Just got word from the dealer that the source of failure with my Bronco (9.3k mile 2.7) was a bad internal voltage regulator. It died on me yesterday at an intersection.

Voltage dropped, lost a bunch of systems and then it stalled out and died completely. Totally dead.

My dealer is fantastic, got it right in and is working hard to get it fixed. He told me it was just a bad part from the factory.

Curious if anyone else has run into this specific issue or if this truly is a complete freak incident? Obv any part electrical or mechanical can fail, but figured it might be worth a discussion.

It's going to take me a minute to trust it again after having a stall in the middle of the road/intersection and needing to call 911 for immediate aid (no power = no hazards or any helpful warning for people).
