The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 26V468000 (Engine, Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 70 MPH uphill, the vehicle lost drive power. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The driver was able to pull over to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the main wiring harness had dislodged, sat across the exhaust, and was burned. The dealer determined that the main wiring harness needed to be replaced, which required the temporary removal of several components. The contact was provided a repair estimate and was advised that the failure was not covered under the recall and that the vehicle was out of warranty. The vehicle was not repaired.

Safety Defect – Inadequate Warning and Insufficient Time to Respond to Alternator/Charging System Failure I am submitting this safety complaint regarding a dangerous condition in my 2022 Ford Bronco involving the charging system and alternator protection behavior. While driving, a warning related to the charging system/battery appeared. The message lacked sufficient clarity and urgency. The time from the warning until the 12-volt battery was fully depleted was extremely short—too brief to safely identify a location and pull completely out of traffic. Once the battery died: • The vehicle could not be placed in neutral, preventing it from being moved out of the travel lane. • There was insufficient power to operate the hazard lights. This occurred on a busy highway, leaving the vehicle disabled in traffic and creating a significant safety risk. I was fortunate it happened in daylight. Had it occurred at night without functioning hazard lights, the likelihood of a catastrophic accident would have been high. This aligns with known alternator/charging system issues on 2021-2022 Broncos addressed in Ford Technical Service Bulletin TSB 23-2238 (superseding TSB 22-2392). The combination of an unclear warning, inadequate response time, loss of neutral capability, and loss of hazard lights presents an unreasonable safety risk. I request that Ford investigate this condition, provide a permanent remedy, and improve the warning strategy so drivers receive clear, timely notice with enough opportunity to reach a safe location.

The instrument cluster panel goes black and stays blacked out for driving from startup to shutdown. This does not occur consistently, but it occurs often and unpredictably and is occurring more and more often. Attempted to have dealership fix and they want to replace the instrument cluster panel. This is a safety issue for basic functionality of the vehicle. Ford has had this issue identified during other years of Bronco production but appears unwilling to fix it in all of them.

Vehicle has Surged and stalled randomly, the Crash alert warning appears on screen and starts to stop the vehicle with nothing in front of it, I have asked my Ford Dealer to remedy the recalls as I have paid over $50,000 for the vehicle and they tell me sorry there are no fixes, I tried to trade it in, and they said they cannot because they have a no sale enforcement on the Bronco and they said if they took it in trade they could not sell it.

Front Camera sometimes malfunctions and will not display, only black screen. A recall or customer satisfactory program has been issued for rear camera, but not for front Camera. This issue could be dangerous when pulling forward from a parking spot as view is partially obstructed by large hood. The Ford dealership quoted a replacement but failed to fix or replace under warranty.

I would like to update my previous safety concern since both concerns are related to separate recall issues. This concern is related to my vehicle experiencing potential electrical issues which appear to be similar to the same 12-volt battery management failures that are currently recalled in the Bronco Sport models. The "Charging System Service Now" alarm continues to pop up, sometimes every 30 seconds. I have not able to use my communication and navigation system for months now which has caused continuous issues which first started with my gps taking me to a completely different location on several occasions. This has caused me to get lost, be late, and be distracted while trying to fix the navigation error. These electrical issues have affected the safety of myself and my passengers due to the potential for complete electrical power loss, including loss of navigation/communications. It has also resulted in me getting pulled over by law enforcement twice: Once, where I received a warning for failing to use my turn signal when exiting which was the result of my entire screen going black while I was using my GPS and panicked. The second time was for speeding: 1. I was distracted because the Charging System Service alarm popped up on my dashboard. 2. My navigation screen was not working which I what I used to monitor the speed limit and maintain correct speed when the sign was not visible. 3. According to research, this may have affected the accuracy of the speed gun since I did not agree with the speed the officer detected. Research into this issue did, in fact, indicate that electromagnetic interference caused by the electrical faults and alternator issues can produce broadband noise or EMI which may overload or confuse the sensitivity of the radar gun, causing a false speed reading. Yes, the Ford Dealership was contacted, and I was told they did not have the parts/software available to fix the electrical issue. A mechanic also indicated issues with the alternator.

My vehicle is experiencing potential electrical issues which appear to be similar to the same 12-volt battery management failures that are currently recalled in the Bronco Sport models. The "Charging System Service Now" alarm continues to pop up, sometimes every 30 seconds. I am also not able to use my communication and navigation system, and I am not sure if this is related to the same electrical system malfunctions. Furthermore, on three recent occasions, my vehicle stalled while I was pulling out of a street which was on a slight incline, another while I was on a hill in a parking lot, and another while I was reversing and putting my car into 1st gear to drive. During all of these occasions, my vehicle stalled and did not automatically re-start which had me blocking traffic while I turned my vehicle back on. All of these issues have affected the safety of myself and my passengers due to the unexpected stalling as well as electrical power loss, including loss of navigation/communications. It has also resulted in me getting pulled over by law enforcement twice due to swerving while I was looking at the screen when it went black and the other because I was speeding because my Charging System Service alarm went off and I was also unable to determine the speed limit of that road without having my navigation screen working. I believe I have contacted the Ford Dealership regarding the specific loss of the communication and navigation issue and was told they did not have the parts/software available at this time. I have taken my vehicle to an Advance Auto Parts store when the "Charging System Service Now" first appeared and was told it was potentially the alternator. I will have to locate the documentation at a later time.
