2025 Ford Bronco 2DRBrakes

I have experienced four episodes of braking-related malfunctions in my 2025 Ford Bronco since September 2026. All four produced the same five dashboard warnings: "Hill Start Assist Warning," "Anti-Lock Brake Fault," "Pre-Collision Assist Not Available," "Electronic Parking Brake," and "Anti-Lock Brake System Fault." During the first episode, while reversing, the vehicle continued rolling backward despite my pressing the brake pedal and my vehicle rolled out into the street. I immediately pulled back into my...

driveway, put the truck in neutral and turned the engine off. I feared I might run into my garage. The vehicle was serviced September 25-October 1, 2026, at approximately 12,074 miles. The dealership found stored ABS trouble codes C0044:49, C1034:68, C2005:74, C2006:1D, and U3000:04. After testing and clearing the codes, the technician documented that the customer concern could not be duplicated and "no repair required at this time." However, the service advisor called to explain that replacing both rear wheel-speed sensors might correct the problem. Both sensors were replaced, and the vehicle was returned. Three more episodes occurred between October 25 and November 4, 2026. Each time, all five warnings appeared immediately at startup. Because of the first incident, I kept the vehicle in park, did not drive, and pressed the brake pedal while stationary; it did not feel or function normally. I shut the vehicle off, waited several minutes, and restarted it. The warnings then disappeared. I stopped driving the vehicle and had it towed to the dealership on November 9, 2026. A wiring-harness recall repair (26S55) was performed September 16, 2026; whether it is related is unknown. Ford Customer Relations has opened a case, and the dealership is investigating. I am concerned that this intermittent braking-related malfunction persists despite the initial repair and could recur while the vehicle is moving.

soaked my pants, my seat, the carpet, ran down the navigation screen into the cup holders and warped my dash. I wash my vehicle 2 to 3 times a week and have never had an issue with the roof leaking until driving in this storm. When I arrived home I lifted the t-top on the drivers side and there was no water in the weather stripping. I did take my vehicle to the dealer and was told this is a "common issue" with Broncos, for the tubing to wear out and that it and the electrical would be replaced. The dealer did not inspect the tubes or the electrical components in the over head compartment. They reported that several trips through the car wash did not result in a leak and that the tubes "may have been too much water for drain tubes to keep up and it over flowed into the cab." I had limited visibility with a faucet style stream of water pouring into my lap a I drove. I am concerned the wet electrical components will cause a fire.

2026 Ford Bronco 2DRSteering

I have a new bronco with 3,000 miles on it and I used my heated steering wheel for the first time today and the cabin started filling up with smoke. The smoke was coming from the steering column. I'm not sure if something was on fire or just smoking but I didn't see flames just a lot of smoke. I have a video. Where can I email it?
