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

[Funkdoobiest]

Did you all see BN article how they were downplaying all this and trying to address the fact that it is a case now with the NHSA?

And they claim they don't work for Ford.

Yes, I thought it was good that Ford indirectly through BN has finally acknowledged something even if was a bit of a puffer

another RUD

To your comment about underplaying the significance of these RUDs...

For a long time the presumption was that ALL RUD owners were b6g members, so we were seeing the true extent of the problem...

So...whenever Joseph finds another NON-b6g RUD, the number of likely cursed 2.7s expands EXPONENTIALLY

Yes, they used my photo/IG profile. I had no idea until another Bronco owner shared it with me

"Expect the resolution of this investigation to be complete in the near term."

Near-term definition: of or for the immediate future

yeah, yeah...I know. Ford wasn't born with the punctuality gene. But no-way does BN write that without Ford seeing it first.

@Lucchese congratulations, you have forced Ford to acknowledge there is a problem though their mouthpiece, BN.

Thanks for the link.
It was written in the “Saccharin” tone for certain. The first tell that the writer was not going to admit FoMoCo has a problem was the phrase, ““an alleged defect of the ‘valves’. Then the deflection about other engines having issues that never resulted in a recall. I dunno who wrote this article but I think they need to work on their “fair and balanced” unbiased approach.

We're you under the mistaken impression you would get “fair and balanced” from Ford's paid Bronco marketing partner, BN, run by Jackson Dawson Marketing?

“fair and balanced” from Ford's paid Bronco marketing partner

Their article did not use the word 'dumb-ass', but they pretty much said anyone buying a first-year vehicle pretty much got what they deserved.

And they referred to this place as a Blog even though this forum has been around longer.

BN=Ford propaganda division.

Yep. Oh did you catch in the same video that Esteban Plaza-Jennings has moved on as well? New Brand Manager TBD.
How will marketing Nation survive without all the video conferences with him in his Bronco being a billboard for Filson

Wow, EPJ is out as well, no loss of course, who's next, Mike Levine? Or does ML get reassigned from Twitter to BN?

At this point I'd gladly trade a dozen+ Ford management types for one new service tech at my dealer.

another blown engine report @ NHTSA

listed in B6g, we hope the owner will contact us & share info

wish we knew the engine build date on this one.

 

[Leifvan]

Julian date 211, 2167 miles on Bronco, motor stopped while 10 miles off road, not fun getting back to the pavement and then having it towed another 150 miles to home, $1300 ouch. I think mine is the first on this date, I can’t say for sure it’s a valve issue but sounds exactly like the rest of the 2.7 blown engine failures described on this post. Thanks, Lucchese and the rest of you on this post, I feel better about having to get the Bronco repaired knowing what many of you have already gone through. I’ll update once I get it to a dealer and confirm the problem.

Finally got the Bronco back after 7 ½ weeks, replacement engine supposably on backorder for three weeks, but it has a Julian date of 22052 (Feb 21st), yeah, I know probably just a onetime use bolt that Ford couldn’t get. Frustrating it says Remanufactured Engine on the repair order, hope that’s not true and just how they word it. Time to drive the shit out of the Bronco and put 2,000 miles a month on it rather than 2,000 in 6 months just to find out trying to keep your vehicles value up by keeping the miles lower, and then after this… only makes me feel like the Bronco doesn’t have the same value anymore. I think the worst part of it all is there was no compassion from the Ford service department, never could answer any questions about the cause of the issue or would acknowledge Ford has a 2.7 motor problem, she just played stupid, I felt more like I was annoying her, and I’m still loyal to Ford, love the shit out of the Bronco and Raptor and wouldn’t trade them for anything else. Now onto Ford Customer Service to finish the claim I started and fight for some money and extended powertrain warranty. Again, thanks everyone for all your posts and sharing your experiences, I know I’m definitely not alone!

Forgive me for over-generalizing the paraphrase, but President Lincoln once said something during the Civil War something to the effect: I would prefer to have 50 more mules to pull canons than to promote 50 more colonels to brigadier general! When I read your post it just seemed so similar!
