Smelling fuel strong when driving and the engine lags and almost stalls when coming to a stop and going very dangerous
On 12/22/2025, my fiancé and I purchased a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport from LaFontaine Ford in Lansing, MI. During the initial purchase, we were not aware of any recalls or vehicle defects with the Bronco Sport. Roughly one month later, the check engine light came on, and after a thorough vehicle inspection, we were notified that there was a recall on the vehicle in regards to bad fuel injector(s), and that we needed to bring the vehicle back to the dealership for a computer update. After dropping the vehicle off at the dealership, we were notified that the engine was blown due to a cylinder misfire as a result of a bad fuel injector. We were also advised that the dealership had already completed the computer update prior to our purchase and cleared out the codes (critical misfire). The negligence of the dealership put my fiancé in extreme danger with selling us a vehicle with a critical fault that could cause a vehicle fire! The problem still has not been remedied as Ford is asking up to pay $3,483.00 for a new engine with them covering $4,457.00. I believe all of this should be covered under the recall and/or powertrain warranty since this issue has been well documented with Ford Bronco's prior to us purchasing the vehicle.

There has been a recall on this issue for 4 months with no options to have it fixed. The recall clearly states that a fire may start under your hood due to the issue, which seems like an issue that should be addressed asap.

As you may know, my Ford Bronco 2022 is under the federal safety agency Recall 25V467 as of July 2025. October is approaching, and so far, Ford Motor Company has not found any remedy for this problem, which can not only cause a spontaneous engine fire, but can also cause the death of those inside the vehicle or a serious accident if it occurs while driving. My vehicle is for daily use, and I have to transport my son to school every day, risking his life and mine, with the uncertainty of the vehicle catching fire. I ask that you consider requiring Ford Motor Company to collect these vehicles or exchange them for others of the same value that are not at risk.

Vehicle stutters when driving at slower speeds, usually between 22-27 MPH. After purchasing my vehicle used I have found that others have been reporting the same issue, to include in brand new Bronco Sports, and have been advised that is just how they are. Switching to sport mode does seem to help but the stutters occurs at different speeds. There has been no known part identified as causing the issue. There are no warnings displayed and no codes showing.
Recall 22S73 from Ford states that fuel injectors can crack and cause an under the hood fire. We have documentation showing that the dealer applied the recommended fix on June 26th 2023. On [XXX] I was driving and felt a fuel smell, a few seconds later I started seeing smoke coming from under the hood. By the time I got to the emergency lane there was already an open flame that brushed my hair as I got off the car. In less than 5 minutes my car was completely burn down along with my personal belongings. I have pictures and video of the car on fire in the highway. The police and the fire department responded to my 911 call and they were able to confirm that the fire did not start because of any traffic accident. We have access to the car and the fuel injectors for inspection if necessary. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owned a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated while driving at 70 MPH, the vehicle experienced abnormal gear shifts. Additionally, the contact noticed a gasoline odor and a burning plastic odor coming from the A/C vents. The contact stated that upon depressing the brake pedal to come to a complete stop at the stop sign, the vehicle failed to respond. The message "ABS Failure " was displayed, and several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that he then veered to the left while there was oncoming traffic. The contact stated that he attempted to stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal, shifting to park (P), and engaging the electronic parking brake, but the vehicle failed to respond and was driving at 40 MPH. The contact then noticed smoke and fire coming out from underneath the hood, and the front end of the vehicle was engulfed in fire. The contact stated that he jumped out of the vehicle. The vehicle drove into a ditch, where it burned to the ground. The fire was extinguished by the fire department. The contact was unsure whether a fire department report was filed. A police report was filed. The contact sustained a scrape on the right Elbow and received care from the ambulance. The vehicle was towed and totaled. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
On [XXX] I began my drive from Miami, FL to SF, CA for my next travel nurse assignment. Three hours into my drive, I stop for gas and return to the highway. I remember accelerating to catch up to traffic and moving into the left lane. Then I remember abruptly seeing brake lights ahead, braking hard, and the collision warning system going off. I was braking for several seconds and it became clear to me that I was going to crash into the vehicle in front of me. Immediately upon impact, my Bronco Sport caught fire. I felt the heat. I smelled the fire and fumes. I saw people running towards me, yelling for me to get out of my burning car. The airbag went off and I sustained minor injury to my right hand. At that point, my priority was to locate my cat inside my perfectly packed vehicle with all of my most important possessions. I grabbed my cat, my phone, and my purse and escaped as flames overtook my SUV. The Nissan Rouge in front of me sustained some rear bumper damage but overall relatively minor exterior damages. I am in awe that what should have been a minor collision turned into escaping a burning car with my cat and watching my everything burn away. I struggle with PTSD from the accident. The Bronco was well-maintained. I had the recall repaired, along with oil change and tire rotation in November, prior to driving from Southern California to my home in Miami in early December. The vehicle was deemed a total loss by the insurance company. The insurance company did not choose to pursue any investigation on why this happened. I’ve tried to find answers and have not been successful. The Ford dealership where I purchased the Bronco has been less than helpful and even normalized that this happens sometimes. Four months later and I’m still waiting to get refunded for all the extra extended warranties that I bought for a vehicle that I planned on having for a long time. No one seems concerned that my car caught fire instantly. This should not have happened. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATI
My car lost power on the highway. I took it to the dealership. They had the vehicle for 2 months and said it was repaired under warranty/recall. The same day that I received the car back, the same problem occurred. They kept it for a few days and said they could not determine the issue and released it back to me yesterday. This morning, it lost power again, while i was taking a left hand turn into oncoming traffic. I was almost t-boned. There is an huge safety issue here that is being brushed off and I’m afraid I will end up in a terrible accident.
We got a “service engine soon” warning stating “the vehicle has detected a concern with the evaporative emissions system” and that we need to “have the vehicle checked by a dealer ASAP”. With this, the dealership ordered a purge control line. This fixed the check engine light for about a week. Suddenly, we received the same warning and message. This time, the “Tech said its possible we hit something because under the vehicle the under shield has a hole in and it the canister valve which is what is causing the check engine light on. We cant get the part cover under warranty because of that. You would be looking at $638.00 not including tax.” Nothing was hit that we can note. The “shield” is a piece of felt. If this canister is so important, why have it “protected” by cloth?

Upon receiving the notice that my Ford Bronco Sport was subject to a recall in February 2023, I called my local Ford dealer to schedule a service appointment. The dealer stated that FoMoCo is only supplying dealers with "2 repair kits per week" and that they "could not provide an estimate" on a wait time for getting the repair completed. It is now July 2023 and after reaching out to the dealer twice, they are still unable to provide an estimated wait or schedule an appointment.
