It seems logical and easy to jump to the electronics and sensors for this type of problem, but it could be mechanical. When I took delivery of my new Focus ST (2.0 EcoBoost), less than 500 miles later it lost power, dash lit up and I was in limp home mode. It would start but barely move...

Yep. Lots of newer cars have it. My dad had a Mercedes E350 back in 2013 that had it.

Turbocharged engines are notoriously hard on oil, much more so than a naturally aspirated engine. My 2.7 Bronco gets fresh 5w-30 full-synthetic and a new filter every 5k miles. Same with the 2.0 EcoBoost in our '16 Focus ST. The Focus has 70k hard miles on it without a hiccup. Our non-turbo...

Not at all opposed to getting my oil and other services at the dealer, in theory they're the best trained and equipped to do the work properly. Sadly, that's not usually the case. I did use my Ford dealer in N Atlanta (Howell Ford) as they were exceedingly easy to work with, very competent and...

I ordered my BB Sas with mid-pkg specifically for the heated/cloth combination. Florida and an open top vehicle is no place for black or dark gray vinyl. The cloth is holding up beautifully and is more comfortable than the leather in my wife’s MDX. Wouldn’t trade the cloth for either leather...

Emotions aside... I wouldn't roll negative equity over from the Honda into a Bronco unless you're awash in cash, which the negative equity indicates you're not. Between the negative equity, the substantially higher cost of a Bronco, likely higher interest rates and the increased fuel and likely...

I'd agree with the above. These engines aren't built with such tight tolerances that the first few hours are crucial, like would be the case on a purpose built racing engine. If that was the case you'd hear plenty from folks who bought year-old off-rental cars that probably were bounced off...

Mine is pretty close to full after 6 qts., another 1/4 bottle and it's perfect. Same is true of our Focus ST which also uses 5w-30. I always have a half container available as a result.

My '23 BB 4dr. drops the window an inch or so as soon as I touch the handle with the fob nearby. No fob, no drop.

Some dealers, and their sales staff's swear the internet never happened. They refuse to believe a consumer can educate themselves and are delusional in believing they know more than an educated buyer. There's still some uneducated or lazy buyers out there that can be easily bamboozled but...

Great trip down memory lane, but would you pay 31k for a "new" '73 Bronco vs. 38k for a new '24 Bronco if given the choice? A 270 horse engine, standard A/C, roll bar, ABS, safety gizmo's, an (awful) stereo, full seating, etc. A new Bronco (or Wrangler) is actually a pretty fair deal in...

If today's brand of criminal can't steal a car with a manual transmission, they've certainly never learned the art of siphoning gas. My wife's MDX has the locking gas door, I have to push the button on the drivers door to open the gas filler. It's a nuisance as far as I'm concerned but I've...

‘23 BB Sas with the V6. I can’t say enough good about the 2.7 EcoBoost. I’m averaging 19 mph, about 60% on the highway and love its torque and refinement. It’s not “fast” like a 5.0 Mustang but the midrange power is fantastic. Passing slower vehicles on a 2-lane is a piece of cake, it gets...

I did. But not until after I'd already taken delivery! It came in an e-mail from Ford

I'm at 19.3 over 9200 miles on my '23 BB Sasquatch 2.7 4 dr. Staying out of the boost is a big part of it, so is speed on highway trips. At 75 mph, I can eke out mid 18s, if I push it to 80 or 82, it drops into the 16 range. The Bronco is a lot of things, but it ain't aerodynamic. Pushing...

Where were you? In the South, this time of year can be weird. Moderate temperatures but high humidity. Running the A/C not only cools the air but also extracts moisture through the evaporation process which in some atmospheric conditions can result in fog. That’s likely what you’re seeing. I...

Buy it from a place that will allow you to return it after you’ve inspected it closely. Dorman may make some OEM parts, but my experience with them is the quality varies wildly depending on the part and where it gets manufactured. How much is a new OEM pan from one of the Ford parts houses...

Add the Ford folding tailgate table. The table itself is decent but requires you drill 4 holes in the tailgate of your new Bronco and the hardware Ford supplies to mount it once you’ve drilled those holes is garbage.

2 experiences with Safelite, one on my ‘16 Cad XTS was perfect. Came to my house, GM glass, installed and calibrated using a box that plugged into the OBS port. Worked and fit perfectly. A couple years later my ‘20 MDX Tech got a huge crack. Due to Covid we had to wait 5 months for new glass...

So true. One year in my Bronco has been perfect with zero issues. But my local Ford dealer is average at best and horrible on sales so I really don’t want to test them. Previously we had a Grand Cherokee, the Jeep dealer was like being in an abusive relationship and I just kept going back for...
