Defect Description:

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

I’ve owned my 2023 bronco sport for 3-4 weeks and we just had a light rain shower earlier in the morning for the first time in several months. There was no standing water the road was slightly damp. Driving on the interstate if I drove over 45-50 the rear end started sliding or felt like it was about to hydroplane. I was so terrified at one point I was afraid of being hit from behind by traffic going the 70 mph speed limit. I tried to get up to 60-65 but the back end would begin to slip or feel like it was going to slide off the lane. Even the lane assist feature would not keep it straight. Once the Hwy dried, I was able to drive at speed limit without any problems. I called the dealer and they said no complaints had been filed - that I may want to try different tires on it. I looked on the internet and see there have been a lot of issues with the car sliding on wet roads - the traction control is supposed to be engaged when the car is cranked. I did try changing it between all wheel drive and traction control on and off but nothing helped during driving on the slightly damp Hwy.

Defect Description:

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

Ford Sonic Boom: When starting the 2023 Ford Bronco Sport there was a loud bang/crack sound like an enormous piece of hail fell on the car and the windows were cracking. The car started crackling loudly through the speaker system for about 15 minutes. Car was turned off and everybody exited the vehicle and the crackling continued. Read online that this has happened to other 2023 Ford Broncos and also to the Ford F-150. They have done a software update to hopefully fix the F-150, but they have yet to do one for the 2023 Ford Bronco Sport. This can occur while starting the car or while in the middle of driving. Many have reported having to pull over as driving is impossible with the loud crackling sound coming through the speakers. The sound is so loud it can cause drivers to swerve leading to an accident and injury. Took 2023 Ford Bronco Sport to dealership and was told nothing could be done since the fix was for the Ford F-150 not the Ford Bronco. This issue also hits at random and a cause of timing has not be discovered. They could not replicate the sound at the Ford service center. No code showed on the screen so they said nothing could be done. There were no warnings that the sound was going to occur. At first we thought the airbags went off in the compartments or something had blown up outside. I have heard this occurred while people were driving and luckily I was stopped. I am very concerned if this were to happen while driving as the sound is very shocking. I have also been told if this occurred once then it will happen again.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

The transmission has very rough shifts particularly at low speeds between 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear. It feels like the clutch sometimes does not fully engage, and the vehicle over-revs before finally getting into gear. This causes hesitation and poses a safety danger in particular when making turns like left turns in the city from a stop. I am concerned that even with sufficient space, the vehicle will hesitate to accelerate and I could get into an accident. I have not observed any warning lamps or other messages and the vehicle has not yet been inspected. The issue looks very similar or the same as that in NHTSA ID Number: 10231021. I have noticed this behavior since the first date of ownership for this vehicle which I bought new.

My Ford Bronco Sport windshield cracked without a any sign of impact. The crack on the windshield just appeared overnight just below the area of the rearview mirror.

After doing a quick online search it appears that similar issue has happened to other 2023 Ford Bronco Sports.
