Sounds the like city needs to extend the light timings. Here in S. Florida plenty of morons as well, thankfully long lights and no cameras so traffic flows fairly good. Its never going to be perfect and the closer you get to downtowm Miami it gets much worse, probably like DFW. All in all I've...

Personnelly its not about worrying about my mpg. Its more about driving effectivly. For example, being the first person to the red light, you won, yahoo! I roll up a few seconds later and sit there with everyone else waiting for the green light. Now times that 1000 times over the course of the...

Lucky, the RDU is covered under the 5/60 Powertrain Warranty. In my case the RDU was beyond a oil change. Fortunately I have a new one, a new axle too. On the next oil chage I'm getting the PTU and trans oil changed. Seems these are also high on the list for failure, whether you drive easy or...

I totally agree, whatever the posted limit is stick to it or get over. The thing is you never see all the people driving the limit and on the other side there's the ones doing 20 or 30 over, weaving and tailgating, flashing and honking. At some point you just have to tune out the others and...

Definitely, headwinds are a big factor in mpg. Tailwinds are your friend. A lot of shaming in this thread for driving the speed limit. My self I just dont care, stay to the right, set cruise and go. I drive 80 miles a day r/t, over the course of a year the savings add up and I still get to a...

I installed an aFe (Advanced Flow Engineering) Momentum GT CAI w/Pro 5R Filter. On the exhaust I installed 2 Vibrant Performance 2.25 Ultra Quiet Resonators with 2, 3" exhaust tips, which sound awesome! Intake and exhaust complement each other, mpg increased roughly 18-20%, not sure about HP but...

Interesting, seems it should have been covered under the 5/60 Powertrain Warranty. In my case everything was covered 100%, even the rental.

Received my Bronco back this week after 16 days in the shop. On top of the RDU being replaced the tech replaced a rear axle as well. With all the extra nuts, bolts, clamps, hangers, oil, etc, etc the total was nearly $4000. One hundred percent covered by the Power Train Warranty. That includes...

I would call Ford Customer Service to get clarification. Its different here in the United States. There is a congressional act call the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act that allows for certain modifications. Not sure if oversized tires are covered in the act but its certainly common to change tire...

Besides the rear gate seal I would have the dealer check the two louvers hidden behind the rear side panels below the windows in the cargo area. They are hard to get too but a body guy probably can very easily. These louvers are mechanical and vent to the outside by positive interior air...

Good morning all, after one year of progressively louder shuddering I am getting my RDU replaced. It's covered under the 5/60 Powertrain Warranty. For those who are noticing a low speed (1st or 2nd gear) shuddering when turning sharply I suggest you get your BS in for a inspection before the...

Wow, that is a huge hit. The drive train warranty is 5 yr/60K, you must have been over that. Mine is at 38K, just made an appointment for a fluid change, hopefully no damage as it makes exactly the same nouse as described in all related TSBs.

Good morning all 21 Bronco Sport owners (22, 23 & 24 too). There has been several threads concerning noise, shudder, groan, etc. coming from the rear end. This thread is more specific. It concerns only the rear differential noise. This noise can sometimes be confused with rear brake noise which...

There is truth to that. In the case of some BSports the OEM Caliper Guide Pins can bind or stick and not letting the caliper release fully when using the Parking Brake or Brake Hold function. The new kits have a nylon inner sleeve in the rubber boots that the guide pins go thru. Supposedly this...

Just to add, there is also a rear differential issue that has been reported. It can be difficult to distinguish between the Caliper Pin issue and Differential noise. In my case it was the pins, to pin down the exact cause its best to drive with your mechanic and perform what ever maneuver where...

Hello, the root cause is the caliper guide pins. Ford issued a TSB to replace the pins. Two dealers I went to confirmed it was covered, problem was the kit was backordered. I waited over 6 months and took action myself. I purchased the pin kits on Amazon which are Ford OEM, the same kits the...

The guide pins are the root cause of the noise, the dragging, the excessive brake dust. Replace the guide pins and that will solve the problem. Fords TSB was only for the pins, kind of lame that the dealer had to backirder the pin kits when Amazon sells the Ford OEM kits, had them in three days...

Two weeks now

That is a very common problem. I've been putting up with it for about a year and finally decided to upgrade the rear rotors and pads from PowerStop. It cost $148 for two slotted and drilled rotors and a two pair of carbon/ceramic pads. The Ford TSB addresses this with relpacing the two caliper...

I removed everything behind the CC and installed two Vibrant mufflers where the OEM muffler hung. Tipped those off with two 3" ceramic coated tips straight out below the bumper. All pipe was 2.25". I removed the stock air box and installed a aFe CAI that uses the factory air snorkle. There is no...
