2/27/2023 Build Week - With Spreadsheet

That’s my Bronco twin. I saw it there when I picked up mine Thursday but I kept thinking I hope they gave me keys to the correct vin and not the other buyer’s.

I can clearly see you’re a man of culture as well!


I honestly didn’t see any other 2 doors there late Saturday morning. Lots of Bronco Sports on the lot.

Ugh. Husband was installing mudflaps for me today, noticed leaking in the front right wheel well & brake area. Lots of grease. Looks like I have to have the dealer check it out tomorrow. 1 week in and this is not what I was hoping to deal with.

Oh no. Keep us updated.

Will do. Hopefully just a seal or something that can be fixed quickly. Not much confidence on that after seeing some threads. All slightly different. Not the way I wanted to meet the people at the dealership close to me that we will use for service. I wish we had noticed before we drove it out of SC.

So, saw the dealer today for leaking on front passenger side. It’s going in next week for a closer look. He said it could be a seal or could require more. They are going to get under it Wednesday morning and figure out what is going on. Also have heard from FoMoCo about it and they have a case for it so if parts are needed, they can expedite the process. It’s nothing major enough at this point to prevent me from driving it locally until they get it in next week.
I’ll post when they tell me. I did venture through multiple threads and see that this has been an issue on several vehicles, some noticed pretty quickly and some noticed later down the line. Some bad seals, some where entire CV joint/boot got pinched and required replacement.

1 more thing…those with rock rails from factory looking for a mudflap option that works with no drilling or cutting, these took under an hour to install and cost about $130 on Amazon. All about saving my paint!

I ordered a set that look identical to those. They should arrive this weekend.

Pretty sure there are several on Amazon that are essentially the same. If Ford ever offers some for under $400, we might consider it, but was not a fan of the ones with metal & wanted to avoid cutting or drilling into anything. I have seen people cutting into the rock rail as well. Not a fan of that.

I made a cheap pair for the Big Bend I had, but they won't with the rock sliders.

It apparently arrived yesterday afternoon. Finance person called me today to work out the purchase. Hopefully, some others arrived as well.

It’s finally arrived!! Dealer just sent photos and I’m headed to bring her home.

We made it up to 45°F yesterday, so naturally she got a bath. Two weeks in, and she’s everything I’d hoped she’d be.

Did everyone get their private offer? Mine didn't show up with my order (Jan. 2022 order date w/ no reservation). My dealer experienced this with other folks who were non-reservation, order holders, but they eventually got it worked out. Unfortunately, I had to take delivery without getting the private offer. Customer Service line still can't find a certificate for my order. My dealer is supposed to be pushing the issue to get Ford to resolve then send me a check. Fingers are crossed, but wanting to see if anyone else ran into this as well.

I got mine. Dealer had it all sorted out.
