    Display screen goes blank

    "I have taken my Bronco into the dealership to have them look at the navigation system and how it freezes and stops working. The dealer tells me there is nothing they can do since they cannot replicate it. It doesn't seem that they even tell Ford corporate about the repetitive issues I've had with this. I've taken it in 3x to get it fixed."

    Anonymous, TN (2022 Ford Bronco Wildtrak 3.0-L V6 turbo)

    "The screen has gone blank a half dozen times. I have not been able to get it in for service because dealer has not called back."

    Anonymous A., FL (2022 Ford Bronco Outer Banks 2.7-L V6 turbo)

    Transmission Major

    Transmission rebuild or replacement, torque converter, premature clutch replacement.

    What Owners Say

    Transmission rebuild or replacement

    "Was utilizing flat tow mode and towing behind RV. Transmission overheated and destroy itself. Ford will not cover stating that the driver, me, must have not followed procedures. I explained thatwas not possible as I always followed the simple procedures and then had my wife verify that the dash said "neutral tow mode engaged." Ford could not, or would not, provide me with any specific thing that was done wrong. I am currently in mediation with Ford through BBB to cover the warranty repair. I paid out of pocket to get my Bronco back. It is super frustrating as I know that I followed procedures and considering the amount of recalls, reprogramming, and GSB's associated with this. I also have no way to verify that neutral tow mode is working now. Others have faced the same problem. It seems to be either a hardware failure in the transfer case that does not allit to go into tow mode but the software believes it has or a software failure that does not allow it to go into, or stay in, tow mode. I am left with a vehicle that cannot be flat towed as nothing has been fixed or changed in respect to that system and Ford has left no way for me to verify that it the transfer case is indeed in neutral."
