Is anybody else having a ton of trouble with their Bronco

[mainebronco]

My Bronco is under 3 months old and has five thousand miles. The trouble light came on because the downhill descent was not working. I took it to the shop and in two days they fixed it. A month later I got an message that the alternator was not charging. A few miles down the road I broke down. No power. No emergency flashers. I called the Ford Roadside Assistance and they refused to come out unless they charged me $100. I made it clear the car was new. No go. I paid it anyway. The tow company said it would take 8 hours to get there. (Me with an elderly passenger on Route 10 Palm Springs for 8 hours???). I cancelled the tow and had Palm Springs Ford contract a tow company which came right away. (They rock by the way!!!!!) I am so bummed not even for the Bronco breaking but a total of 4 calls to Customer Service and Roadside Assistance and felt really abandoned. Anybody else had to call Ford after breaking down?

By the way, bought my car from Granger. Love them!!!

3 weeks here, with 1,100 miles on my 2.7L without a single issue what so ever.

Sorry to hear about your trouble. Hope it gets corrected soon. I am at 3 months and 7600 miles. No trouble yet.

Real bummer, this is not what new car owners hope for but it does/can happen.

I hope this doesn't turn into a lemon for you. Keep track of all the times the vehicle has been in the shop. Lemon laws vary by state and can be a course of action for you.

Not a single one. 3 months 8500 miles of highway, high speed dirt, Wheeling, snow bashing, hunting and not a single issue....

Had mine since september, over 5,000km (3,000 mi) and only issues I've had is a blown headlamp/accessory fuse and a faulty rear panel for the soft top that was that way at delivery, I just didn't notice.

Hope they can sort yours out quickly.

Although these are disappointing issues - 2 issues in 5k miles to me is not "a ton" of issues.

My wife's Honda had the rear sliding door stick open with 800 miles on the vehicle and 3 kids in the back - one only 2 months old.

By 3k miles we had 3 different motors in the rear doors and that was before they recalled the doors and installed 2 more motors.

It now has 45k miles on it and we love it. It's a 2018 which was first year of a redesign. Kinks happen - they get worked out.

I had an alert in the Ford Pass app about a hill descent problem or something like that, but I wasn't going on a hill anywhere. I haven't had any other alerts.

First year fiasco.

By 2024 all the problems will be fixed and they'll be available on the lot with discounts.

Hey @Administrator I just realized we need a laugh-then-cry-profusely emoji on B6G.

Haven't had any issues with mine yet, 3 months and 1,700 miles.

 

[Martiin]

Going on 2 months with my OuterBanks with the 2.7 2,500 miles with no issues. Majority of the miles are put by wife and she hasn't had any issues.
