Understood. There has obviously been a problem. The coffee-spitting part is the percentage. I hit 100% today.
I do not have a problem with a small percenage that warrants a recall and the identification of a specific time/person/place for issues with a part. On 2 random lots, with new and...
Also. This is not dirt, a trail of dirt, a trail of water from condensation or washing. It is in the material. In the exact same spot. On every hardtop Bronco that I came across this morning.
I updated the last picture in Dealership #2. I accidentlly posted 2 of the same side. It is more obvious in the picture on one side that is is on the other. Again, easy to see in person but very hard to get a picture of.
Lighting is definitely the issue here. In person, without the light, outside = nothing. In person, with the light, no question about it. In person, with the light, and getting it on camera…hard to do.
Dealership #1. With nothing happening with the service department at the dealer, I headed out to go on with my day. This is an irritating issue but not one that is going to ruin me.
On the way out, I drove by a brand new Bronco. Curiosity got the best of me and I circled back. You see where...
Some context.
I am not a tree-hugger, I drive a 23 Bronco, a 21 V90, a 90 Pao. My wife drives an 18 4Runner and when it came time for new tires chose the BFG ATs over Michelins. But I do hate wasting materials. We made something for a reason and we should use it for it's purpose until it...
Had some time this morning and went to the first dealer in person. They said I needed to leave it for 2 days. I asked nicely If they could just eyeball it real quick and what their policy on a loaner was. They asked me where I bought it and recommended that I take it there.
I am at the second...
I put in an online request for warranty work with another dealer yesterday and have yet to get a callback or an email. This is not strike two, yet. Although it is disappointing after an immediate shutout from the first dealer.
I saw a similar post and felt bad about possibly hijacking theirs. I will delete information relevant to just mine from theirs and repost here.
I called one of my local dealers and let them know that I had hardtop cracking issues with 1,300 miles on the odometer and they said if it was just...
Have you had any traction on this? I called one of my local dealers and let them know that I had hardtop cracking issue as well but they said it would not be a warranty issue. 1,300 miles and purchased in June.
Edit to start own thread and avoid thread jacking.
Oddly, this has happened enough times that I carry a couple of expanding rubber plugs in various sizes in the toolkit. Works well enough that the last time I had to use one, I left it in for 2-3 weeks while I waited for a new gas tank. Took so long that I ended up just putting a valve on the...
It looks like specific damage. Like an object strike and not something from manufacturing? I wonder if something got dropped on it at the dealership or in transit? I've been following your thread and this has been a bad trip for you.
It also looks like a bit of rippling in the middle valley...
