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

[navi]

And many insiders place trades of restricted stock weeks and months in advance. It’s not because there’s a tracking thread on B6G bud.

lol, I don't think the insiders rely on us for info. We'll be the last to know.

Anyone looked at the rest of the market this week…lol

yup, down 4%...Ford is leading the charge though.

Agree. Hence insiders. The trade already occurred.

It’s 31 on this forum, not every bronco owner is a member of this forum

Last I checked, we are now actively grabbing people who aren’t on the forum and telling them to join. But only those that need an engine replacement. That isn’t to say that we have captured every failure, but we’ve started actively recruiting failures from non-forum members. This coercion of data certainly affects the randomness of our sample, and it prevents us from (defensibly) using back of the napkin math based on the forum population size to deduce failure rate. This is on top of the fact that people organically join this type of forum at a higher rate when something is wrong than when everything is great.

Sorry I didn’t read all 86 pages of your thread. Have these pics been posted for you mechanical sleuths? There were also few videos I’ve posted in the past of Ford techs showing the 2.7 destroyed as well but looks like they have been wiped from the interwebs.

This is my Bronco, it’s included in the post.

@Snowdogyyz had some T-shirts done-up -

Okay, that was my weekend joke for a Friday evening having a beer, but this is big worry for many people - need to stay focused

Wow concerning for sure. And now get this as I am purchasing my Hot Pepper Red Wildtrak yesterday I tell the GM the stories. He and I are pretty close on a relationship and he responds chit let’s take the motor replacement money and put a SC Coyote in her . I am like damn that’s a hell of an idea and yeh far fetched but hell who knows

Cuz apparently the wimps won. No more pukes cuz of feelers.

I’ll take one of those tee shirts…
Another point that may/may not have been pointed out is that not every forum member is an owner or even future owner. The failure percentages are definitely higher than people are calculating using production and forum member totals. I’d be happy to know that it’s just an anomaly, but the stars are pointing to a more major problem. I still don’t even have an ETA for a replacement engine after 3 weeks.. :/

Good sir. Don’t bring your real world experience here. It would be better if you just keep quiet.

It’s funny victim hood only works in certain situations.

I think what they are doing is trying to get a better handle on what motors are failing and in what time range. Also, this number will go up as the milage goes up with other users. And the reason for the original post about anonymous posts was from me.
Already a forum member. Just ordered my Bronco and my dealer had one blown. So I reported it with serial number and the dealer follows this forum. So I won't say where etc... but cats out of the bag on why that was originally posted.

However, if they are recruiting...... what does that hurt other than more data that literally no other forum is putting together?

I’m not saying anything is wrong or being hurt. Collecting data is great. I was just calling out that anyone who wants to try to extrapolate any conclusions from these few data points and how they relate to the broader Bronco population needs to account for this factor in their reasoning, if they’re hoping to end up with anything that’s heading in the right direction.

I was not making a comment/judgement about whether or not anyone should be collecting data; have at it

Still no progress since December at Autonation

Sorry Slosh1.

Hopefully you find out something soon. Have they even looked at it or offered you a loaner etc?
