Labor cost can be variable, and sometimes someone really enterprising like a person wtih FORscan and an OBD II reader can save certain operations (like retraining lane keeping after a windshield change), but in terms of parts, a lot of that is at the mercy of the dealer. When my BS got hit by a...

Awkward to comment here as a 2.0L owner, but when I bought my BS, the factor driving me to get the 2.0L wasn't concerns about the reliability, it was wanting to have similar oomph to the car I replaced (my 2015 Ford Fusion Titanium had a 2.0L I4 Ecoboost) and reports that there were some...

No. The required software changes are not a dealer operation, also sensors, parts changes etc... In theory with enough money, time, effort, and FORScan software with a compatible OBDII reader, it could be done. For at least the adaptive cruise control portion, someone has done the retrofit and...

The increase in the number of cameras could increase the likelihood that any one camera has failed, but having driven Explorer and Expedition vehicles with the 360 degree cameras -it is a tremendous, tremendous upgrade versus having just the rear camera, or the front camera as an option to...

360+ is worth it, in my opinion. I've never been in a situation to have the evasive steering assist trigger, and the built in nav is pretty pointless for me since I have Carplay (but it could be handy in a pinch in an area with no cellular reception). The star of the show is the adaptive cruise...

I have the 2.0L so not affected by this recall, but I agree with other posters that it makes absolutely no sense that Ford minimally did not put the software fix in on the newer vehicles, and now that two iterations of fuel injectors have leaked (and when they do, they leak in an area that is...

It's not even a weak system, it's the system being hobbled by software. The current software seems to not run the alternator enough (or high enough) to keep the battery at a good state of charge. I observed this at longer stops before I got my auto start/stop eliminator, it would let the...

You're correct about the what the recall and what the remedy is, but part of the problem of why this is so serious is that the EFBs that Ford is shipping from the factory are crap. I'm also extremely skeptical about how the battery management system is choosing to charge these things. The...

I believe you misunderstand the point. This is not a $10 USB that allows a laptop without wifi (which what laptop not manufactured in the last 18 years didn't have wifi on board?) to have wifi to connect to a wifi network. It is a feature where the vehicle itself can broadcast a wifi network to...

Yes, but the problem here is that the value of a feature can exceed the cost of it. It potentially could make or break one's purchase decision for the vehicle. Having the wi-fi hotspot available was important to me even though I don't currently use it, because A) vehicle resale value and B)...

I can't agree with anyone on here who says "take the $20". I have been in contact with Ford. Three levels of escalation. They agree it cannot be retrofit into my existing vehicle. The next step is a PO Box. Another dept in Dearborn MI. Ford for a while disclaimed the $20 savings on the...

The dip in 4-36 months I agree with @johnardsg. The dip in initial quality...corresponds perfectly with the pandemic, labor issues, parts shortages, etc... I can't say I'm surprised the whole industry has been bitten.

Subscribed to TSBs from the F-150 Forum (which funnily enough offers the Bronco Sport as an option to get alerts on) and just received an email that there's a recall on the all-season (standard) tires for some 2023 BS'...

I will say honestly I'm not sure why anybody would subscribe to Sirius directly. There are exceptions of course: People who traverse extremely rural areas where there's zero cell reception or poor cellular reception regularly are a prime target, as are the car dependent. The BS is marketed for...

Had my BS one year, no windshield issues yet. I did have a 2015 Ford Fusion that had lane keep assist (which means a camera behind the rearview mirror looking out the windshield) and I did have a windshield replacement in that...The actual windshield is around $300, the retraining of the lane...

Been there, just email [email protected] and request to be opted out of all email, mail, and telephone communication. List any emails, addresses, and phone numbers they're hounding you at. They'll respond a few hours later that you're opted out. The opt out can take 1-2 months for mail (they...

I don't have the paperwork from my dealer, but I do have dealer.parts.ford.com tuned in to 2023 Bronco Sport and the liftgate parts are listed on backorder there too: My guess is that OEMPartsonline Lakeland ford etc. are assuming the parts are available for order and then would follow up with...

Same exact symptoms. They got weaker before they failed entirely. I'd definitely call the dealer and see if they consider that a precursor to failure to get the parts on order...

Hello all, Have an in-warranty failure after less than a year of ownership that is a bit odd. The gas struts that support the liftgate while open have failed completely on my 23 BS BL. The hatch now actively falls as fast as gravity permits if not actively held up by hand. I took it to my...
