  1. Why did you choose a Bronco Sport?

    I see tons of Sports on the road these days…. While I do worry about the longevity of the 3-banger, it’s been a solid vehicle so far. Speaking of older cars… My wife drives a ā€˜07 Tahoe we’ve had since new. It’s got 321k miles on it. A couple of small issues (a tear in 1 seat and a wonky...
  2. Why did you choose a Bronco Sport?

    2023 Bronco Sport Heritage trim Needed a new vehicle right away (2011 GTi, blew a rear main). Several other items (new headliner among them) added up to a big number to repair a 12 yr old car with nearly 150k miles - no thanks. I wanted: Something on the dealers lot AWD 4-door SUV style...
  3. Wireless charging

    Have to agree. It’s a pretty Mickey Mouse charging setup, especially for newer phones with the bump out on the case to accommodate the camera. I did change from an Apple case to a Caudabe brand case and it is a bit better. YMMV.
  4. 2025 Bronco Sport gets new engine

    Let’s hope so… Ford needs to stop the bleeding and reduce warranty claims below the estimated $25 million per DAY, across all platforms so, let’s hope the new MPC architecture is a step in the right direction
  5. Bronco Sport got Whacked

    Oh, man…. Bummer. So sorry for your trouble. Hope it’s a speedy and stress free repair for you.
  6. What MPG and Range can we expect on the Bronco Sport?

    I also have a Bronco Sport in Heritage trim with the 1.5l 3-banger in it. I've never come close to that mileage on an extended trip and i really don't get on it that hard... I had a 4+ hour trip late summer. Eco mode... drove it with a very soft pedal, in an attempt to see what sort of...
  7. Key fob insanity!

    Yep... tried both... same situatoin... i just have to modify my standard practice which, after almost 45 years of driving should be close to impossible ?
  8. Key fob insanity!

    Oh definitely not.... i like 'em "roomy"
  9. Key fob insanity!

    Don't know about anyone else but the alarm button on the key fob for my BS is SO sensitive that i find the alarm going off all the time just while it is riding around in a front pocket! Home, work, out to a restaurant.... the dang thing keeps going off on me. Honestly, i'd like to throw the...
  10. FordPass Complaint

    First off... i sort of dislike tech and truly despise (mostly) the direction it is headed, but put up with it. It's just a more sophisticated snake oil pitch, as far as i'm concerned. If Ford wants to track my location or send me ads based on my location, good luck. I'm not worth tracking...
  11. REALLY?

    oh, this advertising thing will likely happen, and when it does, they'll probably crank the volume up several decibels over what you're already listening to, like they do with television ads. And that will drive me nuts. I'd probably pay extra for a television that would compensate for the...
  12. FORD EV'S

    With building a traditional highway in the US currently costing between $5 million and $10 million per mile, i can only imagine what this would cost the taxpayers....
  13. Screen went blank, still have radio??

    In a pinch, you can use the controls on the steering wheel to operate the radio. It’s inconvenient as can be, but it worked for me for about a week, until my dealer could do the synch update when they handled a recent recall.
  14. Post recall software update blues

    Agreed. At initial startup of the vehicle the first "click" activates the dashboard graphic display for mode selection. It always starts on Standard Mode... 2 additional clicks to get to Sport mode Once driving, i'm not sure where the display lands. I'm assuming it highlights the mode you...
  15. Sasquatch Bronco Sport Teased by Ford - 8/26 Reveal!

    Agreed. Besides from a factory lift and a bit larger tire as standard equipment, I'm guessing a boatload of cosmetic bells and whistles? I'm not sure what they can add to the BS that will make any substantial difference if using the same transmission, which seems to be one of the... let's...
  16. Center console finish

    You can say that again. Your console mod looks good.
  17. Center console finish

    I’m in the molding biz and understand that painted surfaces can be more easily matched for consistency but, at the expense of durability seems surprising. I guess I had expected a bit more durability. I’m very easy on my BS and did not expect to see this sort of wear. Live and learn. Nothing...
  18. Center console finish

    So, is the center console painted over plastic? I usually keep a set of keys in one of the cup holders and it appears that the top edges of the cup holders are scratching off and showing white beneath. ? It’s not like I throw the keys at the cup holder, I simply drop them in when I have...
  19. Ford service shop/ 2nd water pump 43k

    THIS ^^^ I had read the same. Leftover sand, from the casting process, getting sucked through the water pump is ridiculous. Who knows what other havoc this may be causing...
