Multiple errors, critical systems failure while driving.

[dblev]

This is interesting. This happened to me (Also a FE) twice within the same week earlier in the summer. It happened in my driveway the first time. The second time I was at speed on the highway. I don't remember all the codes, but everything happened so quickly and I was more concerned that i was in the left lane and lost my gas pedal. Same thing as you. I got it to the side. Turned it off. Turned it back on with no problems and drove off.

I decided if it happened a third time I would take it in. It never did. Fast forward, I got the letter about the fuel pump recall. No solution yet (still waiting like everyone else with the recall), but I wondered if it had something to do with the pump. It's interesting that at least part of the repair to resolve it for you was replacing your fuel pump.

Anyway, sorry about money part. Hopefully you get somewhere with Ford on that.

Make sure your report it!

Manufacturers do follow reports made here and it's good to get it documented

so I'll wait for the recall parts

Same, but we had a trip down the beach earlier this summer and another one planned for the end of September. Didn't take/not taking the Bronco on either due to this, which sucks because I love taking it on those sort of trips. We always have a ton of drinks/tumblers and other crap with us and the Bronco has the most room for all that stuff.

So I promised to follow up on this post and after my Bronco sitting at a Ford dealership for 90 days, I am finally picking it up today...sigh.

Basically, Ford never was able to give me a diagnosis to what was causing all of the critical failures and idle mode. They did a lot of exploratory parts replacements, took their sweet time, scratch their heads, and scratch their butts. They escalated and had a Ford engineer come out, 1 month later and it's finally repaired.
- First they replaced the pedal assembly. When that didn't work they replaced the throttle body...
- then they pulled off the big guns and replaced the PCM and engine wiring harness. They were confident this would fix any electrical issue. Not so much
-Next, They replaced the other engine wire harness. Everything look like it was good from there but about every 10 times they drove it. Another check engine light code would come back and I had to do with their programming of the PCM.
- finally, an engineer had them change the fuel pump and crank position sensor and it finally is repaired!

Soooo, the worst part is that they are refusing to honor their powertrain warranty and Ford's ESP for these repairs that all should be covered under those warranties. Why? For no other reason than the fact that I had The Pedal Commander installed on the vehicle . The Pedal Commander that was not even powered on or at all relevant to the unknown powertrain or electrical issue. They're going to cover most of these repairs but when it hit me with $6,600 PCM wire harness bill. This has led me to the better Business bureau arbitration which Ford has set up.

I'm in the middle of that process but have a very strong case with ample evidence and I'm almost certain that they will end up reimbursing me for almost all of these repairs plus my nearly $4,000 in rental car fees. So I'm picking up my two-door, lightning blue first edition and I am trading it in today for a new Bronco. Sad huh because it's the pretty bad A Bronco, and in fact, the rarest Gen6 Bronco (under 30 Two-Door lightning blue first editions made). I'm trading it in because for all I know, I'll be driving a stick of dynamite with a short fuse. Took them so long to figure out what was wrong with their own vehicle that Lord knows what will happen next.
Hopefully by the end of the day today, I'll be driving a 24 Heritage Limited two-door. I'm pretty excited, because it's been a long, stressful journey.
One thing I will not do however is give up, I am sticking out to Ford through arbitration.

Stick to your guns! I had to write letters and make phone calls one time before i could get Ford to move on a new transmission that i told them would fail before i ordered my oj Bronco. They replied ti was designed for towing and the first time tried to back ip with a 3,000 pound boat it blew up. Un the end the apologized and paid for all my expenses even sent money for a rental car. Turned out they would not replace the tranny because it would mean one less unit coming off the assembly line since it was a new. transmission.

I had loose connections at the fuse box.
I would experience random loss of power to my steering and brakes, as well as a light show on the dash and if you shut off the ignition you wouldn't be able to restart.
2 dealerships couldn't find a thing, they ended up replacing some ABS and brake parts to no affect.
This was even after I showed them the issue, by grabbing the harness that feeds into the fuse box and moving around. It would make an audible click sound and everything was back to normal until it wasn't again.
There have been a few Bronco's with this issue.
