I am experiencing a fuel smell in my vehicle when I cold start it in the morning. I took it to the dealership and they could not identify the smell but claimed that if I call Ford customer service they might be able to escalate the issue. Ford customer service just said there is nothing they can do until the recall Campaign 25S76 is done but it is currently on pause even though it was issued 7/16/25 and it is currently 10/23/26. I said that these is a safety issue since Ford has identified that it can lead to the engine igniting which has happened to 8 vehicles according to Ford. They said they recommend waiting for the recall to happen despite my safety concerns on a known flaw with the vehicle. No resolution or any type of compromise provided even though I can identify the fuel smell that they say is a sign of the fuel injector issue that should be fixed under customer satisfaction program Campaign: 22N18

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V467000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to complete the recall repair was not available. The local dealer was contacted several times and confirmed that the parts were unavailable. The contact stated the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue.

I’m reporting that this vehicle has been under recall literally since I purchased it over 4 years ago. It has a potential fire issue with the fuel injector, which several trips to the dealership have not fixed it. Ford sends a letter out once a year and says they’ll let me know when they have a fix. I keep a fire blanket stuffed into my glovebox and I’d like to know why over 4 years isn’t long enough to fix it! NHTSA Recall #25V467 This recall used to show up in my Ford app, but they removed it some time ago. Like that would fix the problem!

Water is entering the vehicle and dripping onto the interior floorboards, particularly when the air conditioning is running.This has caused growth of mold and rust inside the vehicle. The vehicle has developed multiple dashboard warning lights, and the turn signals and windshield wipers have stopped functioning. Most concerning, the steering wheel has locked while the vehicle was in motion, leaving me unable to steer even though the engine remained running.This created a serious and immediate safety hazard. The vehicle has since become inoperable and will no longer start. The source of the water intrusion and the underlying causes of the electrical and steering failures have not been confirmed. However, the combination of water entering the vehicle, multiple warning lights, loss of turn signals and windshield wiper operation, loss of steering control while the engine remained running, and the subsequent failure to start raises serious concerns about the vehicle’s safety and possible electrical system damage. I took the vehicle in for an inspection to determine the cause of these problems\. I was informed that diagnostic testing would cost approximately $250 per dashboard warning light, potentially exceeding $1,000 before the underlying problems could be identified. I have not received a confirmed diagnosis of the cause of these failures. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Given the loss of steering control while driving, the failure of essential safety-rela

The rear drive unit (RDU) deteriorated at 78k miles. I began to notice a shudder during low-speed turns with high steering angle. Upon inspection, metallic flakes were discovered in the RDU’s fluid, apparently indicating mechanical degradation of the internal clutch packs. Two separate Ford dealerships recommended complete RDU assembly replacement at a significant expense. I am concerned that an important drivetrain component could deteriorate this quickly, from normal driving use. I believe this could result in wheel drag/lockup or seizure while operating the vehicle. I have not experienced it yet and I’m not sure whether a total mechanical failure would cause it either. Ford has numerous technical service bulletins on this issue, so it is known to them (TSB 26-2328). I am currently waiting for a dealership to receive parts so that the RDU may be replaced.

After the dealership executed Safety Recall 25S76, the vehicle immediately began violently sputtering and surging on public roads, and the service department actively concealed the resulting diagnostic fault codes.

Stripped differential. I was told by a service tech that the vehicle is safe to drive until it isn’t that Ford is aware but does not have a fix. It is available for inspection. The vehicle is getting worse, and I only drive short distances. Olathe Ford did the inspection. They will not give me a copy of the inspection. I have never received any warning lights whatsoever.

Misfire from fuel injectors

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate and lost motive power. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for inspection. The contact stated that the failure was related to the powertrain control module (PCM). The dealer reportedly found a transmission failure, and the vehicle was not covered under warranty. The contact stated that there was sand and debris in the transmission. The vehicle had been driven on the beach. It was unknown whether any repairs were completed. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V267000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was notified by phone, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 46,580.

