2.7L blown engine failure list . . 68 so far [Updated: December 13, 2022]

I don't have access to that type of info. The parts system shows how many are in a depot, in transit to the depot, at a packager, how many are currently backordered and demand forecast.

Even those numbers might be telling.

It's all a conspiracy to make us embrace electric gokarts as our future instead of real vehicles that burn dinosaurs.

You'll find out that's not true when Ford botches the lightning launch worse than this.

And people gave me crap for being so adamantly in favor of the 2.3L

Pump the brakes before you start crowing about the 2.3.

 

[mpeugeot]

Should’ve seen the crap from half the forum when @mpeugeot started original thread to collect data. Where’d they go??

Well obviously, I was wrong... To add insult to injury, my 2.7 has refused to die in over 5k miles.

Absolutely hated the 2.3 in the Bronco. Never tested it in the Ranger but I almost canceled my order after an extended 24 hr. test drive in the 2.3 BD my dealer. It felt, drove and sounded like a rental Nissan sentra or something. The 2.7 is amazing if it doesn't blow up!

So clearly you didn't try the 7MT then

I got nothing. I can say the parts system is showing the below as of 1/17/22....

Pending engineering change
3 expected to arrive at packager
5 pieces in transit for distribution
8 pieces to be shipped from packager
FCSD is working on part availability

Did anyone notice the most important parts of the above post?

"PENDING ENGINEERING CHANGE"

and

"FCSD is working on part availability"

That's pretty much everything we need to know regarding the likelihood of a systemic problem!

Glad you stated when, not if.

Wow...are there people that actually wanted a 2.3L? I thought they were just choosing those so they could get a Bronco sooner.

I've got two different 2.3L specs in my garage and they're both fantastic. One of them even makes over 400hp and 400lb/ft. Forget getting my Bronco sooner, the 7MT was the only option for me.

Much thx . . Man, this is cutting into the 'Clear Gap'

EDIT:
- engine build-date June 28 . . & Bronco build-date Aug 09 - thx, got it

- in opening post, the table and histogram are updated
- the 'clear gap' (i.e. 'in the clear' range) now only 27-days, 21180 thru 21206
- now 17 data-points (engine build-dates)

I'm 21162. So, I have a tiny little clear gap down there from about 160-165....at least so far.

 

[Last Ride Bronco]

I’m just outside the timeframe. I have 6400 miles so far and no problems.

Is this anybody here:

Man, looks new
- any details ?

From the thread on reddit:
"The build month was October"
and the OP has not added it here yet.

Ah, I remember the days of driving around manual 4 bangers, primarily out of necessity. Seems like I've run across a few 2.7's making 500+ on the intertubes

What rpm are you at to get those 400hp ?
