“The wiper system when turned to the standard or fast wiping position during any rainfall condition will slowing reduce its speed in less than a minute to the slowest speed for both positions and stay at that speed regardless of rainfall conditions. Even in normal rainfall conditions this has caused serious responses because of the delay with wiper returning to clear water from window.”
Owner complaint, filed Jun 12, 2023
“Windshield wipers stop working while driving in both heavy rain and light rain. When turned on low, or high, not intermittent, the wipers slow down, and sometimes stop altogether. I was driving in heavy rain on the highway and the were on high. Repeatedly they kept slowing down, and then stopping. I had to turn them off, and back on each time, to get them to work on high again. This happened 6- 7 times.”

The vehicle is a 2022 Ford Bronco two-door with a hardtop roof that was previously replaced under a recall due to a defected hardtop roof. After the replacement, I notice stress cracks and delamination around the rear side windows on both sides of the vehicle, including the top and bottom corners, with visible bubbling and separation of the roof material near those window edges. In addition, while driving, there is increased wind noise coming from the roof area, particularly around the T-top panels, which suggests they may not be sealing properly to the main roof. This appears to affect the integrity of the roof system and could be a safety concern if it worsens. I am not aware of a current recall number for this issue. The problem has not yet been confirmed by a dealer or service center. There were no warning messages before it was discovered. The component should be available for inspection if needed.

This problem became apparent to us while driving on the interstate when it became extremely difficult to steer, nearly causing a collision.

When attempting to accelerate from a stopped position to enter loop [XXX] in [XXX]. My vehicle experienced total loss of power due to failure of the low pressure fuel pump. This created a very dangerous situation as I was attempting to enter the highway from the access road. This event very nearly resulted in a crash that could have caused serious bodily injury or death to me. The vehicle was taken to the closest Ford dealership, Red McCombs Ford in [XXX]. The incident was described to the service representative and taken in for diagnosis. The next week, the service representative contacted me to tell me that they were able to replicate the issue in testing and that the low pressure fuel pump had experienced mechanical failure. They said, unfortunately Ford does not have an approved remedy available yet. I told them that I was aware that the failed part was indeed available and had found documented cases where Ford had chosen to approve replacing it for individuals experiencing the same problem. It isn’t a case of a replacement part being available, it is a case of Ford not wanting to replace the failed part and instead attempting to find a software fix that allows for preserving the life of the potentially defective part. However, this is not an acceptable solution once the part has already failed.

I am writing to formally complain about a serious and increasingly concerning problem with the hardtop on my 2022 Ford Bronce four-door. I began noticing cracks in the hardtop after becoming aware of numerous complaints from other Bronco owners regarding similar cracking problems. Once I knew what to look for, I inspected my Bronco and noticed cracks in the hardtop. I promptly brought the issue to the attention of my Ford dealership. Unfortunately, I was told that the vehicle had just passed the time limit of the factory warranty, even though it was well within the mileage limit of the warranty. I find it extremely frustrating that Ford’s position appears to be based on the calendar expiration of the warranty when this is a known problem (defect) that has been reported by numerous Bronco owners. More importantly, the condition of the hardtop has deteriorated significantly. Over the past several months, the cracks have become substantially worse, and I am now concerned that the hardtop could eventually fail completely. This is no longer simply a cosmetic concern. I purchased a new Ford Bronco with the expectation that the vehicle’s major structural components would remain reliable under normal use. I am requesting that Ford reconsider my case and provide full replacement of the defective hardtop at no cost to me, including parts and installation cost. I would also like Ford to consider the safety implications of allowing a hardtop with progressively worsening cracks to remain

On August 26, 2026, my 2022 Ford Bronco experienced a serious safety related failure while I was driving. The vehicle displayed a sway bar disconnect system warning and became disabled, leaving me stranded on the side of the road. The Bronco had to be towed to a Ford dealership, where it is available for inspection. Ford previously claimed that it inspected my Bronco under a recall specifically pertaining to the sway bar system. Ford determined that the sway bar did not need to be replaced and closed the recall as completed. The vehicle has now experienced a failure involving the same system that Ford claims it previously inspected. I am concerned that the recall inspection may not have identified the problem or that the recall procedure or remedy was insufficient. The precise cause of the current failure is still being diagnosed. Approximately one and a half weeks before the incident, five replacement tires were installed by a mobile tire service. The replacement tires were the same type and size already used on the vehicle. There was no change in tire size and no tire related modification to the Bronco. Three lug nuts were also found loose following this incident. Approximately three months earlier, three lug nuts had come completely off the vehicle. Loose lug nuts were found again during a tire rotation approximately one month before this incident. I do not yet know whether the repeated loose lug nuts and the sway bar system failure are connected. This failure occurred whi