Formal Complaint: Unresolved Safety Hazard and Delayed Remedy (NHTSA Campaign 25V-467 / Ford Recall 25S76) ​I am writing to express severe concern regarding Ford Motor Company's ongoing failure to provide a permanent, physical fix for the cracked fuel injector fire hazard in my vehicle. Since the initial recall action in late 2022 (22V-859), Ford has repeatedly issued interim software updates and drain tubes rather than replacing the inherently defective hardware. ​It has been over four years without a definitive hardware remedy for a critical defect that carries a severe underhood fire risk. Driving a vehicle with a known fuel-leak fire risk without a permanent solution poses an ongoing safety hazard to myself and my family. I request that NHTSA compel Ford to expedite the production and distribution of replacement fuel injectors for all affected owners immediately.

Car has a recall that can’t be correctly repaired with no projected date for repair. Causing decreasing value of the car.

My 2022 Ford Bronco Sport exhibits severe engine knocking and low fuel pressure, which are primary symptoms of open safety recalls 24S16 and 25S76. On 9/29/26, Seelye Ford of Kalamazoo charged me $220.21 out-of-pocket for a powertrain recall system software update. They are now refusing to inspect the physical fuel injectors or complete the safety recalls unless I pay out-of-pocket to replace an unrelated push-to-start button module, holding a federal safety recall hostage. The vehicle continues to malfunction identically after their software flash, making it a severe stalling and fire hazard. It is currently stranded on the dealer's lot.

My 2022 Bronco Sport suffered a physical underhood engine fire due to Recall 25S76 / Campaign 25V467. Ford Corporate is refusing to provide a loaner vehicle or alternative transportation, leaving me stranded while the vehicle sits unrepairable at a Ford dealership awaiting a final hardware remedy that does not yet exist. We have also been denied the Ford Buy Back program even though we COULDNT and were BLOCKED to set a maintenance appointment for said recall to attempt to prevent this from happening because they do not have a permanent fix. The dealership and Progressive insurance want to replace all burnt parts with the same defective recalled parts which should be illegal and is unsafe. We just want the means to get our family into a safe vehicle.

Front and rear axle, 4 wheel drive, and differential issues, causing steering, wheel, and driving issues. There is a nationwide back order on parts needed to repair this common, and known issue, leaving Ford service to return customers to continue driving unsafe vehicles until parts arrive. Despite Ford having knowledge of this safety hazard, there has been no recall.

The A/C condensate drain valve on the 2022 Ford Bronco Sport features a severe engineering defect that causes water to back up directly into the passenger cabin. The soft rubber "duckbill" drain valve is sandwiched blindly behind a tight underbody exhaust heat shield. Normal exhaust heat causes the rubber valve to stick permanently shut, turning the HVAC assembly into a water tank. Additionally, factory carpet insulation is wedged tightly against the internal housing, pinching the line shut.Safety Risk & Hazards:When the drain fails, large volumes of water flood the interior passenger floorboards. This water pools directly over sensitive electrical wiring harnesses and modules located beneath the dash, creating a severe risk of electrical shorts, sudden component failure, or a vehicle fire. Furthermore, the backed-up water completely saturates the cabin air filter and window defroster system, causing sudden, severe windshield fogging while driving, which severely impairs driver visibility.

I have a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport Outer Banks that I bought brand new. I special ordered it and had it delivered to a dealership in Jacksonville IL. The vehicle has 107,000 miles on it. On XXX while driving to work my car completely quite running in the middle of a busy intersection with cars speeding by us and me and my fiance were both in danger of being hit by multiple Semi trucks, this road leads directly to an industrial park. I had the vehicle towed to the nearest ford dealer who told me the Transmission failed completely. I have read online that this is a known issue with a series of Bronco products that ford has produced. there are endless online forums and from what i can find Ford has not addressed or notified consumers that their product may quit unexpectedly out of no where putting lives at risk. This could kill people. We had just got off one of the most busy interstates in the united states. [XXX] in [XXX] if my car would have quit on I24 its very likely me and my fiance would both be dead and possibly others injured as well. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The APIM completely failed disabling my rear back up camera. Ford had a know issue with this car model that they issued a customer satisfaction program that has expired but the systems are still failing and they are refusing to replace and address.

