2023 Ford Bronco Sport Complaint Log

TSB 23-2308 Moan Noise In The Rear Brakes when vehicle Is Driven In Reverse (R) In Cold Weather And/Or High Humidity (From Ford). Vehicle also has a grinding noise when driving and turning. Brake rotor and pads. Two dealerships have confirmed the issue and has been "fixed" twice even though the noise is still there after it was "fixed". The dealership turned the brake rotors and replaced brake pads even when they did not need it, and updated parts that includes clips. There are no warnings that appear before, during or after. This is a known issue with Ford on their Bronco Sport models. They are making the consumer pay for the fix even though it is a defect through Ford. I know numerous people who are/have experienced this. It has been ongoing since 3/2024

The contact owns a 2023 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated while driving approximately 5 MPH, the vehicle stalled in the middle of a busy intersection. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on several occasions. Additionally, while at a stop light with the Automatic Shut Off feature activated, the vehicle drove forward after releasing the brake pedal but immediately shut off. The vehicle was taken to several local dealers who were unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 34,000.

As soon vehicle is turned off a message is displayed System off to save battery And I will not be able to use any of the telematics, specifically if I try to start the vehicle from the app

The vehicle shifted into NEUTRAL and the Park Break engaged while driving in Eco Mode at 25-30 mph. This incident happened twice prior to the following incident and within minutes apart. Parked and exited the vehicle for about 10 minutes. Entered vehicle, applied the break and ENGINE START button, vehicle did not start. The brake felt hard and the following warnings appeared: SERVICE VEHICLE SOON, CROSS TRAFFIC SYSTEM FAULT, FULL ACCESSORY POWER ACTIVE, PARK AID FAULT, PRE COLLISION ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE, SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC. I exited the vehicle for a few minutes, returned and attempted to start the engine again and it did turn on.

Multiple intermittent occurrences of the following- Transmission: Shifts very rough 30-50mph. Excessively noisy. Far worse when weather is cold. Does not respond sometimes when pressing the accelerator. Feels as if the pedal is pushed and the car does nothing. Pulling back your foot and pressing again it goes. Noticed this trying to merge into traffic from a stop, pressing pedal to pass slower traffic at highway speeds. Have had two different Ford dealers look at the problem, neither has been able to diagnose an issue. Have an appointment with Ford dealer to evaluate again (third time) 2nd week of February due to dealer service dept schedule. Have been told to expect to leave the vehicle with them for 3-5 days for diagnosis. Have offered to take service mgr on test drive to show issue but not able to link schedules yet. Dealers have stated they cannot find an issue and have updated transmission software. Does not fix the issue. Electrical/body: Numerous problems with the following: Plugged in phone drops Apple CarPlay regularly or does not always recognize phone. (latest OS from Apple on both devices). Convenience features like seat memory, keyless entry (touch the door handle with key on you, door unlocks) intermittently not working. Rear hatch keyless entry has not worked in almost a year. Stereo system doesn't always display proper data in cluster, on radio screen. Does not always respond to steering wheel channel change button. Ford has updated software multiple times and above (except rear hatch) will work for a while then problems will start back up again. Vehicle has almost 30K miles and was purchased brand new in July 2023. Factory warranty expires at 36K and I do not want to be stuck with an extremely expensive repair if the transmission does go up after the warranty expires.

The contact owns a 2023 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH and attempting to overtake the vehicle ahead, the message "Charging System Needs Service" was displayed. The contact stated that during the first failure, the "Charging System Needs Service" and "Shut the Vehicle Off" messages were displayed. The contact stated while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond, and lost automotive power. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and transferred the contact to NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 21,000.

Hello, I wanted to share an issue I recently encountered with my car. After coming back from a hike, my car stalled and took long to start. When it finally did start, the engine light came on, and I was unable to go over 20 miles per hour. I read the code, which indicated a problem with the fuel injectors. I ended up being stranded for about 5 hours in a blizzard until I could get help. I took the car to the Ford dealership, and they diagnosed the issue as a faulty high-pressure fuel pump and sensor, both of which need to be replaced. I purchased this car in 2023, and I’m very surprised that these components are failing so soon. This is not what I expected from a relatively new vehicle. There is a current recal for fuel injectors for my year and model but my car is not on the list.

