It shouldn't happen...but it does. It's not Ford, it's not the Bronco...so much electrical, crap goes wrong. I've had similar issues in other vehicles. Sorry you were left for "dead" that's not a pleasant feeling. One of my vehicles did something similar while I was driving. It was a bad alternator. Lost all power and somehow coasted into a parking lot. It was a brick.
But is was, an is, the Bronco.
It's issues like this that cause me heartburn. Heading out to Northern NM soon and will be in some places that I wouldn't want to walk out off and wouldn't want to pay a tow bill. Reliability is paramount in a vehicle designed to take off road.
I remember working in Amarillo and driving to Los Alamos late one summer evening several years back. At Clines Corner, I took that desolate desert road to Santa Fe and didn't see another car for hours. I wouldn't want to break down there, lots of snakes basking on the warm roadbed near dusk.
Your last 3 vehicles never had a repair?...You must not keep them long. Every Model of car can have something go wrong? Should have kept them then. Can you tell me of any product in existence that is absolutely perfect? SMH
The Ford Sync system has had problems since day one and still does. An issue that ford needs to resolve, and definitely should have put the latest version on a new model. All vehicles are more reliable than ever. Ford has had enough problems with the Bronco rollouts without having vehicles completely fail and leave people stranded. Doesn't inspire folks thinking about a purchase.
My advice...don't buy a Ford. Don't buy a Bronco. Buy something else which is guaranteed 100% reliable. Dude. It's a car. It has millions of mechanical factors happening every time you start the vehicle. Repairs and failures suck. But be real...it happens and even to YOUR point, suppliers etc. Human made, human fail. Hopefully Ford can make it right. Sometimes you just buy a lemon.
There is repair and there's having a totally dead vehicle with 900 miles on it. There is a world of gray between perfect and dead.
I agree there is a difference but if say it happens to be a bad alternator...it happens. FCA/STELANTIS ETC had an entire line of alternators go bad. Recalled some 10K vehicles...this so far is one sucky incident. Tell me anything you want...you buy a year one vehicle it is bound to have lingering things pop up. This is not a rebadged escape. And they log thousands of miles at Michigan speedway putting them through the paces (one site, they may use others I've just been there when they do. One car after another laps ad nauseum. It's still not the same as your daily drive). Recalls happen across the industry with long lineage cars. Should this happen? No...does it? Yep. Some of y'all may wanna consider Amish horse and buggy.
Saw one of those on the side of the road swapping out the wheel a while back. Is 2021 model any better I wonder?
