still safe to drive if the battery can cut off at any given moment, leaving you stranded on a highway, or anywhere. I expect better from Ford. They should be letting those affected rent a car until the parts are available. This is a safety issue and extremely dangerous. This same thing happened with my third battery (yes, I am on my third battery in 3 1/2 years). I was left stranded, no hazards, no lights, no nothing, windows didn't work, door locks didn't work, it was dark out, and I was alone. My windows were down and I had valuables in the car so I couldn't leave the car. Very dangerous. Yes, I called for help, but it was scary and unsafe. Thank you.

On 12/18/24 while driving the Bronco Sport, the transmission became very "herky-jerky" while driving on local roads. I was able to get to a safe space when the transmission gave out completely. The vehicle, which was ordered new and purchased in late October of 2021 had 64000 miles on it at the time of this incident. Once it was towed to the dealership they confirmed the transmission was in need of approximately $12K worth of repairs and that there was also a water pump issue that needed addressed.

The transmission/ powertrain failed on my ford bronco sport badlands 2021. Had a software update about 2 months ago from ford and the automatic shifting of the bronco sport badlands 2021 became rougher and rougher at low speeds, causing a jerking of the vehicle. When shifting from a stop the vehicle missed a shift and then continued to make whirring noises at all speeds. Upon returning home & to a stop, the vehicle can no longer engage in reverse. No warning lamps or messages were displayed by the vehicle. No event occurred such as an accident that would impact the transmission either. The car has not yet been fixed and can be inspected upon request.

Vehicle would not start on two occasions, both times the vehicle was jumped and started.

It was towed to the Ford Dealership in Oxford, MS in December 2024. The dealership looked over the car, no other issues and advised that this was likely a recall and recommended a battery replacement which I did. I paid $202.65 for the repairs and in February I received a notice for 12 Volt battery recall but no instructions were provided to seek reimbursement nor was there any recall fix given (time was Q2 2025). The instrumental panel upon attempting to the start the vehicle would light up but the engine would not turn over, all warning lights would come on. Yes the vehicle is available for inspection.

Driver was driving on the interstate. The car flashed several electrical system failure issues and notified that the alternator no longer functioned and that the system would then pull from the battery. The battery light came on and then flashed several warnings along with sounds. Driver was luckily able to exit the interstate and make it to a parking lot off before vehicle lost all power. Once parked and turned off, the accessories like radio and dashboard screen and lights were still functioning. The car would not start until we jumped it. Afterwards the car would not switch gears and then again flashed the electric system was experiencing failure. This and along with some whirring sounds from under the hood (what I could hear from driver seat), gave me enough reason to stop trying altogether to avoid further issues. After turning the car off, the dashboard flashed errors saying that features like electric braking, lane assist, and others were not available. Car was towed to dealership. Owners notified Ford dealership of recall # 24V267000 for the vehicle on 5/5/24. Dealership said it was not yet active recall (although issued by Ford on 4/11/2024), refused to pay for new battery and alternator needed (caused by the defunct battery- part of the recall). Owner paid out of pocket and was not reimbursed for replacement parts covered by the recall. The vehicle shutting off abruptly while driving at a high speed could have caused injuries or deaths.

Immediately after the driver started the car, many notifications popped up on the dashboard including: cross traffic system fault, service vehicle soon, full accessory power active, hill start assist not available, service AdvanceTrac, Engine Coolant Over Temperature, and Cross Traffic System Fault. The gauge showed fuel empty and other dashboard indicators were illuminated such as engine, battery, oil, seatbelt, airbag, faulty blindspot monitoring, and traction control. Driver took pictures of these notifications and indicators for documentation. Driver turned off the car and discovered recall # 25S02 for the vehicle. Owner recognized the notification explosion from similar experience on May 5, 2024 in reference to recall # 24V267000. In May 2024, the notification system showed all of the above alerts before the vehicle shut off and lost power. At this time, the vehicle was traveling at 60 mph on the interstate. Driver was fortunately able to exit and get to a parking lot before losing steering control. Vehicle would not restart, even with a jump. The vehicle was towed to dealer, however, dealer would not honor the issued recall as it was "not yet active". The dealer replaced the battery and alternator (deemed to caused by faulty battery included in recall) at expense to the driver. Driver was not reimbursed. The manufacturer was notified for May 2024 incident and again after February 4, 2025 incident. Vehicle was towed on 2/5/25 to dealer for service. Despite the active rec
