I've got a '21 Outer Banks and I consistently get between 28-32mpg. The only time I go under 28 mpg is in winter. So yeah, something wrong with your Bronco. How many miles on it?

I've changed my rear pads without using Maintenance Mode and had no problems. You can also disconnect the battery if you want to avoid the Maintenance Mode aspect. NOTE: I put my '21 Bronco Sport in maintenance mode once and couldn't get it to revert back to normal mode. I had to take it to...

I just saw this online - have not tested it but seems plausible: Sport G.O.A.T. Mode: If your Bronco is equipped with selectable driving modes, shifting it into Sport mode automatically deactivates the Auto Start/Stop But it still causes you to make a selection upon start up (selecting...

No spare tire? My '21 OB came with a spare. Is that something that Ford did away with recently?

UPDATE Quick follow-up since I had a chance to get it properly diagnosed. Even though I initially suspected a rear wheel bearing, I started second-guessing myself since there was zero play with the wheels off the ground. Decided to take it in for a professional check—shop put it on a lift, ran...

2021 Bronco Sport Outer Banks 105,000 miles Newish tires (6mths and 6k miles old) Recently noticed a mechanical noise and vibration from the rear end — not road noise. It seems loudest around 30 mph and changes with speed. With 105k miles on the clock, I figured classic wheel bearing...

Yep - it was the brake light bulb. Thank you everyone. In my last Ford, when the brake light went out it would flash BRAKE on the dash when stepping on the brake. I never expected that the turn signal would indicate a brake bulb. But makes sense, I guess. Oh, and I thought all the lights...

This seems like it should have an easy answer / explanation: Back before LED - when the turn signal inside the cockpit started flashing quicker it was an indication that one of the bulbs was burned out (either the front or rear). On my '21 Bronco OB, when turning on the RIGHT signal it is...

Sorry, that was 2yrs ago - I don't remember exactly what they replaced. But yes, at the time I was doing a lot of off road driving (22km each way once a week up in remote Canada down a two-track sandy road)

Quick update: I ordered the Purge valve. But lately it has been firing up normally. If I get another rough start I'll go ahead and change the Purge Valve. Side note: Way back when it was still under warranty, the Dealer had it in for almost a week trying to repair / cure the EVAP codes it...

I was thinking to change the plugs when I do the Purge valve that THOMASM23 mentioned above. Thanks.

I did just take it in for the Battery Recall. They didn't replace the battery - I think it was just recalibration on how it measures battery health. I usually (proactively / preventively) change batteries at 4 or 5yrs. Its cheap insurance vs having to pay for a tow or jump. All that said, I...

2021 BS Outer Banks w/ 93k miles. Lately it's been hard to start. I press the ignition button and it will crank for 10 seconds or so before firing up. Does not happen all the time, but seems to be getting more frequent. I was thinking to run some Seafoam through it (both a fuel tank additive...

This might be a dumb question: But I assume you've rebooted (turned the Bronco off, and back on) at some point?

Wanna hear something hilarious? I did the rear brakes yesterday. This time around I couldn't get the damn thing into Brake Maintenance Mode!! WTH... I just gave up on the whole maintenance mode thing. Pulled the rear tires off and disconnected the electronic brakes. Did the job...

Quick question - is there also an updated procedure to ENTER maintenance mode? Or let me ask it another way, will this updated procedure to EXIT maintenance mode still work no matter how you enter maintenance mode? I know it is a detailed question. But I'm going to try this procedure (again)...

Ditto - WoW, thank you!

I had a breakdown recently (with my BS Outer Banks) because the little bastards ate through my Crank Case Sensor wires! The BS went into 'Safe' mode and would only go 20mph.

$582 to replace the vent tube??? Efff that! I did the fluid change for about $120 and that took care of my RDU problems. I'll probably start doing a fluid change about every 30k or 40k miles to ensure this does not repeat.

Sorry, I'm catching up on all the replies. I was thinking some rock damage (lots of rocks and boulders on the 22km dirt road I take up there). Corrosion might have been too strong of a word. But yes, it looks like exposed wiring to me as well. If the wires were recently stripped the...
