Trusty til now 2021 OB died AGAIN!

[Broncoette]

As most of you know my car left me stranded in traffic a couple weeks back and all ended well with the dealer installing a new AGM battery under warranty.

Well, the new battery was literally one week old today and this morning my car would not start, would not take a battery jump, nothing! Ford roadside assistance towed it to the dealer this afternoon.

Sad day!

Well, that sucks. I worry a bit about a breakdown and carry a portable lithium jump starter. I've owned many vehicles over the years and never felt like I do with the BS.
Two breakdowns and it would be gone. Maybe one depending on the breakdown.

Well that's never good.

I carry a portable battery to jump start too. It did not do any good today. The tow truck driver even tried his heavy duty battery jumper. No luck.

Not good. Not good at all.

Sounds like a bad connection. Any time someone works on your car there's a chance it won't get put back together correctly. Not even the best battery will start your car if the connection(s) are bad.

I would trade it in unload it cause its probably too tricky of an issue for dealer to figure out.

Plus two breakdowns. How can you have confidence in the vehicle?

The thought has crossed my mind. I will wait and see what the diagnostic tells me and go from there.

My BS is not used much and is always on a battery maintainer that keeps the battery fully charged when I use the BS. We'll see what happens in that situation. The battery shouldn't have a problem.

I did take a 1400-mile round trip without any issues.

Could you please send over a message with your VIN and the name/location of the Ford dealership you are working with? I would like to take a closer look at your Bronco's battery issues and see what I can do to assist!

Thats unfortunate, just when you thought things are normal again.
Interested to know the cause this time.

Thank you. I'm curious to know the issue too, hope to know something next week. At least they put me in a loaner car in the meanwhile.
