BRONCO 2.7 Stalled and left me Stranded!!!!

[VoltageDrop]

I’m sure people could tell tons of stories about weird places they’ve made repairs. I had to do a battery swap in the parking lot of the USS Arizona memorial back in like 1997.

I had the shifter cable pop off the transmission in my 93 Bronco at the Taco Bell drive-thru window in college so I was stuck in park. Not only did I get to crawl around on hot asphalt soaked in soybeef grease but my e-brake didn't work so I had to borrow rocks from their landscaping to chock the tires so I didn't run myself over while manually shifting into drive underneath. I'm sure all the cars behind me were annoyed but also enjoyed the entertainment. I believe the modern term for this is FML.

Yeah, we need to figure out what the easy fix can be, because this is going to happen to most of us that trail these rigs.

Is it? This is not a widespread issue from what I've seen and folks have been wheeling these things hard for almost a year now. This could be something as simple as the connector at the fuel tank didn't get seated all the way.

Did you by chance try to start it remotely with the app?

Well after it happend to me, I have checked all around… these forums, BroncoNation and Facebook and its happening more often than I thought. I think we have a fuel pump issue. Just a heads up for Everyone when they out there, especially us that have kids. Something to have in the back of our minds before heading out deep anywhere.

And the dealer may just say, we can’t replicate it. Let us know if it happens

One from their "Excuses For When We Don't Know What is Wrong With Your Vehicle" book.

Sounds like what happened to the Broncbuster guy when he flipped his wife’s Bronco

he said ford performance was looking at her’s to figure out what happened

I said what I said.

And I found it to be pompous

Would you mind DM'ing me your VIN? I can look at the codes for you and see if anything stands out.

I don't think he's being dramatic at all. just stating what happened. I do most of my wheeling solo in places there are few people and no cell service. I have to trust my vehicle. If I don't, I have no reason to own it. If it strands me, there better be a clear reason why and the 100% satisfaction that it was fixed.

Now, if you're cruising the mall or the more frequented tourist trails, then by all means embrace a vehicle that is not reliable. Rides and tows are a dime a dozen.

PSA, no matter how reliable your vehicle is, it is not recommended that you wheel alone.

Hello Bronco family, today I took my 22 Wildtrak to some nearby trails and it was doing great until it stalled on an incline and wouldnt start over any more!! It was asking for a “Manual Start”? I couldnt find any where on how to do that. Its an Automatic. I am very disappointed that this happen, I have lost trust in my Bronco to take out again. Smh! What can I do about this? Has anybody had this happen?

Good morning! Could you privately message us with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer? I'd like to look into this stalling concern. Thank you!

Hey coincidentally when the wife and I recently took our new Defender off-roading in Big Bend, we saw a broken down Bronco....but was due to a broken tie rod. Sorry this happened to you man, but glad to see it looks like Ford is taking care of it.

Yikes, I’ve been to big bend several times and haven’t come across many obstacles I would expect possible to break a tie rod.

Right?? But a few years back a Unimog did roll on Old Ore Road, so I guess anything's possible....

I'd be pretty annoyed if my bronco stopped working while off-roading haha

Not a huge deal, are you kidding me. He has every right to be upset....
