Well.... my beautiful area 51, Big Bend, Bronco sport is now broken down, after having it only 3 weeks, and driven only 548 miles (most of which came from driving it home from the dealership, hours away).
My 28th anniversary present, from my husband, now sits in a Ford service lot, where it has sat, for the past 10 days, as the service department and Ford has no idea what the problem is. ??
After pulling off from a stop light, my little Bronco would not accelerate, then chimes began, and a warning appeared, low oil pressure. I finally managed to safely pull in a driveway. We checked the oil, which was fine. Contacted our local dealer, who said for us to bring it in the next morning. Upon starting the Bronco later, no alerts were showing... and might I add, no alerts or error codes were on our Ford Pass. We drove it a short distance home, and no alerts,no problems with acceleration etc... the next morning, I drove to the local dealer... and after driving it maybe 5 miles, just before getting to the dealer, the same warning appeared, along with no acceleration etc...still no error codes on ford pass, and the dealer showed no error codes. We were initially told it was the oil pressure solenoid, but the part was on back order, and it would be a week. Sooo, the part arrived a couple days ago, we received a call from them, stating that the part was put on, and it did not fix the issue, and stating they had a call into Ford tech, for advisement. We received another call yesterday, stating Ford said to replace the oil pressure sensor, which they ordered, and would put it on this morning, and call us. We received a call around lunch time today, that part was installed and did not fix the problem... so they have another call into Ford Tech and said they will hopefully be in touch early next week.
My husband and I had been talking about getting a new SUV for a while. We really hadn't thought about the Bronco Sport.. until one day, I passed one on the road...I loved the way it looked... loved that it was a "reboot" of a vehicle from our younger years.... and I mentioned it to him. We went and looked at the couple we could find in our area, but I loved the color of area 51, and there were hardly any Broncos available here, so my husband drove several hours away, to buy my little Bronco. I loved it, it made me almost feel young again.... lol. Well, now I feel my age again, lol, as my Bronco sits, indefinately, broken down, in a service lot. It seems many people are having issues, it is so sad....
