Thanks everybody for your replies. I dig further at the dealership and was told the water pump leak was spraying the alternator, and that is what caused the issue. They say that the alternator is not testing consistently and goes in and out. I’m not that mechanically knowledgeable… nor have a...

Mark…thank you! I’ve been digging trying to find out if this is even possible, but can’t confirm the positioning of the water pump in relation to the alternator on the 2021 Bronco either. Anybody know if the positioning of the water pump would allow a leak (also i have NO areas in my driveway...

Thanks! And also thank you for mentioning the BMS reset…I can confirm that it was completed and still no fix! It looks like I have no choice but to trust what they are saying here and replace the alternator and water pump…

So…this is exactly what the dealership initially told me and sent videos of. However while “making sure”, it turned into “the water pump is leaking onto the alternator, which damaged the alternator.” So now it is a $2500 repair out of nowhere…

Thanks everybody for the input. This has been an ordeal already… 1. Took it to Firestone - tested the battery and it was dead…got a new battery. 2. Got halfway home and the “System Charging Service Now” message came back on, along with battery fail indicator, but none of the other alerts that...

Hello all! I’ve had a great 65k out of my 2021 Big Bend Sport, and then suddenly I went to start it today and it sputtered and eventually started, but not confidently. It immediately gave the “Charging System Service Now” message before scrolling through a ton of error messages. Multiple...

Ayyyyyyyyy! Lookin’ great! I love that color.

Haha! I’ve been nervous about cleaning mine as well. This is the first really nice vehicle I’ve ever had and I’m trying to keep it looking awesome! Been taking it to the car wash every 2 weeks. I never use the auto drive thru thing. I use the self wash dock and only use the hose/soap spray and...

Looks great! I’m definitely tinting my front driver/passenger side windows to match the rears. I didn’t even know that tinting the headlights was a thing...looks rad!

Im honestly trying to get some feedback and trouble shoot this before calling the dealership. “I’ve got a clunking sound that is happening randomly under the hood after I turn it off” is something that generally will open a massive can of worms at a dealership or garage. I don’t feel like a 6...

The fact that it is occurring SO long after the vehicle is turned off is what really has me scratching my head. How long after the car is turned off are you hearing it? Being that I’ve experienced it the only two times that I’ve actually been in the car for more than a few minutes after turning...

Question...when changing the GOAT modes...is it ok to change your selection while the vehicle is moving? I assume the answer is yes, so you can adjust as you encounter different conditions. But I just wasn’t sure if the change of mode while driving is good for the engine/transmission. I’ve...

So...I’ve noticed something very odd with my new Bronco Sport... I have experienced very odd shifting/clunking/banging sounds from under the hood well after the car is turned off. First time I was in a location where I was in the Bronco for about a 45 minute time period waiting for an...

I didn’t get much of a price break...ended up at 30,500. Same though...couldn’t find one with the heated seats! Wasn’t a dealbreaker for me so I went for it.

I think I’ve mentioned it in other threads...it is the ONLY feature I really don’t like at all.

Wow! A lot of this goes waaaaaaay over my head tbh. But the possibility of activating remote start and the such is enticing. Does doing all this stuff void the warranty or anything like that?

Great review! I dig that color. I’m loving mine as well even though I haven’t had the chance to test it in the elements like you have! Now that you mention it, my Apple play has glitched a bunch as well...not the biggest deal, but worth noting.

Hmmm...in all honesty...I find it to be a pretty rough restart when I go to take my foot off the brake and accelerate when it is enabled...almost to the point of what I would describe as a “shudder”. Is this not the case on yours? Kind of makes me want to go to the dealership and see how it...

Whoa! Thanks for the tip! The auto Stop/Start truly is the only feature I’ve come across so far that I really dislike.

Me too! After my first black car I swore I’d never get another bc of how quickly all the little dings and scrapes started to show up...but this just looked tooooooo sharp. If I end up loving this thing as much as I’m sure I’m going too...I’ll probably do something like get it painted a classic...
