Update on my bronco. Finally got it back today after almost 4 months. I received a updated transmission and a new master cylinder assembly. So far the transmission shifts smoothly. Not sure if it's just me but the brake pedal feels a bit mushy. To be fair I only drove the car for a day before...
Just picked up a Canyon cooler because they advertise on here and the dude in the YouTube commercial is wearing a planet ocean ;) Thanks for the super quick shipping.
Was all set to pick my vehicle with the E transmission and the updated "pig tails" for the mysterious abs light that they triggered. The light is still on and the service department is now ordering a master cylinder that is backordered. They've had my new car for going on 4 months and there is...
Was all set to pick up my Bronco with the E transmission today. Unfortunately my service rep notified me that the ABS light is now on in the vehicle. They aren't sure what the issue is but ordered new "pig tails"?? They also said that there's a chance the vehicle will be done by Monday. My...
Update on my Bronco situation.
Ford reached out to buy my vehicle. Does Ford ever offer more than the purchase price for a buyback vehicle? I had to pay a markup and traded in my mustang. Additionally the car was driven less than 60 miles and the hardtop is a constrained item. Also, the price...
I'm about to make my third payment ;) I think there are a few others that have been without a car since December. Sounds like we should all be getting an update around 5/17/23. Might be wishful thinking but I'm hoping to get mine back before June. Also, I definitely recommend calling Ford...
Update on my Bronco. Well sort of. The dealership says there is no ETA on the E transmissions and to compound the problem there is now a semiconductor shortage. My new car has now been in the dealerships back lot uncovered for going on 3 months. I wonder if they'll let me bring them a car cover...
Two separate issues that can be completely related. The mt88 would have appeared in the European vehicles if there was a fix for it. We are 3 years in to production of the transmission and Ford has yet to solve the problem. One user has already reported failure of the updated D 5/6 synchro. The...
Because from a business and production standpoint it's far more profitable to offer only one transmission over multiple platforms. The manual transmissions account for so little of the total sales. This is why you are seeing them axed in the European and Australian Rangers in favor of the 10...
After a little research it looks like the Euro Bronco may come standard with the 10 speed automatic. Info on the Euro Bronco is still so limited but will likely have the option of either 2.0 & 3.0 diesel paired with the 10spd. The new generation EU Ranger is no longer offered with a manual. Same...
I didn't realize they weren't offering manual in the new 4cyl Mustang. I'd almost say that seals the deal on the fate of the MT Bronco. Does anyone know if the Euro Bronco will be offered with a MT?
Ive wondered if the transmission is just a bad design. I doubt that Ford will bring back the manual transmission for this generation of Bronco. I could be wrong but I believe Levine would have simply respond "that's the plan" if they were planning on keeping the MT for 2024. With a problem that...
I don't believe so. I could be wrong but I may have heard the first batch of E transmissions should be arriving around 5/17/23. Have you guys heard differently ?
I asked my service rep if it would be safe to drive my vehicle while I wait for the "E" transmission to come in. He said said no and is making me leave it at the lot. Hopefully it doesn't take an additional two months. What's the longest someone has been without their new car? If I reach one...
That sucks man. Is yours having the problem again?
I was thinking about asking them if I could just have the car back while we wait for the new backordered trans. A few nights ago I got a notification on my Ford pass that rear tailgate was opened and set off the alarm at 4:00 a.m. lol. I'm...
