Bronco Sport

  • 1,449 miles
The vehicle stalled [halted] on my daughter while in motion in moving traffic. The vehicle became inoperable and was towed to depaula Ford albany NY. The vehicle stalled as a result of a faulty fuel pump and only has 1449 miles. My daughter could have been injured as a result of the vehicle disablement in flowing traffic on a busy city street. Fuel pump replacements are a "substantial defect" that impairs the car's use, value, and most important safety. This is a serious safety defect to the fuel and emission system. Fuel pump problems are typically mileage dependent issues. You typically need to have at least 60K miles on the average vehicle before the fuel pump starts to give out also, if a vehicle's fuel system is at the point where fuel pump replacement is necessary, it is 10 times likely other components are faulty: Electrical connections, fuel injectors, clogged fuel filters, etc. So typically other important components are swapped out at the same time with that being said, the Ford dealership advised the exhaust clamp wasn't tightening correctly so they ordered a new clamp and are putting it on tomorrow. I'm not a mechanic but I have common sense to know this is a component other than the a fuel pump. My daughter is to pick up that vehicle tomorrow and I am very concerned for her safety in this brand new vehicle under 1500 miles! we have kindly asked Ford for a vehicle replacement but I also wanted to inform other avenues because I am concerned for my daughters safety in this current vehicle. The vehicle was purchased for peace of mind and right now we are unsettled! it should immediately be taken off the streets and taken back to the Ford lab for assessment; if this the first ever issue like this for the 2021 Bronco sport respectfully [xxx] on behalf of [xxx], owner of vehicle indian - [xxx] parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
