  1. safety recall coming

    Although my '25 has the new MPC, aka Dragon B, engine, I park mine outside JIC. Can anyone recommend an interior fire extinguisher and mount for the BS, preferably mounts to the seat bolts or rails without modifications? I've read over on the 6g forum the Element extinguishers are the way to go.
  2. Ford+Alexa app

    I use it all the time. You have to enable the skill using the mobile device app first, which will prompt you to authenticate your FordPass account. It also requires you to set a 4 digit PIN code for certain commands, e.g. remote unlock/start. Once enabled and authenticated, you can use Alexa...
  3. Introducing the New Ford World Headquarters

    Sad day in history. My father worked his entire 37.5 year career in the "Glass House" Will it do anything to improve vehicle quality?
  4. Keyless Entry Keypad - 2025 - Alternate Locaiton

    I've gotten to the point that I can only wear tactical shorts/pants with multiple velcro pockets to carry/secure all the modern [redacted] we have to tote around (phones, keys, wallet, AirPods, multi-tool, holsters, etc.) When I go to the beach, I try to leave most of that secured in the car...
  5. Persistent Oil Leak 2023 BL

    I guess the forum and ford service manual are misformed. https://www.broncosportforum.com/forum/threads/1-5l-drain-plug.17183/#post-271004
  6. Persistent Oil Leak 2023 BL

    What's worse is an auto manufacturer can't design or produce a vehicle that will last 21K miles without having massive oil leaks. My understanding is the plastic oil pan drain plug can be a source of oil leaks. From what I read, some shops will not perform an oil change without replacing the...
  7. My 16 yr. old son hit someone in the rear with his new 2025 OB BS 2025 Cost to repair ???

    Man, I got hand me downs until I bought my first new car after college. Put a bumper sticker on it. 1. Make son get a job to pay for replacement bumper. 2. Buy service manual as a Xmas gift. 3. Make son replace bumper over Xmas break.
  8. Persistent Oil Leak 2023 BL

    When the dealership "resealed" the leaks, did they just smear RTV on the outside? Looks like it's leaking somewhere and blowing back while driving. 1. Clean it off with some degreaser compatible with plastic engine parts 2. Add some UV dye to oil 3. Run engine without driving 4. Use UV light...
  9. Car Wizard Gets a '21 Bronco Sport to Repair

    Or did the dealer the new owner purchased it from know it had problems and sold it as is no warranty, knowing full well the new owner would not notice until the paperwork was signed and driven off the lot. I would be tempted to take the selling dealer to court, but I’m sure they made him sign...

  11. Car Wizard Gets a '21 Bronco Sport to Repair

    Stealerships get paid to sling parts, not to diagnose. That’s how Ford corporate structured dealership reimbursements. You can blame Farley and the other C-Suite executives and BoD.
  12. Car Wizard Gets a '21 Bronco Sport to Repair

    In short, coolant leaking from head, into exhaust and turbo, and destroying the cat. Only 89K miles. Dealer wanted to replace the water pump and radiator before diagnosing the real problem. Dealers get paid to load a parts cannon, not diagnose the real problem.
  13. Started BSBL today to find this warning circus

    Detroit = Salt Belt = Corrosion Numerous simultaneous system faults = likely power/ground problem Look for a loose/rotted out ground
  14. SSM 54138 2024-2025 Various Vehicles - 1.5/2.0/2.3/3.5L EcoBoost

    Great! HP fuel pump leaking gas into the crank case. Quality is Job #1 is a [redacted] punchline. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2025/MC-11021976-0001.pdf Odd it makes no mention of the Bronco Sport, yet it comes up under my VIN search. https://www.ford.com/support/service-information/

  17. New Recall 25S62 released 8/4/25 to dealers for 2024-2025 BS and Escapes with the 1.5L; delivery hold for new vehicles.

    I can see the P/N tag just under the fuel rail on the RHS. I couldn't get my iPhone camera to focus on it. Gave me an excuse to buy an iPhone articulating endoscope camera. Arrives tomorrow. I assume the dealers will use a similar method and charge Ford for the full labor hours to remove...
