I got a non-Ford windshield put on my Transit, figured "how different could it be?" and looking from an angle it has more waves than the Atlantic. Insisted on the Ford glass when my BS windshield got smacked by a rock. The Ford laminated side glass is incredible stuff, some junkie hit it 5-6...

I had been ignoring the 24S24 recall, and an (Ford?) agent texted me trying to schedule an appointment at my dealer. I really don't have half a workday to give them right now, but they were surprisingly persistent. When we finally got it booked I got a call from the dealer's service department...

Mine are same, but fortunately not cutting my fingers like the start button on my wife's VW. She got sliced a couple times before I just peeled all the metal off. The entire shifter bezel of that car got recalled due to the peeling metal. I think they replaced the start button as well, only to...

Try disconnecting the manual park release cable from the top of the transmission. On early '21's it can carry some odd transmission noises into the cabin. 051120 PARKING BRAKE, CONVENTIONAL, MECHANICAL, LINKAGE AND CABLE Dec 06, 2021 - Some 2021 Bronco Sport vehicles may exhibit a hiss or...

Just watch out for that torque steer! You'd think with all the fancy traction control and lane centering tech the BS has, Ford would have found a way to reduce the effect.

I had something similar happen a few days ago, I was in stop-and-go traffic and I heard a pop from the front each time I released the brake pedal. Could feel it in the pedal too. Once I got rolling I never heard it again.

Used to plug my wifi hotspot into the 12V. Not in outside sales anymore so I don't need the hotspot. Never used the 110VAC outlet. Would be handy for backup power in an outage, but I don't think 400W is enough to start my refrigerator compressor.

I can't find any posts about failed sensors, other than one that was chewed by rodents and a bent crank sensor (which resulted in engine replacement!?). Not to say it's impossible that your sensor is defective, but it does give me the idea they may be barking up the wrong tree. I'd get a...

That sucks. If it's out of warranty you will probably have better luck at an independent mechanic closer to home, and might cost less in the long run.

That's unsettling for sure. Any signs of contamination in the coolant or the oil?

Do you have any other dealers nearby? Service departments can vary wildly from one dealer to the next. Many of them are flat-out incompetent. Your dealer's backlog may be because their technicians keep quitting. I had an odd noise in my Transit, and my nearest dealer spent weeks screwing around...

Mine will go weeks without activating, and I don't miss it. Then one day it will start working again, usually after a long drive, but sometimes not. Who knows the rhyme or reason. I used to get really annoyed and try to remember to turn it off when I start the motor, but I finally gave up and...

The chrome on my window buttons is also peeling and a bit sharp, but not to the point of cutting anyone. My wife's 2015 VW had a really bad peeling issue on the center console, we both cut our fingers. Shortly afterwards we got a recall notice and they replaced the trim for free.

It's not a problem I've heard of before and was likely caused by the mechanic. They probably damaged a wire or unplugged a connector.

That's the worst widdle wadder.

Looks like the perp is a skier. Did you happen to leave a bottle of Jagermeister in the car? Seriously though, they were probably trying to hotwire it, although I don't think that's possible anymore without some sophisticated electronics. Do the connectors fit back together?

The good news is that it's not horribly expensive to replace the turbo on the BS. Looks like it's about $1,500 all in. If the engine and transmission keep going to 150k+ I'd say you're doing alright. I'm at 45,000 miles and have had no problems beyond a noisy park release cable.

What happened to our IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating?

There's a button on the key fob to open the rear hatch door...maybe all Bronco Sports don't have this button? Just click and push the door open with your feet.

I didn't even realize that was a thing! VW's and Audi's I've had seem to do this automatically when you start the car, but how it knows what level is when I'm parked on a sloped driveway is a mystery. I leave my "fog" lights on, the low ones at the bottom of the bumper. They cut off on the...
