Typical brake symptoms owners report
- Owners report that when the Bronco with the 2.7L V6 is placed in flat-tow mode behind a motorhome, the Electronic Brake Boost (EBB) shuts down after about 45 minutes, leaving the supplemental braking system inoperative.
- Some drivers say this EBB shutoff forces the towing motorhome's brakes to do all the stopping work since the Bronco's own brakes go dead while being flat towed.
- One owner described intermittent brake failure where the power booster stopped working, requiring much heavier pedal pressure to stop the vehicle, which a dealer traced to the brake vacuum hose assembly.
- A separate report describes a powertrain malfunction that left the vehicle unable to restart and also without brakes, causing it to roll backward uncontrolled into a tree.
- Another owner raised concern that the trailer-sway control system, which automatically applies brakes to counter trailer yaw, could overheat the rear brakes on base Bronco models that lack certain factory brake options.
