While driving on the interstate at 65-70mph, my Bronco Sport lost all acceleration randomly. The engine would rev, but there was no acceleration. I had no indication of errors (no engine light, etc.) Before this happened, I was using the adaptive cruise control. I had to pull over and power cycle the vehicle to fix the issue. This was while traffic was busy with cars flying by me. I have not taken it to a dealership or had it diagnosed yet, but this shouldn't be something that happens anyways. Not only was this scary, it was a huge safety risk as it could have caused a wreck.

This morning I was driving to work going approximately 45 mph and the engine in my 2021 Ford Bronco shut off/stalled. Thank GOD there was no one behind me at that time. The dash board lit up and a message appeared saying "put the car in park and restart the engine" There was nothing touched on the car... not the gear shift... nothing to cause the car to shut off. I will contact the Dealership asap but what also concerns me is that fact that I have been trying to get a separate issue resolved regarding a recall. The dealer ship is still trying to get the part to remedy the recall but I dont think the two issues are related.

Catastrophic engine failure

2nd time in a month this car has shut off completely while in motion. Both times in an intersection. No power to even turn on hazards to let traffic know I was stuck. Finally gets some power and hazards are able to come on but they are faulty and glitch, do not stay consistently on. Ford had no answers for me a month ago and just sent me home.

While driving the vehicle the warning system activated and the entire car shut down. I was stranded in an intersection of a busy street during a heavy traffic period. I was unable to start the vehicle, use my hazards, or put the car in neutral to push it to a safe location.

This car has had so many recalls on it and it does not stop. Gibbons Ford does not have windshield wiper clips; there is constant recalls on this car. What are my options?

this has happened twice to me. First time, I was driving around a roundabout - and the engine kicked off and there were a lot of alerts across the screen. I was safely able to coast off the road and onto the side where I sat for a little bit trying to restart it. After pushing the start button several times - it started back up and I was on my way. Most recently, last week - I was driving on the highway and the engine died and so many alerts were going across the screen. I couldn't pay much attention to the errors because a semi almost rammed my back end. I was on an incline on an off ramp and was trying to coast to the side as much as I could. It was too scary to monitor what was happening on the screen. I sat there trying...

Per Master Tech Bo at CamelBack Ford in Phoenix, AZ - He stated he had a 2021 Bronco Sport in his shop for 3 months with the same issue mine has had now 3 times and mine has been "Repaired" twice. He could not find out why the vehicle was stalling/losing power while in motion. I proceeded to look for an answer and had asked if that Bronco Sport he is referring to is still in his shop.. his answer was no. I asked then what was the issue, his response was a failing Guide-Pin in the transmission not being an exact sit in the fitting position. I had my vehicle towed to Chapman Ford of Scottsdale, AZ for the 3rd time. They started a Inspection/Diagnoses on my vehicle without knowing at all why my vehicle was towed in. Then proceeded to not listen to my request of inspecting the...

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.

Catastrophic engine failure 16 AUG 2022. Ford Bronco Sport with the 2.7 engine, some 2,800 miles, towed to repair facility Austin TX, can be inspected there, notify for details. Safety of all at risk, car in "deep sleep" with no warning, fortunately not yet on interstate highway from residential/small business area. Multiple warning signals appeared in vehicle only as engine in death throes. This problem, we find, is now under investigation by the NHTSA. No information on fix by Ford but appears to require full engine replacement under warranty. Inspection underway today at non-Ford repair facility. Note: Vehicle operated by New Mexico owner's adult daughter in Austin TX.

Within seconds of parking and turning off my vehicle I heard a loud pop and saw gray smoke billowing out from under the hood of my 2021 Ford Bronco Sport. Within 10 minutes the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames and destroyed two other vehicles and did additional property damage. The fire investigator stated that the fire started in the lower right front of the engine compartment but many of the parts were now incinerated including the aluminum wheels that melted into a puddle. No warning lamps or other indicators were present. Insurance representatives are currently inspecting the vehicle.

I was driving in Atlanta in 4 lanes of heavy traffic. My new Bronco just started slowing down and I was almost killed by traffic swerving around me. The message said deactivated switch and fuel injector faulty. Then Bronco completely stopped and would not crank. 100 degree heat in bad part of town. Stranded and scared. After being towed, the deactivated switch replaced in Ford dealership in Georgia. No loaner given. After 2 weeks at my expense, I get car back. 2 months later it happens again. Now, it’s in dealership for third time for 2 more weeks. Waiting to hear what’s wrong. The dealership has ordered fuel injector replacements. This is a brand new Bronco with about 4k miles. I am distressed and disappointed.

I started my car on 2/15. Drove about .5 miles down the street through a fast food place. Drove another .9 miles down the street. I heard a pop and pulled over immediately and the car was already on fire. The car had around 3542 miles on it. I had just leased it in September. Ford says this was the only vehicle that this has happened too. The inspection is happening with the insurance company as well as Ford Motor Company. No prior issues and no warning signs on the car before the fire.
