Man, I bet that made your butt pucker. Nice work getting out of that situation unscathed. I just had my '22 2.7L light up like a Christmas tree with various brake and other error warnings when I started it up to run an errand. They cleared when I shut it down and restarted. But now I anxious something is going to happen while driving. I am already working through the warranty claim process on a hard top issue, noticed a taillight has condensation and now this......

OP here. So it happened again. This time the entire dash lit up / and continues to - brakes went out yet again. @Ford Motor Company How can this be safe? This time it seemed like everything just went out all at once for no reason:

- Check Brake System
- Park Brake, Limited Function Service Requested
- Hill Start Assist Not Available
- Pre Collision Assist Not Available
- Service AdvanceTrac
- ABS Brake Fault

This happened to me a few hours ago!! I finished cleaning the interior of my 2022 Everglades (2,100 miles) and attempted to crank the vehicle and I was presented with every single one these messages!! My Bronco is dead, it will not crank, nothing works!! WTF. Now I have to have it towed to dealership…..

You don't have to have it towed anywhere... you could troubleshoot and fix it yourself instead.

BTW, what wax did you use?

@Ford Motor Company will be by any second now to address your problem.

I Have tried troubleshooting it myself.

I have disconnected the battery several times to reset the computer, but that didn’t work.

I have tried a method in several videos regarding the issue: the turn on vehicle (not engine), press accelerator pedal while releasing the park brake, turn off vehicle, turn on again within 5 seconds, didn’t work.

The Bronco will not crank, brake pedal seems stuck and can barely be pressed, windows do not work, 12” console screen doesn’t display, doors cannot be locked/unlocked from inside, Ford app will no longer connect to the vehicle, it’s basically bricked in the driveway.

This is unacceptable! I’m extremely disappointed about it.

Imagine if I was placed in the same situation as Oly (OP), or over-landing or off-roading, or on some very long stretch of highway late at night in freezing temps, etc….”luckily” it happened in the driveway at home.

I didn’t clean the outside, but when I do I use Griot’s Garage 3-in-1 Ceramic wax over entire exterior except glass and tires, I use other products for those surfaces.

This s should be a recall and not just a TSB. Someone could die because of this
I had this happen to me in January. Luckily it happened after I exited the interstate and had reduced my speed. Still, I almost rear ended the vehicle in front of me.
@Ford - do the right thing and upgrade this to a recall

Have you tried FORSCAN, FDRS, and/or a multimeter? What fuses/relays have you checked?

Troubleshooting involves more than chanting and swinging a chicken overhead while stepping on the brake pedal.
