When driving down the highway at 80 MPH, vehicle lost all infotainment and instrument panel. This happened several times, battery and alternator were tested and returned nothing. Upon completion of the drive, the vehicle would not start and the alternator had to be replaced.
The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that while pulling out of a parking lot, and driving approximately 20 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was not able to be restarted. The contact’s husband jumpstarted the vehicle, but the failure persisted.
Vehicle started on its own, no remote start scheduled or activity. Online forums suggested battery failure and two days later battery was dead. Battery replaced. Filed complaint with Ford seeking answers regarding safety concerns and took to Ford dealership for inspection and service.
On I drove my 2022 Bronco to the local car wash, after washing my vehicle the vehicle would not start. I realized it was the battery when no electronics turned on. This occurred in the midafternoon, and I was fortunate to be parked in an area that was busy.