The contact owns a 2023 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated while accelerating uphill and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed and failed to exceed 20 MPH. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the dealer refused to service the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not eligible for a buyback. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 13,470.

The dashboard and screen when black while I was driving down the highway. I was unable yo see my speed. I found a safe spot to pull the car over to see what was going on and the car would not start again. After jumping the car it still would not start then it had to be towed to ford where they still can’t figure out was wrong.

I had the recall done that was suppose to fix the battery signaling the vehicle to shut off, but after I had it done I still got the message to either turn off the accessory power or to restart the engine.

I have had gas in the oil 3 different times now. I had went over to lafontaine on [XXX] , and they said it was because I was 500 miles before an oil change. I knew that gas and oil didn’t mix so I fought for the car to stay at the dealership and the whole time I was being told I was crazy and not to waste the technicians time after the 2nd time of it being there. I then for the 3rd time went to Ford dealership located in Fenton, and at that time they could not indicate the cause, but told me they sold that car and there was various issues before it got traded in by someone else so just to beware. I am now dealing with my engine shaking and rattling making a really unpleasant sound(I have a video.) and without even pulling out the dipstick all the way I can heavily smell the gas. I had it confirmed by my mom and grampa who works on cars. I then did a buyback dispute and they denied it because it was not in the shop enough times but I could drive it til it dies and then have my warranty replace the motor. This is really bad and it is starting to sound like the engine is seizing out. I took it to Midas in flint and they were not comfortable touching it due to the gas in the oil because it’s basically a brand new car. I need this car to be bought back this is not safe at all and I’m afraid it is going to explode. Also it will not let me add the video of the engine so I will have to email it over INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

See Illustration Overly sensitive driver’s side shoulder restraint resulting in abnormal restraint and the inability to see around the "B" pillar during normal deceleration. When I’m slowing down (from position 3 to 2) with normal deceleration, I’m blocked by trees, buildings, and signs indicated by the hash. Therefore I don’t have visibility of the oncoming traffic until I’ve reached (position 1) @ about 25 mph. That’s about when the harness locks up -- give or take 5mph. If there’s oncoming traffic there’s no issue; once at a full stop the harness releases and I’m on my way. If there isn’t any traffic (thus, no reason to stop); I still have to stop because I’m restrained by now and the “B” pillar blocks any view of potential oncoming traffic. Unlike any other vehicle I've ever driven , I’m unable to lean forward to see around the pillar and make a safe decision to stop or continue into the intersection at (position 0). Imagine you’re following me and have reached (position 1), and you don’t see any traffic so you anticipate that I will keep going but I don’t, I have no choice but to come to a full and complete stop because I don’t know that there’s no traffic. This creates mayhem on the highway and appears that I’m brake checking (or otherwise intentionally irritating other drivers behind me for no reason. This results in road rage and I’m always the culprit since I’m not yielding as the intersection is designed. (this happens frequently at this intersection) If I think about it prior to reaching (position 3 [prior to any significant deceleration]) I will try to lean forward or take hands off the wheel to put slack in the harness so that I’m able to see around the “B” pillar even after the harness locks up. Not only is that not safe, but I’m forced to intentionally override the car’s safety systems increasing the chances of injury if I am in a collision.

The alarm was going off when I opened the lift gate to put bags in. The alarm would not turn off so I opened driver’s door and stepped on brake and started the car. Alarm went off but car suddenly went into reverse and catapulted me out of the car. Driver four was open and I got pinned under the care while it continued to Move in reverse. The vehicle ran over my left lower leg both knees and R thigh. It kept moving about 35-40’ in reverse. My brother was there and he tried to stop the care but was also knocked down by driver four and his R foot was run over.

