Incident: October 15, 2026 · Filed: October 31, 2026

On October 15, 2026 I was driving my 2024 Ford Bronco Raptor home on I-285 near [location]. The vehicle stalled completely and would not hold speed at any speed from 35 to 78 mph. While exiting the ramp it stalled and I was nearly rear-ended. The trip normally takes up to two hours and took about three. The day before, about 150 miles from home, the vehicle was skipping, stalling and making an unusual noise, and passengers said the transmission was slipping. The same problem began at about 20,000 miles. The dealer repaired the transmission in July 2026 at 24,075 miles. It returned within about 500 miles. The dealer could not duplicate it in September 2026. In October 2026 the dealer confirmed the problem and replaced the torque converter. The odometer read 26,423 miles on October 29, 2026. There was no crash or injury, but this was a near collision at highway speed. Ford case numbers: CXH-08566342-K5D9F1 and CXH-09640578-G1Z5H1.

I am the homeowner and the mother of the vehicle owner, [XXX]. I am submitting this statement about a fire involving her parked Ford Bronco in my garage. I was the only person home when I discovered the fire. At approximately 8:30 p.m. on XXX, I had just gotten out of my backyard pool when I heard a loud thump that seemed to come from around the garage. After entering the house, I heard another loud sound. When I opened the door between the house and garage, smoke came into the house. I called [XXX]. [XXX] texted me at 8:34 pm as she received a text notification that her tire pressure was low and asked me to check. I went outside through the front door to the driveway and opened the garage door. Black smoke came out. While speaking with [XXX], I obtained a garden hose and returned to the garage, where I saw active flames coming from the rear-left area of the Bronco. I used the hose on the visible flames. Firefighters arrived approximately five minutes later and took over. By then, I had extinguished most of the flames I could see. There were no injuries. The Bronco had last been driven on Saturday night, XXX. [XXX] flew to [XXX] on Sunday, XXX, and returned home Thursday morning, XXX No one used the Bronco during those days. It remained parked in the garage and was not running when I discovered the fire. Smoke entered the house, and there was damage affecting the garage and its electrical system. The full extent of the property damage is still being assessed. The vehicle was moved out of the garage after the fire. Mercury subsequently arranged towing to [XXX] for investigation. The investigator’s last verbal comment to us was that he thought it was the rear taillight. I understand this to be a preliminary opinion, not a final determination. As of XXX, I have not received a written investigative report and do not know what cause the investigator or insurers will ultimately report.

My 2024 Ford Bronco repeatedly loses power without warning while driving, including on highways, suddenly slowing to approximately 32 mph. It also fails to accelerate from traffic lights, leaving me stranded in traffic. Dashboard warnings include Powertrain Malfunction, Service AdvanceTrac, Check 4x4, and Pre-Collision Assist Unavailable. On September 30, 2026, at 9:43 PM, the vehicle lost power on the road, nearly causing a rear-end collision. I have videos documenting six incidents between September 30 and October 15, 2026. This dangerous problem has continued since May 2025. Briarwood Ford has attempted repairs seven times, including replacing the accelerator pedal twice and replacing or repairing the engine wiring harness. The vehicle has been out of service for over 60 days, yet the problem continues. Ford diagnostic data from October 15–16 identified codes P2138, U0401, U0403, and U0418. I no longer trust this vehicle to transport my family to chemotherapy appointments or allow my children to drive it. Sudden power loss in traffic creates a serious risk of injury or death. I request an immediate NHTSA safety investigation into this recurring, unresolved defect.

Front Differential Mount Frame Bracket Cracked Or Broken. See Ford TSB 25-2613 for detail. The Frame Bracket on my vehicle was making a loud clink/clunk sound. The broken bracket was verified by the Ford Dealer on my vehicle and is awaiting a repair. If this failure had occurred during highway speed the left front drive axel would have been placed in a bind and steering could have been lost. A roll over accident could have occurred as a result. Note: I did own a 2022 model of the same type that developed the same sound, Ford dealer verified the sound but did not find the source. The TSB 25-2613 had not been released at that time 9/2025. The 2022 was traded in and has now been resold to an unknown person who possibly has the same Frame Bracket issue.

The component in question is the MIC Hardtop roof of my 2024 Bronco Raptor. It would seem that there is a current delamination on the roof, similarly to what was recalled on the 21-22 models, for the process and equipment parameter showing clear issues to the current bubbling, cracks and separation from the underlaying layer of the roof. It can be shown through cracks, "snake skinning" and clear integrity of the roof with the material dissolving that the roof is degradation. In regards to safety, you can hear the popping and cracking from the inside of the cabin in the vehicle while going any excess of 20mph. The issue in the past with these MIC hardtop roofs that in a worst case scenario, parts of the roof could detach while the vehicle is moving and potentially create a road hazard and increasing crash risk. Upon bringing this issue to Stamford Ford of Connecticut and All American Ford of Paramus of New Jersey, they both notified me that Ford has rejected my claim, even under the current vehicles bumper to bumper factor warranty. Rationale of the rejection being it is to be believed on their end this is contributed to elemental, environmental or chemical causes. In turn, I explained to them if they were to do a simple Google search on official Bronco forums, you will see hundreds if not thousands of people with the same issue where the integrity of the roofs , like Ford MIC roofs in the past, are mysteriously deteriorating where the inside layer is separating to the top. Ford Motor Company claims that they have been provided photographs which I have never been provided to nor have any evidence that they were provided photographic evidence of my roof.

A suspension component on my 2024 Ford Bronco -- the sway bar disconnect device. began reporting malfunction in May of 2026. A service warning for the component appeared on the vehicle status display. The issue caused several control system features to freeze and could not be cleared. The warning was intermittent, but subsequent information from a dealer service revealed that faults were registered in the system OBD files. I took my vehicle to the dealer where I purchased the vehicle three times and they reported to me that they could not find a cause of the warning. This exercise carried on for approximately 3 and a half months. I finally took my vehicle to a second dealer, who diagnosed the issue and effected repairs. Both dealers told me that other Broncos had shown the same problem. Issues with corrosion and perhaps other defects in the component paper to be prevalent. This is an off-road vehicle, advertised to have water fording capability, yet a critical suspension component seems to not be weather proof. My concern is that the replacement parts will fail again at some point, no mention was made of an upgrade to the item that makes t suitable for the advertised use of the vehicle. I fear that this problem may repeat and repeat beyond the warranty period. Also continuing to make my vehicle unsafe and constrained by lack of the dealer and company to address the repairs in a timely fashion.
