Ford Bronco stalling problems

Filed Oct 31, 2026 · Transmission · GA

On October 15, 2026 I was driving my 2024 Ford Bronco Raptor home on I-285 near [location]. The vehicle stalled completely and would not hold speed at any speed from 35 to 78 mph. While exiting the ramp it stalled and I was nearly rear-ended. The trip normally takes up to two hours and took about three. The day before, about 150 miles from home, the vehicle was skipping, stalling and making an unusual noise, and passengers said the transmission was slipping. The same problem began at about 20,000 miles. The dealer repaired the transmission in July 2026 at 24,075 miles. It returned within about 500 miles. The dealer could not duplicate it in September 2026. In October 2026 the dealer confirmed the problem and replaced the torque converter. The odometer read 26,423 miles on October 29, 2026. There was no crash or injury, but this was a near collision at highway speed. Ford case numbers: CXH-08566342-K5D9F1 and CXH-09640578-G1Z5H1.

While driving, I experienced the brakes beginning to fail, followed shortly by a complete loss of engine power. My 2021 Ford Bronco is subject to recall 25S75 (the federal safety agency 25V455) for a low pressure fuel pump defect that can cause loss of fuel pressure or flow and engine stall. I was stranded on the side of the interstate in 100 degree heat with my newborn in the vehicle. This was a dangerous situation, not a minor inconvenience. I had the vehicle towed to an AAA Car Care Center in Charlotte, NC, where the fuel pump failure was diagnosed. AAA could not perform a repair because the issue falls under an open safety recall. I contacted the Ford Recall Assistance Center and was told no remedy is currently available for recall 25S75. I also visited Capital Ford Charlotte, who confirmed the same, that no remedy exists yet. With the vehicle inoperable and no repair available anywhere, I paid out of pocket for private transport to move the vehicle to my home in Newnan, GA, since Ford could not confirm coverage for towing to my home dealership. As of August 12, 2026, the federal safety agency materials still list the remedy for 25S75 as under development. My vehicle remains inoperable with no path to repair. This is now also preventing me from selling or trading the vehicle. A dealership (Buford Toyota) declined to even appraise it because it will not run. I am filing this complaint to document that an open, unremedied safety recall directly caused a vehicle failure that endangered myself and my infant child, and continues to leave the vehicle unusable and unsellable months later.

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!

35 miles out of [XXX] on Monday, XXX our Bronco loss fuel flow in the fast lane of [XXX] and stalled while going 70mph we were surrounded by trucks also going 70mph, unexpectedly mid morning. No warning . Almost got rear ended and had to safely drift over to reach the side of the road. Very terrifying with cars going very fast behind us. We attempted to restart the Bronco and it started a few times and sputtered out. I immediately called the closest Ford dealership Gaudin and they dispatched a tow truck. The temperature was very hot and we waited for 1.5 hrs in the desert sun. The dealer provided a rental but I was not allowed to leave NV nor go more than 50 miles, they confirmed that it was a bad fuel pump. I did not receive the car back until Friday 6/19/26. This incident occurred on my first day of VC planned in [XXX]. My whole vacation was ruined, unexpected expenses, and the stress of having to drive with a defective part when it’s fixed is a problem. We have to drive back to LA and I can’t miss work. We took the vehicle to Gaupin in LA to have it serviced before this trip even an oil change on 6/11/26. They assured us that all was well, only 2 recalls showed up- rear camera and a seat adjustment bolt . Why didn’t the dealer tell us about the fuel pump and the dangers. The vin number has a listed “1 un-repaired recall - fuel pump dated 7/2025. Manufacturer #XXX, the federal safety agency# 25V455. No notice has come through the mail and then it states Recall incomplete in red. If it was known that the fuel pump could fail, how are owners allowed to drive around without a complete recall, and without a fix. The dealer said they are going to announce on Jun 29. Well in our case that’s a little too late. Am I supposed to drive with a defective fuel system??? They replaced the fuel pump with another new pump that will have the same issue, not a fix. On June 19 later that evening after fueling it up, a service engine light came on with exhaust system issues. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA),

The Incident: While operating the vehicle under high load, the driver received an explicit "Service Engine Soon" powertrain malfunction alert stating: "The powertrain control module lost communication with the vehicle active grill shutter module for a period of time." Immediately following this warning, the engine experienced a severe loss of power, followed by loud metallic banging from the engine bay. The vehicle stalled completely and lost all motive power, creating an imminent highway safety hazard.The Physical Damage: Subsequent mechanical teardown by the dealership revealed terminal block destruction, including deep vertical cylinder wall scoring, heavy unburnt liquid gasoline residue in the engine oil pan, and a blown head gasket.Relationship to Active Safety Defect: This catastrophic engine failure mirrors the progressive failure profile of the federal safety agency Campaign 25V455 / Ford Safety Recall 25S75 (Low-Pressure Fuel Pump Failure). In this EcoBoost architecture, the Active Grill Shutter (AGS) module shares critical voltage paths, grounding blocks, and wiring looms with the engine management and fuel delivery systems. The sudden network communication loss is diagnostic proof of a severe voltage drop or electrical short caused by the high-friction fuel pump degradation detailed in Recall 25S75. This circuit failure instantly starved the engine of fuel under turbo boost, inducing an extreme lean-out condition. The resulting pre-ignition forces violently shattered the internal piston rings (the loud banging), which then gouged the cylinder walls, wiped out compression, fouled the crankcase with fuel residue, and blew the head gasket.Request for Action: Ford's current VIN parameters for Recall 25S75 have not yet captured my specific vehicle despite it matching the exact production window, component setup, and catastrophic failure sequence. I am requesting that the federal safety agency log this case as definitive evidence of consequential engine destruction originating from the 25V455 fue

My 2022 Ford Bronco experienced recall 25S75 where fuel pump failed while driving on the freeway outside LA near San Bernardino. Recall was communicated in July of 2025 and no fix available. How long has Ford been building cars? There were no warnings or symptoms prior to failure. This was extremely dangerous for car to stall in the middle of the freeway, not to mention it was 98 degrees outside. I was able to tow my Bronco to a Ford dealership where they confirmed and fixed the recall fuel pump issue.
