Last week, 17 October, operating at 10 mph, my 8-month old '24 (3,155 mile) 2.7 BD Sas. began pushing the following dash warnings instantaneously and consecutively in this order:
Pre-Collision Assist Not Available
Service Engine Soon
Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power
The engine began...
Did that as well. The new one warped as well. Third attempt to correct, removed from Bronco on the lot. Same thing. Its a heat issue that overcomes bad design. Newer Ford F150 has rubber attached to hard plastic cowl cover. Local Ford dealer here submitted notification to ford Engineers...
Keith,
Looking for responses, and I appreciate yours'. Looking for those with similar issues and those without to reply. If my situation and others are due to a bad batch of plastic or a new vendor, that's helpful.
Jimmy,
Have had two replaced and the third no better. F150 design may...
I'm surprised that other owners aren't observing and reporting the same condition of their factory cowl covers when similar temperatures occur. This forum is created for just this purpose among other reasons. I'll make an educated guess that all of the factory Bronco cowl covers are...
2024 Black Diamond with Sasquatch Package, modular bumper, 2-door hardtop, with "steps" not running boards, as pictured. Brush card installed post factory. Thanks for any assistance.
Reid,
Thank you. This would confirm that FOMOCO 'can' address the situation. I will reference the year and model; and your photograph to my dealership.
Reid, Zach, Chrome Pony,
By no means the hottest day of the year that any of us can expect, but at 89 degrees and the google "feels like" 91 degrees at 12:30 in the afternoon yesterday, you can see the gap favoring the driver-side of center on the windshield/cowl cover. Measured at 7/16th of...
Reid,
A roof leak can be addressed any number of ways - some worse to look at than others.. A new home purchased 'with' a leaking roof (by the architect/builder) is very frustrating.
Zach,
I hope that the FOMOCO engineers are looking at the front and rear fastener(s) reaction(s) to the higher temperatures. I will keep everyone posted regarding their findings reported to my local dealer- and my dealer response.
Reid,
After the first replacement installation, and rising temperatures, while still at the dealership, the gap occurred again. The dealership then modified the "first" replacement new cowl cover fastener hole(s) on each side (widened) - to widen the distance (and tighten) the cover at the...
Update: My dealership transmitted a second Technical Hotline request to FoMoCo. I was advised that "Engineering (is) still investigating." (Zach), I'll look at the under-hood fasteners when the base of the windshield side of the cowl cover is at its worst fitment/alignment and let you know.
I began engagement with Ford on this. Their response, the typical VIN, dealer, etc...request. This is their most recent response...and eventually "their" solution came back 360 degrees to the dealer. I'm sure others have complained, and by now, a "recall" would have been known by the members...
