So similar story to all the other ones here, car ordered in Jan 21, 4dr Black Diamond, October build, delivered early November, car has 1700 miles - Driving in a highway, racket starts, manage to pull over, wouldn't restart.

Dealer called, dropped valve, engine replacement needed.

I was on the road, so car is at a dealer about 30 miles from my house, that has been very nice, but i don't know at all.

So what are the options that people have been following? I did place a call to Customer Service, but they will take a few days to follow up.

I have owned a lot of cars, and this has never happened to me before - so advise welcome.

Thanks

UPDATE 3/11

so it has been about 2 months. Some of it waiting for the engine, some of it waiting for shop availability. Overall the dealer service people have been great. Engine finally went in today,should be done by next week. Have not checked on time for repair,at this stage rather they take their time and get it right. Will report again once in my hands. Below some pics of engine bay empty, replacement engine and back in the bay.

there is always hope.

1. Call Ford customer service, elevate with them to get engine priority and your expenses covered

2. Know your state lemon law, take notes of everything. Keep journal

3. Get engine production label pic from mechanic, update the thread with date produced (engine)

4. Be patient🥺

Advise should include reading everything on the blown 2.7 threads.
For one thing, I didn't realize until recently that the blown engine can result in metal particles getting into exhaust components and other areas that can be a major problem later.
If Ford doesn't address that during the repairs then folks should just lemon law these Broncos.

At this point, I'm starting to think Bronco has been 100% a "B Team" effort at Ford.

I'm guessing the A-team has long since been reassigned to EVs.

Son of a b****. @Ford Motor Company needs to address this before someone gets seriously injured.

I’m sitting in a restaurant right now with my wife and two kids nervous about driving my 2.7L bronco with 1500 miles home.
