It has been over a month and there is no fix for the recall, this is extremely scary and dangerous as the car can lose power at any time.

I was driving and the vehicle cut off completely. Lost all power and brakes and steering while driving. I hit the vehicle in front of me. The car would not restart. It got towed to the dealer. It has no power. The hazard lights would not even turn on and car could not be put in neutral to move. I was on a busy road so it was very scary while waiting on a tow truck.

On Saturday, [XXX], my 2021 Ford Bronco Sport with approx. 33,900 miles completely shutdown and lost all power to engine and accessories while driving the vehicle in traffic. It started making a ticking sound that could not be stopped, it could not be restarted, and no accessories to include hazard lights could be turned on. I had to call the police, as my daughter and I were in the middle of traffic and cars were honking at us and I could not move the vehicle nor signal that it had died. The police arrived and since I was blocking traffic they are required to initiate a tow (which I had to pay $150 for), since they will not risk waiting hours for individual roadside assistance to arrive. The car has been towed to Ourisman Ford in Alexandria, VA, where it still presently remains as their only solution was to recommend battery replacement. There was NO warning prior to losing all power while stopped at a traffic light. I easily could have been hit while I waited for the police to arrive without any way to signal to other drivers that my car was immobilized. Ford continues to be of little assistance.

My son and I slowed at a light to turn right. The vehicle completely shut down in traffic. We couldn-??t put the car in neutral. We couldn-??t turn the hazard lights on and couldn-??t jump the vehicle. Luckily we were going slow traveling approx 10-15mph. Our emergency jump machine eventually worked after about 10 minutes, but the console screen remained blank and we drove straight to the dealer, but on Saturdays they don-??t have any actual maintenance. The only thing they said they can do is test the battery. After a search on the internet, this has happened to lots of people. Some 2021 Ford Bronco Sports have been recalled, but mine isn-??t listed. My question to Ford is, if this is a known issue why are they risking people-??s lives? Again luckily we weren-??t on the highway or even busier traffic.

Dec 2023- Car was being driven at about 75mph when it quickly began coming to a stop. Took it into the dealer and they fixed something to do with a transmission switch. April 2024- Car was being driven and it came to a complete stop while in drive in the middle of the road. Nothing would work. Had to have it towed. Currently waiting updates from the dealer.

I had driven for about 30 minutes, without turning the car off, I had just picked my fiancé up at the train and was slowing down for a stop sign. The car just stopped completely the lights flashed and powered down and I couldn-??t do anything with the drive shift or even get the flashers on. Luckily we were coming to a stop anyway, but for majority of the time I was without flashers lights or anything and it was getting dark. We are in Virginia working and are usually traveling the interstate at the time but happened to do separate modes. I don-??t know what could have happened had I been going 70 on the highway at night. I keep trying to start the car and was eventually able to put it in park but wasn-??t able to get it into neutral or anything else. After multiple start attempts I am able to get the flashers on but as I keep trying to start it was turning the flashers off. I called for assistance through the ford app and they said it would be 2 hours before someone could come. We were able to get a jump and it came back on and when it did every single warning light was on for a moment and it went back to normal and our friend followed us over to the dealer to drop off. Before this while driving I had no errors and my app said my status was green. I had no notifications of issues from the ford app or my vehicle. Right as it was shutting down it did show a ac warning of some sort. Otherwise no errors. It is currently at a ford dealer and I am waiting to hear back with what they say.

The car completely died with no warning and no electrical systems available at a stop sign. I had to waive traffic around since emergency flashers didn't work. Tried to jump with a jumping station, and a truck with an older battery which didn't work. Only minor clicking and electrical systems turned on. Had to use a car with a brand new battery in order to get car started to drive home <1mi.

