The Bronco Sport was put into drive and would not go like normal, it slowly picked up speed, but every shift between gears was felt. The vehicle drove fine once it hit 55mph. Vehicle was shut off and then would not engage into drive. The drive icon was flashing. The dealer was able to confirm the problem. There were zero warning messages or symptoms prior to the problem. The vehicle had been serviced two months prior and the transmission was functioning in the green according to the dealer.

I’m reporting that this vehicle has been under recall literally since I purchased it over 4 years ago. It has a potential fire issue with the fuel injector, which several trips to the dealership have not fixed it. Ford sends a letter out once a year and says they’ll let me know when they have a fix. I keep a fire blanket stuffed into my glovebox and I’d like to know why over 4 years isn’t long enough to fix it! NHTSA Recall #25V467 This recall used to show up in my Ford app, but they…

Water is entering the vehicle and dripping onto the interior floorboards, particularly when the air conditioning is running.This has caused growth of mold and rust inside the vehicle. The vehicle has developed multiple dashboard warning lights, and the turn signals and windshield wipers have stopped functioning. Most concerning, the steering wheel has locked while the vehicle was in motion, leaving me unable to steer even though the engine remained running.This created a serious and immediate…

The rear drive unit (RDU) deteriorated at 78k miles. I began to notice a shudder during low-speed turns with high steering angle. Upon inspection, metallic flakes were discovered in the RDU’s fluid, apparently indicating mechanical degradation of the internal clutch packs. Two separate Ford dealerships recommended complete RDU assembly replacement at a significant expense. I am concerned that an important drivetrain component could deteriorate this quickly, from normal driving use. I believe…
