I have 2.3 and 2.7. They do not sound great when you first start them but so far they have both worked while I have not pushed them hard yet.My local dealer had my 2.3 for misfire for 3.5 weeks. Ended up replacing the injector. Problem fixed. Running well. Be patient. Give them time to fix properly. I had a spare vehicle so I didnât push.
New engine, no problems. If you get the latest engine then you got the one that has all the crap issues worked out.So my Bronco has been in the shop the past week. Took a drive from Texas to California and back. No problem whatsoever the whole trip.... no heavy revving or driving crazy or anything like that since I had my family in the car. Had done an oil change not too long ago either.
Took it to Ford because it felt wrong as soon as I got back into my driveway and then the engine check light comes on. Sure enough, Ford tells me it's misfiring. It's been in the shop for a week now and they said they plan to install a new oxygen sensor (not sure how that works?), rerun the tests, and drive it on the road to see how it functions. But he said more than likely, they'll need to replace the engine. I have 20k miles on it and I got this back in July 2022 so yea... a little high when I think the usual is ~12k mi to ~15k mi per year.
The service department is telling me though, if I get this new engine, they are telling me that I seriously need to consider selling this (not to them in particular, just sell it in general). They said they've had so many Bronco owners return their vehicles for engine issues.
So what's the general consensus? With a new engine, should I just hold on to it? Do we have any evidence that the Bronco engines have a high failure rate?
Keep it and make sure the new engine has a warranty.So my Bronco has been in the shop the past week. Took a drive from Texas to California and back.

Maybe they meant to say we ll rotate the tires and see if that does the trick âŠ. Honestly not sure I d want those particular clowns working on my rig⊠??Why are they giving you ownership advice at the service department over a repair? That makes zero sense.
Actually the crankshaft position sensor detects misfires. The O2 sensors will detect the unburned oxygen from the misfires.My first reaction was that replacing the O2 sensor(s) is like replacing your toilet paper because you crapped your pants
but, the O2 sensors are what detects a misfire so they might be thinking they should make sure they are working first
