So, as a lot of you I am sure, I ordered my Bronco and had to wait for what seemed like forever. I had a 79' bronco as a kid and I loved it. When they announced the new Broncos I knew I had to get one. I placed my order and waited forever. Got pushed to next model year but waited patiently for my base model 2 dr standard transmission 2.3 ltr bronco to arrive.
I ended up getting a model 2022 year. I just passed 20k miles and I am driving on the highway and my clutch pedal gets stuck to the floor. This happened to me shifting into 6th on the highway which was harrowing. I had to pull to the side, turn off the vehicle and pull the clutch pedal back up. Now reverse 1st through 3rd gear sound like a grinding mess so I brought it back to the dealer.
I have never owned a new vehicle in my life and didnt plan to until I saw the bronco come out. To say that this is a disappointment is an understatement. Yes it will likely still be under my bumper to bumper warranty but I honestly dont know that I want to keep this vehicle now. If this happens again after the warranty is out I will be totally screwed. The dealership has not yet got back to me but I feel like I was sold a lemon.
I have been driving standard transmissions since I was a kid and have never had this happen. Nevermind to a vehicle that only has 20k miles on it. I think when its repaired Im going to get rid of it and steer clear of american vehicles once again. I am currently a supervisor for a manufacturing company in the US so it pains me to say this but we make lesser quality vehicles here. I figured since it was build here in the US that I would be fine. I might as well had got a bronco sport built in Mexico.
We stayed with our orders even though they took forever and seemed like they would never start rolling out and what do I get for being a faithful customer>? Now I'm driving a crappy Ford Edge loaner that reeks of cigarette's from the dealership until I hear back. Gotta love the union auto manufacturers, they always have their hands out for raises and better benefits but they produce crap.
