Thanks. The dealer was trying to sell me a 2024 “curiosity” vehicle with 2500 miles. We all know the scam of “curiosity” vehicles. I said I read there were too many issues with the older model year engines and wanted a 2025 with the newer MPC engine after reading this forum. Also comes with Sync 4A
Previous engines did not suffer from intake valve fouling. What "other" problems are you referring to?

I'm not inclined to accept a law firm that specializes in suing car manufacturers as an authority. That said, just about every engine ever made has had problems in these areas. It's the frequency that matters. The only problems on that list that I've seen more than one post about here on the site is the water pump and coolant leaks, but I would consider these to be the same.
I am hoping the 2025 MPC does it suffer from the problems Ford is currently facing recalls and several class action lawsuits. X-plan with an ultra low mileage lease. If it turns out to be reliable I can always buy it. Otherwise, I can walk away and get a new vehicle.
It's true that Ford has issued several recalls for this vehicle and engine. So far as I know, the NHTSA is satisfied with all of them other than the one involving the drain tube for fuel leaks in the engine compartment. Some have speculated the root cause of that problem is faulty fuel injectors, but that has not yet been determined. It's entirely possible the NHTSA may find that to be the case. Other than that, all other engine-related recalls have been effective. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
I genuinely appreciate the knowledge bank so graciously shared by Mark and the other experts. The Bronco Sport is my largest lump some payment and I want to enjoy it while the fear mongers are rattling nonsense.
Conversely, there are some people on the forum that that have nothing positive to add, just coming here to continually bash the product every chance they get. Cheers!
Your links go to forums like this one, where the voices of those experiencing problems are amplified out of proportion to the actual numbers. All production products have issues. To evaluate claims of inherent design flaws requires looking at the big picture. Where is the data?
Similar here. My early 2022 has been flawless. I know it moans on occasion when backing up first thing in the morning. Well, so do I! It also has several recalls for the battery, the BCM update and now a seat belt buckle. Mine still starts fine after three years. It has the EFB so I’m hoping I get a new battery out of it but if not? Oh well.
as per usual I suspect they fixed issues before the 23 models were built. the only recall my 23 has had was the body control module. none of the others that you see commonly apply to mine.
