The vehicle experienced a sudden, severe mechanical engine condition resulting in a violent rough idle, loss of motive power, and a flashing Check Engine light with hard misfire codes on Cylinders 4, 5, and 6 (the entire driver-side engine bank). Additionally, the vehicle has been losing engine coolant internally with no external leaks or puddles on the ground, indicating fluid is entering the combustion chambers. These symptoms exactly mirror the mechanical pattern documented in Ford Safety Recall 24S55 (the federal safety agency Campaign Number 24V635) involving brittle engine intake valves fracturing. This vehicle has an August 2022 manufacture date and sits just outside the manufacturer's current restricted recall window, indicating that the defective component batch extends significantly past the reported dates. Component Availability: The engine is intact and available for federal inspection. Safety Risk: The sudden loss of engine power, hard stalling, and severe misfires while operating the vehicle creates an immediate risk of being rear-ended by traffic or stranded on a high-speed roadway without motive power. Dealer Confirmation/Inspection: These symptoms occurred recently at roughly 58,300 miles. The vehicle is currently being towed to an authorized dealership for diagnostic confirmation, relative compression testing, and cooling system pressure testing to officially verify the root cause. It has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives. Warning Symptoms: Prior to the sudden rough idle, the vehicle exhibited a low coolant level in the reservoir. There were no dashboard warning lamps or performance symptoms prior to the sudden flashing Check Engine light and immediate hard misfires.

My ford bronco stalled out on the highway going 70 miles per hour causing me to have to pull over to the shoulder and restart the vehicle! It feels like the engine is misfiring and not getting enough fuel while giving the car gas. Ford has no remedy available to fix the fuel pump issue, according to ford. This vehicle has become a ticking bomb with recall after recall. Many of the recalls are dangerous and the vehicle is at real risk of a major malfunction or fire and accident! I want reimbursement from ford motor company for the continuous problems I have had on the vehicle. 23 recalls and numerous other issues that I had to have fixed over the 4 years since I owned it. Totally ridiculous and quite frankly unbelievable coming from a large company like ford. I want reimbursement from ford or ford can buy this piece of junk vehicle back. Too dangerous to drive this bronco at this point . I have had enough of ford saying a fix is not available!

While driving on an interstate it was determined that the engine walls over compressed and blew out the sides of the motor of my 2022 Ford Bronco. The Bronco has 67,000 miles on it which shows a clear manufacturer defect. It is available to be inspected as well to confirm. My wife’s and unborn child’s safety was put at risk by losing acceleration and losing control of the vehicle briefly as it began to shake from the engine misfiring. This easily could have caused a serious wreck had more traffic been present at the time. The dealership has not been able to confirm this on other cars. The engine has been inspected by a Ford Dealership. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the failure and only appeared shortly after the engine over-compressed and began to shake.