I have put 3 water pumps in my 2023 ford bronco big bend since buying the bronco brand new put the first one in September 2024 second one in May of 2025 and know February of 2026. Also put two vacuums pumps in 2026 in the same week

The display for all the support systems does not boot up properly. This means I cannot access any of the advanced systems, the radio, or any of the other related systems. This is the display in the center console/dashboard. It is not know if other systems are impacted without this display because you cannot see any of the system messages that normally appear on the screen. The camera stays on because the computer does not override.

I fear for my safety in my vehicle because it’s been a lot of trouble since I first bought it. The vehicle reduces power and won’t let me accelerate even though the agency said they had fixed it already, the auto stop malfunctions and messes with the vehicle’s engine. Now that this new incident happened with the engine/gasoline that the car started shaking and just wouldn’t turn on I am very concerned. The agency claims it was contaminated gas but I went to the gas station to file a police report and the gas at the gas station was completely fine. There was a recall on the “fuel injectors cracking, causing gasoline or vapors to leak at a high rate onto hot surfaces in the engine compartment.” -nhtsa and I believe this is what might be wrong with my vehicle even though it doesn’t come out with the vin. I drive from home to school, work, and the university everyday and I feel unsafe because the truck stutters which I am certain it has to do with a manufacturer gas tank error. I’m not sure what can be done in this case, but I feel like my life or the life of others is in danger driving it out in the road with all the stuttering the vehicle has been doing even from months back.

In September my dad was driving my car in eco mode and the wrench light came on. I got an alert in my ford app that there was a transmission problem and lack of power issue. My dad and husband were in CO at the time with my car. They took it to a dealership and the light had gone off they said it was pulling turbo codes. They drove it back to AR and I took it in the shop and they said nothing was wrong and couldn’t find an issue. I did have the recall for loss of power fixed in May. When the light came on in the car in September there was a noticeable loss of power. I requested the redo the recall but they declined. I have not had a light come back on since then.

I was able to start my vehicle in my driveway, without the key. Unknown to me at the time, the key was in fact in my house, in my bedroom, not in my purse, or on my body. But I was able to drive 15 miles without that key. Fortunately the automatic start/stop was engaged, if it hadn't been I could've been stranded at an intersection or worse, had an accident stalled at an intersection. Once the car was turned off it would not restart, it said "no key detected". I was left stranded in someone's driveway until my son drove to my home to retrieve the key. This should never happen, the car should never have been able to start with the key inside my house.

Vehicle has had continuous issues with loss of oil pressure. Vehicle has been to ford service dept multiple times and is still uncorrected. Issue arises when placed under mild to hard acceleration conditions, ie passing a vehicle on interstate conditions. Problem is able to be duplicated when at operating temperatures. Once oil leashed is lost, the vehicle goes into limp mode with an illuminated engine light and low oil pressure warning message in the display screen. Message will clear and vehicle will go back into normal operation once the vehicle has been shut down and restarted. The engine light will remain illuminated. This issue almost resulted in a motor vehicle collision while enroute to work this morning trying to avoid a semi that rapidly changed lanes to avoid another accident. When I went to accelerated to avoid the collision, I lost power and was almost hit.

Bought this car new only 10 months ago, and have had to take it in constantly. 1. Within a few weeks after purchase, the bolts came flying off the wheels while driving on the freeway causing the wheels to nearly fly off! 2. Multiple recalls for the computer system, took it in at least 3 different times, screen was blacking out and electronics went down. 3. Tail lights went completely out. 4. 3 weeks ago while driving, the Bronco completely died in the middle of a heavy traffic intersection. All doors locked me in, had to manually push vehicle to the side and call for a tow. Towed it to Ford dealer, they said the fuel system went out, they’ve had it for 3 weeks and still don’t know what’s wrong with it!! I went to see the Gen Mgr, 2 employees there said I bought a lemon. GM said if I have a lemon then the whole fleets are lemons. This is a $43,000 car and I should not be having issue upon issue continually. I want them to replace my vehicle or give me a full refund! Very dangerous to drive a car that has severe safety issues!

