Got the Bronco back last night. That morning I got a video from the tech that worked on the bronco that said what he did and showed the undercarriage. He said everything looked good, though my eye spotted rust on the union between the front shock reservoir and the shock body, so I'll keep my...

Here is how the dealer process has been so far: They didn't look at it all but for the headlight switch until Wednesday 3 days ago. That's when the parts from the TSB showed up. Talked to them yesterday and they were still working on it, but did share they didn't find a need for any other parts...

Funny thing, so the Bronco is there awaiting parts. I'll ask tomorrow if they can share what was found and ordered. My loaner car came in yesterday, and guess what, It is a Bronco Sport Badlands. Such a different experience for something with a similar name.

My understanding is that this is a manufacturing variance issue. Depending on which side of the variance your transmission sits on, it may never have an issue, may have a slight NVH issue, or may have a persistent issue. I've yet to see one torn down where someone shows the actual issue. So...

2022 at 32,000 miles. Fall, winter, and spring on cold mornings I hear a noise with moderate acceleration until warmed up. To me it didn't sound like scraping but more like pinging sounds, ever at idle, only under load. Dealer had it overnight, and determined it's in the transmission and will...

I'm assuming you missed stating that? How hard were you pushing down on the pedal? How long were you waiting? I would ask the dealer to take a look personally because anything weird with brakes needs the dealer take a look. I can see lots of opportunities for user error here. But you don't...

Thanks, I didn't find the threads in my search. The weird thing is it has happened since day one. So I guess I'll bring it in.

So over the 2 or so years I've had the bronco I've had a number of times where I get back into the bronco and have the chime going off, and a look at the headlights show on in the dash, but the control is not lighting a position it is in. I will turn it to on, then off, then back to auto where...

Harness rubbing through is warranty every day. They build them to not rub, so if it does rub it is a manufacturing or design defect making it warranty.

The person I talked to when scheduling a mobile service recall said that Ford was funding the mobile service. That the dealer received money for each service call that essentially paid for the costs of providing the service.

Hmm, that looks too localized to be any type of natural or typical heat source available to the public. It seems more likely some chemical reaction, possibly due to a problem at the factory during the manufacture of the top, or in transportation. Also that it affect two panels and there is a...

It's amazing how people can put a new sticker on their car and have the most amazing photos. Then someone has an issue and the photos look like they came out of a potato. No shade, just commenting on the reality. looks like the ball joint for the lower control arm pulled out of something. Did...

You say that, but that behavior sounds exactly like a power problem. A poor quality ground or power connection that, as it heats, builds resistance reducing battery voltage causing the vehicle to die. Then that cools off and passes electricity again, so you start it up until it heats again and...

Proof that the M190 will work with 37's at the Mall but not on the rocks. Actual evidence is always better than just guessing.

It really looks like if you have one of those motors from 2021 and 2022 that if the engine hasn't grenaded itself yet, it will right about that time you decide to finally put the hammer down and pass those semi's on the highway.

It's my understanding that what reverse uses can not really be considered a syncro, as it's not as effective as a Syncro. Reverse gears are usually straight-cut as well.

Was the engine running while parked? Or engine off? If the engine is running and the transmission is in neutral, the crankshaft is still driving the input shaft of the transmission because the clutch is engaged, spinning the flywheel. When you release the clutch, it's not applying a brake to...

Reverse is not a synchronized gear. As such, it is not unusual for one to be in a position where the gear teeth don't line up and it's hard to engage. This is extremely likely if the vehicle hasn't come to a complete stop when you try to shift. You'll also need to give the transmission time to...

What would be so much better would be if Ford just put a plug in the wiring harness like the old SPOUT plug. When the plug is inserted it works normal. When the plug is out, it tells the vehicle it's in flat tow mode, automatically putting itself into neutral and setting the transmission and...

I wouldn't be shocked if there is some assembly lubrication used in various attachments of things. It may simply be that. It doesn't hurt anything if you let it go for a little while to see if it gets worse or just stops. I trust the manufacture assembling the vehicle than I do the dealer...
