2024 Ford Bronco Sport Recalls, Ratings & Complaints

Incident: July 14, 2026 · Filed: October 25, 2026

The vehicle shut off and lost power while I was driving this July. It happened while I was in the turning lane, about to turn onto the interstate. There were no warning lights on the dashboard, so I had no indication of an issue or any forewarning that the vehicle would shut off. When it shut off, it then restart but would not allow me to use the gas. The engine and battery light came on. Had I made it onto the highway and had the vehicle shut off, the situation could have been significantly more dangerous. Luckily the cars behind me were paying attention and able to swerve around my sporadic spot without any warning from a brake light. I had the vehicle towed to Ford for repair. They said it was an issue with the fuel tank sensor and they repaired it. The exact same thing happened again, less than two months later in early September, this time while I was in the middle of a busy intersection. Again the car behind me slammed on his brakes and I flipped on my hazards and inched slowly to a safe spot. The same lights came on, but when I turned the car off and back on, all the lights were off. Ford replaced the fuel line, but they haven’t been able to find what caused it to shut off or recreate the issue.

On Sunday XXX I left my property at [XXX] and at the first stop sign, I braked but the vehicle accelerated causing me to jam the breaks and the engine immediately died. After restarting, and in drive at the stop sign, the vehicle accelerated on its own with my foot on the break, I jammed the breaks and the engine again quit. In this fashion, I returned the vehicle to my property and then had it towed to Palm Coast Ford: [XXX], s [XXX]. When loading the vehicle for towing, the vehicle even though “in neutral” as indicated on the dash, was in gear also causing a safety issue for the tow driver and myself. Note – this vehicle will not shift to neutral unless the vehicle’s engine is on. This situation was extremely dangerous and put myself and others in harm’s way. A vehicle under any circumstances should not “self-accelerate” not the engine die while in operation. A precursory review by Palm Coast Ford technicians suggested a fault with the transmission’s torque convertor preventing the vehicle shifting to neutral.

I own a 2024 Ford Bronco Sport equipped with the 1.5L EcoBoost 3-cylinder engine. On September 22, 2026, I remote-started the vehicle for approximately 10 minutes before leaving for work. The engine temperature reached its normal operating temperature, but the HVAC system produced no warm air even with the temperature set to 84°F/HI. I drove approximately 15 minutes to work and still had no heat. I subsequently inspected the coolant reservoir and found the coolant level to be extremely low. I added approximately one-half gallon of the correct 50/50 coolant. After adding the coolant, the vehicle produced hot air from the heater again during the drive home. After parking the vehicle, I checked the coolant reservoir again several hours later and found that the coolant level had dropped back to essentially empty. I did not observe any coolant on the ground or an obvious external leak. When I opened the coolant reservoir cap after the vehicle had been sitting for more than two hours, I heard pressure escaping from the system. The vehicle has not displayed an obvious overheating condition, and the temperature gauge has remained at its normal operating position. I have scheduled an appointment with a Ford dealer to diagnose the vehicle. I am reporting this because Ford has issued technical service bulletins concerning loss of engine coolant from a coolant-pump leak on 2021–2024 Ford Bronco Sport vehicles equipped with the 1.5L EcoBoost engine. TSB 25-2063 superseded 25-2016, and a subsequent TSB, 25-2428, superseded 25-2063. These bulletins identify coolant-pump leakage and prescribe pressure testing, cooling-system flushing, and coolant-pump replacement when the condition is confirmed. I am concerned about the rapid loss of coolant and the possibility of engine damage or an overheating event if the condition is not detected.
