My Ford Bronco

[indio22]

My reaction could have arguably been better or different, but the initial issue was the malfunction that caused the chain of events. But I get it, I'm the same way, skeptical of much of what I see online, so I can't fault you for your opinion.

Was the initial issue that the Bronco did not restart on depressing the clutch?

It cut out, and then would not auto-restart on pressing the clutch, or even restart after pressing the start button, during which time, it had no brakes. I still can't explain it and Ford appeared to not be as concerned as I originally thought they would be.

Did Ford pull any data, or did the dealer just deny?

Bronco sat at the dealer for several months, FMC finally sent someone out, checked the RCM, pulled no real data and refused to check the PCM for some reason. My guess was all the relevant data would have been in that computer. I mean the Ford Pass had a powertrain malfunction at the exact time of the incident, but Ford either could not or would not explain why that happened in detail.

Damn, sorry man, but as I said, glad no one was hurt. Watched a bad clutch Stab on a steep hill in a CJ years ago. Clutch in rocketship backwards. Brought the clutch out in a forward gear all it did was rotate the engine backwards and violently roll 3 times. Both occupants badly scraped and bruised with some other non life-threatening injuries. It could have been much worse but it was bad. He meant to hit the brake and just made a mistake. To my knowledge he never wheeled again.