The charcoal canister, connection, wires and felt cover has been broken. This is the second time something has went through the cover and broke the charcoal canister. First time it was covered under warranty and only the canister and cover had a hole. This time several things were broken. It caused the engine light to come on. It has also caused the lane assist to stay on. There are bare wires underneath the vehicle. The Ford company wanted to charge me over $2,000. to repair. I do not take this Bronco out on trails four wheeling, it is a family vehicle. It has been caused, I assume by a rock coming up and hitting underneath it.

When turning any direction or hitting speeds of 75 mph +, vehicle makes loud noise and starts shaking. Took it to an independent mechanic and ran a diagnostic, they said the rear differential is going out which isn't normal for vehicles with this mileage and said it was a manufacturer defect. When I took the vehicle to a Ford dealership, the tech laughed and said there's a one month wait for parts and 15 other Broncos in front of me dealing with the same issue.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V467000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The local dealer and manufacturer were contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure associated with the recall. The contact stated that while turning at slow speeds and while turning while in reverse, the vehicle was vibrating and shaking abnormally with a loud grinding sound. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and was diagnosed with rear differential failure. The contact was informed that the rear differential needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired, and the contact was informed that parts were not available. The contact was concerned that the rear differential failure might cause the vehicle to become inoperable. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The failure mileage was 41,000.

On [XXX], my 2022 Ford Bronco Sport was stationary under my residential carport. I was seated in the front passenger seat with the passenger door open. I reached across and depressed the brake pedal with my hand and pressed the engine Start/Stop button. I did NOT touch or move the rotary gear selector before starting the vehicle. Immediately after the vehicle started, it unexpectedly began moving backward. I reached over and moved the gear selector to PARK to stop the vehicle. Before I was able to stop it, the open passenger door was caught and bent backward, causing damage to the vehicle. I did not intentionally select REVERSE or command the vehicle to move backward. I am reporting this because I am concerned that an unintended transmission/gear-selection or electronic control malfunction allowed the vehicle to move backward upon startup without Reverse being selected. VIN: [XXX] I am requesting that this incident be documented and evaluated as a potential vehicle safety defect involving unintended vehicle movement. Insurance claim will be filed for damage.

I first noticed noise from the rear of the vehicle in early July 2026, within days of picking it up from Louisburg Ford following a turbocharger repair completed June 29, 2026. The rear drive unit (rear differential) has since been diagnosed as failing at 82,053 miles, with a repair quoted at approximately $4,000. Ford documented this failure mode in Technical Service Bulletin 23-2335, issued October 2023 and superseded by 24-2185 and 24-2386, identifying the rear drive unit vent hose as an entry point for fluid contamination that destroys the unit. My vehicle is within the affected population — 2022 Bronco Sport Outer Banks with the 1.5L engine, delivered October 29, 2022. In October 2023, when Ford documented this defect, my vehicle had approximately 25,000 miles and was under its bumper-to-bumper warranty. The vehicle has been serviced exclusively at Louisburg Ford since delivery at 11 miles, and the records show the vent hose has never been replaced — the original design remains installed. This vehicle has also required repairs to engine sealing at three separate leak sources, the high-pressure fuel injectors, the exhaust converter, and a complete turbocharger and wastegate assembly, all before 83,000 miles. Ford has offered partial assistance, leaving $1,685 as my share. The vehicle is currently not drivable.

