I was luckily able to cancel my Bronco order. Bought a 2006 Toyota Sequoia instead. Out performs my buddy’s Bronco and was like 13k with 122k miles (no issues at all)

[@BevinsBuilds]

Sounds like you got a great deal.

[@unclefester4626]

I had a 2018 tacoma with a multitude of electrical problems. Navigation locking up and not working, radio issues, cruise control issues, and the worst was the coil malfunctions. I honestly believe all car manufacturers are buying their electrical components from the same supplier because they're all having similar problems. I sold it back to the dealership last may and i do not regret it at all. I have a 17 year old trailblazer that is flawless and i will keep it forever. I'm done buying new cars from ethically challenged dealerships.

[@BevinsBuilds]

With the global economy sadly yes they are all getting the parts from mexico and china. Everything is made to be thrown away and not repaired. I miss the days of being able to pull something apart and rebuild it.

I leased a new 2021 Ford Bronco about 14 months ago. I get an average of 28 mpg on it. The only issue I experienced was about 4 months ago, the display screen didn't boot up, so, I could not the image when I backed out of my garage. I scheduled an appointment to have it diagnosed, nut couldn't get in until two weeks later. While I was waiting to get it looked at, one morning, the screen came to life and there has been no problem since then. I took a 3000 mile trip to Ely Nevada by way of Denver and Colorado Springs. On the return trip, I experienced an mpg of 30 on I 80 near Evanston WY at 80 mph. --+ Its legal in Wyoming

[@BevinsBuilds]

With that gas mileage it sounds like you have a bronco sport.

[@dougbosworth8745]

your one of the lucky ones that still has an engine

[@mattbarrett41]

I did a dealer test drive over their pseudo trail course. The damn thing broke. They still wanted to sell me one. No thank you. Drove out in my 2018 Wrangler

[@godzilla7148]

I'm sure they'll get it all fixed up just in time for a valve to drop! Good Luck! You'll need it!

[@alexaltrichter1597]

Sell it before the engine blows. There's been a whole lot of them dropping valves into the pistons.

[@BevinsBuilds]

I have the 4 cylinder the issue is on the 6

[@TheSchmed]

@@BevinsBuilds a little 4 Cyl in that big truck, I have no idea what Ford was thinking. A High revving, turbocharged 4 cylinder motor that belongs in a compact sports car in a giant SUV ? They did the same with the Jeep Wrangler and put a 2.0L 4 cylinder as an “upgrade” for the naturally aspirated 3.6L PentaStar V6, and realized they were being avoided, and quickly removed that “upgrade” cost.

[@hellkitty1014]

Believe it or not, the 2.3 is one of the best engines that Ford makes.

[@mmichaeldonavon]

@@BevinsBuilds That's true. Heard it was bad material used on some valves.

[@mmichaeldonavon]

@@TheSchmed The turbochargers can spin at up to 150, 000 rpm. That's why, even though they push that air and fuel in those cylinders, under high pressure, they will not last. Hey, it's mechanical and running at super high rpm. FROM AN ARTICLE I JUST READ: "Jun 8, 2018 - The turbine in the turbocharger spins at speeds of up to 150,000 rotations per minute (rpm) -- that's about 30 times faster than most car engines can go" A Jet aircraft's N2 (aft) compressor spins at around 14,000 rpm at take off - 100% to 104%. Those parts are moving - but they can't hold a candle to a car's turbo at approximately 150,00rpm, when "you get on it" to get into traffic.

[@eddiestanley135]

Did I miss something? I am not the brightest bulb on the tree but a "tune up" at 4,000 miles? Also, a vacuum line to repair a brake lamp monitor issue??? Better repack the muffler bearings as well.

[@BevinsBuilds]

Your right your not, wasnt a tune up but oil change and tire rotation and yes there is a vacuum line on the booster for brakes.

[@eddiestanley135]

@@BevinsBuilds Oh, I apologize, but the guy in the video said...tune up, and yes, the vacuum line is for the power brake booster . Just was curious how this affects a lamp out warning. Thanks for being an " expert" on these quality vehicles and good luck with yours.

A dozen recalls and software updates though.

[@tntzimmerman9552]

From the video looks like you were using the wipers when it was dry? Or high setting when it was sprinkling?

How is this different from other cars today?

[@hellkitty1014]

Any updates? Believe it or not, my son-in-law had a myriad of electrical issues that came down to the battery. Yes, a freagggin battery had the lights flashing, radio surging, wipers doing weird things, and multiple warning lights come on at once and disappearing for days. They put the new battery in everything went away. 4 weeks later, the 2.7 engine blew with the dreaded valve seat issue. He loved that First Edition but it had to go. Ford bought it back.

