I think all modern cars use the battery when the car is just setting. Your warning was probably for that rather than a bad battery. By the time the 23's come out all of these Bronco Sports probably had AGM batteries. My first battery was not an AGM. It waist a lot of power with the constant...

My 21 has just under 30K and the battery had to be replaced at about 20K. My original battery was not an AGM. Ford replaced it without question. I did get some warnings that said the some non essential systems were turned off to conserve battery. Didn't really understand it at the time and...

Two things to consider. 1. Read the Transmission section of the Manual(mine is page 168) to disengge the "manual park release cable" for towing. Read manual first. Prevents ruining the tranny while towing. 2. Last time my battery freaked out I bought a NOCO boost after battery replacement...

When I purchased mine it had a factory hitch installed. I always wondered why Ford didn't make the hitch standard equipment. Normally tongue weight is about 10 percent. Does anyone know if the spec for mobility equipment is better than 200? I will exceed the 200 lb limit if I attach my...

it is a lot quieter than when first notice. I "exercise" it a little in my drive by turning the wheel in a max turn and then switch direction and go back and forth. Seems to help. I hesitate to take it in just to solve this since it might come back worse. No other complaints with this car.

When my lead Acid battery failed I received some warning but didn't quite understand it. I had display warnings that to conserve power they shutting down some of the systems. The next day it failed at the supermarket. My dealer was pretty good about it but said they had to run a series of...

Thanks, my BS seems to be running better and better with age. Noiseless on the road. Great mileage. Handling seems a lot better. I will ask about it at my next servicing. Still under Factory extended warranty.

I think I have always had a grinding problem when turning but on the road there is no problem. I don't think it is transmission but maybe just noisy ball joints.

Don't know about the shifting. I try to turn it off on startup but getting old and I forget a lot. You can get a voltage reader that plugs into the cigarette lighter. I use one in my motorhome. When my battery started going bad I got indication from the display that they were shutting some...

Thanks for the link. But there is no AC outlet on my Big Bend

I have looked at this method before but may void the extended warranty if they catch me. I am considering constructing a dummy connector to the tow plug. That way I can remove it prior to servicing. Some report that if a trailer is attached it won't allow the engine to stall off. Not sure if...

I know there are ways to disable it but I am on extended warranty and messing with the software or hardware may void it. the best one I heard of is plugging a dummy connector into the camper hookup to fool the system that a trailer is attached. But that may wipe out eco mode. Not sure. This...

I had a similar message about a year ago and then a few days later I was stuck. It was the original battery which was not an AGM. After AGM replacement no problems but just to be sure I carry a NOCO with me. Surprised at your mileage. My displayed mileage runs about 25 in town and between 29 to...

My original battery was not marked as an AGM and these vehicles should have one. Haven't had a problem since they changed it out to an AGM. But just in case I carry a NOCO in the car to jump start if necessary. My recall is scheduled next week.

On my iphone I had to uninstall the app and then reload it and sign in. Works now

Big Bend. 4/24/21 3700miles no problems.

We were just out looking and our local Ford dealer had a A51 setting just outside the showroom. Since we bought a new Bronco II when they first come out, we were attracted to it. The next day we decided to test drive it. We are in our 80s so we don't need an off road vehicle and there are...