The contact owns a 2023 Ford Bronco. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at 5 MPH, the rubber brake pad detached, the driver's foot slipped on the metal and crashed into a freezer, located in the garage and the bumper detached.

I had parked and turned off my Bronco after a 2 hour drive. When I went back outside about 30 minutes later, I started the vehicle only to get an ear piercing noise coming out of the speakers. I turned off the radio and car but it lasted about 30 seconds and then stopped. Twice again I tried to start the car and the loud noise started again and lasted 30-45 seconds. My Apple Watch registered a noise at 110 decibels. I could not stay in the car as it hurt my ears. No warning lights or anything to let me know this was going to happen. I have taken it in to the dealer and they said it was a PCM module going bad.

Tires are Continental 225/65 R 17 On June 18, 2024 the right rear tire went flat in less than 200 yards at 15 mph in our driveway. The dealership said it was a non reparable puncture that split the sidewall. On July 28, 2024 the left rear tire went flat in less than 200 yards at 15 mph in our driveway. The vehicle has less than 2500 miles and never carries heavy loads. I understand that there was a recall on similar Continental Tires. Fortunately both of these incidents happened in our driveway. We live near the Blue Ridge Mountains, had this occurred at higher speed on a mountain road it could have been disastrous.

On more than one occasion, the speakers have emitted an ear piercing startling noise while driving. The first time it happened, i was driving and I could not get the noise to stop despite turning off the radio. My ears ached for days. It had been only a couple days since I purchase the vehicle. I took it to Ford’s service department. It stayed there for a few days only to be told they cannot find any issue with the car or software The second and 3rd time it happened, the radio was not on but my phone was connected through the USB port. The duration of the screeching was shorter but still disturbing enough to leave me shaking. Both the volume on the car radio and the volume on my phone were set to a very low setting. Screeching noise emitted was loudly deafening and a safety hazard.

Got a flat on the right front tire. I pulled over on level concrete area. The vehicle was off, in park, and parking brake "appeared" to be on. Using the the vehicle's jack, I jacked the vehicle up and had taken the flat off. The vehicle rolled back and off the jack and the disk break crashed to the concrete. I checked the parking break and made sure the vehicle was in park and it was. I jacked it up again. As I was starting to replace the spare, the vehicle rolled back again and could have pinned my hand between the fender and the spare tire. A passerby stopped the a floor jack and a chulk and we changed the tire. First, the base of the jack is too narrow and the vehicle was not stable. This was an ideal location to change a tire and still was a disaster.

I have been trying to get my car serviced due to a "recall" that can only be done off island. This requires barge cost (to Maui and back), being present to pick up car from barge and drop off at dealership, time on Maui to allow dealership to remedy the recall, wait at least a week for the barge to return it back to Molokai, and then time to pick up vehicle at the barge once back on Molokai. I have tried to organize with my dealership that is on Maui, and they will not pay for anything but the actual "recall work". My vehicle is a little over a year with only 7800 miles on it. The expense of all of the above and the time needed without a vehicle is not something I can afford (Barge alone is approximately $1500). After several communications with Ford, they told me I had to deal with my nearest dealership, and if still having difficulty getting repairs done at no cost to contact NHTSA.gov. Thank you for any information and help you can provide me.

Break locked during turn and ABS system failed, as a result, cash crashed into a rock. This could have been very serious had the car been going faster. The car ABS system needs to be recalled on ALL BRONCO SPORTS. The car will go to the dealer for review. There were no warning lamps or other symptoms prior to the crash

After having an Oil Change / Simple first time service, my Radio Screen Resets EVERY time you turn the car off. Most recently though, I was driving for about 3 miles or so, and the Reverse Camera Froze on the screen, nothing would clear it. The Radio / Power button did not work, no sound, no anything would work. I could not turn my car off as I was driving. I did place the car in park at a red light and still no change, camera stayed frozen / stuck on the screen, radio id stuck on panel (tiny screen behind the steering wheel). No Sound Nothing. All of these items worked until I took it to the Ford Dealership for Service. The Service Director states this isn't his people and this car is known for it's electronic issues.

