Discouraged Ford guy here. My 2012 Mustang is awesome. Never had a problem. My 2021 Big Bend? Eligible for lemon law. My 2021 F150? In and out of shop. Because I am an optimist I bought a 2023 Heritage edition. So far 🤞 made it 5000 miles with no problems but it doesn't surprise me Ford reported...
Ford man all my life. My dad owned Ford dealership as a kid in 60-70s. Now own a Mustang, F150 and my second Bronco (first was lemon law candidate.) Email me if you want to be bored with details but short story is: Ford quality is uniformly AWFUL. Breaks my heart
I considered lemon lawing my 21 Big Bend. (AC could not be repaired after 5 trips to 3 dealers) I ended up selling it to a Ford dealer and ordering a 23 Heritage which I got in September and has been trouble free so far. Ford has great ideas. Bad quality. My 21 F150 was recently out of service...
My 21 BB 2.3 five A/C failures. Three different dealers tried five different repairs. I gave up and sold it. I have a new 23 HE 2.7 in shipping now. I'm hoping the issues with the 21 were "first-year" bugs but seeing way more problems here than should be expected. I put 100,000 on my two FJ...
Ford guy all my life. Recently had a Mustang, F150 and Bronco BB. Bronco has been a nightmare. Among other issues, AC has failed 5 times. Three different dealers haven't found route cause. I gave up and wholesaled it, hoping my 23 HE will eventually be built, but nervous about quality. Now my...
Mine got moved from 9/4 to 8/14. Then back to 8/21. After two years reading hundreds of these posts I can clearly see: Ford should fire everyone and hire Amazon to run their supply chain.
Recognizing markets are dropping, I sold my 2021 this week. (Have an Aug 21 build date for a 23 HE.) 2021 BB. 2.3 Auto Mid pkg Area 51 soft top 17,000 miles non-sasquatch. Carvana and Vroom were 34.5. My Ford dealer 36.5. Another Ford dealer bought it for 36.5. Sticker was 40.5 which I paid 2...
Sold my 2021 BB 4 Dr soft top area 51 non-sasquatch 16,800 mi. yesterday to a Ford dealer for 37.5. Orig sticker 40.5. Vroom and Carvana were 34.5. Another Ford dealer 36.5. I have a September build date for my Heritage and decided to get in front of a collapsing used market.
I was lucky to get my BB July 2021. Now have an HE on order since Mar 27 with no communication until bogus 45 day email yesterday. "We wanted to tell you...er... nothing"
Of course, love Bronco or wouldn't be buying another. But the mismanagement is outrageous. An A to Ford marketing for...
My BigBend was early one. Built Jun29, 2021. Found a TSB for whistle noise over 70 mph. Repair is change our mirror cover. BUT my dealer is being coy because the TSB says vehicles built before Jun23. Those TSB are not real precise.
Will be selling my Area 51 Big Bend once my Azure HE arrives. Love the Area 51 as a ,"flat" color. Expect the Azure tei coat to have more depth and color shift in light changes??
CONGRATS Love the Heritage look. (My Dad was the Ford dealer and I was a kid in 1966 so very nostalgic). Told my dealer to put me on the list. Plan to sell my 2021 Big Bend whenever I can get a Heritage.
Monday, my Big Bend, with 11,000 miles goes in for the FOURTH time to try and repair AC. This will be 3rd dealer to try. One just topped off freon and blamed factory. Another replaced compressor. One "found" leak and fixed it using a special light (?) Each of these worked a few weeks. Ford...
