So my 2021 Bronco sport went in the ford dealer bc my heat wasn't working. Had it for 6 weeks and replaced the head gasket. Got it back on Sat and Sun the light came on for over heating and stopped running. Back to ford. Should be interesting what ford does.
anyone else with this issue?

Several posts with leaking coolant issues. Will have to wait and see what your diagnosis is before it can be considered a common issue with the other posted problems.

Replaced head gasket...bummer. Most other reports regarding coolant leaks involved the water pump. If yours was leaking coolant into the cylinders via a bad head gasket that's not good. Did you happen to notice white smoke from the tailpipe?

Hi there, I'd be happy to look into your Bronco concerns on my end. Will you send us a message with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into things on my end.

Sorry to hear about the troubles.

I have a 22 badlands with just over 37k miles. It has been trouble free until last night when it started chugging and then blew a lot of white smoke. Noticed coolant level was low. Looks to be a head gasket. Getting it towed to a dealer now.

Bronco Sport aka "Spark Plug"
would seem odd for a second head gasket to crap out
potential for leaking coolant seal in the turbo
hairline crack in head

Yes cylinder 2&3. I didn't notice white smoke. This time they said air pocket in it.