Vehicle stopped running without any warnings. Lost power, power steering and I don't know what else.

Radio screen goes black often sometimes going black and the radio still plays. Sometimes the screen goes completely out or is stuck on one screen and it will not reset even after turning car off and back on again

The positioning of the wipers is poorly designed.it allows ice and snow to build up rendering the wipers inoperable and almost impossible to thaw out even with the window defroster .Ford is aware of this issue because earlier models used to come with a deicer.Canadien models come with a deicer.I contacted ford customer service and was directed to go to the dealer, which I did and filed a complaint . the service manage said that's all they could do. It is a safety issue because if you are driving in heavy snow the wipers will become inoperable.this issue pertains to Ford Bronco Sport vehicles.

While my granddaughter was driving this vehicle there was a sudden loud boom and the radio went to max volume, causing an excruciating decibel level of noise and static. Fortunately she was on a low volume road and was able to immediately stop the vehicle in the road (In shock of course) and she then tried to turn the radio off to no avail! She exited the vehicle, called her dad who was nearby and he showed up and turned the vehicle off. This ear piercing noise would not stop until several moments after the vehicle was turned off. This noise was so sudden, shocking and deafening that had she been on a high volume roadway she could have easily been been involved in a serious accident while attempting to turn off the radio (which didn't work) or get to a safe place to exit the vehicle. There was/is also the real possibility of permanent hearing loss!

The car in front of the car ahead of me slammed on their breaks so I slammed on mine. The car directly in front of me hit their breaks last but my car never stopped until it hit the car. I was pushing on the break as hard as I possibly could and it just felt like the car wouldn’t stop

My wife and I bought a brand-new 2023 Ford Bronco Sport Outer Banks edition in Jully of 2023. After about a month of ownership and less than 1000 miles, we noticed when we would press the accelerator, the vehicle would take 5-6 seconds to react to the accelerator. When it finally did, the car would rev up to about 6000rpm and lurch forward. We took it to the dealer and they assured us there was nothing wrong and just reset the car's computer. A month or so later we noticed the same issue with acceleration, but this time the car also completely stalled. This happened to my wife multiple times in the middle of a busy intersection. We brought the car back to the dealership and they stated the engine was misfiring and replaced a sparkplug. They returned the vehicle again to us with their assurances we wouldn't have any more problems. We drove it for about 30 minutes before the vehicle stalled again in the middle of a busy intersection. At this point we had the dealership come and tow away the vehicle. After some time, they finally told us the entire engine had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle we were constantly assured was alright had an engine failure at less than 3000 miles and put my wife and I in potential dangerous situations multiple times.

This is the first episode of this event. I have been driving the vehicle for 17,000 miles. It was raining outside. When I pressed the button to start the ignition a horrifically loud screeching noise that terminated in what sounded like an explosion seemed to come from the passenger side if the vehicle. It last only a few seconds but it created a piercing sensation in my ears and left my ear was ringing for 10 minutes. I had to check my right ear for bleeding. Two hours later, my ear is still warm internally and aching. After the explosion, none of the audio worked on the vehicle. I tried the radio, the phone audio, the maps, and a voice phone call. I turned the car off and then on again. Still no sound. I drove for 30 minutes, waited an hour, then restarted the car and the audio returned. Prior to this, I have had daily issues with the sound mildly increasing and decreasing Independent of the road noise. I am now very fearful that this noise will happen again. If it had happened while I was driving the pain was intense enough to make me have an accident. I am concerned for hearing damage. Since it just happened and it is after hours, I have not taken it to the dealer yet. There were no warning lights or alarms before this happened,

The floor board is missing underneath the driver's side. I can see what looks like gears. Not quite sure. Difficulty with braking. Hard to stop. I hear flapping noises coming from rear of vehicle when driving. Not quite if it's the suspension
