2024 FORD BRONCO SPORT Complaints

While driving on the freeway, my Ford's sunroof spontaneously shattered. There were no vehicles in front of me, I live in San Diego County and the weather was in the mid-60's and I did not have my air on. It sounded like an explosion or gunshot. I immediately pulled off on to the shoulder and saw the shattered sunroof, and since I was about to exit to my house, I continued home and called the California Highway Patrol to report a potential gunshot to my vehicle. However, when the office arrived, he believed it was an implosion from the inside of the vehicle outward. This did appear to be the correct assessment as there was no glass inside the vehicle (I had seen glass fragments falling around the outside of my vehicle and in front of my windshield at the time of the explosive sound). Also, the glass was bent out towards the top of the vehicle consistent with an inside to outside breakage. I took it to my local Ford dealership and Ford has accepted responsibility for the defect and will replace my damaged sunroof at their cost.

The contact owns a 2024 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that while driving 75 MPH, the vehicle started to lose power. The WRENCH symbol warning light was illuminated with a message of a failure with the power train displayed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer however, the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The dealer replaced the knock sensors, and a software update was performed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted while driving for long distances. On another occasion, while driving from State to State, the wrench symbol warning light illuminated with the power train failure message displayed. The contact also received a notification on his cellphone. The vehicle was repaired by another dealer; however, the contact and the dealer expected that the failure could recur. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,000.

I Was in Reverse backing out and stopped with the brake and rolled the gear dial to drive until foot off brake and it stayed stuck in reverse and I moved backwards and hit a car behind me. I braked again and looked to make sure I was in drive, And I was. Then, i took my foot off thee brake and it moved forward. Also I notice a big delay in drive after having brake applied. I think the gears are sticking. Or even a 2-4 second delay to switch from gear to gear.

The steering is temporarily disabled when the vehicle is in the auto off/fuel saver mode. I had an approaching EMS vehicle that I was almost struck by because my vehicle was off due to that feature. The steering wheel was not responsive.

I’d like to open a customer concern case. While I was driving on the freeway on, my gas tank was punctured after hitting debris in the road. It was a standard highway situation—not off-roading or anything extreme. The fact that the gas tank was damaged to the point of leaking or requiring repair is very concerning. It was a very large rupture. I believe the underbody protection may not be adequate, and I’m worried this could be a design or safety issue. I’ve taken photos and have a repair estimate. It was a very dangerous situation as one spark from heat could have sent my brand new Bronco sport into flames. This all happened on the 5 freeway on the grapevine in California. I consider myself very lucky

When the car has been driven for more than 20 minutes it has erratic shifting issues shifting up or down. It is most notable when in stop and go traffic. Four times it has given me a wrench on the dash cluster for Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power. At the time it suggests to contact a dealer. I pull over as soon as I can, shut the vehicle off, and restarted and the wrench goes away. It will then drive normal again. It has happened on 8/25/24, 10/5/24, and twice on 3/22/25.

Auto start / stop feature stopped working after recall 24S24. Took to dealership where battery was diagnosed at 57%. Had no indication battery was failing. Recall reprogram did not resolve issue.
