Bronco Big Ben 2021 powertrain failure

[kim Randazz]

Anyone else deal with issues with your Bronco from the moment you left the lot? Our family car we purchased during Covid has turned out to be a constant issue, the week we had it the powertrain alert went off it was reset “computer issue” by one dealership then kept for two months and never really knew what was wrong or what they did but when we got our car back we were grateful! We looked forward to the Bronco.
Fast forward a year we are constantly have little issues one more year and then the transmission failed us! Thank god we had an extended warranty so it covered a rebuilt transmission. They had the car for around three months mind you I had to live without a car while my husband used mine, we finally got it back and there was a horrible exhaust smell and it wouldn’t do the eco pause when we would stop and it always sounded broken we kept bringing it back and they would tweak something and a week later we’d bring it back. We finally accepted the smell because atleast it was running this was last year at Christmas time now
fast forward Dec 9th of 2024 this year my husbands engine won’t switch gears while on the expressway! The power goes out which fyi happens on a regular so much so I don’t even talk about it anymore. But this time the power goes out and my husband has to dodge traffic to get off the expressway and take it back in to the dealership, now it needs an 11,000 engine after just replacing the transmission. We had the extended warranty for the transmission but sadly we have now went over our mileage for the extended warranty! I thought the new transmission would take this car into years of enjoyment but sadly I think I may have a lemon. I love Ford but dang this one has definitely tested my patience. I’m actually thinking of just dropping it off and being done. Are we the only ones with this issue……In the world? lol lol so sad

For whatever reason, I had an instance when I was accelerating from a traffic light, the rig would not shift. I stopped, put it in eco mode, drove it a bit and all was well. I switched it back in normal and the issue hasn't (thankfully) happened again. Sorry to hear about your issues

Hey there. I would like to take a closer look at your shifting concerns to see what I can do to assist. To get started, can you send over a message with your VIN and the name/location of the Ford dealer you are working with?
