Badlands shut off at light abruptly

[Slosh1]

I need some help. My bronco shut off abruptly when coming to a stop and it wasn’t the auto stop. Anyone have an abs fault or something like that? Is there a reset? I tried disconnecting the battery to reset but no luck. At the dealer now, they are scratching their heads.

, need help

Update 01/17/2022: Called Ford customer service again and got in touch with someone who would help. They are contacting the dealer direct now to see what’s going on. We still don’t have a full diagnosis. For those of you that helped with guidance thank you. I will update the group on the findings when we get them.

Update 1/18/22: This morning still being told “next in line” for engine tear down and diagnosis.

Update 02/03/2022: Bronco is finally in the engine bay for diagnosis. Service department said they found metal shavings in the transmission oil. More to come

Update 02/20/2022: Turns out there wasn’t an issue with the trans as they originally thought. Engine is froze up and they are now finally going to make the order.

I called Ford customer service and I found out they closed my claim the same day I opened it at the end of January . Had to open a new claim. No ETA yet on new motor.

2.7 or 2.3?

2.7 liter motor?

If 2.7, when did you get it?

Dont tell me..... 2.7 engine in it?? Ive heard this same thing before and it wasnt battery or electrical at all.

Good luck and I really hope it isnt what I think it is.

$4.79 for gas? WTF? No wonder it shut off. It’s telling you to buy a Tesla or bicycle instead.

Bummer. Hopefully nothing serious. But sounds like the usual 2.7 issue.

I was going to say 2.7 based on @Slosh1 profile... but that definitely isn't a Wildtrak.

Also... $4.79 for gas. Wowzers... I need to stop complaining.

Yeah, guessing 2.7...hope it is not another dead 2.7. Good luck to the OP.

If it's a 2.7 it may be another blown engine. Let's hope not.

Wasn’t there a thread a day or two ago that sounded exactly like this? Shut off at a light and never restarted.

I will check, there’s a lot of posts on here to sort through

I thought a badlands was the only one you can get the high package with non painted door handles. Sorry for the problems and being off topic.

I just got word the starter went out. We shall see if that fixes the issue. It was really strange how the engine shut off. Not normal

pickens party of 5 had the same issue. turned out it was a loose battery connect even though it seemed it was tight.
