2021 FORD BRONCO SPORT Forward Collision Avoidance Automatic Emergency Braking Problems

The brakes make a loud and terrible squeeking noise (moan noise) when driving the vehicle in reverse and braking. There is something terribly wrong and may initiate a problem at a later date when driving forward. Ford is aware of the problem and issued TSB22-2326 in August 2022, revised to 23-2041 in February 2023, revised to 23-2308 in October 2023 and revised again to 25-2143 in April 2025. THEY HAVE SUCCESSFULLY DELAYED THE RECALL FOR THREE YEARS NOW THAT ALL 2021 BRONCO SPORTS ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. This is rediculous and dangerous.

Since the purchase of the Bronco Sport in 2021, I have intermittently taken it in for required service. However, there have been times when I have had to take it in for hearing noise coming from when I make turns, and it sounded like my break pads were making the sound of wear. A recent report did address the break pad concern, and they were replaced. Intuitively something told me to check my fluid levels and the engine air filter, along with the cabin air filter. They both needed replacing, which I did on my own. The mechanic who put on my break asked me questions about the Bronco, I explained to him that I was having issues with take off, and have had to take it in for recalls since make the purchase. He asked me to open the hood. What he found was oil leaking around was oil...

While driving vehicle will flash place hands on wheel while hands are on the wheel. It will then turn off sound system and cut off adaptive features until I shake my steering wheel irrationally to the left and right. It will also jerk the vehicle into other lanes to try and correct to stay in lane, while I'm inside of the lines issuing the adaptive driving features. If there is a break in the lines, ie: turning lane or intersection the adaptive wants to jerk course into other lanes. While driving down the expressway, if a car on either side brakes around me the collision control takes over and slams on the brakes. Most of the limits near me are 70!! Going 70 and slamming down to 50 before i can regain control has almost gotten me killed several times here in Florida!! I've informed dealership, but they claim the...

Around 08/22 backup camera failed and now there is a dent in the tailgate area. I have documentation from the dealership, finally that the backup camera was not working properly. On about May 23, 2023, I stopped at a local grocery store for just a few items. When I came back out my car would not even attempt to turn over (approx. 24,000 miles). Had to wait three hours for roadside assistance to use a jump box to get it started (would not jump-start like a normal vehicle). The next morning it was dead again, and I had to call an Uber to get my child to school, not acceptable. I took it to the dealership again, and after three days they replaced the battery.....I had not even owned the vehicle for two years, it had 6 miles on it when I bought it, and it needs a new battery?...

The contact rented a 2021 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 30 MPH, the vehicle stopped unintendedly without the brake pedal being depressed. The vehicle then lost power and was not able to be restarted. The vehicle was towed to Enterprise Rental Car. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 25,000.

3 systems go out suddenly while driving and control becomes unstable. Return to dealer 2 times to have it "recalibrated" and it went back out within 3 days intermittently working and mostly failing. Dealer said it was do to calibration with the camera and 360 technology needing to be re-calibrated. The vehicle has never been in an accident.

Charging System The vehicle safety systems and monitoring systems shut down due to battery charging system failures. Problem confirmed by Ford engineers. And Ford service where the vehicle is still sitting. Vehicle has been at dealership 90% since 8/2022. They and Ford engineers do not know what’s wrong or why it will not keep a charge. Battery replaced, alternator and more but it still is unsafe to drive. Have too many warnings to count. And we have taken it to dealer for repair but nothing fixes it. And even the Ford engineers do not understand why it fails.

The car is stalling on hills!then the car restarts and goes!my auto parking brake automatically comes on and you cannot get it to release! And I have notice the car wanting g to ride to the right of the rd !

Both interior liftgate lights inoperative. However, the "liftgate ajar light", and came on without warning as I was driving. I had not opened the litigate. Radio system skips & pops. fails to load tor loads slowly. Brakes failed to fully engage quickly on a slow turn, causing a total loss accident. Vehicle has 645 miles on it. I love my Bronco Sport. But..is it safe to drive if I order a new one? Can there be a cross check done by VIN to ensure I'm not getting one with the same problem? Specifically, the brakes? The brake issue worries me Please advise. Thank you for your help. Sincerely, [XXX]. Vehicle purchased at Pundmann Ford, Saint Charles.
