Final fix (cross your fingers). So far so good, tried it out and no leak so far.
Ford picked up my Bronco today and fixed it after I asked if there were technician notes on how to fix this problem. They got back to me and said their service technician got a fix from Ford. Here what was done...
I whole heartedly believe that $2 part would do the trick (it is in my Amazon shopping list). I just need to not void my warranty since I have 2 years left. I may ask them about it. They keep telling what the problem is and I have no idea how they are coming up with the list of items they are...
It seems to be fine if it is parked on a flat surface. I ran the wipers and put it in the garage and no issue there, but expect it to work on a hill as well. It should be able to go down a hill without losing fluid.
Here is the latest repair. I believe this is an unfortunate design flaw and...
Took it in again for fix #2 and what ever they did it had no effect on the problem. As soon as they dropped it off I parked in my normal spot and turned on the spray and it continued to drip until this morning. Again I parked front down on a 4 degree incline (driveway) since it is easier to...
I had only been using RainX washer fluid this year it took me a full year to get through the initial reservoir when I purchased the car. Around the same time I also started backing into our sloped driveway where the front now points downhill. I have an appointment next week with the full...
I will be interested in what they will say tomorrow. I regretted not bringing my Ford Escape in for a seemingly minor issue which drove me nuts over time, so I am going to keep bring this back.
This was the report in case you want to know what might not work. The tech also mentioned the RainX fluid, which he thought was problematic. What does everyone else use? That just happened to be in our garage…
Took my Bronco in today since it is still well under warranty and the technician changed a washer. Had it home for mere minutes and it is leaking again. Went from leaking orange fluid before the repair and now blue fluid. Will be calling again tomorrow. Would hate to not have fluid when...
Apparently one year for me. Took a year to go through the first full reservoir, filled it a few weeks ago and now it is empty and I have an orange mark from the liquid on my driveway.
I was looking for a replacement for my 2005 Ford Escape a boxy little SUV which I had for 17 years. I hate the newer Escape body so that was not an option and the Explorer was too expensive. I wish it was a bit bigger, but my kids are getting older so soon I will be just driving myself and a a...
Was able to try my Bronco in the snow since the 12-16 inches have not been plowed around us. Slippery mode is nice. I grew up on the east coast mostly driving sedans, had one rear wheel drive light weight pickup (bad decision), then our 2WD Escape. I have never been stuck in the snow (knock...
