We had our 3rd water pump installed at about 35,0000 miles. No reason to believe it won’t happen again.

Our clunking sound was a worn out sway bar at 35,000. Tech had not seen that before at low miles. No lift kit.

I did ask the tech last week if the coolant system was being flushed each time they replaced the water pump? Yes it is. Our Bronco was being checked over after a “Shift Fault” message popped up 3 times on one 165 mile drive. Turns out it was a software update issue. He was going to charge me...

No lift kit. Sway bar was replaced.. We bought it new in August 2023. I will take a look. I’ve read a loose battery cable or weak battery can cause those messages.

23’ Big Bend sound better? My apologies.

1.5 engine and all of the above are correct. Yes, 23’ and all issues listed are correct.

47,000 miles on our 23’ BS Badlands and a “Shift System Fault” message came up 3 times after about 140 into a 165 Mile trip for my wife this week. “Service immediately “ also popped up. I immediately looked at my Alerts and it didn’t show up! I called our service dept. and he could not locate...

Our 23 was making a creaking sound going over bumps and slow turns. Turned out to be a bad sway bar (bushing?) covered by our extended warranty at 37,000 miles.

I’ll keep the Forum posted! The vehicle never leaves the highway, so no, we haven't done anything to damage it. The mechanic couldn't explain it either.

The tech just told me one sway-bar.

We were noticing a clunking sound when going over a bump or turning.

There is no noticeable leakage under the vehicle. Tech said they "knew where to look."

1.5 L eco-boost. Tech said it's becoming a common problem. I believe it was one complete sway bar. I'm assuming the bushings were what wore out.

During a routine oil change on our 23 Sport my tech told our second water pump is starting to leak. First water pump was replaced at 10,000. Second one is going bad at 45,000 miles. Warranty will cover it but that’s beside the point. So far: water pump failures, sway bar and both rear shocks...
