Within minutes of turning off my vehicle, I get the alert “ my vehicle equipped with FordPass(TM) Connect has entered Deep Sleep mode to conserve battery energy. Remote features including start/stop and lock/unlock may be temporarily unavailable because your battery” we have had it in the ford service center several times to try to resolve this issue and they can not figure out what the problem is. They have checked several times and the Battery is not low, reset the system and replaced the module under the passenger seat. Nothing has resolved this. This has been going on for over a year now.

The wind shields on these vehicles are cracking in abundance. My Bronco wind shield cracked on the passenger side from the edge across the window. No rock hit it. I just came out one morning and it was cracked. I've read many complaints on line from owners having this problem. Now you can't get new wind shields because there have been so many issues, they are on back order. I tried to contact Ford but they referred me to you. I do not believe this is normal.

Traveling with cruise control set at 78mph. Service engine light came on without warning and vehicle couldn’t maintain speed. Exited highway to determine what was wrong. Pulled into gas station parking lot and the power brakes failed. The vehicle had two recalls for brakes serviced on 7/7/22. The vehicle is being towed to a dealership as the vehicle had less than 12,400 miles and has been owned less than one year. Any/all components available for inspection. If driver had not had wherewithal to exit highway when they did, there certainly could have been a fatality incident.

After I turned on the car, unbeknownst to me, the Ford Bronco stayed revved up and it did not slow down. I then switched from park to reverse and the Bronco went so fast (>4000rpm) that I ended up hitting the tree so hard that the tree was uprooted. The car was not driveable and it had to be towed. This is under progressive insurance claim: 22-3913700. The insurance company would not check the "inside" of the car (etc...transmission, electrical, etc...) as they say this is prior to the accident. I have called the Ford dealership for assistance several times to report this and for them to take a look at the inside of the car, but they have not returned my messages.
