What owners report

A suspension component on my 2024 Ford Bronco -- the sway bar disconnect device. began reporting malfunction in May of 2026. A service warning for the component appeared on the vehicle status display. The issue caused several control system features to freeze and could not be cleared. The warning was intermittent, but subsequent information from a dealer service revealed that faults were registered in the system OBD files. I took my vehicle to the dealer where I purchased the vehicle three times and they reported to me that they could not find a cause of the warning. This exercise carried on for approximately 3 and a half months. I finally took my vehicle to a second dealer, who diagnosed the issue and effected repairs. Both dealers told me that other Broncos had shown the same problem. Issues with corrosion and perhaps other defects in the component paper to be prevalent. …

The vehicle started showing excessive tire wear with only 3500 miles on it. We took it to the dealership to have this checked and discovered it the front suspension was severely out of alignment they aligned the suspension and 1500 miles later it was out of alignment again and was re aligned. Then 1500 miles later it was aligned yet again because of excessive wear and pulling hard to the left. The vehicle was returned to the dealership it was purchased from and they kept it for 27 straight days and claimed to have done 5 alignments and the 5th one worked. We drove the vehicle 1000 miles and the front tires were showing even worse wear and the front end was discovered to be out of alignment yet again. As of today the vehicle is scheduled to be returned to the dealership for a 5th time with no real remedy or answer on the issue. I uploaded 10 documents but have 11 more available.
