I am just a few weeks away from the 1yr anniversary of my 2025 Bronco Sport Big Bend. I have 10,700 miles on it. Averaging 30mpg in mixed driving. 35mpg on all highway trips. Only recall has been for the instrument cluster. It is going in tomorrow for oil change #2.
I am thoroughly pleased with...
Put the $3,000 you would pay for the warranty in a high yield savings account. Throw another $50 per month in there. Use that to pay for any out-of-pocket repairs that may come up. After 10 years if you didn't need to touch it, you will have almost $11,000 in there. Use some of it to help with...
It means there is a fault with the Blind Spot Monitoring system and the system is not currently active (or it has been turned off by the driver.)
See page 95 of the owner's manual.
might be under the cruise control menu...then you would want to activate the intelligent mode to be able to set the tolerances for the speed limit recognition
I'm guessing they have tracked it down to a specific worker that has been incorrectly assembling these components and they are able to determine exactly when the person worked and which VINs passed through that person's station. The scary part is that it took 5 years to determine the issue.
No negative equity and a minimal loan on the Bronco Sport that will be paid off in the next 2 months. Traded in a 10yr old vehicle that had already been paid off for over 5 years. Plan to keep the Bronco Sport for 10 years as well and then move on to the next vehicle in 2036.
No issues with my 1.5L '25 Bronco Sport. More than enough power for virtually any driving scenario. My previous vehicle had a 300hp V6, and I had concerns that the 1.5L 3cyl would not be sufficient, but it has proven itself to be just as capable as the V6. Not to mention the fuel economy is...
I am 6'4" and my girlfriend is 5'2". We both find my Bronco Sport to be comfortable on road trips. Would I want to go more than 3-4 hours without stopping and stretching my legs? No. 10 hours in a Bronco Sport would be brutal without a few breaks along the way (more than just a 10 minute fuel...
California problems are, well, uniquely California problems. California is hardly a barometer for the country as a whole. Glad I no longer live there and never plan to go back.
Inflation peaked at 9.1% under Biden. It leveled out to around 3% by the time he left, so being at 3.3% now is really...
On the 2025+ it is in the lower left corner of the cluster under the tach...I rarely ever look at the PRNDM indicator. I look at it more to confirm I am actually in Park before shutting the car down more than anything else.
I looked at the RAV4 and the CR-V when I was shopping. The RAV4 was incredibly uncomfortable and the CR-V just seemed a bit boring. I loved my Bronco Sport as soon as I test drove it. It may not be in the Top 5 in my state, but there are certainly more and more of them showing up on the roads!
The Motorcraft branded injectors are readily available from online parts sites such as Rock Auto. Not sure why Ford dealers wouldn't be able to get the injectors.
With all of the issues in the '21-'24 models with the water pump, I would probably be inclined to just go with an aftermarket water pump. Gates offers one for the 1.5L with a limited lifetime warranty for around $30 for the part. The Motorcraft pump is well over $150 and only offers a 24 month...
Rock Auto has the same Litens part for $44
The pulleys for the 1.5L and the 2.0L are not the same. They are both 52mm outside diameter, however the pulley for the 1.5L is wider.
