| Oct 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | When I purchased my vehicle I noticed the round rod that contains the backup camera, which is mounted on the spare tire bracket to be all scratched and scruffed up. The dealership (Hawk Ford, Carol Stream) agreed to replace this. Their are scratches inside where the camera sits around the threading and the rod it self is all banged up. I showed the dealer ship this and they replaced the mounting bracket, not the rod so when I got my car back I contacted them right away and sent before and after pictures. Manager went into lot and said all of the other ones he checked had the same issue. He was going to contact Ford to see if they were aware and how to go about this concern affecting my vehicle and all others on their lot. It should be new with no physical defects, but it appears used. When you buy a new car, you expect everything to be new and look new but this does not. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SEAT BELTS,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | The display panel for the speedometer and gas would not work or display anything. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | Description of the Problem: The issue involves the speakers and radio system in my 2025 Ford Bronco. The audio system intermittently cuts out completely, resulting in a total loss of sound. This includes music, phone calls via Bluetooth, and most importantly, navigation voice instructions. The component (the vehicle’s speaker/radio system) is still installed in the vehicle and available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk: This malfunction poses a safety risk while driving. When using navigation, if the sound cuts out unexpectedly, I am forced to look down at my device for directions, which distracts me from the road and increases the risk of an accident. In modern vehicles where navigation and hands-free systems are standard for safe driving, losing audio output directly impacts driver safety. Reproduction and Confirmation: The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by my local Ford dealership on two separate visits. The service department acknowledged that they are aware of the issue affecting multiple vehicles but stated that there is currently no available fix from Ford. Inspection: The vehicle has been inspected by the Ford dealership twice. They ran diagnostics and confirmed the issue originates from the speaker/radio system, but no replacement or repair has been offered at this time. The manufacturer (Ford) has not provided a technical service bulletin or recall to address it. Warning Signs or Messages: There were no warning lamps, error messages, or prior symptoms before the failure. The sound loss occurs randomly while driving, without any visible indicator or pattern. The first occurrence was shortly after purchasing the vehicle in September 2025, and the issue has continued intermittently since. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I was driving the vehicle on high mountain pass roads in Colorado. Anytime I would approach approximately 11,400 feet of elevation. The vehicle would instantly lose all power with no warning lights of any kind. All gauges were in the normal operating range. Vehicle would barely move 2 mph. Created a very unsafe condition on narrow steep dirt roads in the mountains. As soon as I turned around and descended approximately 100 feet in elevation the power came back instantly and vehicle operated normally. This happened on three occasions. The roads we were on were narrow, off-road vehicle mountain roads, and it created an extremely dangerous situation. I contacted Ford and they have not heard of this issue and there are no recalls associated with it. I spoke to a Ford bronco ambassador, who was also on the trail system with a lot of other off-road vehicles, including Broncos and they had never heard of this happening . This vehicle is Six months old. Ford says there are no codes set on my computer and since they cannot duplicate this where I live in Phoenix because there are no roads high enough I don’t know where to turn. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Apr 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | When starting my commute to work and when returning home, the instrument panel and gauges display would not turn on.
