  1. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    They could learn it from Tesla as well. I've had a Model S and currently a Performance Model 3. Every time either has been in the shop, I get a better car than mine as a loaner and the work is usually done in a day. For smaller things, the tech just comes to your house. Yeah, I definitely...
  2. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    Ha ha, I mean, everyone is different, but to me $70 was a pretty small price to pay to limit my liability to $3500. I imagine if I had come down hard on the rocker and smashed it in, that would get me right past that $3500.
  3. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    I will now be waiting for the wheels to fall off :ROFLMAO:
  4. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    Good question. I don't know that they were charging anyone. I asked, but didn't really get a straight answer. My point about the rock rails was that a few guys bounced their Broncos off the rock rails and I went over the same obstacles in an Outer Banks that didn't have rock rails. Had I...
  5. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    On a different and much more positive note, my wife and I attended the Off-Rodeo in New Hampshire and it was awesome. The facilities were great, the program was definitely tailored to demonstrate the Bronco’s capabilities, and they really do let you loose (more than I expected). I was a bit...
  6. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    Yes, the problems are many. The vehicle is basically awesome, but there are a significant number of details to be worked out.
  7. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    Well, there are a few ways to get into lemon law territory. One is multiple trips to the dealer for the same issue. Another is being out of service for over 30 days. That's where I am, so I think if I take it back, the 30 day clock would reset, but would still be able to file if it has to go...
  8. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    I actually already bought the transferable extended warranty. I am going to ask them to reimburse me for that, as well as compensation for the time it's been gone (I was not offered a loaner).
  9. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    While I have to conclude that Ford has not handled this particularly well, I think it's because Broncos have a LOT of problems and they have their hands full right now. It is interesting that the member on here that dropped a valve in the 2.7 was back on the road in no time while my Bronco has...
  10. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    Yes, I talked to Ford twice yesterday and missed a call from the dealer. The new engine is at the dealer apparently and they are in the process of installing. I am still waiting on the buyback team to call me. They were supposed to call Tuesday, but I still have not heard from them. The...
  11. Black Diamond on The Outer Banks

    That VB BD looks great! I see you opted for the aluminum wheels. Did you add the BFGs after? Are they bigger than stock?
  12. No more Manual Transmission Broncos at the Austin Off-Roadeo

    Not today. They had one manual and it was a preproduction that nobody could drive. It was awesome though. Even with the auto I had a blast.
  13. Is there a storage bag for the soft top windows?

    If the windows were laying flat with some blankets or padding on top, it would probably be fine. But I got caught in the rain with the back and side windows out (left at home) and even the trunk area didn't really get wet. It has to be raining pretty hard with some wind for water to come in...
  14. Broken front axle at CV joint on my Bronco Badlands 4-Door 2.7L

    Today marks 30 days for me. I had a serious drivetrain issue manifesting as a harsh vibration/noise. Dealer replaced the whole clutch assembly, but that didn't solve it. They moved on to the transmission and are now focused on the engine (2.3). I'm hoping I'm close to getting it back! Good...
  15. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    I have not placed an order yet with my res, as I was waiting on manual Squatch. I still plan on selling this one shortly before taking delivery of the 2-door ManSquatch as planned.
  16. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    Yeah, I don't know what the best answer is at this point. If they get it fixed, then I have a Bronco. It sounds like Broncos are not getting easier to come by these days. On the other hand, I have to wonder what a lot of early warranty work will do to value. I'd invoke the "replace" part of...
  17. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    So, after I posted the update yesterday, I got a call from my powertrain engineer contact. They had already shipped a new 7-speed transmission out to the dealer, but they decided to do a video call. They had engineers in Michigan and England on the call while the dealer went through with an...
  18. Drivetrain Failure in Bronco Badlands 2.3 Back with new engine after 4 months

    So, several more days and nothing to report really. I am astonished at the lack of concern anyone seems to show. My dealership has never contacted me without me pestering them. My Ford customer specialist emailed me two days ago and said the dealer was reaching out to me with options, but I...
