You have 169,000 miles on a turbo 1.5L ?? Wow!!! Have you had any issues with the engine, other than maybe a water pump? Did you use 5W-20 oil?

Has anyone replaced their "wet " oil pump belt yet? Mileage? Cost ? HAs anyone put more than 100,000 miles on original belt? Fog

Had transmission fluid drain and fill at my Canadian dealer Sept 30, 2025. 4 L of fluid at $10.25 per and $130 labour ( 1 Hr ) plus env fees. and taxes. No bill for new drain plug.(s) Reusable? I hope. . Fog

I'm with Stircrazy. Mine has been so troublesome I would welcome its demise.

Has anyone had long-term success with Lubegard? Like thousands of miles with no shudder? I am very reluctant to put a non-Ford additive in a vehicle that is still under warranty. Don't want the dealer to void my warranty because I used it. Fog

My '22 BS/OB developed a shudder at very low speed - less than 5 MPH, around 18K miles. Lived with it as I also had a bad RDU . RDU was replaced, shudder still there. Took to dealer for regular service, at 22K miles, so I paid for transmission fluid replacement. I don't drive much so I...

My 2022 BS/OB needed a new RDU at 20K. That appears to be the single clutch version. For that year and possibly up t0 2024 all non Badlands got the single clutch RDU while the Badlands got the dual clutch RDU. I found information that suggests that starting with 2025's, all the BS got the...

If the oil pump belt breaks, it would be interesting to compare cost of new engine, vs. cost for labor and parts to install a new belt. Of course, if the belt breaks under power, that decision may have already been made for you.

I dropped off my '22 BS/OB today to have RDU replaced ( at 20K !!). I got a glimpse of dealer internal paperwork attached to my W/O. It is a sheet for the tech showing the particulars of my BS, and what recalls are pending and done...Top of the list....." replace fuel injectors " when...

I am only dealing with the " service advisor " who insists I am getting a new RDU. I asked what the book repair time was and was told " there isn't one for that job ". I Googled the ? and an AI answer said 4-7 hrs if nothing goes wrong, all the parts are there and the service tech is the...

Just got an appointment for dealer to replace shuddering grinding etc RDU. Dealer says he ordered and received a new RDU to install. And all the parts needed. I asked how long this would take. Ans. 4 hrs. This suggests to me I am not getting a new RDU. Has anyone had a new RDU...

The video shows the coolant tank empty. There is no way to know if the owner just kept refilling it, rather than investigate for what had to be a leak. I watch my tank level closely due to the known water pump failure rate. If the coolant tank level drops and the cause is not obvious, run...

We'll put the Wizard down as " neutral " on his opinion of the quality of the BS. /s Fog

I'm with you Xzavior1818. My 2022 BS is a POS. Worst car I ever owned. Not one redeeming feature. Less than 20K miles and water pump, etc, and now waiting for parts for an RDU replacement. As soon as power train warranty is done, so am I with the car. Foghorn

I have a 2022 BS/OBX, less than 20K miles. I had the RDU vent tube update done, and the tech put in fresh oil at 15K miles. Now I hear a slight thump and shudder when making a slow right hand turn. I took it to dealer, made sure the W/O described the noise and thump and shudder when...
