The BS isn't their cup of tea and that's ok, I think most readers will get that and filter it through their own lens.

But this is harsh and will be hard to ignore for most buyers that aren't Bronco fans: "How it’s built: Consumer Reports predicts the Bronco Sport reliability to be a 2 out of 5."

07 Honda Accord, BS OB (in production)
BS OB w/ OB package (w/o moonroof), upgraded CoPilot Assist, and tow package

Order confirmed: 5/6

Scheduled for production: 6/3, set for week of 7/26

Production week bumped: 6/17, set for week of 8/2

~~In production: Doesn't show on the webpage, but window sticker date is 7/30. I can't recall the actual date i refreshed and saw it went into production but I believe 7/30 is accurate.~~

~~Still in production as of now (8/7). I saw generally it only takes people a few days to get through production. I'm hoping I'm not going to get stuck in missing parts purgatory.~~

Edit: Refreshed tracker, shows "in production" date as 8/7, est. delivery 9/14.


Anyone else slightly worried about the long-term durability of the BS?

Wow. I've been curious how consumer reports would rate the BS. That is indeed harsh.

Has anyone broken the code on whether or not tow hooks can be installed behind the punch outs on the base and BB?

Consumer Reports will prob continue to rate sport reliability low. Once Ford pumps out a couple hundred thousand values will tank.

I worry about anything built in today's world. However, Ford has been good to me in the past. They could have come out with a BS that would cost 38 to 40 K and would you have bought it. I don't think the Jeep Cherokee is any better.

Haha, at least 1 from me...
Anyone hear anything response-wise from this poster? Crickets for me... I still seem to be in build purgatory for my BB. "In production" since 7/26.

No 360 on my order. Have all my chips in ETIS. Moon roof, CMS holding me up? I wouldn't know... about to consult my magic 8 ball - ouija boards freak me out.

Curses! I contacted Ford in hopes of testing out the new Bronco. It sure looks sweet, with the doors and roof off.

“We don’t have those yet,” explained the nice fleet manager from Ford.

“Do you know who I am?” I replied
This is the money quote. After seeing this any word on the article is invalidated. Self-absorbed blowhard.

I also sent them a message that day concerning my build and it has been crickets for me, too.

I’ve been “in production since June 11” ordered Feb 10. I also sent a msg and received no response. Dealership tells me it’s out of their hands….Ford customer service tells me they have no update….Someone in production at Ford must have some answers as to why builds in June are sitting collecting dust yet builds in July/August are shipping?!

I'll bet they got a shxxload of messages from people on this forum waiting for their BS orders.
