2021 FORD BRONCO SPORT Complaints

I am currently on my Third battery. Prior to getting this third car battery, there was numerous electrical issues randomly occurring. I read that there is a current investigation going on with Bronco Sports just stopping, could it be batteries failing and not being g detected?? Just wanted you to know. The first time I had dealership replace battery, they said it tested "fine" I had to insist something be done, which led them to try replacing the original battery. Since it's happened before the dealership just replaces the batteries and then stuff works normally. Can't recall dates off hand, but at home I have paperwork with dates.

[XXX] Vehicle would not start(not even crank) while parked in the garage. Could not jump start, had to be dragged out of garage(could not put in neutral) and hauled on rollback to Blaise Alexander Ford Lewisburg, Pa. Dealership kept for 4 days and charged battery and could not replicate the problem. [XXX] Vehicle while driving message of Vehicle Connection Error came up on screen and then all gauges blacked out, turned off of road and died, could not restart, could not jump start and would not crank. Again had to be drug onto rollback (could not put in neutral) and towed to Blaise Alexander Ford Lewisburg, pa , kept for 6 days and tested battery, could not charge it and replaced it at our cost. Vehicle was at 35,098miles. They could not replicate the problem. Do not feel safe driving this vehicle if it shuts down randomly at times.

Low coolant and smell of something hiring while driving on highway states away from home visiting family. Pulled over and no coolant in reservoir. No warning lights on dash either. Was determined by Ford Dealership on 11/27/2023 that my water pump was failing, couldn't tell me why no low coolant light came on dash. Water pump was replaced 01/02/2024 under warranty.

Touch screen and dash blackout while driving. They just go completely dark. Someone’s it restarts and comes back on but if it’s dark outside I can’t see how fast I’m going.

The car suddenly started jerking in and out of gear and then completely stalled. The gear shift would not move and the car would not start. The car had to be towed to the dealership. Their service advisor stated, "DTCs are PSI related codes & metal in fluid. Believe internal transmission issues are present." There were no problems noticed or earning lights prior to this incident. The car is kept in a garage overnight and has mostly highway miles. It is regularly services by certified shops.

The contact owns a 2021 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle to the dealer for regular maintenance, he was informed that the shock absorbers were leaking. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 36,000.

No dashboard activation upon entering the vehicle this morning nor would the vehicle start. After a dozen attempts to start the vehicle with no response whatsoever, the vehicle finally started (green start button blinked, but no dashboard activity on any screen). Promptly attempted to put the vehicle in reverse but it immediately died. Would not start again. Online troubleshooting led us to detach/reattach the negative battery cable, which seemed to resolve the issue. No apparent battery or cable issues upon user inspection. Drove the vehicle yesterday without issue or warning to indicate an issue might arise. Have not had this issue previously.

Slowing down at a red light, getting into a left hand turning lane there was a "thud" sound and then the car completely shut off. Nothing worked, screens went blank, no hazards, no lights. We were stuck in the middle of the road with no way to even get the car out of the way. Every once in a while the green would come on or an alarm would go off but quickly went back to black. Tow truck was able to jump it to get it on the truck but half way through the ride the engine died once more. There was no warning at all. If this would have happened on the highway, it would have been catastrophic. After learning about this happening to others and hearing that it may happen again, I will not feel safe in this car moving forward: car is a 2021 Bronco Sport, 52,000 miles. Please do something!!!
