13k milesDefinitely interesting. Makes me wonder if quite a few have been parked. I know @mpeugeot hasn't parked his, what are you up to now? 50k? Mine's been sitting during the week, not because I'm worried about it, I just picked up a cheap little car to run back and forth to work.
I'm at 17,500...two of the 44 engine died on my born on date.13k miles
I'd bail on that vehicle so fast it would make your head spin.Anyone who has been through this have any ideas of how I can push things forward?
You're living the nightmare, I'm sorry to hear that. Even if you don't seriously want to, just mention to your Customer Service rep you're pursuing the Lemon Law buy back. That will get you escalated quickly. Its like telling the Cable company that you're canceling, you get transferred to the "Customer Loyalty" reps. You may even go so far as to start sending them links to any other Broncos for sale in your area to prove you're serious. They don't want to pay ADM either.Engine blew Jan 15 and the saga continues!
My Bronco is currently sitting in the service department at Rountree Moore Ford in Lake City, Florida where I left it, having already had its engine replaced and 2 catalytic converters replaced. Still not running as intended!
The dealer is bringing an engineer down from Ford to help with the issue.
Other than the basic necessity of a rental car, I’m frustrated by the lack by Ford of offering any recompense for the fact that it has now been nearly 3 months (90 days!!!) since my engine died with no end in sight.
Communication from the dealer and Ford customer service has been nothing short of inconsistent.
Anyone who has been through this have any ideas of how I can push things forward?Against all odds at this point, I just want my Bronco back.
What's your states lemon law? Mine states if the vehicle has been in the shop longer than 30 business days you can force them to buy it back.Engine blew Jan 15 and the saga continues!

Maverick will be my cheap little carDefinitely interesting. Makes me wonder if quite a few have been parked. I know @mpeugeot hasn't parked his, what are you up to now? 50k?

You probably win the lottery if you paid. Question: Do you pray everytime you drive your Bronco?I'm at 17,500...two of the 44 engine died on my born on date.
More like swinging a chicken overhead and chanting like in "weird science".You probably win the lottery if you paid. Question: Do you pray everytime you drive your Bronco?
I’d have mixed emotions. I have dodged the bullet, but damn I’m getting closer to the end of my warrantyI'm at 17,500...two of the 44 engine died on my born on date.
If you’re in this timeframe you ought to strongly consider adding an extended warranty.I’d have mixed emotions. I have dodged the bullet, but damn I’m getting closer to the end of my warranty
Honestly, there is no dodging a bullet, if the valve and its related components were not the made from the right materials or treated to increase its strength then it's a ticking time bomb and will fail. For some it may be early on and for others it could be at a higher interval. I don't care if my engine last to 100k miles, once it fails the whole engine detonates and is no longer usable. That is not good. I went to FORD parts yesterday and was shown that ordering the valves right now are black listed (you cannot order them separately). I am seriously thinking of replacing the valves myself once I know that the new improved valves are available to buy.I’d have mixed emotions.
