2022 Ford Bronco Complaints

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM — Filed 07/20/2026

On 7/19/26, I was driving my 2022 Ford Bronco Wildtrak and attempting to turn left across oncoming traffic. When I pressed the accelerator to complete the turn, the vehicle hesitated and failed to accelerate as expected. An approaching vehicle had to decelerate abruptly and honk to avoid a collision. My Bronco is subject to NHTSA Recall 25V-455/Ford Campaign 25S75 concerning loss of fuel pressure and fuel flow caused by low-pressure fuel-pump failure. I am concerned that the hesitation was related to the recalled fuel-pump condition. There were no injuries or collision, but the loss of expected acceleration created an immediate safety risk. The recall remedy is not currently available. I am requesting that NHTSA document and evaluate this incident.

Cracks in left rear of roof theirs a recall ones that painted but not on the matt finish one. My 2022 Ford Bronco 2 door is showing the same problems as the paint ones. And Ford Dealership said they at least a dozen or more around his dealership with the same issue. And online I have been told of 100s. Have the same thing happening to their Broncos the years 2021 to 2024 even ones sit on lots for with the same problems.

2022 Ford Bronco 2.7L EcoBoost VIN [XXX] has experienced recurring engine oil pressure failure causing vehicle to enter limp mode limiting speed to 25mph creating an unsafe driving condition. Diagnostic trouble codes P0524 Engine Oil Pressure Too Low and P06DD Engine Oil Pressure Control Stuck Off confirmed. Two failed warranty repair attempts at Lenoir City Ford Lenoir City TN on XXX and XXX. Dealership provided loaner vehicle both times acknowledging vehicle was unsafe to drive. Ford corporate case number XXC is open. Third repair attempt scheduled XXX.” INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

35 miles out of [XXX] on Monday, XXX our Bronco loss fuel flow in the fast lane of [XXX] and stalled while going 70mph we were surrounded by trucks also going 70mph, unexpectedly mid morning. No warning . Almost got rear ended and had to safely drift over to reach the side of the road. Very terrifying with cars going very fast behind us. We attempted to restart the Bronco and it started a few times and sputtered out. I immediately called the closest Ford dealership Gaudin and they dispatched a tow truck. The temperature was very hot and we waited for 1.5 hrs in the desert sun. The dealer provided a rental but I was not allowed to leave NV nor go more than 50 miles, they confirmed that it was a bad fuel pump. I did not receive the car back until Friday 6/19/26. This incident occurred on my first day of VC planned in [XXX]. My whole vacation was ruined, unexpected expenses, and the stress of having to drive with a defective part when it’s fixed is a problem. We have to drive back to LA and I can’t miss work. We took the vehicle to Gaupin in LA to have it serviced before this trip even an oil change on 6/11/26. They assured us that all was well, only 2 recalls showed up- rear camera and a seat adjustment bolt . Why didn’t the dealer tell us about the fuel pump and the dangers. The vin number has a listed “1 un-repaired recall - fuel pump dated 7/2025. Manufacturer #XXX, NHTSA# 25V455. No notice has come through the mail and then it states Recall incomplete in red. If it was known that the fuel pump could fail, how are owners allowed to drive around without a complete recall, and without a fix. The dealer said they are going to announce on Jun 29. Well in our case that’s a little too late. Am I supposed to drive with a defective fuel system??? They replaced the fuel pump with another new pump that will have the same issue, not a fix. On June 19 later that evening after fueling it up, a service engine light came on with exhaust system issues.

Ford has issued a recall for 2021- Jan 2022 hard tops. Mine is a June 2022 with the same issues but not listed in the recall. This has been a known issue for the life span of the Bronco.

While operating the vehicle under load, the vehicle suffered a sudden and severe loss of engine performance, followed immediately by loud metallic banging from the engine bay. The vehicle lost all power and was immediately disabled (LIMP MODE), presenting an imminent highway safety hazard.The Physical Damage: Subsequent mechanical teardown revealed deep vertical cylinder wall scoring, heavy raw fuel residue in the engine oil pan, and a blown head gasket. Relationship to Active Safety Defect: This catastrophic block failure perfectly mirrors the progressive failure profile of NHTSA Campaign 25V455 / Ford Safety Recall 25S75 (Low-Pressure Fuel Pump Failure). Internal component degradation in the fuel tank delivery module dropped fuel pressure to the engine. Under turbo boost, this starvation induced an extreme, instantaneous lean-out condition. The resulting low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) exploded and shattered the internal piston rings (the metallic banging), leading to mechanical wall gouging, unburnt fuel wash into the lower crankcase, and a secondary blown head gasket. Request for Action: Ford's current VIN parameters for Recall 25S75 have not yet captured my specific vehicle despite it matching the exact production window, component setup, and catastrophic failure sequence. I am requesting that the NHTSA log this case as clear evidence of consequential engine destruction originating from the 25V455 pump defect, and evaluate whether Ford's recall scope must be expanded to protect other consumers from highway engine failures.

The Incident: While operating the vehicle under high load, the driver received an explicit "Service Engine Soon" powertrain malfunction alert stating: "The powertrain control module lost communication with the vehicle active grill shutter module for a period of time." Immediately following this warning, the engine experienced a severe loss of power, followed by loud metallic banging from the engine bay. The vehicle stalled completely and lost all motive power, creating an imminent highway safety hazard.The Physical Damage: Subsequent mechanical teardown by the dealership revealed terminal block destruction, including deep vertical cylinder wall scoring, heavy unburnt liquid gasoline residue in the engine oil pan, and a blown head gasket.Relationship to Active Safety Defect: This catastrophic engine failure mirrors the progressive failure profile of NHTSA Campaign 25V455 / Ford Safety Recall 25S75 (Low-Pressure Fuel Pump Failure). In this EcoBoost architecture, the Active Grill Shutter (AGS) module shares critical voltage paths, grounding blocks, and wiring looms with the engine management and fuel delivery systems. The sudden network communication loss is diagnostic proof of a severe voltage drop or electrical short caused by the high-friction fuel pump degradation detailed in Recall 25S75. This circuit failure instantly starved the engine of fuel under turbo boost, inducing an extreme lean-out condition. The resulting pre-ignition forces violently shattered the internal piston rings (the loud banging), which then gouged the cylinder walls, wiped out compression, fouled the crankcase with fuel residue, and blew the head gasket.Request for Action: Ford's current VIN parameters for Recall 25S75 have not yet captured my specific vehicle despite it matching the exact production window, component setup, and catastrophic failure sequence. I am requesting that the NHTSA log this case as definitive evidence of consequential engine destruction originating from the 25V455 fue