Brake components showing signs of failure at 28,000 miles on both front and rear brakes. Safety placed at risk given speed and general use of vehicle which includes passengers. This includes grinding stops, increasing foot pressure used to stop car, and under certain conditions reconsidering use of vehicle. Ford dealership inspected vehicle and is aware of issue and noted TSB (T25-2438) in service visit diagnosis. No warning lights present. Signs first appear as increased brake dust covering rim and tire areas, increasingly loud grinding and squealing of brakes whether in drive or reverse. No remedy provided by Ford despite low mileage and understanding that the issue is not normal wear and tear on vehicle.

My vehicle is subject to NHTSA Recall 25V467 / Ford Recall 25S76 for a fuel injector that may crack and leak fuel into the engine compartment, creating a risk of fire. The recall was issued in July 2025 and remains open more than a year later. Ford has provided an interim PCM software update intended to detect a leaking injector and mitigate the fire risk, but this does not replace the defective fuel injectors and the recall remains open. Ford states that a final remedy is still being developed / is not currently available for my vehicle. I am concerned about the length of time this safety defect has remained without an available permanent repair. The vehicle continues to be operated while subject to a known fuel-leak and underhood-fire risk, and I do not have the ability to have the defective components permanently repaired despite the recall having been open since July 2025. I am requesting that NHTSA review the delay in Ford providing the final remedy for Recall 25V467. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. I have not experienced a fuel leak, fire, crash, or injury at this time.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V467000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact was advised to take the vehicle to the dealer if the vehicle experienced the failure. The manufacturer was contacted. The contact had not experienced a failure.

Both the valve included in Ford's TSB 24-2185 and the clutch pack included in TSB 26-2328 both defaulted in the vehicle, causing debris and metal shavings to accumulate in the RDU which resulted in pitting of the gears and parts. This has resulted in a complete RDU replacement. The vehicle has only 65,700 miles.

Locking device to secure car seat to the base broke, on this REPLACEMENT infant car seat. Graco Case #49771285, 10/19/25 (I no longer have pictures or videos of defective car seat, Graco should have them on file. The infant seat was returned to Graco QA, the Graco replaced it with current defective car seat on 10/24/25). Current Graco infant car seat Case # 5195437 with Reference # 520230003. I have pictures of this one. In addition, our daughter gave us her back up car seat to use with her son, the one we bought the above car seats for. This SSME & 3rd infant car seat had the SAME DEFECT! We asked Graco to RECALL these seats. They said they don’t make them any longer. We requested a recall again and said we would also be submitting a report of defect to NHTSA, this is it. We are concerned for the safety of thousands of infants nationwide that are still using these infant car seats. PLEASE follow up with Graco AND recall these infant car seats. Thank you from a concerned grandparent.

Oil pump solenoid has been replaced 3 times and the vehicle is under 100,000 miles. There is a low oil light illuminates on dash board in addition to acceleration lose and a white smoke coming from under the hood and the back end of the vehicle. The 6th or 7th time this happened the Bronco had to be towed. There were many more problems included in this tow, powertrain failure, engine misfire, loss of power, crackling, popping sound from under the hood.

I am reporting a safety concern involving the transmission in my 2022 Ford Bronco Sport equipped with the 1.5L engine and 8-speed automatic transmission (8F35). I purchased this vehicle new in May 2022 with approximately 6 miles on it. At approximately 83,000 miles, the vehicle displayed a “Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power” warning through FordPass. The notification stated that a transmission clutch had not applied within the expected amount of time and warned that I may experience limited functionality, including unavailable gears. I took the vehicle to an authorized Ford dealership, All Star Ford Denham Springs, for diagnosis. On August 4, 2026, the dealership informed me in writing that the vehicle has an internal transmission failure and metal in the transmission fluid. The technician determined that the transmission requires complete replacement. I was subsequently quoted approximately $13,000 for the repair. I am concerned that an internal transmission failure of this nature could result in reduced propulsion, unavailable gears, abnormal shifting, or loss of vehicle mobility, particularly if the failure occurs while the vehicle is being driven. Thus being it did fail in the middle of a highway with the gas pedal no longer working. The car was then towed to the dealership and would not even go into neutral to remove the car from the trailer I am requesting that NHTSA review this failure and determine whether similar transmission/clutch failures are occurring in other

Has been 1 year since recall was initiated for the fuel cap crack with no recourse. we do not feel safe waiting longer for this fix and would request compensation from ford to sell the car.

