  7. 2nd water pump failing

    Just had my Badlands serviced at the dealer yesterday. Talked with the service writer about how many Sports he has seen or written up with bad waterpumps, transmissions or RDU's and he said very few and there are a lot of them on the road. He then said for most people vehicle's are the most...
  8. Used 2025 Badlands

    I have a 2021 Badlands, I don't think I would buy another. I still have an issue with its lack of towing capability, and the 2025's move to having a number of controls being screen based is a deal breaker. they are awkward to use when driving and are a distraction.
  9. Limp mode at start up

    You should be able to get the battery checked for free at most any of the large chain auto parts stores, that would at least answer if the battery voltage is the cause of the problem.

    Get rid of it before the warranty expires.
  13. Right rear shock replacement follow up

    Sad that the original shock failed so early. Good for you to get it taken care of fairly quickly.
  14. I got a 24' BS Badlands as my first car 2 years ago and I'm still trying to convince my friends it was worth it.

    Guess it matters where you live, high school kids in the better neighborhoods get BMW's, WRX s, Toyota Tacoma's etc. I mostly see younger women driving Bronco Sports even though I have one, then again the wife drives it much more than I do, my daughter likes to borrow it as well.

  18. First ever catless downpipe 2.0L Bronco Sport Badlands [ADMIN WARNING: NO DISRESPECTFUL / INSULTING BEHAVIOR]

    Your opening post doesn't mention a tune, just the downpipe I do agree that a tune along with the downpipe can provide great results, I've done it before. A tune alone helps the EcoBoost engines quite a bit. Unfortunately a lot of those mods are illegal in a number of states for street use, so...

    That is the kind of trouble nobody needs. Unfortunately your Sport is now in the mileage range where transmission issues seem to occur for some people. Would you know if the transmission was ever serviced? not like it matters now. As already mentioned, it's likely best to find a reputable...
  20. First ever catless downpipe 2.0L Bronco Sport Badlands [ADMIN WARNING: NO DISRESPECTFUL / INSULTING BEHAVIOR]

    That downpipe is a nice piece if you live in a state with lax emissions regulations. Used to do that kind of stuff a long tme ago, swapping out the catalytic converter with a "test pipe". Doing that alone didn't really provide a performance gain, just more sound which made you think you had...
