This is a horrible deal. All sorts of BS added into the cost. I have extensive experience administering factory lease programs. There is no advantage to a lease if you can't write it off as a business expense. Dealers hook you with the low payment, but it's still bad deal. Leases nowadays...
Sometimes when I see service histories like yours I wonder if the dealers replacing things just for a profit. I'd try to retail this unit and get another.
For a part to have an acceptable failure rate, it needs to be exponentially lower thand "the vast majority is good." Lot of people on this board have complained about battery failures from the day BS was introduced.
Another Ford Authority article on the 2025 reports the rear will have tow hooks. 2025 Ford Bronco Sport May Get Rear Tow Hooks: Photos (fordauthority.com) A nice touch. I will never tow anything with my BL, but ordered a trailer hitch as recovery point.
I drive my 23 BL daily, so should be sufficiantly charged. The mobil tech said my battery tested a little low and placed a charger on it before the updates.
Lil Green Bronco at a bridge over the RioGrande in Taos County NM. The pavement ends here and you begin the dirt climb to the top of the Gorge. The farther north you go, the deeper and more narrow The gorge becomes. The Taos bridge is about ten miles upstream. Prime bighorn country.

No comments of anyone having a problem after the update, so seems to be good now. I had mine done about three weeks ago prior to a trip to northern New Mexico where I knew I'd be several miles from help if I had a problem.. Since I first got my 21 BL I've been nervous about the electrics...
I agree, although I wouldn't own one of the gutless and unreliable 1.5L. Ford seems to have positioned the BS as a low cost SUV. Given that and their fuel mileage mandates I suspect the 1.5 will remain the base engine. I think if they offered the 2.0 and it's drive train as an option on all...
Woody Ford's mobil tech came by our house yesterday and did the update on my 23 BL. Haven't driven much since then, but appears fine. He checked my battery voltage before beginning and said it was a bit low. Put a charger on it while he did the update. My BL is driven daily, shouldn't have...
My dealer Woody Ford in Madill, OK is about 80 miles away, but they are going to have a mobile tech in OKC on Monday and will stop in Norman and do my update. Can't say enough about this small town dealer. They are a big-time fleet dealer and won't miss a sale over price. No high pressure...

Not much different except skid plates. Shouldn't be long until there are more details.
