Hi there. I brought this up with the service mgr and he said to use 91 octane... that the heat affects the hesitation with power octane... for some reason. So now I use 91 and don't have the same problems with accelerating. It's extremely hot where I am now, so that might be it - just another...

Yesterday, while driving home on a straight road at about 45, all of a sudden the BS had this big "hiccup" or stutter. Almost like the fuel injectors decided to skip a few beats or something - I'm not a mechanic. About 30 seconds later it happened again. Haven't drive today but will test later...

I have an Outer Banks. 4000 miles. No off-road. Perfect. Will sell for 45k. Oops... forgot about the 6 year warranty. Make it 47K.

I have the OB 1.5. My main complaint is the lack of power. Yesterday, in 112 degree heat, taking off from a traffic light was utterly frustrating. Hitting the gas did literally NOTHING for 4-5 seconds. Then the car starts to move, then ramps up speed like a switch was just turned on, all the...

Very nice. I just made this one yesterday. Maybe should have put it where you did.

Made this yesterday. Think it looks pretty cool.

Sorry I didn't get the adaptive cruise. I thought it was included with my OB trim, but sadly, an upgrade I didn't get. I think maybe you have to get the whole Bose upgrade to get the adaptive cruise - not sure.

Had a long chat with the Bronco "guy" at the Ford dealer yesterday, asking about the power issues, the shifting, engine life, etc. Among other things, he said since my delivery Dec 24th - their first - they've only had one Sport in for service and that was a cracked screen which wasn't a service...

We were coming back from a short trip the other day and while going 75 on the interstate, came to a rather mild uphill climb. The BS went from 75 to 60 in a matter of a few seconds. I pressed the accelerator and nothing. Pressed harder and it finally shifted and got back up to speed. The car has...

I have almost the same issue, but might be a bit different. When I'm rolling to a stop, and the car is downshifting to 1st or 2nd, I get this shudder - like the braking and downshifting are competing with each other for a second. Haven't been to the dealer, but might have to do that.

I got my Outer Banks Christmas Eve. Have about 3,000 miles on it. Love the car, but have a couple of concerns, more than complaints. The two "problems" I have are 1- the power. Pick up is really poor unless you floor it. It's better in Sport mode, for sure, so I tend to use that a lot. 2 - the...
