It can not be a coincidence that the same day my battery failing forced me to roll to a stop on the access road shoulder and stay there until i got a jump, Then within 2 miles of the spot I got it jumped, The engine starts smoking, the turbo failed sending metal throughout and totaling engine...
I would have loved that warning. Right after 70k my turbo seized up apparently and the oil pressure blew through the turbo, as I limped home just 2 miles the low oil pressure came on. Buy the extended warranty, or if your bank offers protection, just to be safe. I was not safe.
I agree, I loved my Bronco, I will love it if I can figure out how to bring it back to life. ten years from now this is where you will come to fix the little things that people have experience with, we should understand that those of us with one out of commission right now, the forums are the...
That was just fine, It is good to hear other issues. Please, everyone that reads theses threads, please know that I was absolutely loving my Bronco Sport. I think they are great, almost hitting some place very near my passion for old land rover defenders. I am rebuilding an 88 right now, bur...
If there is a single thread for all BS owners dealing with turbo issues, now, in the past or in the future, please direct me to it. If not, I would like to get everyone with turbo issues under one umbrella. My turbo left metal in the engine and engine needs replaced. If we all have turbo...
I am definitely in the same boat, maybe we are the pioneers into the 60-70k mile frontier for the turbos. Warranty or not, the turbo failing and destroying the entire engine is not common in the world we drive in. they think my prop seized and the oil built up till it blew out.
I have owned...
Just an update on my failed turbo. It is amazing how many people in the service industry (auto) have this attitude that our expectations of quality should end because the warranty has expired. Lady, I understand the warranty is up, this is not supposed to happen to any new vehicle at the 70k...
For Ford's sake I really hope that not all the turbo's seize up around the 65-75 k mark! That will not be good. I hope they can help in some form or fashion, This is the exact opposite of why I even bought a newer car.
And that would be my advice to any and all buying a Sport period. Hindsite now, I have always jsut taken really good care and nothing major has ever happened. Onc3 the repairts start getting more frequent etc....I look at trading, complete engine replacment at 74k miles, not expecting that.
I just experienced a turbo failure when the prop seized up and oil pressure built up until it blew oil through the system and out the exhaust and in the shoert 2-3 miles limping home to have it towed to the dealership, complete engine failure, i have 74000 miles on it. Never got an extended...
