Missing Engine Cover

[gman62]

I have owned my BS since March. Have yet to even pop open the hood once (dealer does the oil changes).

Yep, no engine cover also I have no hood insulator as well.

We all ran out and bought Fords newest toy.
It’s a new model but maybe we should tag these Baby bronc’s as the 1st run of a ‘Pandemic’ vehicle.
You guys would have really been hollering if they were shipping with no headliner, or back seat.
Many parts come from China and Taiwan.
This Escape on Steroids is built in Mexico.Ford does the bulk of their on road R&D in Europe.
So much for being American made right !
The Only cars that are truly American Made are made by Tesla.
American hands build it,
On American soil,
NON Union,
Almost EVERY part Is sourced right here on home soil from US based companies.
Most everything else they make In house.
Ford is doing the best that it can.
They know most will not bitch about the now famous engine cover. Most will never notice it missing on their own.
Be happy you can still buy a vehicle with the Ford badge.

Our OB has the hood insulation pad but not an engine cover. I was told that they are available.

I honestly cannot remember the number of cars I drove growing up that had neither and they lasted forever, hood paint and all. Personally I like hearing the hard to hear sounds of my engine. Let's me know when something small is off.

Engine covers are almost an excuse not to maintain an engine cause no one know what is even under their cover!! LMAO. I once said PCV to someone and they are like…is that the plastic in the engine?

And that is when you "Could" work on your engine yourself. I could get in the engine compartment with the engine to work on my 283 V8, although the only emission controls on it were that air filter over the carb and the muffler and exhaust pipe and - oh yeah, that positive crankcase ventilation valve (PCV).

The B58 is not too bad for work or modifications even though it is a modern engine. Alot of sensors but still can get hands all the way in to remove parts. Definitely could do more with the old engines. I miss those. I remember my first lessons as a kid with my dad on his 68 mustang engine.

Has anybody else taken possession of their new sport, opened the hood and discovered that the rubber/plastic engine cover isn't there.

I don't have one either. WAIT - I don't even have the engine that it goes on. Oh, that might also be because I haven't yet received my June build BS that just received its MISSING chips and FDM recall. I guess I have to have my BS to have an engine to have an engine cover. At this point - I don't give a damn if it comes with one or not!

Pretty much looking at it like a kid…10 toes, 10 fingers…all good
4 wheels…4 doors…all good!

you can purchase the engine cover from Steeda

Better check after service, sketchy tech claims it was never there. Meanwhile there's a slightly used BS engine cover for auction on eBay

Has anybody else taken possession of their new sport, opened the hood and discovered that the rubber/plastic engine cover isn't there. The service guy tried telling me that he doesn't think they include those anymore. In a polite way my response was bullshit! Turns out the complete listing of the parts for my sport said "Less engine cover"

I talked to my salesman and the sales manager. He said he's had that complaint from a couple of his customers, and doesn't know what's going on. They both agreed that is serves a valuable purpose! The dealer, who had been great to work with, is going to order it and pay for it.

I assume that Ford is getting cheap! These serve a purpose, muffle the noise a little and to insulate the engine heat from the hood. I'm guessing that by the time the paint cracks, fades, or you get that ring from the engine heat, they hope we'll have sold it, the warranty will be up, or they'll probably just say the it's not covered!

The Badlands and First Edition have the insulation installed on the underside of the hood! if this gets to be too much of a hassle, I'll just buy it and install it. It"s only $168 for all of the parts. I may get the Badlands insulation and have it installed on the hood if that possible!

Anyway, frustrat

I bought my 2022 ford bronco sport and I accidently poped the hood up to discover that the engine cover is not there and no hood insulation ! I went to the dealership and the answer was that they don't have any parts to replace them and, if they get some in their stock they will call me which I doubt it !
