Being a retired cop I had to say that! You know the cop/firefighter rivalry thing!?

What a small world. Congrats on your daughters shooting, I would be proud too! Wishing her and you the best of luck. I learned shooting at Livermore range as a kid too, at the age of 14. Sold my home last year in Livermore and full time in Tahoe now collecting PERS. Worked at LAPD and San Leandro.

You may notice the mismatch in my signature stating Simpsonville, SC, the thread I posted, and well, where I am presently...Folsom. I moved our family to SC in July as I finish out my career as a fire captain with Folsom Fire Dept., just down the hill from you. September 23, 2022 is my punch-out date. Congrats on your move and thanks for your service. Looking forward to being on the other side very soon!!! I'll be driving our current Bronco out to my wife and daughter once mine arrives. My daughter is already crushing it out in SC on her new shooting team. She has now added sporting clays and skeet to her repertoire. Love the sound of her turning money into noise!

No where does it suggest anything about rape or war.

You think OP has a disorder?

Rude.

I thank you for your service! My respect is huge for your career. Only had to try to enter a burning building once in uniform and got too scary not being to breath and feeling my wool uniform getting hot, before going back out. Plus my neighborhood was saved due to the firefighting this summer in Tahoe. Stay safe and get to the end and enjoy your home, family and Broncos in retirement.

My bad. I’ll tag you from now on when I see a production error from Ford.

it's just stupid. lol

So did the op ever find out what was wrong sounds like just a bad sensor

I know it’s mostly pointless but I have to shame someone from Ford. Haha

Thx posting your experience. Were you using cruise-control ?

There's another thread w similar reports. Seems they were all using cruise-control at the time. Not sure why that would matter

Yes, he just verified cruise was on when he was driving. Definitely taking it in for service.

What kind of question is that? Stick to what’s important man!
What is your employment and/or service history?
What is your definition of PTSD?
What does your wife look like?
I kid. No definitive answer yet. Thanks to the OP for posting, so that we can be aware, and prepared in the event of a similar situation. I’m glad there were no accidents, and everyone was ok.

Actually the OP did post this which indicates to me that they found the issue does it not? - "That was it - Got more info from shop. They replaced the vacuum booster line - ‘known issue’. SSM 50314 (diagnostic P050F I believe). Assuming this will be one of the first of many."

PTSD can happen from any source of trauma or traumatic experience, however, the OP is 100% not experiencing PTSD from this experience, guaranteed.

Please feel free to challenge me on that, now accepting any and all wagers.

I don't understand the need to be so in your face regarding your opinion on the subject. The OP shared his experience to let others know about a safety issue and you decide to go off on a tangent about how it's not PTSD. No one really cares. You've added nothing of value to the original post other than stirring up a bunch of drama.

yeah I have an FE. Ford didn’t cancel mine, I was a day one reservation and picked it up November 1st. Brakes have gone out twice since. But yeah, mine is the 2.7, so possibly a universal problem.

You have a FE, correct? For some reason, I remember you having to buy your FE on the secondary market because Ford cancelled your reservation. If so, then your problems would be associated with the 2.7.

That is correct. They replaced the vacuum booster line - ‘known issue’. SSM 50314 (diagnostic P050F I believe).

Glad you made it out ok. Scary.

Ford just recalled half the Bronco Sports made in 2021 for brake issue. Wonder if this is related to issue Ford having with the Sports?

https://news.yahoo.com/ford-recalls-115-000-bronco-140000550.html

If they recall the Bronco just before mine is delivered so the dealer can't sell it to me I'm gonna lose my shit. Rather take my chances with the brakes!

Interesting, must have missed it among the back and forth. For those in the “know” about the “known issue”, is the vacuum hose itself actually failing and blocking itself?
If so, replacing with a new hose of the same manufacture does not seem like a great idea. If not, then where does the blockage come from? And how is it addressed?
Or vacuum line, sorry. Using old terminology, but not sure if it’s rubber or rigid here.