Safety Defect – Inadequate Warning and Insufficient Time to Respond to Alternator/Charging System Failure I am submitting this safety complaint regarding a dangerous condition in my 2022 Ford Bronco involving the charging system and alternator protection behavior. While driving, a warning related to the charging system/battery appeared. The message lacked sufficient clarity and urgency. The time from the warning until the 12-volt battery was fully depleted was extremely short—too brief to safely identify a location and pull completely out of traffic. Once the battery died: • The vehicle could not be placed in neutral, preventing it from being moved out of the travel lane. • There was insufficient power to operate the hazard lights. This occurred on a busy highway, leaving the vehicle disabled in traffic and creating a significant safety risk. I was fortunate it happened in daylight. Had it occurred at night without functioning hazard lights, the likelihood of a catastrophic accident would have been high. This aligns with known alternator/charging system issues on 2021-2022 Broncos addressed in Ford Technical Service Bulletin TSB 23-2238 (superseding TSB 22-2392). The combination of an unclear warning, inadequate response time, loss of neutral capability, and loss of hazard lights presents an unreasonable safety risk. I request that Ford investigate this condition, provide a permanent remedy, and improve the warning strategy so drivers receive clear, timely notice with enough

The structural fuel line located on top of the fuel tank ruptured, causing highly pressurized fuel to actively spray directly toward the hot exhaust piping on my 2022 Ford Bronco (44,657 miles). This failure created an immediate, catastrophic, and potentially fatal fire risk to myself and others. There were no warning lamps, error messages, or prior symptoms leading up to this failure; the severe leak was only discovered after a routine, short-distance trip to and from a local grocery store. The vehicle and the failed component are currently available for inspection upon request. To date, the vehicle has only been inspected by myself and a local Ford dealership. The dealership visually confirmed the leak but improperly misdiagnosed the structural line failure as "rodent damage" without providing any supporting physical evidence. However, multiple online owner forums suggest this specific fuel line failure is a known, systemic manufacturing concern. I escalated this issue to Ford Customer Service (Case #CXH-08762672-F7N2Y7), but Ford denied the warranty claim based solely on the dealership's misdiagnosis. My documented physical evidence clearly shows a component manufacturing rupture, not outside damage.

The vehicle experienced a sudden, severe mechanical engine condition resulting in a violent rough idle, loss of motive power, and a flashing Check Engine light with hard misfire codes on Cylinders 4, 5, and 6 (the entire driver-side engine bank). Additionally, the vehicle has been losing engine coolant internally with no external leaks or puddles on the ground, indicating fluid is entering the combustion chambers. These symptoms exactly mirror the mechanical pattern documented in Ford Safety Recall 24S55 (NHTSA Campaign Number 24V635) involving brittle engine intake valves fracturing. This vehicle has an August 2022 manufacture date and sits just outside the manufacturer's current restricted recall window, indicating that the defective component batch extends significantly past the reported dates. Component Availability: The engine is intact and available for federal inspection. Safety Risk: The sudden loss of engine power, hard stalling, and severe misfires while operating the vehicle creates an immediate risk of being rear-ended by traffic or stranded on a high-speed roadway without motive power. Dealer Confirmation/Inspection: These symptoms occurred recently at roughly 58,300 miles.

While operating the vehicle under load, the vehicle suffered a sudden and severe loss of engine performance, followed immediately by loud metallic banging from the engine bay. The vehicle lost all power and was immediately disabled (LIMP MODE), presenting an imminent highway safety hazard.The Physical Damage: Subsequent mechanical teardown revealed deep vertical cylinder wall scoring, heavy raw fuel residue in the engine oil pan, and a blown head gasket. Relationship to Active Safety Defect: This catastrophic block failure perfectly mirrors the progressive failure profile of NHTSA Campaign 25V455 / Ford Safety Recall 25S75 (Low-Pressure Fuel Pump Failure). Internal component degradation in the fuel tank delivery module dropped fuel pressure to the engine. Under turbo boost, this starvation induced an extreme, instantaneous lean-out condition. The resulting low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) exploded and shattered the internal piston rings (the metallic banging), leading to mechanical wall gouging, unburnt fuel wash into the lower crankcase, and a secondary blown head gasket. Request for Action: Ford's current VIN parameters for Recall 25S75 have not yet captured my specific vehicle despite it matching the exact production window, component setup, and catastrophic failure sequence. I am requesting that the NHTSA log this case as clear evidence of consequential engine destruction originating from the 25V455 pump defect, and evaluate whether Ford's recall scope must be expanded to pr

