Ha Ha Ford will look into it. I'd laugh it that wasn't so pathetic. I called Ford directly, and they didn't have an answer. The only way I got results was - by starting a spreadsheet, and recording resting voltage, and immediate after driving voltage. This was on a BS that was only 8 months...

VALIDATION - - Makes ya just want to shout it from the rooftops. Great article that supports your conclusions. The Truck results make it actually worth the investment.

It is a hobby. I do this shit too. Hours and hours to research something that the world cares nothing about.

update: I thought about your question after my first response, and had to add this. I don't know and really don't have a way to check whether the alternator is feeding enough amperage to the battery to stay ahead of full charge. I assume it is only because the running voltage at the accessory...

Yep Alternator voltage is fine, the drain comes after the car is shut off, as you've probably observed if you have a BS, or probably any new car. Lights come on when You open the door, and then fans come on in the headlights to cool and supposed flush moisture from the headlight assembly. I've...

I recently had a very unpleasant experience with my local service department when I found an issue with my 8 month old BS, that was finally traced to a faulty battery. I had to bring my BS in three times, and get various excuses about why they couldn't address the issue. I finally called Ford...

From all of the Recalls, and horror stories in general, I don't know how the BS could have "not" made the list. I waited until the 2022 model hoping that a majority of the items would have been resolved, or addressed. I've had three bronco's in my 55 year driving lifetime, and fell in love...

About the same time frame. 8 months/3600 miles. Mine quit, and when I took it into Ford, the first mechanic said it won't activate when it's cold. The temperature was 40F that day, and had been in the seventies or better up to that point. The next mechanic noted that charge was 50% below minimum...

It was only after my third reading of this that it dawned on me that you were talking about the new Fuel injector recall. I read it to my wife and she was in tears laughing. Good One ! ! !

I love my Bronco. First thing I did was get ceramic treatment, and tint the front and side windows, 'BUT _ _ The first thing I had to do on the day I picked it up, was make an appointment to get the FORD PASS software reinstalled. OK minor issue. Next the entire moonroof assembly mysteriously...

Right now - I'd be afraid to take my Bronco Sport down the interstate to visit friends in Florida. With all the horror stories of engines quitting, brakes failing, fuel leaks, etc My Bronco has become a toy that I pull out of the garage for quick trips to the grocery. This was going to probably...

Finding it and reacting instinctively to pushing a little button at the rear of the center console are two vastly different things. I never had to use my emergency brake for an emergency, but having the lever right there not hidden on inconveniently located behind everything in the console and...

Well I feel better now knowing that I'm not the only idiot who was willing to wait only a year for my car. I wonder how many pre-orders there are for the 2033?

After reading all of these comments, it seems obvious to me that the battery, and not some faulty component is causing the low voltage readings, which causes Stop/Start to fail to initiate. I asked this question to someone in a direct response to his post, but hope someone will answer who has...

Soooooooooo - since you have replaced your battery, You will know the answer to this dumb question. Can I replace the battery without Ford Service assistance? Every time I've been into their service department, they claim they've had to reinitialize when they replaced parts. Specifically - the...

My brain said you have to reply to this. My problem may not be related at all, but see what you think. I have a 2022 Bronco Sport OB, and Moonroof quit working in August. I took it in for warranty repair, and - of course - they didn't have parts and told me I could have it back until the parts...

I checked all of those, and suspected right away that it was the battery. One mechanic told me - When it gets cold it doesn't work. I called "Bu##$##T" I took ownership in February which is typically one of the worst winter months, and some times it took a few minutes more for it to start...

Well in November my Ford dealer told me it was too cold. There's a problem somewhere and it doesn't have to do with the weather. Well - I'll qualify that by saying that the manual says if you have your defroster on, it won't work.

I think it's more a case of bad battery. My Stop/start quit working about six months after I got my Bronco Sport OB. I brought it to the dealer, and the first mechanic said "It doesn't work when it's cold. I confronted the Service Dept. Manager, and said that is not right. It seems like the...
