2nd water pump failing

[Summers22]

Good deal, but service writers just tell us what they want us to hear. No water pump is going to be good if there is grit in unflushed fluid.

The tech just told me one sway-bar.

has to be an end link. you would know if you did something to bend your whole anti sway bar.

You will be joining the 3rd water pump club, there are others as well. .​

Have not heard of any 4th timer's.​

I’ll keep the Forum posted!

The vehicle never leaves the highway, so no, we haven't done anything to damage it. The mechanic couldn't explain it either.

I just traded mine in. I'm going to come back in a few years and hopefully they'll have most of the issues that people keep coming back in for like water pumps and maybe they will address the issues with the injectors. Until then I need a car I can depend on but I haven't given completely up yet.

2025s have virtually no issues

Thanks. I will consider that. I've defended The Bronco Sport many times with the "All cars have issues and recalls" argument but the fact that numerous people are on their third and fourth water pumps along with the well known fuel injector issues. I decided to go in another direction. 2 other dealers that I spoke with when discussing trading in the Bronco already knew about the water pump and fuel injector problems and tried to lower the value because of this. One guy said "These things ain't nothing but problems...everyone knows this.

Should specify its some ‘21-‘24 1.5L models which exhibit the issues you listed but the 2025s are a different design

Some Salespeople love to talk up a vehicle when it’s being sold to someone and reverse their tongues when taking in a trade even for the same vehicle - it’s well known how some salespeople behave

I did ask the tech last week if the coolant system was being flushed each time they replaced the water pump? Yes it is. Our Bronco was being checked over after a “Shift Fault” message popped up 3 times on one 165 mile drive. Turns out it was a software update issue. He was going to charge me $107 of the $150 bill to do the update. I talked him out of charging me anything after he said that also should take care of a “hill assist fault” that been showing up since it was new and had not been addressed previously when I had informed since it first happened.. He told me to connect our Bronco to our home wifi and it will automatically update our car as needed! I wasn’t aware that was an option. It’s set up now.