The Incident: While operating the vehicle under high load, the driver received an explicit "Service Engine Soon" powertrain malfunction alert stating: "The powertrain control module lost communication with the vehicle active grill shutter module for a period of time." Immediately following this warning, the engine experienced a severe loss of power, followed by loud metallic banging from the engine bay. The vehicle stalled completely and lost all motive power, creating an imminent highway safety hazard.The Physical Damage: Subsequent mechanical teardown by the dealership revealed terminal block destruction, including deep vertical cylinder wall scoring, heavy unburnt liquid gasoline residue in the engine oil pan, and a blown head gasket.Relationship to Active Safety Defect: This catastrophic engine failure mirrors the progressive failure profile of NHTSA Campaign 25V455 / Ford Safety Recall 25S75 (Low-Pressure Fuel Pump Failure). In this EcoBoost architecture, the Active Grill Shutter (AGS) module shares critical voltage paths, grounding blocks, and wiring looms with the engine management and fuel delivery systems. The sudden network communication loss is diagnostic proof of a severe voltage drop or electrical short caused by the high-friction fuel pump degradation detailed in Recall 25S75. This circuit failure instantly starved the engine of fuel under turbo boost, inducing an extreme lean-out condition. The resulting pre-ignition forces violently shattered the internal pist

While driving on an interstate it was determined that the engine walls over compressed and blew out the sides of the motor of my 2022 Ford Bronco. The Bronco has 67,000 miles on it which shows a clear manufacturer defect. It is available to be inspected as well to confirm. My wife’s and unborn child’s safety was put at risk by losing acceleration and losing control of the vehicle briefly as it began to shake from the engine misfiring. This easily could have caused a serious wreck had more traffic been present at the time. The dealership has not been able to confirm this on other cars. The engine has been inspected by a Ford Dealership. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the failure and only appeared shortly after the engine over-compressed and began to shake.

Differential carrier replacement due to metal contmination being found in differential during oil change and a transmission overhaul due to excessive wear of(clutch container, CDF bushing, forward hub and front support bushings). They also noted a sticking valve in the main control on my 2022 Ford Bronco 2.7L V6 when taken in to dealership to evaluate vehichle under warranty due to ongoing intermittent thump/clunking noise when coming to a stop and accelerating from a stop as well as when backing up from a stop and while driving as well, intermittent loud metal slapping sound at speeds over 60 mph, intermittent jerking of vehichle when cycling through gears, unexpected downshift at high speeds. After differential replacement and transmission overhaul due to excessive wear while under warranty, my vehichle continues to experience the same symptoms and problems and feel this is a safety issue.

2022 Ford Bronco: questions buyers ask

Is the 2022 Ford Bronco a good car?

Going by the federal record, it is one of the Bronco years to avoid: owners filed 386 complaints, 4.7 times as many as a typical Bronco year. The most common complaint is about the wipers (16%).

What is the most common problem with the 2022 Ford Bronco?

The wipers: 63 of the 386 complaints (16%) are about it. Owners most often say it sets off warning lights on the dash (11%). The typical report comes at 1,673 miles.

How many recalls does the 2022 Ford Bronco have?

23 safety recalls on file with NHTSA, the most recent filed Jul 20, 2026. The largest, 25V315000, covered 1,076,138 vehicles. Recall repairs are free at a dealer; whether a specific car still has one open depends on its VIN.

At what mileage do 2022 Ford Bronco problems start?

Half of the complaints that record an odometer reading came in before 26,000 miles. For the wipers the midpoint is 1,673 miles.

Has NHTSA investigated the 2022 Ford Bronco?

Yes, 2 times. The latest, PE24019 ("Low-pressure fuel pump failure"), was opened Jul 29, 2024 and closed Sep 19, 2025.

Are there service bulletins for the 2022 Ford Bronco?

The manufacturer filed 281 technical service bulletins and other notices for it with NHTSA, most of them about the electrical system (42), the transmission (35) and the body and frame (34). They include a service campaign, 25N17, filed Mar 25, 2026. A bulletin is a repair instruction to dealers, not a recall: the fix is usually free only under warranty.

Reading this record

Complaint volume is well above typical for a single model year.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
