Took my Bronco Sport to the dealer for it's regular oil change. When they were done, they had me go out into the shop to talk to the mechanic who worked on my vehicle. I have two problems, a leaking CV axle seal, and both my rear shocks are leaking. I am out of warranty, my Bronc has 65,000 miles on it. I drive a lot, and so far the vehicle has served me pretty well. Maybe I should have bought the extended warranty, but when buying a car the last twenty years (Toyota's and Honda's), I have never bought an extended warranty, and didn't need to. The mechanic put the vehicle on the hoist and walked me around showing me what was going with both issues. This kind of snuck up on me, neither issue is leaking on to the pavement at home, but they are definitely leaking. So, I am going to get it fixed and then decide what to do with this vehicle. Seals going on a two year old car that has been driven on paved roads (almost all highway miles) seems to me to be a sign of poor quality. Kind of wondering what will go next. The shocks really stinks, they replaced one leaky shock about a year ago under warranty. Ford also has published a service bulletin about the rear shock problem, so they know about this.
Anyway, not sure what I will do going forward. Drove all my Honda's and Toyota's past 200,000 miles without these types a problems, or any real issues for that matter. Two years ago, I thought I would give Ford a chance.
Here is a video I found that describes pretty well what is going on with both issues. The owner in this video has only 10,000 miles on their Bronco. Sincerely hope none of you get stuck with this.
