2022 FORD BRONCO Complaints

Clutch pedal went to floor and didn't return. The accumulator on part # MB3Z-7A512-A failed and broke apart causing a complete loss of brake fluid in the clutch hydraulic system rendering the clutch completely inoperable.

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.

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 in service. I have legitimate concerns that the hardtop could fail at speed or during an accident creating hazard or injury.

Simply filing a complaint for the recall on the fuel pump that still has not been remedied over a year ago. I’m hearing stories of people having to replace their fuel pumps and ford not covering it even though it’s an open recall. Hoping to get more pressure on them to get a remedy. Thank you for all you do!

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.

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.

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.

3 different incidents have came up with recalls that have been going on for awhile this a working vehicle that makes my money to pay for the loans, which for over a year have not made me any money costing me to lose money out of my own pocket, ford has not been willing to work with because it’s a used vehicle and I didn’t barrow money from to purchase this has been going on for more than a year it is ridiculous!!

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 while the vehicle was being driven, disabled the vehicle, and left me stranded. I am requesting that NHTSA document and investigate whether the sway bar recall inspection or remedy was inadequate, or whether another safety defect exists in my 2022 Ford Bronco.
