Owner's ford bronco 2022 continues to exhibit unsafe behavior: where after entering 4L, reversing and then moving forward (manual transmission), the rear camera will not disable until the vehicle is shut off. Despite active recall sent from Ford (in post card) as well as present on NHTSA on this vehicle (ford bronco 2022) after reaching the dealership in person, calling ford headquarters. Ford motor company mentions there is no active recall, software is updated, and there is nothing they are able to do.

The soft top on the 2022 four door Bronco does not properly latch. I know earlier years and some 2022s were recalled for this but mine has not been recalled and it needs to be addressed. Also the back up camera and 360 cameras do not work

When set to high speed the wipers after a brief period will "slow down to protect the wiper motor" or something, creating a situation where in even mild rain the car forces the wipers to slow down making it unsafe. Clearly... Ford has severely under spec'd the wiper motor/gearbox hardware and "fixed" it with software making the vehicle unsafe where it will just randomly decide that high speed wiper's are not available anymore.

This vehicle is supposed to be flat tow able. If I go to flat tow this car it will lock up the wheels during the first hour or so while towing behind my motor home using a supplemental braking system. I find out later from a forum online that I need to remove some fuses to tow it properly. I hear Ford is working on this issue for a couple years but how many tire lock ups before someone gets hurt?

The 2022 Bronco is listed as being able to be flat towed behind a motorhome and the software allows it to be put into flat tow mode. 49 states require that flat towed vehicles over a certain weight have supplemental braking. When the supplemental brake system is installed in a Bronco with the 2.7 liter engine it stops working correctly after 45 minutes because the electronic brake booster shuts off. This results in the supplemental braking system not having enough power to activate the brakes and can cause a serious accident because the motorhome cannot stop soon enough. Ford issued TSB 22-2210 to temporarily correct this issue but it simply disables the electronic brake booster (must remove fuses) and again leaves the towed vehicle with insufficient braking. Ford claims they are working a software update due out in September 2022, it is now mid October and no recall has been issued.

Bronco base had no option for tow package but for $195 option 66C is a factory install auxiliary switches. Switch 1 is wired to 30 amps or 360 watts @12 v. This option has 2 parts. The second parts are not attached. Ford states the installer is liable, even though the factory supplies low wattage 16amp (1.5mm2) wires in various parts of the Bronco. When fasten to switch one at 360 watts (30 amps) the low wattage 16 AGW will heat and can cause a fire in the vehicle. The smell of the low wattage burning can be detected. Ford uses an old accessory wiring harness with a power module to supply wattage to a trailer for lights and braking. It was reported that when the trailer brake control module not installed by factory since option on certain model Broncos, the emergency braking module would be activate correctly and the sway controls had to disabled. Issues have been filed with Ford, but Ford has not responded on Bronco Base models.

Windows don-€™t drop down when opening the door, and they don-€™t rise when closing the door as they used to do it. Brake light came on and brakes look good no one is taking responsibility.
