2022 Ford Bronco Sport service brakes problems

“While driving, an severe and persistent rear brake resonance defect occurs during braking operations. The defect manifests as high-frequency vibration, loud grinding, and low-speed brake shudder/chatter from the rear braking system, impacting vehicle control and braking predictability under normal driving conditions. The affected component is the complete rear brake assembly, which is currently installed on the vehicle and available for inspection upon request. Safety is compromised due to diminished braking feel, driver distraction, severe auditory and tactile resonance during deceleration, and unpredictable pedal performance during low-speed maneuvers and stopping intervals. The defect has been repeatedly reproduced and formally confirmed by an authorized dealership service center over multiple repair attempts. Servicing included the execution of Technical Service Bulletin TSB 25-2438, which failed to remedy the issue. The issue was formally escalated to and evaluated by the vehicle manufacturer. The manufacturer’s Global Technical Assistance Center (GTAC) evaluated the vehicle and documented in writing that no further technical or engineering procedure…”

“Brake components showing signs of failure at 28,000 miles on both front and rear brakes. Safety placed at risk given speed and general use of vehicle which includes passengers. This includes grinding stops, increasing foot pressure used to stop car, and under certain conditions reconsidering use of vehicle. Ford dealership inspected vehicle and is aware of issue and noted TSB (T25-2438) in service visit diagnosis. No warning lights present. Signs first appear as increased brake dust covering rim and tire areas, increasingly loud grinding and squealing of brakes whether in drive or reverse. No remedy provided by Ford despite low mileage and understanding that the issue is not normal wear and tear on vehicle.”

“Brakes moan when reversing at low speeds. Was told it was “normal.” Complete transmission failure—car sputtered and died at the stoplight. Then it would not shift into a gear other than park without dying.”

“I have brought the car in both to Marin Ford and Serramonte Ford for a transmission fluid leak. They have confirmed there is transmission fluid pooling under the hood but are either unable or unwilling to repair the source of the leak. Car is still under warranty - hoping they are not waiting for the warranty to expire and for my the car to start failing. The brakes also make a loud whining noise while driving in reverse on my 2022 Bronco Sport. The people at Serramonte Ford in Colma, CA tell me this is standard for Ford Broncos and Escape and there is not a fix. It sounds like a whale call and hard to believe the issue can't be resolved. I have read other complaints saying the saying the same thing and Ford charging 1k once out of warranty to replace pads, etc.”

“Along with the current unable to be fixed PCM recall, the customer service satisfaction program regarding the drivers side buckle replacement and the replacement of high-pressure fuel injectors that I was told they will only replace if there is an issue because it is not considered a recall. I have had multiple other recalls that were done and several issues that weren't related to recalls. In the first year the bushings were replaced to ease the loud noise when backing up. At 36,0000 miles I had no heat. The water pump failed and was fixed under powertrain warranty. At 41000 miles (just over warranty) the AC stopped working. The condenser failed and was my responsibility to pay. Ford did work out a deal with me on that repair due to all of the other issues I had previously. Currently, my drivers side back seatbelt does not work, the car shudders when driving and recently my forward collision indicator goes off for no reason. I have not reached out to have these items checked yet as I have spent far to much time dealing with Ford. I bought this car to feel safe and confident on the road and I have never felt that. The lack of compassion from Ford for all the…”

“I have had multiple issues with my 2022 Ford Bronco Sport in the past 3 years and there have been multiple recalls. The ac failed at the 2 year mark and the rear brakes also started to make an odd noise intermittently when I would have the vehicle in reverse. I reported it and asked Ted Britt Ford in Fairfax, VA to check it twice (this is the dealership I purchased the vehicle from - I had them check it on 7/3/24 and 9/28/24 and have service records confirming) and they said they could find nothing wrong and there was no recall for it and there was nothing they could do (keeping in mind my vehicle was under warranty at that time). Fast forward to today, I go in for an oil change and mention the rear brakes are making noise again and ask if they can check it for me. They told me there is now a remedy for the issue, acknowledging there wasn't in the past. I mentioned at the time that I had reported and asked about it twice and why should I now have to pay for that when clearly this is a defect that should have been addressed by Ford when I initially reported it (keeping in mind that my vehicle is now out of warranty). Then they tell me I need to replace the front…”
