We received a Important Safety Recall from Ford in February 2023 (22S73, NHTSA Recall 22V859). We have been trying unsuccessfully since receiving the notice to get this repair done at AutoNation Ford Torrance (3111 E Pacific Coast Hwy, Torrance, CA 90505) but they keep telling us the parts are not available. On the phone for over an hour today with Ford Customer Service... Ford is saying parts ARE available, but when they call the dealership in Torrance, the dealership says it is first come first served. We have been calling for almost 2 months now repeatedly yet they will not fix this recall. Was recently given the name Mark Grobs who is parts manager in at AutoNation Ford Torrance, and a phone numebr if 310-78404782 and was told we need to call him every week and try to get a hold of him when he has a part in stock, not that he is going to call us when it's in stock, WE HAVE TO CALL HIM and HOPE he has a part in stock! My Ford case number is 42492668CX5Z9

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V859000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle hesitated while accelerating. Additionally, the engine made rattling sounds while driving. Additionally, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle immediately while the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle also lunged forward while coming to a complete stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and Ford Pro Commercial Center (525 N 16th St, Sacramento, CA 95811) on separate occasions; however, the dealers were unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 549. Parts distribution disconnect.

In the last three weeks the check engine light has come on twice and stayed on after I started the vehicle. The first time it came on I had about 7800 miles on the vehicle. I called the dealership to see if I could get a service appointment (of course it was a Friday afternoon), the earliest appointment was the next Wednesday. I was told as long as the light was not flashing, I could drive the vehicle. I was also told to check the gas cap/door (there is no gas cap!) because there could be an air in the fuel line. As it turned out the light went off the next day. When I took the car in for service, I was told they did the "smoke" test, and everything checked out ok. Three week later the check engine light has come on again. It is a steady light, not flashing, taking it back to the dealership.

Started my car and started down the driveway and all types of warnings with of about my engine overheating. Checked the antifreeze and there was none. Applied antifreeze and it drained into the engine. I had this vehicle for 2 months and it has been at the dealership since April 28,2022. was told there was a crack in the engine.

Brand new vehicle with about 3500 miles on it. Delivered 04/29/2022. On three separate occasions between 07/29/2022 - 07/31/2022, the vehicle started jerking/losing acceleration while driving and the engine began to sputter. Upon slowing down and during idle, the engine would continue sputtering to low RPM and eventually stall. This happened while driving on the road, almost resulting in an accident in a roundabout during one of the instances. The error I received via the Ford Pass app is: The Engine Control System is unable to control the fuel system pressure as expected. This is clearly a defective product, and so far Ford and Ford and Ford dealerships have offered me little options for repair often stating that it could be more than a month to fix with no options for a loaner vehicle. This is unacceptable. I have video proof of one of the incidents I am willing to share, but I cannot upload it to this form.

Car had 3000 miles on it, started rough idling randomly then the check engine light came on and was flashing. Drove straight to the Ford Dealership in Elko, Nevada and barely made it the 5 miles as the car wanted to die, had gas pedal all the way to the floor and was barely going 30 mph. Dealer has had vehicle for over a week and said a core and plug and deactivator solenoid had to be replaced.
