While driving, a warning related to the charging system/battery appeared. The message lacked sufficient clarity and urgency. The time from the warning until the 12-volt battery was fully depleted was extremely short—too brief to safely identify a location and pull completely out of traffic. Once the battery died: •  The vehicle could not be placed in neutral, preventing it from being moved out of the travel lane. •  There was insufficient power to operate the hazard lights. This occurred on a busy highway, leaving the vehicle disabled in traffic and creating a significant safety risk. I was fortunate it happened in daylight. Had it occurred at night without functioning hazard lights, the likelihood of a catastrophic accident would have been high. This aligns with known alternator/charging system issues on 2021-2022 Broncos addressed in Ford Technical Service Bulletin TSB 23-2238 (superseding TSB 22-2392). The combination of an unclear warning, inadequate response time, loss of neutral capability, and loss of hazard lights presents an unreasonable safety risk. I request that Ford investigate this condition, provide a permanent remedy, and improve the warning strategy so drivers receive clear, timely notice with enough opportunity to reach a safe location.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"BRONCO","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
