Key west trip and brake light issue

[Drew5150]

I have a Big Bend 4 door 2.3 manual transmission. From Cleveland Ohio to Key West Florida we averaged 19.3 MPG. I'd say 60% Eco and 40% sport mode. Great trip, I did have the break light come on 3 times on the way down. Let me know if anyone has had that happen to them. I stoped at Gator Ford. Off of rt 4. By Tampa on Saturday and asked them if they could check it to see if it was a major issue. They said the only thing they could do is make an apointment for Monday. I said Great can we get a car to drive? He said they don't have one and the rental car places closed already. Then he ask so do you want me to make an appointment for Monday? I said again we are from Ohio! Where do you want me to go, can we stay the weekend at the dealership? He said no I said we'll there's your answer on the appointment! Other than that the trip and the Bronco have been great!!

Did you check the Brake Fluid level?

Ford PSA…Wax and brakes don’t mix. Please do not wax your brake calipers.
Thank you.

Oh man, you lucky dogs are tearing me up. I've got all of these plans for trips in my head, and ain't got no Bronco to do them in......

Look like a great trip Drew. I hope it's a simple fix for that brake light. I'm gonna guess a loose connection somehere.

If it is still driving well, I'd keep rolling.

19mpg at those speeds is phenomenal.

VIN? I can pull an OASIS and check the code.

There’s been a lot of posts I think it was for related to either the abs light or break light been hard to keep up cause the quality controle isent there yet on the bronco

Do you really expect Ford to read every damn post and respond to them?

If I was Ford I would stay off the forums because it is obvious they can't make bronco6g happy.

BTW ... I have been on many car forums and any attempt by any manufacturer to provide input or respond to anything ends in disaster. It is a NO WIN situation.

So please don't criticize Ford. Be happy that they are interjecting themselves here.

simple .. don't give Ford your money >> Kick them where it hurts.
