Thanks! I'll admit that I didn't read the whole thing before posting....
lol it’s all good. It was easy to miss
I am in this build date , so tired of all the issues. still have not gotten my bronco back from the clutch issue.Very small build window for Bronco luckily, so I doubt very many are affected at all, but just thought I would share anyway.
Not all vehicles within the build date will have the recall. So hopefully yours isn’t affected.
I understand what you mean. But the manual transmission debacle is quite a bit different then this issue.
I haven’t heard or seen any failures recently, so I think the failure they were having has been resolved, but not 100% sure.
A good question. I’d be sure Ford has done an economic analysis on this or is proceeding based on past experience. A short block replacement at a dealership is probably 10X in dealer labor cost as opposed to the dealer labor to replace an engine. Also, there’s would be increased risk of future failures due to a multitude of potential assembly issues. I don’t believe there are too many of us who would be happy buying a new car with a ”rebuilt” engine even if it was fully warranted.
My private mechanic said, “Use fully synthetic oil”.
Just sent you a dm.
I'd be curious to know if they're referring to the engine build date or the vehicle build date. Those are not the same. Fingers crossed for you on that one.
It’s been back, this generation has been a mess. It’s bad enough that they bastardized the ST name with it, but at least they could put some QC into it.The return of the Exploder
What is turbo waste gate is I may ask? I am looking into Broncos as my next vehicle and will most likely get the 2.3 turbo. Should I be concerned about longevity?
