Ford Bronco Raptor Broke Down Again (Vacation Disaster)

[@CMC61]

Hey bud, its been awhile since watching your videos. I just felt like your Ford having issues like that reminded me why I no longer own Fords. You gotta remember that most vehicles have an average of more than 20 thousand parts that have to work together to keep us smiling going down the road. And the price of vehicles today, makes us less patient with hiccups. Hang in there everything's going to be alright!

[@GodspeedZRZ]

Good to hear from you, I appreciate the positive perspective! You are right, there sure are a ton of pieces that go together to make this thing work haha

[@truetothegame7]

Do you think your modifications caused the issue? Will it be covered up under warranty?

[@GodspeedZRZ]

It very well could have, or the abuse off-road I think it’s 80% likely that it will be covered at Ford!

[@TheExotich1]

The interior plastic on that Friday made machine on a nicotine and happy hour rush to the bar is telling. This is exactly what sent me back on the fence when I sat in one a couple weeks ago. The plastic just felt cheap and would have been fine in a $35k Bronco but, as I sat in that one, there was no way I could justify my $60k build.

[@GodspeedZRZ]

I can agree with you on that the plastics pretty horrible haha

[@Logan-de3xx]

I disagree entirely. Sold my Wrangler for the Bronco Raptor. Zero regrets and zero issues. Did you follow break in procedure? Or did you start hammering on it right away? I’ve seen many other engines blow. Including a bunch of V8’s man. Not sure and not accusing but I every manufacture can produce a lemon. It’s sad when it happens but personally that Bronco Raptor is rather have over the 392 any day. The Wrangler is so uncomfortable barely any room inside and handles like shit and yes for rock crawling of course Jeep all the way. To each their own.

[@GodspeedZRZ]

This thing was babied the first 100 miles 😅 after that all bets were! I like the raw experience of the 392 way more! But like you said to each their own!

@@GodspeedZRZ no seriously. It's 1k with pussyfooting it and then you do an oil change and you're set.

[@robertedwards7430]

When I purchased my Bronco Raptor I paid 3k for the factory bumper to bumper warranty, 10 years 100k miles. I followed break in protocol to 1k miles. I have almost 8k miles on it, I do not baby it, pulled my camper to Colorado and have done some pretty technical trails with zero issues. Another thing, I will never mod this vehicle, no exhaust, no tunes, no intakes, ect.

[@DUNEATV]

Never had a problem with my Jeep Rubicons…they are amazing vehicles!

[@GodspeedZRZ]

They sure are!

[@Serenityindailylife]

I had transmission issues with the 3 jeeps I owned, my 392, my gladiator and my Rubicon. They all had transmission issues. I had that restart battery go out on my 392 and rubi.

[@kambolelutanda3149]

Please do more videos about the jeep I’m a fan✊🏾

[@GodspeedZRZ]

There are definitely more on the way, thanks for watching!

[@Serenityindailylife]

Its because the 3.0 came from the explorer. They had issues in the explorer too with exhaust manifolds and turbos. My hood does it too. The acc is not working because the winch is covering the sensor.

[@GodspeedZRZ]

The ACC has been relocated

[@khalid749]

Alright… I called it. Remember the shite break in and early abuse? Welcome to the consequences. Time for my story: I started with a 392 Wrangler (second one on island here) and loved it until the engine exploded (at 3000 miles…) while idling up a small hill and blocking traffic to an entire military base… made Jeep buy that PoS back and bought a 2 door wildtrak bronco. Loved it but wanted more. Now I have my Braptor that I bought mid last year and love it. Don’t blame the manufacturer, brother. From what I’ve seen of your videos you are unusually hard on your toys. Take it to a shop to get a proper diagnostic instead of driving for hundreds of miles hoping it goes away. Good luck and I hope it’s covered under warranty or cheap to fix. I also hope it’s what you think it is and that I’m wrong.. but..

[@GodspeedZRZ]

I drove it like a grandma for the first 50-100 miles that was a good break in 😂 Now it’s broke in😅 I agree with you for the most part but what I’ve found working in the car business the last 6 years is that it’s all just luck of the draw.

[@khalid749]

I'm sorry to hear the news. However, every car / 4x4 has issues no matter what the brand is. Again, several factors also come into play. The way you break in the engine and so forth. Sometimes also electric sensor glitches occur, but that's the problem when we start introducing electrical parts and sensors, unlike the old days where things were so simple. For me, I moved from Jeep to a Ford Bronco not because I had any issues with Jeep, in-fact I have been a Jeep owner since 1996, but I just wanted something different and always liked the old school Bronco. When ford released the Bronco it ticked all the boxes I was looking for. Do I miss my 392? Yea, but I don't have any regrets moving and happy with my Bronco.

[@GodspeedZRZ]

Glad to hear your take and honest feedback, thanks for watching!

[@Petey003]

Likely a low voltage issue, a lot of manufacturers have been getting bad batteries from the factory and the low voltage sets tons of stuff off.

[@GodspeedZRZ]

I would really like for that to be the issue, that’s something I hadn’t thought of!

[@agsbk2012]

I feel your pain. Ford had to replace the engine in my 2023 Bronco Raptor at 2000 miles. Cracked head and block. Great videos, keep up the good content

[@blakemarchand6650]

Damn lol

[@GodspeedZRZ]

That’s insane! Thanks for the info and thanks for watching!

[@matrix-fh9tn]

Same thing happened to my neighbor, except at 5K miles. Engine died on the freeway. Lol. He told me so far so good after 10K, but how can he trust it? Damn is right.

[@DarylRagland-ds1op]

Lovin that Bronco man !

[@GodspeedZRZ]

Thank you!

[@blakemarchand6650]

Two things man. One, you will get a new job soon. I can tell you’re a cool guy and people like you just through my phone’s screen and Two; but absolutely ridiculous. How a 85k performance car can have those issues with your family in the car. That’s just darn right scary

[@GodspeedZRZ]

I really appreciate that, I already have one lined up for next week. You are right the issues with this thing are getting out of had haha

[@adamwagner4567]

why u need to use a jump start with a 392?

[@GodspeedZRZ]

I have a draw I can’t trace down and I only drive it once every week or two.

[@mikejautosandstuff3349]

Oh no you quit your job 😲 ?? Hopefully you find a new one very soon man!! The car business has changed big time!! Pretty much everything in today’s economy is suffering. I sold my business back in October bc I saw this ression coming lol. Well good luck to you Zac. Pretty much all vehicles manufacturerd during and after covid are hit and miss on quality and workmanship. It’s sad!! Get rid of the bronco!!! Keep 392 !!! Lol.

[@GodspeedZRZ]

Good to hear from you, you sure are right about the car business. The desk isn’t making the money it did for a while so the box seems like the right place to be. Starting at a new place next week. The Bronco isn’t a forever car, I can promise you that haha

[@TJWinter1221]

Just buy a Jeep Wrangler. The "Godspeed" edition with 38" tires! Love that Jeep! 😀

[@mattdagger1480]

Stop complaining and just take it to the dealer to fix?? I'm so confused why this video lasts so long and why you drive it so long.....

[@GodspeedZRZ]

The video last so long because I had to drive it seven hours home on a Sunday if you watched it all you would know that haha

[@brendasmith2183]

Take it to a dealer! You should not have a vehicle that expensive and have that kind of problem!! Good luck
