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...

Reread the original post. I think you are right.

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...

COSTCO doesn't care which side of the car the gas tank fuel fill is on. If you are on the wrong side of the gas tank they will drag the hose over your car. No thanks. I usually go to WAWA for gas and they will tell the customer that they have to move the car so the gas tank filler is on the...

No, always in normal mode.

My 24 BS Badlands has the Auto Start/stop display as part of the myview menu selection. I am not sure about the 25 BS. It may be in the Status menu which is where it is in my 25 Escape. I use it all the time. If I haven't driven my vehicle for a few days it will tell me that the auto...

I have had a couple of very small chips in my BS with only about 2000 miles on it. Also found a very small one on my 25 Escape with about 500 miles on it. The chips were very small so I just used the Rain-X kit. Whether using professional glass repair or these kits it seems there will always be...

This is what I expected would happen if the brakes automatically apply. Not necessarily avoiding an accident but lessening the impact and maybe avoiding it. Here is more information from the 2024 owner manual including adjustments to the system Content

I have had a few of these alerts. Usually they are from someone in front of me that slows down to make a right turn. I have always had enough time to apply the brakes (sometimes not necessary) but never had the brakes apply because I didn't already apply them. I feel like if the brakes apply...

I have CarPlay connected on my sync 4 Escape and have used on 2025 Bronco Sports that were dealer loaners. When CarPlay is active I found that it automatically starts up like Red&Bad mentioned. I found the CarPlay settings under the General tab in settings. The only setting I see that would...

Can topping off your gas tank cause problems? AI Overview (I look at AI with skepticism but I think this is at least mostly accurate) Yes, topping off your gas tank can cause problems, including damage to the vapor recovery system and a costly repair to the charcoal canister. It can also lead...

The angle of the windshields being less sloped does not help.

I paid $58 + shipping at Helminc for the 25 Escape owners manual.
