  1. Low Coolant level on 2024 Badlands 2.0

    Yes, the 2.0L EcoBoost engine in the Ford Bronco Sport (2021–2025) is equipped with an EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) cooler . This component is part of the emission system, designed to cool exhaust gases before they are recirculated back into the engine, and utilizes OEM part number...
  2. Limp mode at start up

    Yes, get the battery checked. How much are you driving each day? Especially in the cold weather, If you are only taking short trips you may not be driving enough to charge the battery. A quick google search mentions faulty thermostat stuck closed in the cold weather causing low coolant. Also...
  3. Knit lines on door post.

    I know I have OCD and stress over a lot of things with my cars. Here is a picture from my BS. I can see the lines while driving but I have to really look for it and the lines are barely visible. It is just the way the plastic is molded. For me I think the camera really brings out the lines and...
  4. How do I program a (third) bronco sport key fob?

    I am almost positive that a Ford Dealer can create a second key fob if only one is available but if they can it will be expensive. I paid over $600 for a third key fob when I purchased my BS new. This included cutting the emergency key. I like to have the third key as a service key to give to...
  5. Steel oil pan

    Did you mean the front skid plate under the engine? Yes, they are metal. I have never seen the oil pan as the dealer does my oil changes.
  6. 5 button key fob ‘25 big bend

    164-R8412 looks like the correct Key Fob for 25 BS. It includes a blank emergency key that needs to be cut. Check with your dealer for confirmation that it will work. The Key Fob OP mentioned is not what came with my 24 Bronco Sport. Bronco's come with a 4 button key fob that does not...
  7. How to turn off auto heated seats

    If your car did not come with an owners manual book Luckily Ford still has a pdf version of the owners manual for 2025. Link: 2025. Instructions for remote start settings are o page 104 of the manual.
  8. Special Field Action 25L02

    California Emissions warranty is stronger than the standard manufacturer warranty. What this notice refers to is there are certain states that follow the California Emissions warranty and Ford is required to follow the California Emission warranty for owners that live in those states. I believe...
  9. 360 Cameras

    As always take AI with a grain of salt. Per 2025 order guide. 360 camera not available on Big Bend. Included with Tech Package on OBX. Sasquatch package requires also taking Tech Package so would be included if you have Sasquatch Package on OBX. Standard on Badlands. 360 camera included with...
  10. 50,000km and the transmission is cooked

    I have taken out the 10 year/100,000 mile warranty on the BS and my 25 Escape. Bought them both online so got them both at the lowest price available. Actually happy that Ford offers warranties with that length of time and mileage, especially since I plan to keep my cars for at least a few...
  11. 50,000km and the transmission is cooked

    So torque convertor or transmission or both? Either way while not good at least you said it was covered under powertrain warranty. How long do you plan on keeping your Bronco Sport? I would think replacing (I am assuming remanufactured) the transmission would be better for the long term. You...
  12. Ford Trying to Figure Out Buttons

    I use voice command to make calls and it is not always straight forward so I do not bother with other commands. Even just trying to make a call using voice command I find myself having to repeat the voice command and sync coming back and asking me if I want to call X and asking me to respond yes...
  13. Ford Trying to Figure Out Buttons

    This was a subject that came up before the 25 Bronco Sports came out with sync 4 and the larger screen. You could search the forum (see below for one thread) and the internet for pros and cons of loosing the buttons for larger screens. On my previous searching I have found that there are some...
  14. Drained my batteriy

    Did you have the PCM/BCM recall 24V267 done to update the PCM/BCM software to fix Loss of Drive Power from Undetected Low Battery.
  15. Drained my batteriy

    Did you check Ford pass for messages? I would think the message about battery saver mode would show up in the app and you will be able to show the dealer. Also did you check with the dealer regarding any service history before you purchased it? Maybe the issue surfaced before you bought it...
