Brand new bronco overheated today [Updated 8/19]

[BandofEskimoBrothers]

The dealership is closed. I am waiting on Ford to call me. They called earlier but got disconnected. I have to find out where to have it towed because I bought it in texas and I am in Tennessee.

You can take it to any Ford Dealership. It doesn't matter where you bought it from, any dealer will charge all warranty work back to the manufacturer.

2hr test drive? My dealer has offered 30min and no off-roading.

I'm getting one for the weekend. Of course I've got a great dealer !

All the hysteria over one vehicle overheating is hilarious. Good riddance to anyone canceling their order over this. Good luck going to another brand, you're just as likely to experience an assembly line defect.

That really sucks. Ford has some serious issues to work through.

I hate how everyone here jumps to conclusions and then just states them as facts.

how about let’s wait and see what the actual cause was before assuming it’s a “serious issue”.

Like others have said probably as simple as a clamp on one end of a coolant hose that held on for as long as it could and then blew off.

OP I’m sorry this happened and I realize it’s not a desirable thing and a big inconvenience, but it could very well be minor and easily resolved so don’t panic just yet.

good luck.

Did you even bother reading the thread? It's not about an overheating Bronco, apparently it's about barbecue sauce!

Why are you even here, Felicia?

Is this your conclusion or are you making assumptions?

Is this your conclusion or are you making assumptions?

there is no conclusion until the OP reports back once the root cause is determined and the what the final outcome is. Hence the word “PROBABLY” in my statement. The difference here is I didn’t just jump to “Ford has a serious issue here” and then state it as fact. I posed a VERY likely scenario and presented it as a possible explanation while still suggesting we all wait for an actual diagnosis of what happened. Maybe the sky isn’t actually falling just yet. But hey it’s the internet, so why bother. Everyone just say whatever you want as though it’s hard cold truth. Who will ever know the difference right. “Alternate facts”

My dealer told me that’s normal for new engine.

Isn't coolant just cosmetic?

Am I doing it right?

I prefer to put BBQ on the MIC top to enhance the honeycomb rather than the engine though.

There’s nothing to see here. Every automobile has the potential for issues. Whether it’s got 1 mile on the odometer or 50,000.

That’s why I cancelled my order and bought a 4Runner that will last forever.

Have a newer 4runner..... They stall from faulty low pressure fuel pump..... Getting it replaced next week. Good luck though

That's what the warranty is for. Take it to the dealer and have them figure it out.

2 thousand miles are you serious. I’ve driven my Tacoma 250k miles and it never left me on the side of the road.
