  1. After Reading about Issues, Then Paying for Issues, Moving On

    All what you said may be true but our 14' Honda CRV went 257,000 miles with nothing but routine maintenance, tires and a battery. We traded it in for the BS. It's still running just down the road for us. No way our Bronco will come close. We will probably get rid of it sooner than later...
  2. Does the latest water pump revision fix the coolant leak issue for the 1.5L engine?

    Sorry, I do not know the answer. Is the "rev c" preferred?
  3. new PCM update recall?

    My tech just told me this morning there is a PCM recall and ours was done 4 weeks ago.
  4. 2023 BS Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power Message and will not shift into drive

    I believe I asked the tech the last time it was in about the battery and he said it was an AGM. I don’t have It here to look at. We bought the car new in August 2023. Will be checking! This vehicle is driven daily about 40 miles minimum. Bronco going in tomorrow. Tech says he can see it...
  5. 2023 BS Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power Message and will not shift into drive

    Today my wife got a "Pre-collision Alert Not Available" message as she backed out of the driveway. She thought it might have to do with road film on the camera and headed to the car wash. While driving to the car wash the "Powertrain malfunction/reduced power message" flashed up. Also turn...
  6. Does the latest water pump revision fix the coolant leak issue for the 1.5L engine?

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

    Our clunking sound was a worn out sway bar at 35,000. Tech had not seen that before at low miles. No lift kit.
  8. 2nd water pump failing

    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...
  9. 2023 BS Badlands “Shift System Fault” message

    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.
  10. 2023 BS Badlands “Shift System Fault” message

    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.
  13. 2023 BS Badlands “Shift System Fault” message

    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...
  14. 2025 Bronco Sport Badlands - CREAKING SOUND when turning.

    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.
  15. 2nd water pump failing

    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.
