I own a 2022 Ford Bronco. My vehicle has an electronic brake booster failure that causes multiple warning messages, brake system faults, and loss or reduction of brake assist. When this happens, the vehicle also prevents the 4-wheel drive system from engaging or switching modes. This is especially dangerous during winter conditions. When driving in snow or slippery conditions, I am unable to engage 4WD when it is needed most, while also experiencing brake system warnings. The vehicle becomes difficult to control and does not feel safe to drive. The dealership confirmed this is a known issue affecting multiple Ford Broncos and that the electronic brake booster part is currently back-ordered and unavailable. I was told many vehicles are affected, yet there is no recall for the 2022 model year, even though newer model years have a recall for the same component. This issue creates a serious safety risk due to impaired braking performance and inability to use 4-wheel drive in hazardous conditions. The vehicle had to be parked due to safety concerns. and the he issue happens intermittently, making it unpredictable.
Concerns a safety-related defect involving the infotainment system in my 2022 Bronco, which is directly related to an active recall and has not been properly addressed by the manufacturer or dealership. Ford issued a recall concerning the infotainment system due to a safety concern. For over a quarter, Ford had no available fix. The entire time I had my Bronco, my infotainment system repeatedly malfunctioned, required frequent resets, & ultimately failed completely. When I contacted the dealership 10/23/25, the earliest service appt was 12/17/25. Upon arrival, I was informed that the infotainment system would need to be repaired before the recall software update could be applied. I explained that the failure itself was the reason for the recall. Despite this, I was required to pay a $196 diagnostic fee to determine if the failure was recall-related. After the eval, the dealership stated the failure was not Ford’s responsibility & provided an estimate of approximately $1,672.61 w/o tax to repair the system on a '22 vehicle. This determination contradicts the stated safety basis of the recall. I contacted my insurance provider to explore coverage. The claim was denied, w/the insurer stating the issue was not caused by an accident or break-in, but was consistent w/a vehicle defect. Despite this, I was still charged the diagnostic fee. Research indicates the recall involves an electrical defect, not only a software issue. A non-functioning infotainment system impacts access to safety alerts & vehicle information, which presents a legitimate safety risk. Ford & the dealership refused to repair the system under the recall, refund the diagnostic fee, or acknowledge the failure as recall-related. I'm continuing to operate a vehicle w/a known safety defect. I'm requesting the federal safety agency review if recall remedies are being improperly limited, if consumers are being charged for recall-related defects , and if manufacturer &dealership practices comply w/ fed safety requirements.
Adaptive Cruise Control was enabled and in use and the vehicle nearly rammed into the leading vehicle. The vehicle speed and distance became erratic and finally the vehicle had an alert that the ACC was unavailable. This was a very scary incident and could have resulted in a collision. an earlier model Bronco had a misalignment radar module recall but it appears my vehicle should also be included in this recall as well.

We purchased the above referenced vehicle new back in 2022 and have received numerous recalls since 2023. Many of these recalls have no remedy or remedies not yet available. Thankfully, most of these recalls are not urgent and do not pose much of a problem. However, the most recent recall 25S75/25V455 poses a threat due to loss of fuel pressure and recently our vehicle has shown signs of malfunctioning. I am majorly concerned because our daughter is supposed to use this vehicle in February 2026 and the way the recall repairs are trending, it may take months or years to remedy. I am writing this correspondence so you are aware of the recall and put it on your radar to track. I plan on writing again if a significant amount of time has passed with no remedy per Ford's direction if we are having difficulty getting our vehicle repaired in a "reasonable" amount of time. There is no reason Ford should be producing faulty, no remedy vehicles. Families have to rely on their vehicles and should feel safe and confident, not worrying if the car stalls mid highway with their child in it.
When my brakes are cold and I stop on a hill...the brakes do not hold and the car moves about a foot forward. Then something kicks in and it jerks the car to a stop (all the while my foot is completely pressed down on the brake. No warning lamps, no lights, nothing...just rolls when brake is completely applied. It only does this when the brakes are cold. After they warm up it doesn't do it anymore. The dealer has looked at it and couldn't replicate (because the brakes weren't cold) and told me to bring it back if it happens again. It happens every morning but by the time the dealer gets it it doesn't do it anymore. A PLETHORA of bronco owners are experiencing this same thing. Our thread on [XXX] is full of people experiencing the same thing. Some guy in Canada said he had every brake part replaced and it still happened. Then they did some sort of software update and he hasn't experienced it since. Why is this update not available to all? This is a serious hazard! Someone is going to get hurt!

