I know I am a new to the site but need to get this out to folks.
I would like to tell you all a little story. I watched the NEW Bronco get announced a couple of years ago and got on the list to get one of these trucks. Fast forward to ordering the vehicle, going and doing the off-rodeo in Moab and experiencing what the vehicle could do. I was thinking to myself this is exciting and can’t wait to get my truck. About one and a half years later we got a 4 door 2022 Bronco Wildtrak.
The wife and I were excited to take it on a trip, so we loaded the car up and went to Durango and Palisades for our birthdays. Was a good trip until we got to Palisades. We went to start the truck and is sputtered and died which was weird. We called the Ford dealership in Grand Junction to see if they could run a diagnostic on it and they told us we can get to in about 2 weeks. The vehicle was still running so we decided to cut our birthday bash short and head home. We get home safely but as soon as we turn off the car it would not start again. Towed it to our local Ford dealership and they took some time to do diagnostic on the vehicle and informed us that the fuel pump module had failed and needed to be replaced. They did the repair, and we got the car back.
Fast forward a month later. We are driving to Costco to get some gas and boom it dies in the Costco parking lot and will not start. We tow it to the closest Ford Dealer. They said they can look at in in about 3 weeks to a month. We have it moved to a dealership closer to home Mike Maroone Ford, within a couple of days they diagnose that the fuel pump module has failed again. We inform them of the last problem, so they dug around and think the issue is the fuel pump but do not know for sure. They recommended we replace the fuel pump and the module this time. They informed us that the fuel pump was on back order, so the vehicle sat in the dealership for a month and a half waiting for the fuel pump. Getting a rental car was another adventure with Ford and the dealership. They eventually got the part, installed it and gave the vehicle back to us. On the way home we decided to go to one of our favorite breweries and celebrate getting the Truck back. We get a beer and drive it home to find the gas tank hanging about 6 inches from the ground. I climb under the vehicle an see that all but two of the bolts holding the tank in was gone. So we towed it back to the dealership and some heated discussions later they fixed this issue.
We got the car back and to test it out we loaded up the truck and headed to Palisades to drink some wine for our anniversary. We get up to the hotel we here staying at and parked and checked in. When we went to move the vehicle, it attempted to start but sputters and dies and will not start again. Again, we load it up on a tow truck and send it to the local Ford dealer. They said it is in line and they are about 30 days out. We are about 200+ miles from home and they cannot look at it for 30 days. We start calling around to see if anyone can help. Not really any help. We call Ford, I was on the phone with Ford for about 4 hours trying to get something done. They said we will transport it to your local dealership for 3500 dollars, I may have cursed a bit at the representative, but we finally got a person to help us and get the car transported to our local dealer.
Currently, the truck now sits at our local dealership, and they said it will be about 5 day for a diagnostic. That is where we are at with this 2022 Ford Bronco Wildtrak. We have had the vehicle for about 5 months, and it has sat in a Ford dealership for 3 of those 5 months. This has been a very unreliable vehicle; I cannot imagine if we were on the side of a mountain, and it breaks like what has happened with the fuel pump module. Need to vent this to the world and hopefully someone in Ford will go “hmmm” we may have some quality issue. Thanks for reading if you make it this far.
