When coming to a stop and pressing on the breaks it periodically will make s sound and then there is about a 2O SEC DELAY before coming to complete stop. If I am driving downhill the delay is longer. This scares my since I drive over 100 miles a day for work. I have reached out to FORD and the manufacture and they still do not have a fix to the issue.
2021 Ford Bronco Sport brakes complaints
Page 5 of 5: complaints 101 to 128 of 128, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have a brake recall related to a safety defect. The car does not stop quick enough at highways speeds, however ford has not offered a remedy in a timely manner. I have been to 4 different Ford dealerships with no success. All four have informed me it would take a week to get the part, to later change the answer and say its unavailable on backorder. I can't get my brakes repaired. Additionally, the back door does not lock under any circumstances. The car is unsafe and unsecure from the inside and out.
I had two recalls which one of them was my breaks. I went about 3 months ago and they told me they didn't have the part and they would place the order and I would get a call as soon as it arrived. I waited and a new recall came in saying there was a leak in the engine oil and it could cause a fire on my car. I called Ford after I made an appointment online, when I spoke to the lady she said she had no idea and all she could do was made me an appointment. I decided to drive myself in person to this dealer Big Valley Ford and let them know what was happening since my app and my car both said I had I HAS 0% OIL LIFE and i needed oil changed ASAP. according to my sticker on the window from the previous oil changed it said I had over 1000 miles before oil change, yet my car and app were telling me i had 0% oil life. When i went to them specially after knowing there was a recall for oil leak they took my car and said they would inspected, they called me again and said there was nothing wrong with it and to ignored it, I never got a paper or anything with such information. I asked about the other recall and if my parts were finally in and the guy said there is no record or order for that. He sent me to speak to someone else and when I did they lied to me saying my car parts had been order. When I left a lady call me saying she needed pictures of my car to be able to order them and I told her someone had already said they were order that morning and she said no orders were never place. I drive back to them again and I live 20 minutes away, If i didn't show up in person again they would had never had made the order I had been waiting for over 3 months. As of today I do not longer feel safe with this car and I don't want it, yet I dont know what to do to solve this I need help please!!
Purchased 2021 Ford Bronco Sport in 9/21 and was made aware of safety recall from Ford in 12/21 stating problem with front brakes to be repaired 2nd quarter of 2022. Took vehicle to dealership 4/22 and replaced front pads only. Took vehicle back 2 weeks later due to grinding noise coming from brakes and reduced braking distance. When the vehicle was inspected told nothing is wrong when clearly the vehicle is not safe.
Loud screeching noise when backing up, seems to be harder to stop when applying brakes when needed to make a quick stop, been to dealer and he told me that the noise was normal! And couldn’t duplicate the reduced braking issue!

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.

Vehicle has a recall and manufacturer is not able to fix this. When asked about the timelines within which it can be fixed, ford mentioned that it would be more than 6 months. More than 6 months is not a reasonable time when there is a risk of crash. I wanted ford to either replace the vehicle or provide a rental car. They are not able to do that either. So I have to either take risk and continue driving the vehicle which might result in a crash or not use the vehicle for more than 6 months. Neither of those seem reasonable. Need ford to provide a solution to the problem instead of simply neglecting the request.