TRANSACTION FRAUD & SYSTEM BYPASS:The vehicle was purchased from an authorized franchise dealer in January 2026. Following an investigation, it was discovered that the dealership's finance desk executed a "split-paperwork" scheme to override an automated delivery compliance hold. The dealership utilized my actual 2.0L Badlands VIN on banking documents, but electronically transmitted a completely different, lower-trim 1.5L engine VIN to my insurer (USAA) to issue a clean delivery binder. This intentional data manipulation was used to knowingly bypass active safety recall alerts.SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:In March 2026, while traveling on [XXX], the front suspension suffered an unexplained, catastrophic failure, resulting in an immediate, total loss of steering control. The vehicle veered off the roadway and impacted a concrete barrier at high velocity. The mechanics of this failure exactly mirror the structural anomalies detailed in federal NHTSA Recall 26V340000 (Ford Recall 26S36) regarding lower control arm ball joint separation.CRITICAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM FAILURE:During the high-velocity impact, the primary occupant safety restraint systems completely failed to perform. The driver’s side seatbelt failed to lock, and zero front or side airbags deployed. This total safety mechanism failure directly resulted in a severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and permanent new-onset seizures, confirmed via clinical EEG by the Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital and currently managed via Keppra 3x/day

There have been no issues, however it has been a year with no parts available and this sounds like a major potential safety concern if it could start a fire.

I've had a Blindspot warning light alert, told by dealership this is an electrical issue, after a web search, I see this is a common and known issue for Ford, yet no recall has been issued. I also have another know, common powertrain issue with my rear differential. The vehicle makes noise when turning, unstable when driving. The vehicle is less than 5yrs old and under 60k miles. Both issues are safety issues and could cause an electrical fires or vehicle stalling. I am scheduled for a 2nd inspection on 7/31 and hopefully repair.

Vehicle was parked in a parking lot. When starting the vehicle and trying to put it into reverse, it would not backup. Vehicle had to be towed to the dealership. The transmission had gears stripped and was due to a failure of the shift module of the vehicle. The vehicle had under 67,000 miles on it. There were no issues with the shift module or transmission up until this point.

Vehicle developed a hum when accelerating on July 5, 2026. Made an appointment with the dealership to have it diagnosed. They could not get me in until July 16, 2026. On July 15, 2026, the vehicle went into limp mode and had to be driven at an unsafe speed to the dealership to diagnose and repair the issue. There are 81,000 miles on the vehicle. The issue turned out to be a cracked catalytic converter. The catalytic converter had previous been replaced in August 2025 due to the same issue at 67,000 miles.

The catalyic converter is no longer working and showing check engine lights. There is no fix for this issue yet. I cannot get my registration which was due last month.

I have replaced the water pump THREE times on this Bronco Sport. It has been every 18 months or about every 20,000 miles. I made the report in March of 2025, never heard anything. Making another report now as it is currently in the shop getting the water pump replaced for the THIRD TIME!!!