As I was driving with my wife on our way back home, my vehicle flashed every warning light, and my dashboard went dark. I was going about 40-?"45 mph, the engine was still running, and we made it home, which was only less than 2 miles from my house. As I was driving on my way home, the media console had this message: "vehicle network communication error, " but once home, I could not get the SUV to shift into park, and it suddenly shut off on it's own. My 2021 Bronco Sport is still under Ford's manufacturer warranty. I requested a tow from the Ford app to have it delivered to Hacienda Ford Service of Edinburg, Texas, and a payment of $201.09 was required to dispatch a tow service. A couple of days later, I got a call that my SUV was ready, the battery might of been in a low state of charge, and there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. The dealership service manager claimed on the phone to have never heard of a "vehicle network communication error." I even took pictures of the error message on my phone, but the dealership had no desire to even take a look at the video or pictures of the vehicle network communication error message. If it happens again, at least I know how to temporarily fix the vehicle's malfunction. The tow truck driver disconnected the battery for 15 minutes and was able to get the vehicle to start and shift it back to park. So I ended up paying $201.09 to have the privilege for Hacienda Ford Service to tell me my battery might of been at a low state of charge while I was driving.

On February 5, 2024, the engine of a Bronco Sport shut off while driving and the dashboard lights began flashing with multiple warnings and notifications. The car would not restart and the gear shift was locked, preventing the driver from moving the vehicle out of the road during rush hour traffic. A tow truck was called, but after 30 minutes, the driver was able to restart the car and canceled the tow truck. The car was taken to the dealership on February 6, 2024, but the cause of the incident has not been diagnosed. On February 4, 2024, the driver attempted to start the engine, but the dashboard lights began flashing with multiple warnings and notifications and the engine would not start. The driver called a tow service, who jump-started the battery and informed the driver that the battery was not completely dead. The driver also discovered that the power steering had failed. The car was taken to the dealership on February 5, 2024, where it was diagnosed as a battery cable issue. The cable was replaced and the power steering was fixed. Dealership indicated that two repairs were unrelated. On December 8, 2023, the driver drove the car approximately 20 miles home, but upon exiting the car, the dashboard lights began flashing with multiple warnings and notifications and the engine would not start.

The incident first happened while on my way to work. After driving about 2 miles I came to stopped at a stoplight. My car completely shut off and the engine died. When trying to restart the car, I got multiple battery failure messages, and it appeared that the battery died somehow. There were absolutely no warnings beforehand. I was also unable to successfully get the vehicle into neutral because even after pulling the shifter override, I could not disengage the electric parking break. I had to get the car towed to the dealership from the middle of a busy road. The car spent 2 weeks at the first dealership. They were unable to diagnose the issue, and ultimately did nothing, stating that the battery was passing all tests so they could not replace it. 2.5 months later, my batter died again without warning (luckily this time in my driveway). I-??ve taken it to a different dealership this time (after filing a complaint with Ford). This dealership again is telling me that the battery is passing tests so they can-??t replace it, and that they have no idea why it failed (twice now!) Something is clearly wrong with the car -?" batteries/engines do not just die in the middle of driving for no reason. But so far Ford has refused to put the effort into figuring out why this is happening.

Our Bronco will be driving and all of a sudden the "Battery Charging System Service Now" warning comes on and then if you keep driving it will show "System off to save Battery" "Please turn ignition off or start vehicle".. And the major problem is the engine is still of and we were in a turn lane in the middle of and intersection so when we stopped the car turned off and we were almost hit my a semi that was going 60mph. Once I got out I put a jump pack on it and it started right up and all the lights went off but then today it happened it again!

While at stop light, engine shut off (auto start-stop). Wouldn't restart, car would not move, automatically went into park, wouldn't go into neutral to be moved, and was stuck. Had to manually release the vehicle into neutral to be moved. Battery was completely dead, replacement solved the issue. Battery was less than 2 years old. Approx. 50k miles.

I am currently on my Third battery. Prior to getting this third car battery, there was numerous electrical issues randomly occurring. I read that there is a current investigation going on with Bronco Sports just stopping, could it be batteries failing and not being g detected?? Just wanted you to know. The first time I had dealership replace battery, they said it tested "fine" I had to insist something be done, which led them to try replacing the original battery. Since it's happened before the dealership just replaces the batteries and then stuff works normally. Can't recall dates off hand, but at home I have paperwork with dates.
