I happen to agree that Ford is totally out of touch with reality when it comes to how their products are used in real life and the expiation that normal day to day usage does not include regular visits to the dealer to have issues address for which Ford has no actual repair. (two F-150 with...
I have had these on several vehicles and they have presented no issues of any kind. I also have seen no issues with mud flaps, car washes, etc that would be related to their fabric construction.
My F-150 did this for a short time. It did correct itself so we really didn't identify the root cause of the problem but, my dealer found a mouse nest in the area that the hyper flash was indicating as a problem.
I have had Michelin tires on my 2021 Explorer as well as my 2025 Bronco Sport. I was always very happy with the way they worked for me. My driving is generally more on slippery than deep snow. If our snow exceeds 8 or 10 inches I use my F-150. It has Pirelli tires that work quite well for me.
I think that what you are seeing is a difference in the way you are used to in turning on and setting the cruse compared to the way it was done in the past. I have found it very different but fairly easy to adjust to.
I have had sync 3 on some vehicles and sync4 on two. I would not recommend sync4 for anything. Ford cannot leave it alone and is constantly making changes. They seem to make worse every time.
I put these on mine. Not very happy as they were very expensive and quality was poor. I talked to the manufacturer and they offered to replace them but the hassle was not worth it. I would not buy these again.
One thing I still haven't seen is a definitive explanation of the cam belt, oil pump belt, cam chain and gear driven oil pump situation. I haven't come up with anything that clearly states which system is used in the MPC engine.

Thank you for the nicely detailed response to my query. I have owned several 2.0 Ecoboost Fords in the past. If this one is as good as they were, I will be quite happy. So far I am quite pleased with the performance, mileage, etc. The vehicle itself also seems to be well made.
I am a new Bronco Sport owner and currently trying to find out all I can about my 2025 Bronco Sport. The current interest is in the engine. From what I can tell based on internet wisdom is, that the dragon engine is gone and has been replaced by the MPC. Is that correct? Also, what are the...
