Hello
I'm one of the unfortunate bronco owners that had to deal with this. Mine happened back in the spring. Lots of posts at that time. Ford spun me in circles with the dealer. In the end I paid to get it fixed. Now have a small claims trial against Ford in June.
I'm watching these posts...
Excellent point but we would need proof that low voltage is causing it to go out of tow mode.
The fatal flaw in the system is that you really don't know if in fact it went into tow mode. At the very least it should communicate with the app so at least we could prove it was in tow mode. For Ford...
Apparently Ford engineers can access more information in the systems. It will show if it was in tow mode or not. But does it show it coming out of tow mode because of dropped voltage. Who knows.
I stated that the supplemental brake system requires power from the vehicle. In fact all the instructions call for them to be powered from the towed vehicle.
Like myself, most people run a supplemental brake system in the Bronco that requires power.
Ford, if your following this you need to fix a huge flaw. The only reason I bought the Bronco was because I could flat tow it. Now that you won't warranty it I'm down $7200. And will have to buy a...
It's an interesting take. I towed mine from Vancouver Island to Moab over several days. Sometimes I would unhook and use it Sometimes not. I did have the battery deplete once as I had to put a jump box on to start it.
The day I lost the transmission the Bronco had a full charge and I went from...
Hi Everybody,
An update on mine. Dealer said they ran it up the flag pole at Ford. Got a No at every turn. Yet Ford says it's up to the dealer to determine if it's warranty. Ford won't even talk to me now. I was without my Bronco for almost 2 months. No loaner car, nothing.
Ended up paying...
Have you got the transmission fixed?
What is Ford telling you?
I had the same issue and had to pay for a new transmission $7200. I'm in Canada. Someone else here in Oregon managed to get theirs warranted.
Hi,
I always secure the Bronco to the motorhome. Then put it in tow mode.
Last thing I do is install brake system.
I check the screen several times while doing this to make sure it says tow mode enabled.
Got to my last destination in Hurricane Utah. Had no reverse and didn't really want to go...
Hi there,
I have a similar problem. Towed my bronco from Vancouver island to Moab. No issues, wheeled it for 3 weeks. Then towed it to Hurrine last day own
