Just following up on this. I took in my 25 Bronco for the seat recall and oil change and was notified that the fix for this is head replacement. Apparently there was a bad batch of heads for 2025 2.3L engines and if the serial number is a certain number, it calls for head replacement...

I haven't had any major issues but so far it's kind of a death by 1000 cuts kind of thing for a first 12 months of ownership. Multiple recalls, CEL's for Cold Start Misfire, driveshaft chirping at low speeds (makes it sound like a 15 year old truck when driving in my neighborhood), binding...

Fishing line works much better than dental floss when it comes to removing emblems. Goo Gone will quickly and easily remove any leftover adhesive.

I will miss the manual transmission if/when it’s gone but I won’t miss dumb posts like this and the gatekeepers that think driving a manual transmission makes them somehow superior. My ex was a dumb as they come and she drove a 5-speed Accord for half a decade. Driving a manual transmission...

A large portion of the CUV and compact segment is using CVT's that are practically throw away at 150k miles and people are worried about a small chance of oil pump belt failure at over 250k miles? People are so weird when it comes to worrying about how long their drivetrain will last like they...

And yet there’s thousands of 2.7 engines in the wild still running for years and hundreds of thousands of miles. You are trying to use a single high mileage incident to prove that this is a fatal design flaw so don’t take it personally when some of us roll our eyes.

I didn't realize that the myQ Home Bridge was discontinued. That allows HomeKit functionality.

The mall crawler in all its glory.

Sludge usually requires time to build up. I wonder if the previous owner went too long without changing the oil.

I actually use CarPlay more to open and close my opener than the visor buttons and the range is far superior. If your opener has myQ it's easy to integrate.

I've seen some comments that once you remove the roof panels, it's hard to have them seal like they came out of the factory. Do you have to fiddle with them to get perfect fitment when putting back together?

Yeah it's a smaller engine but the reality is that it's only 0.4L smaller. We aren't talking major displacement difference.

OP I saw your post on the FB group as well. Owning a Ford out of warranty is always pretty sketchy and given yours has been plagued with issues I would probably move on. On the flip side if your Bronco had lived a problem free life, then you at least have faith to ride things out past warranty.

Autostop Eliminator. One of the best mods at any price.

Vendors that make $$ selling mods like this.
