Ford Roadside towed it to the nearest dealer Friday afternoon. I am waiting to hear back.

It was perfect Thursday. I remote started it in the garage Friday. I noticed it had a little exhaust and was idling rougher. But the weather was cold so I assumed I had missed it. Drove it about 3 miles and it began to sputter and rattle loudly with the malfunction light flashing. So I pulled over and called Ford.

FWIW, Ford Roadside assistance was absolutely on top of it and got me taken care of within an hour.

Iā€™m trying not to assume the worst, but according to otherā€™s experience, I am really worried.

By chance had you been working on or around the engine prior to? Bumped connection, plug lead not fully seated? Good luck...

If you can, get a pic of your engine sticker and see where you are on your Julian date. There are two hot zones for blown motors. Hopefully not in there and itā€™s some electrical gremlin.

I donā€™t know.

It went into production on 12/15/21 and delivered on 3/24/21.

I had the 2.7, LUX, and tow package. So it definitely had a parts wait.

That new it could be a wiring harness clip not securely attached, or a retainer clip not installed allowing it to rub the belt.

That sounds like an ice mountain build. Only went one state over yet took three months from built to delivered.

I got the exact same CEL on my '18 Mustang a few weeks ago, turned out the ECU needed to be reprogrammed and that was it. Hope it's that simple for you as well.

Well the dealership they towed to called today and told me they were treating the Bronco as an unscheduled ā€˜walk inā€™ service and wonā€™t look at it today. So my next step is to call the dealer I got it from to see if they will go pick it up and expedite it.
