  1. Unsolved Mysteries of the BS Electrical system - Battery(?)

    Well for today -maybe. Ummmm - I hope this doesn't sound too dramatic, but I got stupid when I saw the Bronco Sport the first time. I had to have it. I kicked aside all the red flags and common sense that tells you to never buy a vehicle in its first production year. I didn't do any real...
  2. Unsolved Mysteries of the BS Electrical system - Battery(?)

    I sound like I'm a graduate of Drama school every time I post one of these notes, so I guess I'll continue. WOW ! ! ! I mean ""W"O"W" ! ! ! I just watched the video of the drain hose installation. See posting "Picture of the installed tray(?) for fuel drainage. I'll run with this for a...
  3. Unsolved Mysteries of the BS Electrical system - Battery(?)

    OK - so I overreacted. Now - has anyone who has had the recall completed noticed what I wrote about? I figured it was a long shot, since monitoring your voltage is not a common practice. I went to my service department manager first, and I didn't really expect that he would have heard of it...
  4. Unsolved Mysteries of the BS Electrical system - Battery(?)

    I agree 100% Security is a fantasy, but as much as possible, I try to avoid anything that doesn't sound right, and requiring my phone number and email address on top of the other information was excessive to just ask the question. Is this OK or is it an issue?
  5. Unsolved Mysteries of the BS Electrical system - Battery(?)

    I'm not going to call this a warning. It's more of a heads up for anyone who is thinking about letting these guys that call themselves Ford Motor Company Reps. As soon as I clicked the chat link, I got a SCAM warning, but I decided to take a chance and send them the information they asked for. I...
  6. Unsolved Mysteries of the BS Electrical system - Battery(?)

    Who do I contact? I certainly don't want to post my VIN #, or any other personal info other than what my profile shows on this forum.
  7. Unsolved Mysteries of the BS Electrical system - Battery(?)

    Really ? ? ? Don't Overthink it ? ? ? Did you bother to read my entire post, before jumping on one word, and coming up with Don't overthink it. Readings were consistent, and right where you'd expect to see them prior to the injector Recall and subsequent Programming update. Now it does...
  8. Unsolved Mysteries of the BS Electrical system - Battery(?)

    Well - I recently got the Recall completed for the Fuel Injector issue, along with a computer update. I mention this because the day after the update, I noticed a new mystery regarding the new battery they had to put in after only 8 months of ownership. While I was trying to convince Ford that...
  9. The recall for Cracked injectors and computer update.

    Sounds like BS to me. Ha - just realized BS is - well - I guess it's appropriate. I'd say it's more likely that they've got a stack of 50 requisitions for the recall parts and are only getting two a week. That's what the parts manager told me when I called to ask about my recall status. I'm...
  10. The recall for Cracked injectors and computer update.

    Sorry - I did jump to the wrong conclusion on that. Oh - and thankfully he was right about the limp assumption. After thinking about it, it could be very bad if you blew an injector and the car shut down while you were in traffic.
  11. The recall for Cracked injectors and computer update.

    Perfect ? - we'll thank you very much. He pretty much repeated exactly what my original post said - - - except - - - I didn't assume the engine went into limp mode or that limp mode would even be a wise choice when an injector is spewing gas at minimally 1200 squirts per minute. I do think the...
  12. The recall for Cracked injectors and computer update.

    I brought my BSOB in for the recall for faulty injectors and Programming (Recall: 22S73PCM PROGRAMMING AND DRAIN TUBE) Comment #1 - REALLY ! ! ! A drain tube to run the gas onto the floor of your garage when the injector fails ? ? OK - I guess there's a precedent, since I saw someone mention...
  13. Trouble free mileage?

    Before I even drove it off the lot couldn't connect to Ford app and had to schedule a service date. A month later moon roof quit working, six months - new battery. Other than that it's been perfect, except for that day it wouldn't move when I put it in gear until something snapped or popped...
  14. Auto Stop / Start not working

    I agree 1000%. Four visits during which I got every excuse they could make up, and even after I contacted Corporate Customer Support, they still "couldn't" replace the battery because it checked out on the first stage (whatever that is). It was only luck that a specialist had been brought in to...
  15. Auto Stop / Start not working

    After four visits to my local Ford service center, a highly trained expert who had been called in on another issue told the mechanic working on my BSOB to run the second level battery test. At that point they finally decided that the battery was failing. Unfortunately that is not the end of the...
  16. Full size spare

    Ha - I would do two Ha's but that would be impolite. a zero in quotation marks is a statement that they offered nothing. They said they wouldn't take it - period. AND - if you think you don't pay for the spare when you get the towing package, ummm, never mind. Well - I'll say this. I could...
  17. White Big Bend model has almost invisible BRONCO SPORT logo on rear hatch door. A can of Matte Black Plasti Dip really dresses it up nicely.

    I would have left it white. I'm actually thinking about getting someone to paint the lettering on mine the same color as my Bronco. To me - it just looks too much like an advertisement. Different strokes for different folks. You did a great job on yours. It looks like it could have come...
  18. Bronco Sport gas mileage

    First of all OMG - a new engine already ! ! ! ! I swear when I get that injector recall done and show no current recalls, I'm going to try to unload it before the next one, or before it burns my house downn. Now - as to MPG. I'm that crazy person that keeps the MPG gauge displayed all the time...
  19. Full size spare

    I think I stated this inmy original post, and someone else also pointed out that it is NOT the same size. The BSOB has 18 inch wheels, and obviously i8 inch tires. The spare is a non matching 17 inch wheel, and I imagine even with your specialized tire mounting equipment, you wouldn't try to...
