Third CEL

[Idahobro]

Honestly, ownership hasn't been terrible outside of my issues. When everything is working fine, I quite enjoy my Badlands. Most of my previous vehicles were purchased new and I've never come across this many CEL with any of them.

push the dealer a little harder to find the root cause. It's not a rash of bad O2 sensors. It's either a contaminant or electrical, or combo thereof.

I took my Badlands on some really steep rocky/sandy hills and some very steep gullys while hunting javelina. It performed flawlessly. I do need a lift and a metal skid plate on the driver's side though. I hate the sound of scraping in the center on a rutted road.

After 10,000 miles I'm getting the backup alarm from the brakes. I'm o.k. with that. It will make the dogs and kids get out of the way.

It's really the only complaint if I would even call it a complaint. It' is what it is and with a 30inch tire going in places people are now running 37's-40's, there isn't much you can do but stay off those trails or obstacles. Most of the trails are just fine it's only bad where things get rutted and then you don't have many options. Doesn't mean it's bad, it just has some limitations. Just like Harry said, "A vehicle needs to know it's limitations"

I bought mine a year ago and they’re still fixing issues it shipped with and also waiting on parts. Is most problematic vehicle I’ve ever owned. I have 9200 miles.
Bypass valve failed left me stranded for a week.
Roof panel separated from vehicle
Multiple blown speakers-swapped them all myself after Ford did it twice.
Bad headlight switch-couldn’t turn lights off without disconnecting battery.
Bad head unit- won’t turn on or off again had to disconnect battery.
Bad head unit module cause all hvac and surrounding stack buttons to stop working.
Bad alignment from Ford and Ford dealer-had to pay Indy shop to have it fixed.
Rattle in moon roof-fixed. Wasn’t lubed from factory.
Rear back up sensors intermittently stop working-replaced whole bumper assembly and sensors.
Bad brakes squealing and awful vibration-tsb done on rears.
Front rotors are scored at 8k miles-Ford won’t do anything because they stop you.
Panels that don’t fit right, chipped runny paint
You can feel and hear the a pillars and dash flex while driving.
If off camber doors and hatch won’t close if opened to grab things.
Buttons on steering wheel to change songs and volume are failing and work if you mash them a few times.
the windows switches will do the opposite. If you try to close or open a window it’ll open or close. Basically the opposite of what you want. Fun when raining.
Oil had fuel dilution after first oil change. Is minor, but shouldn’t happen at 4k miles.
Now getting random stutters. Only run super fuel. Might be the O2 sensor, but the lights don’t stay on the dash so Ford can’t do anything.
There’s more lol, I’d have to look through the copious amounts of dealer ROs.
I have multiple cases with Ford since I’m at the dealer once a month at least with issues. I couldn’t imagine owning a Ford outside of warranty. And I traded out of a lemon for this….
Hope you guys will fair better than me.

That is the most number of problems I’ve seen listed for one bronco sport

Many states have lemon laws. That sounds like a lemon. Ford should give you a new one.

Can only lemon if it’s the same issue multiple times. I can’t get Ford to fix the issues I have, let alone give me another one. And my rear hatch glass leaks after heavy rains lol
