October 26, 2026Visibility/Wiper
My windshield wipers are randomly stopping working in the middle of driving in the rain. When the wipers stop, nothing on the lever is working, no rear wiper, no front wiper and no wiper fluid. The lever on the handle works nothing. This has happened probably 5 times randomly in last two weeks. Once the wipers stopped in an upright position and lever wouldn’t do anything until i hit a bump in the road and they all of a sudden started working again. Very scary, very dangerous. I took it into FORD dealer and they said nothing was wrong after their diagnostics and they sent me on my way. Doing my own research into the problem i see a recall but not for my Bronco Sport. Please help me with this

My vehicle is currently at Leif Johnson Ford in [XXX]. I have also previously noticed a gasoline odor, although the cause has not been determined. I depend on this vehicle for daily transportation and long-distance travel. I am extremely concerned that Ford continues to leave me exposed to a known potential fire ha

On Friday, October 9, 2026, I was driving to work when I noticed that my 2023 Ford Bronco Sport was struggling to accelerate after I stopped at a red light. When I arrived at work, I noticed smoke coming from underneath the hood. Upon opening the hood, I discovered a small fire behind the engine, which I was able to extinguish.Approximately three hours later, when I returned to my vehicle during my lunch break, it started and appeared to be running normally. However, while stopping to get gas, I noticed smoke coming from under the hood again, although there was no visible fire. Concerned about the vehicle’s condition, I drove the short distance to a dealership, where the vehicle was still sm