[@BevinsBuilds]

They ended up replacing the control module and I haven't had any problems since. I have put an additional 4k miles on it problem free. I have to say the engine problems I keep hearing about are a bit worrisome. But I have the 4-cylinder version and I haven't heard of any issues with those Motors yet. So keeping my fingers crossed because I really love driving this thing.

Way too many problems, especially the engine issues. Now with this the resale valve will be destroyed. Time for a class action law suit to go into negotiations for lemon laws.

[@godzilla7148]

Yeah the Class Action lawsuit and be added to the 50 state Transmission one!

[@BevinsBuilds]

So far the engine issue is only the six cylinders

[@IsleOfFeldspar]

My ‘01 Subaru H6 was the first model year for that engine and it’s got 200K on it now without design issues. It can be done well, just not by an American company.

[@BevinsBuilds]

First I want to say I love subarus. But american companies do it all the time as well. A big part of the problem is most people do not do proper maintenance. I have a 2012 chevy cruze. Which was its first year and have 232000 miles on it and still going strong. But if you look that car up there are a ton of class action suits about the car and its on the lemon list.

[@396375a]

In 1968 GM introduced the C3 Corvette, over the course of that model year people in cold climate states discovered that the door locks would freeze shut. The next model year GM fixed the problem, but that is why you never EVER buy the 1st, 2nd or even 3rd model year until bugs are taken out. New Bronco to me is just an ego/status boost as far as I am concerned for a lot of people.

[@JT-gp5ob]

Standard ford issues…I’ve owned 2 fords in my lifetime and will never buy again. Look nice but are always plagued with electrical issues.

[@Flydevice1]

I was going to buy a 2 door bronco but after seeing a bunch of problems with Ford vehicles now and days, engine failures at 2k miles, wiring becoming hot and fusing, and recently the giant 3 million Ford recall. I’ve been leaning to the 2 door wrangler. Don’t like look of the wrangler but seems more reliable than the bronco.

[@IsleOfFeldspar]

Jeep? Reliable? Are you high?

[@waynerichards8606]

Even though it’s Bronco it’s a new version of the SUV you have to work the bugs out so you should wait a couple years and then brought a new Bronco

[@searaydrivingguy]

100 percent

[@TWStone]

Yep. There is going to be problems our 2021 bronco that we picked up Dec.23 and then parked with a 177 miles on it because we are not planning on driving it during the winter months. Went to move it in the shop which is heated (parked for about 2 weeks) and it was dead but not completely it would not start but the headlights and some of the radio lights and a couple of the window control lights would come on and stayed on and you could not shut them off without disconnecting the battery. I checked everything you could think of and everything the dealership told me to check and no go. Its currently at the dealership where it was towed, and they said it was not going to be an easy fix. Whatever that means

[@BevinsBuilds]

Thats not good, wish you luck and hope it gets fixed.

[@IndyDog-ns8ws]

People are paying way over sticker for this. Ouch.

[@BevinsBuilds]

Yeah some are and its nuts. I got this on A plan or I would not have bought it.

[@justincarnes8517]

What was the fix for the wipers? I noticed mine slow down also I usually turn them off and back on and they seem to be ok for a bit but do it again

[@BevinsBuilds]

The dealer replaced a relay for the wipers and also recalibrated them

[@ubeuonly]

As a Ford dealer principal and hopefully my comments won't be deleted because Ford spends a lot of money doing that, it is not uncommon to throw parts at a car in my experience even though there's an obvious issue you can scan the vehicle it may have a dozen fault codes three to five of them Ford says disregard because they don't even know why they appear. This is the kind of vehicles they've been putting on the market for the last 10 years. And all we can say is stay away

I’m always afraid of first and second years of new design vehicles. Wait several years and see the problems. Let the manufacturer fix the issues. Then you can buy with confidence. People like new stuff. They rush out and buy these things thinking everything is going to be good. I’m seeing lots of Bronco issues here on KZbin. Engine failure, oil leaks. Electrical issues. Buyer be ware.

[@TheSchmed]

Yep, not a big fan of small turbo charged motors in big trucks, the 6cyl is even a small motor, 2.7L, I’d rather a larger, naturally aspirated 6, or even an 8 cyl, in such a vehicle.

You must like to piss away money because when a vehicle is under warranty yes you take it to a dealership.

[@mmichaeldonavon]

@@BevinsBuilds Even though it is under warranty, the vehicle will languish in the dealership for weeks on end. You know, still in troubleshooting - yak, yak. They'll fire the "Parts Cannon" at it. You get your "little Ford car" to drive while they have your Bronco. In the end you'll be back and back to the "Stealership" time and time again. Some fun, eh? (A little Canadian lingo there at the end.) Thanks. Note: There's NO way the dealership "techs" can troubleshoot - find - and fix a complex electronic problem in the time they are allotted for the vehicle. If you have to bring it back and back, they will work on it when they have a chance. That's why it stays on the lot. Thanks.
