Delayed/Hesitating Acceleration on 2022 Base, 2.3L automatic, Sasquatch

[RimrockPaul]

Every Ecoboost Ford I've owned does this. Even my 2.3 OBX.

I've had 5 Ecoboosts. Never any issues.
I'd take it and make them fix it.

I definitely will. Ford has reached out to me and said they are starting a case on the acceleration issue.

My 2.7L Sasquatch has been hesitating on acceleration occasionally, like it falls flat on its face for a second or two, then starts to move. Happening more frequently for some reason, makes pulling out into traffic quite exciting.

THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO ME!!! Ford has started a case for me on this (took delivery on 7/25/22, 2.3L Sasquatch) but yes, same thing, I press my foot down on the gas pedal and there's no resistance and it goes straight down to the floor and the Bronco just sits there like it's trying to grab and then it finally takes and lurches me out into traffic. This has happened FOUR times now and each time it could have been fatal for me. It's frightening and I never know when it's going to happen. I've had MANY new and used cars throughout my life and have NEVER had this happen with any other vehicle, ever. Additionally, when I call my dealer and give them the specific time it happened (I look at the clock now in my Bronco when it happens), they say no codes come up or it's a "windshield heater fault". Something is obviously wrong and it's life threatening. If you get any answers on this, please share. Thanks and good luck.

Didn't see it, it's not the auto stop / start that's giving you issues? It's almost killed me as few times.

Nope. I've had that feature turned off each time.

My stop-start is off too.

It's intermittent, so dealer really can't do anything until I can get it to do it repeatedly.
