2021 FORD BRONCO SPORT Complaints

I had my vehicle taken to address its recall on the breaks. Within a few weeks time, my vehicle began creating excessive break dust on the front breaks and began making a grinding sound when backing up. I had my vehicle brought back into the dealership to have those items looked at and staff brushed this all off as being normal. However, the breaks never behaved this way before the "recall fix" and I'm concerned that all of these issues may point to a bigger issue. Did I buy a lemon or is this truly normal?

The contact owns a 2021 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that there was an abnormal squealing sound coming from the vehicle while in reverse(R). There was no warning light illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer where she was informed that her vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V922000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic).

The car started chugging check engine light came on car studdered before actually turning over.

Vehicle completely shut down while driving. No working lights and unable to put vehicle in neutral. Was stuck in a lane of traffic with nothing working. Same issue happened less than 2 weeks ago, dealership had the vehicle for 7 days and said they found nothing wrong and couldn’t fix it. Tow truck driver told us it was the second Bronco he tower in 2 days with the same problem.

I was waiting to turn at a red light when the engine shut down and I lost all power including all lights and locking mechanisms. I was unable to get it off the road because it was locked in gear. It had to be towed and dropped off at the dealer. It is still there at this time.

MAKES A LOUD MOANING SOUND WHEN REVERSING AFTER VEHICLE HAS SAT FOR A FEW HOURS. BRAKE PADS ARE FINE, DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN BRAKING WHILE GOING FORWARD. ONLY BRAKING WHILE GOING IN REVERSE.

Failed Window Assembly in Tail Gate resulting in broken tail gate window. Driving on A1A, Melbourne Beach FL, 630 am September 20th, 2022 45 mph heard very loud boom and saw that the high pressure cylinders that lift the back window blew apart and shattered the tail gate window obstructing my vision out of the rear window. The spontaneous combustions of the window assembly blew up and almost made me loose control of the vehicle. Nothing hit the window from inside or outside of the car. This car has been in maintenance on three other occasions to have the electrically operated systems repaired. I believe this is a manufacture defect. There is no explanation how this serious incident occurred and I fear for my safety driving this vehicle. I have filed a BBB Auto Claim, case number [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

When accelerating, there is a lag in shifting. The engine revs, but the vehicle doesn’t move, like it’s in neutral. This happens in normal mode, eco mode, and sport mode (the only modes tested so far). There is also a grinding noise sometimes when vehicle is lit in “Drive”. This is a safety problem, because it happened as my wife was turning onto a busy road, and the vehicle would not accelerate. Had to take foot off accelerator, then try acceding again a few times to finally get vehicle to start moving.

Vehicle got stuck in gear while traveling on highway. I would accelerate and the RPMs would shoot up but I was losing speed. I had to pull over, turn off the car and turn it back on. Some Ford dealerships told me they won’t even look at the transmission while others have a two week lead time to just look at it. I have no other cars to drive yet may or may not be offered a loaner depending on the problem. This is a huge safety risk because I can’t be going highway speeds and then lose speed and be going 25mph on a 55mph road! I am still waiting to get my car seen and there were no lights that showed on the dash.
