  1. Dreaded ECO GOAT mode??

    I have the 2.7 and I don't see to get better than 16.7 mpg around town. I do leave in a hilly area, but nothing close to 18 mog. I am running the car in Regular, and the only thing that has happened twice now, is that if I merge onto a highway while in ECO and really step on it, the engine...
  2. Jeep Wrangler Owner (Bronco on order) - I've got questions

    I would agree with everyone here - I have a BD 4dr non SAS - and drove for about a month a JL 4dr The Bronco is far superior in interior comfort and driving manners - i find myself going faster than should and the car behaves great The MT tires are not ideal, but even with those it behaves...

    Interesting and consistent thread - about 3k miles here (2 engines) -two key complaints - noise, car is so loud with soft too and I have hadmany convertibles and keeps - the rain at door - it’s not a drop, it drenches you has anyone compared the hardtop soft top for noise ?

  6. How many dropped the tow? Made a difference?

    I dropped the tow back in November on a BD 2.7 Mid, no MIC - and had a build date in 2 weeks. It is hard to ask about the tow option and its result without knowledge of other options that may be delaying otherwise the build.
  7. Replacement 2.7 Engine Update -

    yes, It was one of the 44 2.7s that failed before 2k miles
  8. Replacement 2.7 Engine Update -

    After approximately 2 months of waiting, I got back my car with a new engine. The dealer did a great job and kept the car for 50 or some miles to ensure all was working. I have now added another 500 miles or so, and everything working as expected. I did place an order for another Bronco, just...
  9. Tail light - Halogen to LED

    I know this topic has been discussed before, but I actually got a hold of an LED Tail Light and tested it on my BD. Almost all of the light works, apart from the turn signal. Actually, it half works. The turn signal in the dashboard blinks fast (as when a light bulb is burnt) but the tail...
  10. Ford will ship Broncos without chips controlling non-safety critical features

    to be fair, it is not all Ford’s blame - every manufacturer is dealing with the same shortages (parts, labor, transport, etc). there is no conspiracy or hiding of the issues, Mercedes’ is not selling V8s this year (even if you ordered one) GM is not taking orders on some cars, and Ford is also...
  11. Another blown 2.7 UPDATE

    Updated Thread
  12. 2.7L blown engine failure list . . 68 so far [Updated: December 13, 2022]

    Are those actually selling. Since Ford offered a replacement, if I was able to find a car, I have found a number of dealers with cars on their lots with ADM of 10-20K, but the same cars have been sitting there for the last 45 days. So are they actually selling?
  13. 2.7L blown engine failure list . . 68 so far [Updated: December 13, 2022]

    About a week is all I have gotten. Together with "its the first Bronco engine, so we want to go slow and careful" ....I am assuming at least two weeks assuming no additional parts needed.
  14. 2.7L blown engine failure list . . 68 so far [Updated: December 13, 2022]

    So finally got to see my replacement engine - still not IN the car, just in the crate and it has the same black label, AB and Bronco MY21 mention.
  15. 2.7L blown engine failure list . . 68 so far [Updated: December 13, 2022]

    Most lemon laws kick in after 30 days of the car being out of service. Ford adheres to each state Lemon Law. For example my car has been in the shop for 2 months now, at 1 month the offer for the buy back kicks in. You then have a choice of buy back, replacement (but you have to find the car or...
  16. 2.7L blown engine failure list . . 68 so far [Updated: December 13, 2022]

    The dealer got the engine and now waiting on the work to be completed. Also debating the right step. I am assuming that it is highly likely that a CarFax would show the engine replacement. It shows common service items, so it should. I can see some people being concerned, and some happy that it...
  17. 2.7L blown engine failure list . . 68 so far [Updated: December 13, 2022]

    Well you are very lucky to have a Bronco loaner. I have nothing (well an offer for me to float a rental). My 1/8 blown engine just received the engine last week. The car has yet to go into the shop as they are short mechanics. And of course, not sure what else they may need so don't really have...
  18. Issues with second 2.7 engine (replacement)

    That is the exactly one of the two messages I got when my engine broke. The other one had the same title but referred to an "engine air leak into the engine that should not be present" The engine was rattling pretty bad as well. It prompted the dealer to first ask if I had just refilled...
  19. 2.7L blown engine failure list . . 68 so far [Updated: December 13, 2022]

    Your kind comment mentioned my comment approach - I guess I went through all stages of grief ! So they only offered me rental reimbursement (Ford ) so you just pick your fights and inconveniences. I am waiting to see what Ford offers at the end.
  20. 2.7L blown engine failure list . . 68 so far [Updated: December 13, 2022]

    Thankfully have not needed a rental, so rather not add that expense (you got to pay and then wait for reimbursement). The car is at a Ford Dealer, closest to where it broke down, not my selling dealer. Not many shops have done Bronco engine replacements, shard to gauge, but so far the feedback...
