I’m glad they’re buying it back so quickly. Hopefully your next car will be problem free for the next 100k+ miles. New cars are so fun but issues at such low mileage really leave a bad taste. I don’t think i’ll buy another Ford again either, but their design really inspired other automakers. There’s way more boxy, rugged alternatives compared to 4 years ago.

I agree these new cars are way too complicated and more prone to failure, and yet at the same time I love my 360 degree cameras and ventilated seats and heated steering wheel!

I agree about the design. The utility is amazing. You have a 360 camera in a Sport? I had one in my Bronco and it was the best. And thanks, I don't even want a car after 3 of these - what a headache. Maybe an old jeep with a good mechanic

I have the 360 camera in my Honda Passport, which I got recently to replace my Bronco Sport. It’s fancy!

That's awesome, congrats! Those cars look so nice and yes the 360 cam is a total game changer! Enjoy it - Honda is the way

The bucking is at slow speeds, let's say you're going 30 or less and take your foot off the gas to turn into a parking lot or something similar, the car bucks. Nothing to do with temperature of the car or outside. In my case, the best way to replicate it is take your foot off of the gas, while going slow. They replaced the transmission and Ford sent a bad one, it's worse with this one. Constant bucking. The Sport Badlands apparently has Edge components so this would make sense. The transmission never fails but feels like it will. Ford needs to buyback all of these cars, it's a major safety issue

I just got my 2021 bronco sport base back from the dealer. It spern about three weeks ago at the dealer , they replaced water pump, alternator, and the turbo. Now the car is having the same issues at lower speeds. This weird jolting and stuttering almost. Earlier this year in march 2025, they replaced a gear on the transmission cause they noticed a lag when test driving it. Going to take it back to the dealer and see what they say.
