Looks like I will try removing them and doing a better job on them. Oracle said they would not ship me new housings - I'd have to buy a whole new set - but I can't do that on principle alone.
I was torn on this purchase because most foglight kits are sky-high prices for inexpensive hardware. On...
UPDATE 9/29: Oracle's response to this thread was quick and productive. They agreed that the rust is excessive for the timeframe and provided a very fair solution (your results may vary, so I am being purposely vague). The customer service team has been very responsive and thorough. Oracle...
Basically, you wanted a Wildtrak with a painted top.
- gloss black:
- grill
- mirror caps
- door handles (color matched)
- rims / beauty rings
- Bronco emblem
Mine is a 21 (no painted hardtop yet), but in Cactus gray, and the gloss black contrasts against CG very nicely, with black hood...
I think it's worth it given all the digital problems that can happen on modern cars - especially from brands and models that are not associated with reliability, such as this car. If your screen stops working, I imagine that is well over $1000. Gauge cluster failure. Sensors. 4WD modes won't...
It depends on your starting point:
- base 6 speaker setup with no subwoofer and no amps
- Base 6 speaker setup with "ghost" subwoofer (wired for it with enclosure but no actual amp or speaker inside)
- base 7 speaker setup (includes amp/sub in rear)
- B&O 10 speaker setup (includes amp/sub in...
I gotta admit - that's a good looking little SUV, and impressively capable, for someone that wants something small but more capable than a CRV or Rav4.
FWIW I was part of a failed class action law suit with frame rot on my 2006 4Runner. It was from a production batch with frames that had been outsourced to a 3rd party that botched rust prevention. This 3rd party also made frames for Tacoma's of the same vintage, and the class action law suit...
People may refuse to give direct answers to direct questions for a variety of psychological, social, or strategic reasons. Here are some of the most common causes:
1. Avoidance of Accountability
Fear of consequences: They worry their answer might get them into trouble, offend someone, or be...
No, you are continuing to dodge every specific question and continue to conflict yourself, which has convinced everyone on this thread that you don't want to share the answers to 3 simple question, because you know they work against your argument that your problem stems from bad product design...
Why not just look at the data. I said 10-15. Here are 11 for my Bronco, built in August of 21. For comparison, 2021 4Runner would have 1 recall for a mislabeled sticker, and a 2013 4Runner would have only 5 recalls over its 12-year life).

Wait. It's a 2022 and it's new? Which is it. You bought it new from a Ford dealer in 2022? So this kit was put on 3 years ago? This post says it was "not put on by a Ford Dealership" (so who did it!?!?). Your communication skills are terrible for someone who comes from a customer service...
It seems like you are assuming Ford and Ford dealerships to be part of the same organization. They are totally separate. The customer service at my Ford dealership is excellent.
You sure about that?
