I just replaced my battery this past Sunday with an AGM. Vehicle started fine, drove to my brothers house down the street. Car sat a few hours then when it was time to leave I was able to unlock the doors but when trying to start the vehicle it was completely dead. I didn’t get any warnings on...
Mine shudders at low speeds and has done it since new, 58k miles now. It’s never really concerned me because I believe it’s just the transmission upshifting as much as possible to conserve fuel but causes engine lugging. When I’m stuck in heavy traffic I switch to sport mode which tends to...
I’m not bothered at all. Quite the opposite actually. After doing some research I’m impressed to find out this is the same exact engine used in the mk8 fiesta st from the uk. Been scoping their forums and have seen nothing but love. Lots of tuning and mods for this engine pushing it past 300hp...
If I had to trade in my Bronco Sport. No way would I trade it in for a Big Bronco. After all the issues I’ve had with this car I wouldn’t take another gamble. I’d trade it in for a Jeep Gladiator instead with the tried and true pentastar v6 w/zf8 transmission now that they are on massive...
Here’s an update. Rough idle became consistent after every fuel up. I ended up ordering a new oil separator (purge valve) Part #: HX7Z6A785C from ford parts website for $53. Easy 5 min replacement. Problem fixed, no more rough idle after fueling.
I had the same problem with Ford Tech saying the exact same thing. It’s like these guys check the vehicle for a few minutes and move on to the next. I too need to take my vehicle back to have it inspected once again. Other members have reported a crack in the catalytic converter was the cause so...
Are you having any issues after fueling up? Like rough idle? I found this on the maverick forums. Could be the purge valve on top of the engine.

Mine just started having this same issue a few months ago. I’m currently at 52000 miles. Took the vehicle in for the injector recall, coolant loss once again and now exhaust smell. I used to have a 2014 ford flex with a similar issue. Would smell like exhaust once you get on the accelerator...
Seeing how we’re having this issue after fill up. Mark brought it up in a different thread that it’s possibly a evap purge valve issue. I have a habit of topping off even after the nozzle clicks so I’ll stop doing that. I’ll keep an eye out from now on to see if the rough idle comes back.
I do a lot of highway driving and did notice a fair share of rocks hitting vehicle. One even cracked my windshield as well. After installing my Aeroskin ii hood protector it’s kind of rare now when one reaches the windshield.
