I am writing regarding my new Ford Bronco vehicle, VIN: [XXX] , purchased in November 2024, currently with 7,151.5 km. I recently received Ford’s official notice advising that the engine block heater in this vehicle may develop a coolant leak which could result in an electrical short circuit when the system is plugged in. This is a serious manufacturing and safety defect that existed at the time of sale. Due to the nature of this hazard, I am not operating the vehicle, as it has been placed it on storage insurance. The vehicle has not been driven since receiving Ford’s notice in order to mitigate risk and prevent potential damage or injury. Under Manitoba’s Consumer Protection Act and the Sale of Goods Act, a new vehicle must be of acceptable quality, safe, durable, and fit for its ordinary purpose. A vehicle delivered with an admitted safety defect fails to meet...

Tail lights sensors / control are defective in some way. To be clear the tail lights at the rear of the vechile work perfectly fine and are very bright. They light up during lock and unlock. Also if you set headlight to on when parked. Also note brake lights still work in all situations. However. When they are set to auto at times they don’t light at all even at night. Also if in auto every time when you shift into reverse or drive they also go out. Took video of this issue after two dealer visits they said they were unable to replicate. They are suppose to replace the vechile control unit next week. I have my doubts that’s the issue. I’m willing to wager it’s the body control unit that’s the issue which my vechile doesn’t have for some reason because it wasn’t equipped with the tow package.

The contact owns a 2024 Ford Bronco. The contact stated that while driving and coming to a stop, the Engine Auto Start-Stop system failed to engage, and the engine revved significantly, causing the vehicle to move forward unintendedly. The contact stated that the failure persisted while standing on the brake pedal, requiring the contact to shift to neutral(N) or to park(P) to stop the engine. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on two occasions. The contact stated that the vehicle nearly moved into oncoming traffic on the first occasion and the vehicle nearly crashed into the rear of another vehicle on the second occasion. The failure also required the contact to steer the vehicle away from another vehicle or to shut off the engine to avoid a crash. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the failure might be related to a low...

While vehicle was on a boat ramp the vehicle”s gear shift was put into the park position. The vehicle’s park gear failed to engage and it continued to roll backwards. Additional attempts to then put the vehicle into drive also failed to respond. My brand new 2024 Ford Bronco that only had just over 2300 miles on it, continued to roll backwards until it was completely submerged underwater. The vehicle had to be pulled out of the water by another truck!!! With my wife and children watching I was fortunate enough to escape without drowning!!!!

Driving at 65 mph on an interstate highway the infotainment console suddenly shut down and then the entire vehicle lost acceleration and came to quick slow crawl. There was NO braking, accelerating or changing 2wd/4wd modes before this happened. This posed a safety hazard to driver behind me as I did not have time to apply the brake pedal, not sure if the brake lights would have worked anyways in afterthought. There were NO warning lamps, messages or any other symptoms of the problem prior to failure. It just instantly happened. The vehicle was driven with the slow crawl off the interstate to the nearest parking lot. The dealer was notified by phone immediately with no remediation. The vehicle was shut down completely and restarted after a few minutes. The infotainment console slowly turned on. This is the second time this has happened. The vehicle has been to the dealer's...

On Monday Jan 27 2025 i took my 2024 ford bronco in for routine maintenance and check up. Upon completion of these services my 2024 ford bronco was in terrific condition. Everything came back great they even coded it and it was good. By Wednesday [XXX] at [XXX] there was an issue with the Bronco it wouldn't detect the key fob it said no key detected on the dashboard. So I got my second key Fob and it also wasn't detected so then went to get new batteries for the key fob the car was not drivable at that time switched batteries twice still no detection. Called service at Rivertown ford to get assistance service person came to us because there was nowhere we could find the emergency fail safe that all the bronco of this year has since it's a push start button to start car. He did find...

The contact owns a 2024 Ford Bronco. The contact stated that after parking and turning off the vehicle, the "Steering Assist Fault, Service Required" message was displayed. The message disappeared after restarting the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The failure recurred while pressing the Auto Start/Stop button without depressing the brake pedal. The engine revved abnormally loud while the vehicle was parked. The messages "Steering Assist Fault, Service Required", "Pre-Collision Assist Not Available," and "Service Advancetrac" were displayed. The ABS and battery warning lights were illuminated. The engine then inadvertently turned off, and the radio switched on and off. Roadside Assistance arrived on the scene and the contact stated that when the tow truck driver started the vehicle, the messages and warning lights were no longer illuminated or displayed. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer, but...

Since I purchased my vehicle I noticed that the left blinker would turn on sometimes when I put my right blinker on and made a right turn. Usually when you use your right blinker and make a right hand turn, as soon as your vehicle straightens out the blinker should then go off. Instead, this triggers the left blinker to turn on by itself. I am very concerned for my safety and my children's safety as others my think I am turning and I am not. I actually just got off the phone with the department and also got your email address, and will also email my concerns as well. This has been "attempted" to be fixed by Ford, and has been unsucessful. They currently do not have a "fix" for this safety problem. I purchased the bronco in july 2024 and has 10k miles on it.