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco. The contact stated that while his wife was driving approximately 55 MPH, the electronic traction control failed causing the vehicle to become unstable and difficult to steer or control. Additionally, the braking system had malfunctioned, and the brake pedal was firm while depressed, and the driver was unable to immediately stop the vehicle. The driver was able to steer the vehicle from the middle lane to the shoulder and used the parking brake to slow the vehicle to an eventual stop. The vehicle was later towed to the local dealer. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. During the failure, the driver’s side rear axle and the rear driver’s side wheel studs and aftermarket lug nuts were damaged and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 13,664.
The vehicle’s back-up camera completely malfunctions about 20% - 30% of the time making it completely impossible to see anything behind the vehicle when backing up. Sometimes, when the vehicle is put into reverse, the display screen will be completely dark, other times the image freezes on a load up image or screen and there is no display of what is behind the vehicle, and worst of all, other times the display will lock on the first image from the rear facing camera and not show real-time video of what is behind the vehicle, making the driver think it is safe to back up when it may not be. The vehicle has been brought to two different Ford dealerships three different times over the last two years regarding this problem. The first time I was told the problem had been addressed. The problem continued to occur. The second time, I was told the issue could not be addressed at that time. I was told that Ford Corp was aware of the problem but they did not have a fix available at that time. I was told that Ford Corp was working on software enhancements that would be available sometime in the future that would address the issue. The problem continued to occur. The third time I was advised the problem could not be addressed at that time and “Ford is working on additional software enhancements which are expected to be delivered over-the-air (OTA) by late Q4 2024” and “Software will update automatically if vehicle connectivity is enabled in the vehicle’s settings.” The problem continues to occur, so much so that I have several recorded videos of the problem occurring.
Claim # CAS CXH-026-40233- PRE- COLLISION ASSIST(PCA) TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN PLEASE FORWARD TO CUSTOMER SERVICES Since they refused email. We have a 2024 In route to RIVERHEAD FORD and refuse to pay their $200 diagnosis fee on PCA failure. Not in OBD III plug in diagnosis no way to check if functioning. Will be reported to the federal safety agency. MY Broncos 2022 is still in bumper to plumber warrantee but recently with MY key not administrator key noticed the PCA was not functioning. On page 24 Bronco Quick Reference Guide states in pertinent parts: " If your vehicle is rapidly approaching a stationary vehicle, vehicle traveling in the same direction as yours or a pedestrian within your driving path, the system is designed to provide three levels of functionality. Alert; Brake Support & Active Braking" While driving an speaking to a customer service agents I tested behind a Benz at approximate 40 mph and deliberately move my Broncos MY22 less that one car length or so. NADA! NO DISPLAY! To place a pedestrian in from to test the PCA would be wrong. The limited express warrantee state no charge for warrantee service, yet a call to Riverhead Ford service agent who stated a diagnosis charge of $200 or so for one hour. The warrantee also states that power up on line modem saves are updates are no charge. Ford three customer service read " non-warrantee" Ford policy , but refused to disclose where they found that statement in warrantee . ( Attached download) Further two supervisors read same "non-warrantee" Ford statement said I must pay $200 or more for electronic software/radar type RF signaling systems like proximity sensors for diagnosis purposes. A simple drive with a car in front should when switch by touch screen from high ,moderate or low should function and save lives. It failed that test. Previously, the system function ,when a driver cut dangerous in front of me and if function on screen and I immediately braked, no so today. A non- Ford check the display a
Break pedal feels very mushy and no breaking effect , very dangerous on highway speed for my car and cars behind me. I went to different dealers for a fix ,they all says it is normal, but it is sure not normal, I had multiple close calls. Break feel is inconsistent everyday. When I apply the break lots of deadline and no breaking effect for first few inches also pedal sinking to floor, ford and dealership are ignoring this serious safety concern. kindly do the needful,thank you
After reversing and driving away, the vehicle continued to display the rear camera and 360 view .Vehicle had to be shifted to park, stopped, then restarted in order to clear the display.

The soft top on the 2022 four door Bronco does not properly latch. I know earlier years and some 2022s were recalled for this but mine has not been recalled and it needs to be addressed. Also the back up camera and 360 cameras do not work
On rare but recurring occasions, perhaps twice a month, powering on the adaptive cruise control results in one of two issues: 1. The ACC will engage, but set itself for 15 MPH, even if driving at highway speeds. When this occurs, the ACC either cancels itself out, or remains on until it detects a malfunction, and then cancels itself out. 2. On rare occasion, the autonomous breaking will, upon powering on of the cruise control, seem to detect a phantom vehicle that is not there and attempt to aggressively brake. The Ford Bronco ACC is unique in that it attempts to set the ACC on when the system is powered on, unlike other vehicles where the driver must power it on and then set it.
Randomly the following takes place while vehicle is in motion at various speeds… Hill assist warning followed by (in rapid succession) pre collision assist not available, antilock brake fault Then the brakes momentarily give out then come back in non-powered mode which dangerously locks up the wheels when stopping System then resets itself Bronco6g forums have reported similar issues
Vehicle reported Anti-Brake Fault. Vehicle reported Pre-Collision Fault. Vehicle reported 4 different hill start Assist Failures. I noticed the Pre-Collison feature did not work because the breaks never activated when there was a sudden merge into my lane going 65 miles per hour. The car says that the pre-collision feature is enabled but did not respond to a vehicle that came close to causing a wreck.
