Filed Oct 4, 2026 · CA

When I drive this car there is a carbon monoxide smell leaking into the vehicle. It also sputters when accelerating or shifting. And the windshield wipers random start.

I purchased the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport in August of 2025. There were issues after about a week with all kinds of messages of components not working cycling through constantly on the display. The electric brake would engage on its own while parked and had to be shut off before I could go forwards after starting the vehicle. I took it to the dealership where I bought it and after a few days they said it was a batter issue and replaced it at no cost to me. It worked okay for a short time and then I had the same issues and now added to those were it wouldn't start for at least 15 minutes and several tries. Cruise Control could not be used and the turn signals would not work while all of the messages were displaying. The windshield wipers would only work at the highest setting and the rear wipers would not work at all. I took it to another Ford Dealership and they said it was an electrical wiring issue that they found. The High Speed Cam wiring is what they found a break in and they fixed it and cleared the codes. I paid $450 for this repair. Just 4 days later the issues have returned. Messages about components not working, this time the right turn signal would not shut off. I am concerned about the safety issues while driving with my turn signal stuck on. I called the same Ford dealership and they can get it in on Friday so that I can have a loaner car. I just don't feel safe driving the Bronco. I don't have the money to loose on trying to trade it in with these issue. Help!!!!

The evaporative emissions system failure involving the purge valve and vapor canister purge valve is a recurrent issue on this car and has been reported by hundreds if not thousand of bronco sport owners. All recall for 1.5L and I am sure the badlands have the same parks and is not included in the recall. less than 60,00o mile with a check engine light on. The safety issue that arises from this is that we are emitting more fuel vapors into the atmosphere. Please add recall to cover Badland if they contain same parks as 1.5L!!!! Also the windshield wiper pump did not work. I can not clean the windshield wen needing to see out of it. i have to pull over and clean at local gas station.

First, the car was brought in 6/2/24 to take care of the open recall. I am still receiving notices but the dealership assured me the recall dealing with the battery was addressed. I came to a stop at a red light and the car shut down (all screens black). I attempted to restart. Car would not start but the radio, wipers, and screens flashing warnings intermittently came on. Could not turn on hazard lights. I had to climb out of the passenger side to avoid traffic and then attempted to direct traffic around the car. (Red light is in a curve making it difficult to see stopped vehicle.). Waited about 30 minutes for my husband. He was able to start the car and pull out of the road. We were not comfortable driving it so had it towed to dealer. Prior to the shutdown there were no warnings. The car was running well prior to this incident. It is still at the dealer. They told me battery drain, communication issues, and that they could see the error messages that flashed after the shutdown. The car was purchased in August 2021. It has 15,479 miles on it and most recently is driven 5 miles per or less during the week. I can’t find the date but the battery has been changed once already. Had this happened on some of the other rides I drive, I would have been part of a terrible crash.

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?

I live in northern Indiana where humidity is high in the summer. We often have nights with a low temperature in the 60s to low 70s, with heavy dew, and sometimes fog. I park the Bronco in the garage overnight, and the windows are clear in the morning. I go to work before sunrise. With the climate control (With: Manual Temperature Control) set for no, or low heat, and outside air, everything is fine till about 10 minutes into the drive. The air conditioner turns on (with no indication that it is on, except the ice cold air coming out of the vents). Then the windshield starts to fog up on the outside because of the high humidity outside and a cold windshield. There is now way to turn off the air conditioner, except to turn off the climate control. I have tried turning up the temperature control to compensate, only to have the air conditioner turn off after several minutes, then I get hot air, and it is a never-ending task to try to control this as the temperature from the vents goes up and down. When the windshield fogs up on the outside, the wipers can;t effectively clear it. This hassle is also distracting to the driver. I know of no reason to have a humidity sensor turn on the air conditioner. This was verified by the dealer that the humidity sensor is what is turning on the AC.
