Yes I am. Trauma ICU for 13 years that ended up a Covid ICU during the two surges. Yes itās been a rough couple years and the Bronco was a bright spot for me.Geezus, please don't tell me you are a nurse. Then I will feel worse. Being a nurse myself, not only did we get screwed during the whole covid pandemic (worked a ton of mandated overtime, dealt with significant changes on a hourly basis [what ppe to use, how to handle visitors, etc.], but most of those who I know, got stuck paying great big tax bill at the end of the year from of off our overtime. Now, this... ?!!
I really like the 22 tundra My heart wants me to get my bronco my head is telling me to let the dealer have it a d order a 22 Trd pro tundra. I a,ready got stuff for my bronco though and just ordered the arch type racing steps for it the other day so Iām in it for better or worst just got to try and stay pumped I mean positive
Just pray we donāt get a bad 2.7 put into our broncos I wonder why Ford has been so quit on the subject lolI suspect that if it's an engine problem, it's likely to be another failed valve. Seems like the bad batch of valves theory (hasn't been confirmed) may actually be a thing. Additionally since the Lima Engine plant was having low daily production numbers around that time due to being idled, it wouldn't surprise me if the date range is substantial but the numbers are relatively low... but who knows at this point.
Don't expect Ford to admit to a problem until the bad news is too big to manage.Just pray we donāt get a bad 2.7 put into our broncos I wonder why Ford has been so quit on the subject lol
Yeah I really think us guys that didnāt get built yet should be ok hopefully they used up all the bad 2.7 engines lol. Iām just going to try and stay positive that this shit all works out and we all get decent broncosDon't expect Ford to admit to a problem until the bad news is too big to manage.
I won't be surprised by a bad 2.7 motor at this point, and I won't even be angry about it, if Ford got screwed because a supplier sent them bad valves... Not a big deal actually. Mostly because they will replace the motor without any fanfare...
If there are a bunch of bad engines out there (and they would know it by now) then they are probably scrambling to make more motors over at Lima. The back-order queue was 2 engines at this point, so that doesn't even trouble me... yet.
Now, I don't want to have to go through all that, but I would much rather things fail out of the gate as opposed to 2 years, 11 months, and 29 days later. My vehicle will likely be broken in by the end of two weeks, and then it will get some decent exercise to make sure that the quality is up to snuff.
After having my Bronco three days and less than 100 miles, I was about five miles from home when my transmission light came on last night and the vehicle would not go any faster than about 35mph. At 35 the power was limited and a fair bit of vibration could be felt. At the time I had it in eco mode.
I havenāt experienced limp mode since having a Volvo years ago, so not sure if thatās what was going on.
Needless to say Iām livid. To wait months and then have the excitement of finally being able to drive it snubbed by a possibly serious trans issue is infuriating. I havenāt read of anyone having a similar issue and wanted to let others know about it. I have the 2.7. Itās been towed to the dealer where they will look at it first thing tomorrow. Iām hoping itās something as simple as a bad sensor. Iāll update as I have news.
That sucks! I am in Evans as well, and have a build date of 11-15. Had a VIN since April, and first build date of 6-21-21. What dealer did you use?
Thanks for your service to the community. You are appreciated and valued, at least by me.Yes I am. Trauma ICU for 13 years that ended up a Covid ICU during the two surges. Yes itās been a rough couple years and the Bronco was a bright spot for me.
Thatād be nice, but itās unlikely. IF this alleged dropped valve thing turns out to be a real widespread problem, I wouldāt expect Ford to just send out new motors to everyone. Think about it, why would they pay to replace a perfectly good and expensive block, crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, oil pump, etc. if nothing is wrong with them? IF this repair does end up being needed on a wide scale Iād suspect theyāll just have the cylinder heads replaced or maybe even just new valves and keepers installed at the dealer.if Ford got screwed because a supplier sent them bad valves...

When I said replace the motor, I mean when it fails, sorry... I should have been more clear about that. They aren't about to pull all the Broncos potentially impacted in for a new motor. They will expect you to blow it up first!Thatād be nice, but itās unlikely.

Itās about doing the most cost effective repair. They MIGHT issue a FSA extending the warranty on the engine for a bit as a goodwill gesture, but ānew engines for allā is pretty unlikely.
Ex. Focus RS with head gasket problems got head gaskets only. 1.5 & 1.6 ecoboost with block issues got new short block but reused the existing cylinder head.
I hope itās just a fluke thing and no TSB or FSA is required, but time will tell.
sorry about the OPās transmission. & didnāt mean to hijack the thread.
