The infotainment system, radio, backup camera has been frozen or does not come on startup of car. This means the backup camera has been frozen or does not come on when in reverse which is a safety issue. This put people and objects at risk when I backup. This has been happening about once a month if not more. In the cooler months it happens more. I have video proof of this happening and have provided this proof to a Ford dealer. I have taken in my Branco multilabel times to get this checked and they have not been able to reproduce this.

The electric parking brake sensor warning appears on the dashboard. It is a warning light that appears and stays on the dashboard. After a few days it will go away. Recently the "red" electric parking brake sensor warning has popped up displaying "parking brake failure, service now" and continues to flash. There is a feeling in the gas pedal of the emergency brake wanting to engage while driving. The issue has been unable to be diagnosed as it is an intermittent malfunction warning light. It is currently with the ford dealer to find the issue.

Since I took delivery of my 2023 Ford Bronco on August 1, 2023 I have not been able to connect to the FordPass (get updates, etc..). Dealer replaced the Gateway Module and has not been able to load software onto the module. The Gateway Module is a "hub" that routes signal to major components of the vehicle (safety, body control, telematics, power train, etc..). Since replacing the Gateway Module, Ford has been unable to get the software to load properly. This issue has manifested itself in not only the Bronco, but the F-150 and Bronco Sport as well. My vehicle has been in dealership for this fix for over 10 weeks. Given this is a critical component to vehicle safety and I have seen on Bronco and F150 forums over 50 cases of this I believe someone needs to question the ability of Ford to service such a critical component of vehicle safety.