The vehicle is only a 2022 and has a jerky acceleration during non-highway driving with RPMs fluctuating. The tire, cruise control and seatbelt indicator lights are illuminated with no resolvable issue (the dealer clears them out and they come back). There’s an audible muffler rattle that has been present for a long time that the dealer says is normal. When I fuel up the engine audible bogs down. On a recent road trip to New York the vehicle vapor locked at a gas station and had to be jumped. The vehicle has been nothing but recalls and issues

All my husband purchases is mainly Fords and he has for over 20 years. The last 3 Fords we have purchases from years 2019-2025 have had the same issues. My husband had a 2019 Ford Escape that broke down on us in the mountains. Had to have transmission replaced twice before 100,000 miles. Then he got a 2020 escape and same thing plus a motor replaced..now I have a 2022 bronco sport outer banks and they claim I need transmission replaced and rear end differential. I was quoted $15,000. That is almost as much as my car is worth. I am outside the "warranty" window. The dealership was rude about it because we didnt purchase our Ford with them directly stating they are loyal to their customers who purchase with them first. We have been loyal to ford for so long and now losing faith! I can in no way possible afford that much money! I bought it because I thought it was the safe option for my daughter and for me taking her to school. This car is not safe to drive at all! I had to drive it home from dealership because I cant afford to fix it and now I am without. How am I suppose to drive my kid to school in something that is shaking and grinding like that? This is not the first ford we have had to do it but we remain loyal!

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45-50 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle made an abnormal chugging sound and was losing motive power. The contact had received four recall notification letters for NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V467000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 47,700.

It was Memorial Day and I was picking my bicycle up from my brother’s house. As I turned out onto the main road, my car stalled. Battery light on, auto start/stop blinking and car rattling. The car also gave me a note on the dash saying it needed to be in park. Took it to the dealer and they told me that a new transmission was required but haven’t been willing or able to give me the finer details of what is wrong with the transmission until they disassemble it. They wanted to make me pay $5 just for that and that is way out of budget for me. I come to find out recently that Ford is in the news again. This time for faulty transmissions and they seemed to care less to help me out financially. They know these transmissions are bad. I know that my car is not tied to the recall regarding transmissions in the 2018-21 Navigators, Expeditions or Explorers, but the dealer gave me an error code of P07E4 which sounds VERY SIMILAR to this issue with these 2018-21 cars referenced earlier. I feel lucky that i wasn’t on the highway or anything when this happened.

I am filing this complaint to report an unreasonable and hazardous delay by Ford Motor Company regarding safety recall 25S76 (NHTSA 25V467) for my 2022 Ford Bronco Sport (VIN: [XXX]). This recall involves a severe fire hazard where a cracked fuel injector can leak liquid fuel and vapor onto hot engine components, presenting an immediate risk of an under-hood fire and occupant injury.This recall has now been active for nearly a year, yet Ford’s official status for my vehicle remains "Recall Incomplete, remedy not yet available." Sourcing a permanent physical repair has been excessively delayed. Because this defect is an ongoing, inherited engineering issue from previous failed recall remedies on this same engine family, I am being forced to drive a vehicle with a known, unaddressed fire risk due to the manufacturer's failure to supply parts in a reasonable timeframe. I request that NHTSA expedite its oversight of Ford's parts manufacturing and distribution timeline for this specific remedy.

We have a video of the incident from our ring camera: [XXX] My daughter pulled our 2022 Bronco Sport out of our driveway onto [XXX] and then made a right turn onto [XXX] After completing the turn, my daughter said the car pulled to the right like the lane assist kicked in and locked and would not allow her to turn the wheel. My daughter does not remember if any warning lights or messages lit up on her dashboard because the whole thing happened within a few seconds. She crashed into our next door neighbors concrete and cinderblock mailbox at low speed and then the Bronco immediately flipped over. The vehicle is at a local tow yard and available for inspection.

This recall has been active for a year with Ford saying they have been unable to find a remedy but at the same time saying there is a risk of fuel pooling on the engine, possibly causing a fire and causing injury, I’m assuming to me the driver or my passengers. This is my commuter vehicle upon which I am making payments to Ford Credit. I can’t afford to park it until they come up with a way to fix this if it’s already taken a year since the recall was issued. And I bought this vehicle new in 2023. So already how long have I been tempting fate? Are they going to be able to fix this soon or not? Does a year qualify as “timely”?
