Tailgate closed all the way?
Low battery voltage?

Yes tailgate is closed all the way and battery should be good I only have 400 miles

First I've heard of this. Probably time for a trip to the dealership at only 400 miles. I could potentially see the app having some weird bug but the fob thing sounds weird.

Let me tell you it’s been a ride bro check engine light at 29 miles blew one turbo and the some drivetrain fault at 80 miles and now this…I have a lemon law case and so I just keep adding to the madness. I love this truck but dayum it seems to love the dealership

Does unlock > lock > auto-start work?

Sometimes bad vehicles come off the line. My 2 cents Lemon law, run from that vehicle as fast as you can and get a new one. Yes easier said than done but thats what I would do if possible.

With Bronco orders not opening up for 2023 I don’t think I’ll find a replacement for A Badlands Sas with tow I’m fuming

No doubt your in a crappy situation just don't want anyone to get stuck with a lemon. It would SUCK but I would dump this one and just wait instead of being stuck with something thats always causing problems. Especially if like me your trips take you in the middle of now where. A reliable vehicle is a must

Yeah I have the same issue. I don’t have the fob remote start but the FordPass app stopped working. Same with our Bronco Sport too. Irritated because it worked great all summer but now that it’s cold when I really need it I can’t get it to work.

Probably the remote start itself then. Hopefully it’s a plug and play that can be replaced.

If you have an OBD2 reader see if there are any error codes. Some smaller codes might be on internally that wouldn't show up as an error code for the dash.

Remote start will not work if the hood is not shut. On my GEN1 raptor, there was a pin that the hood press against when the hood was closed. Not sure if the Bronco is the same.
