Air Bags
Filed Aug 21, 2023IN

We keep getting error messages on the vehicle's information screen that says "The restraints control module has detected a fault with the driver seatbelt buckle sensor circuit". The airbag warning indicator light stays on and the alert occurs numerous times randomly while driving the vehicle. We are afraid that if we get into an accident the airbags might not deploy. We have taken vehicle to dealer for service (it is under new car warranty) and we were told a part is on order, but we've waited for two weeks and we feel unsafe driving it.

While driving my 2022 Ford Bronco Sport several alerts flashed in the dash area including lane assist, front end collision and even just a wrench in a box. All audio was lost. Then the entire dash went dark. All information in the instrument panel disappeared. The tachometer and speedometer both dropped to 0. I had no turn signals and could not determine which gear the vehicle was in. The engine continued to run and I could accelerate and slow down. Eventually everything came back on. This has happened several times and the Ford dealership has had the vehicle 3 times and have not been able to recreate the problem or resolve the issue. Most recently I started the vehicle and the instrument panel immediately went dark. I drove the car for approximately 10 minutes without knowing how fast I was going, what gear I was in, or if I even had working brake lights. I am listing the most recent date below. This has happened on May 4 and 7, July 17 and 18, July 24 and 25, 2023.

Upon receiving the notice that my Ford Bronco Sport was subject to a recall in February 2023, I called my local Ford dealer to schedule a service appointment. The dealer stated that FoMoCo is only supplying dealers with "2 repair kits per week" and that they "could not provide an estimate" on a wait time for getting the repair completed. It is now July 2023 and after reaching out to the dealer twice, they are still unable to provide an estimated wait or schedule an appointment.

Brought vehicle in to address a safety recall (NHTSA Recall Number 22V859) on 3/11/23 to the Groove Ford Dealership in Colorado. At this point in time, the recall was showing from Ford as "Remedy Available". Traveled back to dealership several hours later at my own cost to find out they did not have parts in stock and was told parts would be in in a few days. I have called several times since then, and have been told no one knows when parts actually will be in stock to address this safety recall. Contacted Ford Corporate last week and was told my case would be escalated and someone would reach out within 2 business days. I am now contacting Ford again as no one has reached out to me to get this corrected.

We received a Important Safety Recall from Ford in February 2023 (22S73, NHTSA Recall 22V859). We have been trying unsuccessfully since receiving the notice to get this repair done at AutoNation Ford Torrance (3111 E Pacific Coast Hwy, Torrance, CA 90505) but they keep telling us the parts are not available. On the phone for over an hour today with Ford Customer Service... Ford is saying parts ARE available, but when they call the dealership in Torrance, the dealership says it is first come first served. We have been calling for almost 2 months now repeatedly yet they will not fix this recall. Was recently given the name Mark Grobs who is parts manager in at AutoNation Ford Torrance, and a phone numebr if 310-78404782 and was told we need to call him every week and try to get a hold of him when he has a part in stock, not that he is going to call us when it's in stock, WE HAVE TO CALL HIM and HOPE he has a part in stock!

I purchased my 2022 Ford Bronco Sport in February last year. Approximately two months after purchasing it, my windshield was cracked and it was replaced. Approximately three months after replacing it, a rock hit it while I was driving on the highway and it cracked again. Both times, the crack spread across the whole windshield. My co-worker went to her car at our job, came back into the building and asked me if I knew my car rear window was broken. I went to my vehicle and found my rear window was totally shattered. My supervisor reviewed our video surveillance footage and saw nothing. My rear window just shattered. I replaced it. I filed three auto claims last year with a $500 deductible. My windshield replacement cost's $1,900.00 to $2,100.00 if I pay out of pocket. Today, 03/23/23, I was driving to work, something hit it hard (assuming a rock) and it now has a small chipped hole and a large s shaped crack on it. I will have to replace it again. Can you help with having Ford put better glass (stronger windshield glass) in their vehicles? I'm afraid of having my auto insurance cancelled or not renewed by State Farm for filing too many auto glass claims. I'm waiting for my agent to call me and discuss my concerns.

A few hours later after I returned home, I went to retrieve something from the car and noticed the crack had spread to about 6 inches long. I called Ford customer service to make a complaint. I called the dealership a couple of days later and the service department informed it would not be covered under warranty if there is any indication it is something other than a stress fracture. They advised I should file it on my insurance. There is a very tiny chip in the windshield. I am concerned because there are many complaints of cracks in the windshield.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
