Hi all,
I wanted to hear some thoughts from all of you.
My bronco sport 2023 with 81k miles (pre owned, bought in a Ford dealership) like a month and a half ago started to act weird and after taking it to two different places, one ford dealership and one auto shop, they did not find anything weird but I was sure that something was wrong, I lost power twice in different days and at the beginning, in the for dealership they told me it was just the air filter cover that is was not properly installed, that same day when I got the car back, the car started to act worst and worst to the point to have multiple noises but no lights or warnings on the dashboard., I ended towing the car to the ford again which is 30 miles from my place and when they were road testing it, the transmission died on them and they had to tow the car back to the dealership just to learn that the transmission completely died and now it needs to be replaced and they are quoting me $8400+.
It is just amazing to me that this could happen out of nowhere and to get the words "transmission issues are a gamble, it seems you have bad luck and move out from Ford" from the sales manager at the Ford where I got this, specially because this is my second ford (first was a fusion 2018 blue certified pre owned) that I got from them and that the transmission also dies in that car after 12k miles that I got it with them, this happened also exactly a year ago, at that time I had an extended warranty and did not paid for the replacement but all the costs of not having a car for weeks, it is also annoying, and what are the chances to have the same exact issue 10 months after you get a car.
Now I am deeply concern and stressed about having to deal with this multiple times and that there is no too much care about the ford dealership besides offer me to move the car from the actual ford dealership to the one where I got it so they can see what is wrong, but I do not see the point if at the end it will be just another super high quote to repair a 3 year old car.
I love love my Bronco but now I don't know if should I take his advice and more out from Ford and basically leave my bronco or if replace the transmission will be the best option for me, I just don't want to go through this for a t third time if happens again.
Thank you all!
