  1. The perfect BS to me

    Agree. Unfortunately an OBX with the 2.0L is never going to happen. Manufacturers are pushing smaller engines to increase their overall CAFE fuel economy numbers. I probably would have bought an OBX if the 2.0L engine was an option. I also do not need all of the additional off-road upgrades...
  2. Rear hatch dents

    Is the $300 for paintless dent removal? If not, you should ask your dealer about it. My dealer has an outside contractor come in for these repairs once a week. I have seen it work wonders on my car. I have used it on the hood where after parking under a tree acorns dropping left a couple of...
  3. Battery recall ?

    I am assuming you are talking about 25V-019: Description of Remedy Program: Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to have their vehicle inspected for the presence of a Ford Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) 12V battery. If there is not a Ford...
  4. Extended Warranty shopping by known issues?

    At least you still have the powertrain warranty 5yr/60,000. Calling Ford directly was a mistake. There are several Ford dealers that sell the Ford ESP online. Zeigler, Granger, Flood to mention a few. The way you would get a quote online is to put your information in the quote and select the...
  5. Extended Warranty shopping by known issues?

    I got same plan 10/100,000. I doubt I will get to 100,000 miles but wanted the peace of mind. Do you mean that rear shocks were covered under your Premier plan? Just replaced the rear shocks a couple of months ago on my son's 20 Escape. We were told that it is a maintenace item and not covered...
  6. Hood Deflector = Hood Bounce / Flapping

    It was because of your post on another thread that I installed the weatherstripping. Thank you!
  7. Hood Deflector = Hood Bounce / Flapping

    First year before the de-contenting started.
  8. Hood Deflector = Hood Bounce / Flapping

    I added them after reading posts on this forum that mentioned them. Otherwise would never have known they were missing.
  9. Hood Deflector = Hood Bounce / Flapping

    Just guessing but I am betting that being a first edition your BS has the under hood weatherstripping on the sides of the hood. They just snap into the holes along the underside edge of the hood. I do not know what year they were deleted but they were deleted from my BS. I had some questions...
  10. Blower Motor Replacement? Sounds Like a Jet Engine!

    Sorry, I tried researching for videos but came up empty. Hopefully someone on the forum will see your post and will be able to provide the information you need.
  11. Blower Motor Replacement? Sounds Like a Jet Engine!

    Not clear from your post if this a change from how it was operating before which would indicate maybe something wrong with the blower? Mine is a Badlands so might be different. I keep my climate control on auto. If I remember correctly the fan is loud if on high setting like when first...
  12. Installing front license plate holder

    I agree with Wife. BS is brand new. Take it to dealer service dept. They mess it up they fix it. Since they weren't the selling dealer they might want to charge to put the bracket on. I would let them know that you will be bringing the car to them for service. At the very least if they refuse...
  13. Does the '24 Badlands have a hood insulator pad?

    I think this is the part number for the hood insulation. Please verify Hood Insulation Pad Insulator - Front Part #: M1PZ16738B Usage: 10/26/2020, BRONCO SPORT (C430N), With Noise Insulation Pack Section: Insulators - Front My 24 badlands came with the hood insulation but I added the side...
  14. Does the '24 Badlands have a hood insulator pad?

    My 24 Badlands does not have that panel. It was deleted in a previous model year. Here is link to a long thread on the missing panel. anyone-else-missing-the-panel-under-the-dash-above-the-passenger-side-fuse-box-where-the-floor-air-ducts-are.5290 I thought about adding the part but I do not...
  15. May get back into the fold

    Congratulations! Enjoy your new ride :)
  16. May get back into the fold

    No, I lived with sync 4 for 6 months. Just a difference in preferences. I also like using the built in navigation and do not want connected navigation that requires a subscription to use after the trial period.
  17. May get back into the fold

    I know it is personal taste but I prefer my 24 over the 25. After my experience with the 23 Escape I am happy to have the prior version engine since we don't know what might pop up in the future. I also do not like the silver trim but would not be a deal breaker for me either. I am also happy...
  18. May get back into the fold

    I can't say the new engines are better. I had a 23 Escape for about 6 months that had the new 2.0L engine. As far as I know the transmission is still the same. I didn't have a problem with the engine but what ever Ford did to the auto start/stop function caused the transmission to clunk as it...
  19. May get back into the fold

    You can't compare the engines in the 25 model to previous years. The engine has been updated. Also at least according to the 25 order guide only the Badlands comes standard with a full size spare tire. All the other trims come standard with a tire inflator. I believe that the full size spare is...
  20. SSM 53465. Erratic Shift and or Fluid venting - Engine Coolant in Transmission Fluid

    I was reviewing the NHTSA site and came accross this SSM. Has anyone experienced the issues described in this SSM and had to have the repair done? I may have missed it but I do not recall seeing this posted on the forum previously. SSM 53465 2021-2024 Bronco Sport, 2020-2024 (March 4, 2025)...
