I have a 2022 Bronco Sport Big Bend @ 748mi. All city driving, all trips <20mi at a time. Less than 1mo of ownership. I just use this unit to haul the kids around. Unfortunately, I donāt think this qualifies as a first year production issue anymore.
Update: Dealer basically said "huh, no codes and seems ok" and did nothing. Now 400mi later and it happened again. Same light. Went away after I parked it for about 30min. Now no light or codes.
I went through this same thing today. Leaves a real bad taste in my mouth. Not a fan.
Basically what my dealer told me with the wrench icon too. If it doesnāt stay on, it probably hasnāt thrown a code, & isnāt serious. Uh ok. I guess if it does go away. But. At least the first time it did it to me I did take it in & get them to look at it, so I have record, should something really break on it, that I havenāt ignored a warning sign. Iām not quite sure what more to do, but of course for a vehicle Iāll trade once the BS arrives, I havenāt been too worried about it.
Intermittent problems are the absolute bane of maintenance techs. Trust me, they know you're not making it up, there just isn't anything they can do until they can diagnose the problem, and if there are no symptoms there can be no diagnosis.
Sounded like this was something they knew about, but didn't have any info on what to do about it.
I only had my 2022 Bronco Sport for 3 days literally didn't drive it for 2 days that 3rd morning I got the powertrain and reduced power notification. Took it in Monday afternoon around 3pm got it back Wednesday around 3pm Thursday morning same thing. Just took it back today after work. It's literally a 2022 brand new vehicle less than 20 miles on it. If it happens a 3rd time I'm switching vehicles if they don't figure it out.
Did they get a code, or just guessing at it? Had it happen 3 more times, but goes away before I can get it over there. Says reduced power but doesn't seem like it's in limp mode. It's literally just the warning that bugs me at this point. Figured I have a lot more warrantee left, lets see if it gives me something to show-and-tell instead of wasting the back-and-forth.
Not that I'd expect much but worth a try
Mine was a code first time also said debris was somewhere can't remember what he said. Also said the code said check the battery which was fine. Since I got it back Friday I drove today and no issues with the alert. Guy who replied said something about the fordpass app. (Yes I also use it) also worth having for the notifications to prove something popped up.
Yes, have all the messages in the app. Called dealer this week and I guess they have the ability to look up codes remotely. Finally recorded something related to a transmission solenoid so taking it in Monday.
