I have taken out the 10 year/100,000 mile warranty on the BS and my 25 Escape. Bought them both online so got them both at the lowest price available. Actually happy that Ford offers warranties with that length of time and mileage, especially since I plan to keep my cars for at least a few...
So torque convertor or transmission or both? Either way while not good at least you said it was covered under powertrain warranty.
How long do you plan on keeping your Bronco Sport? I would think replacing (I am assuming remanufactured) the transmission would be better for the long term. You...
I use voice command to make calls and it is not always straight forward so I do not bother with other commands. Even just trying to make a call using voice command I find myself having to repeat the voice command and sync coming back and asking me if I want to call X and asking me to respond yes...
This was a subject that came up before the 25 Bronco Sports came out with sync 4 and the larger screen. You could search the forum (see below for one thread) and the internet for pros and cons of loosing the buttons for larger screens. On my previous searching I have found that there are some...
Did you check Ford pass for messages? I would think the message about battery saver mode would show up in the app and you will be able to show the dealer. Also did you check with the dealer regarding any service history before you purchased it? Maybe the issue surfaced before you bought it...
Not a fan of the black wheels either but I bet generally they are cheaper to make than chrome wheels so manufacturers are using them on their new vehicles.
Have you verified that the recalls you are talking about actually apply to your vehicle? Have you received recall notices for the 5 recalls you are referring to? If not, have you gone to the NHTSA website and printed out the recalls that you are referring to and showed them to the dealer to...
My Kitchenaid died after 2 1/2 years. Even though we had an extended warranty we bit the bullet and replaced the refrigerator because we knew it would take weeks to fix and we had issues since it was new. I looked at CR's ratings before deciding what to buy and noticed most refrigerator brands...
I do not change my own oil so unfortunately I would not see an oil leak from th engine compartment because with the panels under the engine compartment leaking oil never gets to the ground. I have to rely on the dealer finding oil leaks. That said this is from a search of red fluid leaking...
Yes, I had a 2019 Edge with the hands free power liftgate. I actually liked the feature when we were out and my hands were full and needed to open the liftgate. While it was parked in the garage the open liftgate hight was never a problem as long as the garage door was open. There was only a...
LOl. I go to the 1 star reviews first also but even then I am looking at what they are complaining about. A lot of times like you said they have high expectations or it looks like they weren't using the product correctly and when it didn't work as they expected they blame the product.
I have had a subscription to Consumer Reports for many years but that does not mean that I take what they or any other product review (not just automobiles) says as gospel. I read or watch the reviews with the understanding of where they are coming from and take that information with a grain of...
The actual Consumer Reports article "42 Used Cars to Avoid Buying" was updated December 31, 2025 and specifically lists only the 2021 Bronco Sport to avoid. Not subsequent years. Not surprising as this is the initial year of manufacturer for the Bronco Sport. The 2026 Ford Bronco Sport...
Ford will not cover small dents unless you happened to catch them when taking delivery.
From my 24 Warranty Book:
Damage Caused by Use and/or the Environment
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover surface rust,
deterioration and damage of paint, trim, upholstery, and other
appearance...
Yes, If this is the case the Auto Start/Stop message when at a stop would indicate that it is not on because of heating/cooling or iirc in the winter months low outside temperature. At least with my BS which I drive daily the Auto Start/Stop activates even in temperatures in the low 30's so far...
Just received a letter for this Special Field Action 25L02 regarding my 24 Bronco Sport. It is in regard to repairs to the Transmission Control Assembly that may have paid out of pocket for when in fact if you lived in certain states where the California emissions warranty applies you could be...
