Ford CEO Jim Farley Says Physical Buttons Still Being Figured Out In Ford's survey, 96% of respondents preferred buttons over digital controls. Hallelujah! Maybe there is hope that buttons will make a comeback.

Recalls are issued by the government to correct safety defects and are mandatory. The dealer normally cannot legally refuse to do them. I've had a few recalls over the years and some of them were just inspections to determine if the defect existed on my vehicle while others actually replaced...

The area I live in is very rural, county roads with 45 mph speed limits and stop signs every 2-3 miles.

I can't imagine buying a Bronco Sport for a fleet vehicle given its dismal reliability, especially the running gear.

We don't need to "judge" anything. The OP stated his problem and laid out a few unpalatable options he has for dealing with them. How he got into that situation isn't really relevant when he considers his options. I too am perplexed by the antipathy directed at him.
