…..for example, @G-Red had a 2.3L bad turbo replaced , and he got repairs & compensation package better than most 2.7L blown engines !
Not sure about the validity of this fear. My understanding is the failures happen early or not at all. I have 20,000 on mine without a hiccup. *knocks on every wood surface available*
Ther have been three blown engines that we know about with more than 5,000 miles on them. One had 6,986 mile when it blew. I’d rather have an AB engine, but I am not worried. It is possible there could be late mileage failures, and that FoMoCo recalls all AA engines. Only time will tell at this point.
Just curious if the valve ticking sounded initially like a fan belt issue. Did it increase with acceleration? I’ve got about 11,000 miles on my ‘21 engine and it’s started making a ticking/squeaking noise…….taking it in this week
It was a valve lifter ticking noise. It did increase with speed. They never did diagnose what the actual problem was except that there were significant metal shavings in the oil filter and highly likely we caught it just in time before failure. Good idea to take yours in to have it checked out. I had mine replaced and back on the road in 2 weeks time and have had no trouble since.
Is it at all similar to this? 2.7 engine with almost 14000 miles…..have had 2 oil changed and no one mentioned metal fragments. I took to the dealer to investigate the noise and they didn’t find anything, but they also didn’t drive it……
Honeslty, mine sounded more like a cricket but much faster chirps. It was almost a constant rattle/chirp at lower speeds. Yours sounds like a pulley or fan belt maybe? I'd have the dealership drive it for a better diagnosis.
I
I have a 2021 Sasquatch Base model and have never had any trouble out of my bronco til 8/28 I was heading home and all the sudden I had 4 codes flashing on the display, truck lost power I couldn’t go over 5 miles per hour. Luckily, I was able to pull into a gas station parking lot about 3 miles from my house. The truck shut off, interior lights and headlights worked just fine. I tried to start the Bronco and it was not starting. I called my husband and son they came after me and looked at the Bronco . I had to call road side assistance took 4 hours for them to get to the bronco cause we waited on them. Get to the Ford dealership and got a call today saying the technician thinks it’s engine failure. They said they would pull it back in and tear the engine down to make sure that is what is . But, he said they were pretty sure it’s the engine. My question is for people who have had their 2.7 engines replaced how long did it take to get the new and back up and running? I’m making payments on a truck I can’t use and I’ve had to borrow my nephews truck and he is needing it back as he purchased a new charger and wants to drive the truck I borrowed to work. I get that it’s his truck but that leaves me on foot. I still have a kid in school. How and what number do I use to reach out to ford over the bronco?
Thank you, I’m just glad my kids weren’t with me and I wasn’t on the Hwy. My bronco only has 9,980 miles on it and has been serviced on time every time (oil changes, fluids check). I’m at a lost as the ford dealership said I would have to contact ford about a rental while they wait on an engine. They said their technician would have to call It into ford that the engine is bad and wait to hear back from them as to what to do. Does anyone know the number I need to call as all my ford paperwork is locked up in the glove compartment an hour away. I have the vin number cause I kept the order slip .
@Ford Motor Company on here is how I first got in touch with them.
