I’ve had an intermittent airbag warning light that started in November. Ford pass app states safe to drive WITHOUT A PASSENGER! Didn’t become consistent enough till January to take to the dealer. I’ve also had very intermittent pre-collision/ adaptive cruise control unavailable while driving and be off for 11 minutes and then come back on without changing anything. Also had connectivity issues in the beginning. The dealer tried fixing airbag issue with no luck, (can’t believe they didn’t try changing the main computer) told me to contact Ford about a buyback. Ford would not do the buyback, and would not give a reason. Not sure if it was because minor fender bender and put on a new aftermarket winch bumper. Ford told me to contact the Better Business Bureau which I did April. Ford said they agreed to buy back the vehicle, but never gave me a buyback price. Sometimes I can start the vehicle airbag light will be on turn the vehicle off then back on and airbag light will be off??? Other times that doesn’t work? Not sure what I’m gonna do now. I’ve had a 1984 Ford bronco, I had a 2000 F150 for 23 years 250k+ miles, this 2023 Bronco. Not impressed with how Ford has done nothing to help with this problem. Not sure I’d ever buy a Ford again.

Was there front end damage in the accident that has caused faults and maybe wasn’t fixed at time of repairs if they were needed?

If they tried to fix it once and couldn't, I'd definitely look into the buy back from Ford once again. For me personally, I wouldn't want that particular one anymore.

Minor damage fixed at ford dealership. Problems didn’t start until 5 months after repairs.
