Bronco (2.7 engine) shut off on highway, left me on the side of the road

[Southern Girl]

I've lost count...is it 12 stranded with the 2.7; zero with the 2.3???

You realize this is the standard engine with the F150? A lot more of them are driving around than Broncos.

I know where your heads at but no brand is immune to this kind of thing.. I had a brand new Jaguar with 23 miles on it towed from my driveway the day I got it. Definitely embarrassing but it happens to all brands.

that sounds reasonable... but statistically, I wonder if there are truly a higher percentage of f*cked up Broncos than other vehicle brands, at this point in time only (because it only existed this year)

@Ford Motor Company tell us, is there a problem with the 2.7 engines? (maybe he used the wrong wax)


Or are you going to tell the OP that they should quietly DM you behind the scenes? This may not be the experience that Ford wants us to have, but it seems like more and more often that it's the experience that many people are having.

I can't wait to take delivery of my Dirt Mountain Edition 2 door with the 2.7 Grenade Spec motor this week. I anticipate mine will leave me stranded in the first 3000 miles.

I am anxiously awaiting my Dirt Mountain detainee (supposedly 12/1/21 delivery)
I am also anxious about the higher than normal potential that my vehicle will also leave me stranded. This is NOT a good feeling for a customer who pays 50K for a BRAND NEW car to concern themselves with.
Imagine a world where you buy a car and petrified to drive it on the highway, lest you never make it home to your family.

I hope the two door 2.7L I ordered that was built on 7/1 and have yet to receive already had an engine failure and is the cause of my delay. Would suck to wait so many months to have a stalled engine within a few thousand miles.

and still be expected to pay full price

these stories make me extremely nervous about taking the bronco anywhere even slightly remote, i.e. anywhere we're supposed to be able to take it

Im afraid to drive 15 miles to get to work

Damn, yeah please post when you find out what the problem was. I plan on doing a lot of the in the back woods remote driving. This would be a nightmare. Especially in places you cant get cell phone reception. Guess I wont go solo camping until you reply back. !!!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that the Bronco 2.7 is not the same 2.7 that is in the F150's.

Ford owned Jag.....

And Land Rover, and Volvo……..

A guys car breaks down on the weekend, it is towed to a dealership that is probably closed. That leaves just enough time for the Nervous Nellie's of the forum to spin conspiracy theories about mysterious bad valves and other phantom tales before the shop opens on Monday morning. But sure, let's cause a tweet storm, see how many times we can tag Ford on this thread...that will surely help.

I think some of you enjoy the bad news way too much.

Any defect will show itself early. You want this scenario as oppose to having 50k on the odometer.

i am pretty sure it is the exact the same engine. It may a slightly different compression ratio but hardware wise it is the same engine.

Read the title to the post?

I think the moderators must have added 2.7 to title....I did not.
