The 15th of July marks a very important date for us. This is the anniversary of Jill being told that she was 100% Cancer free and the next stage can begin. The recovery from what nearly killed her not too long ago. In celebration, we will be taking our first trip away from home in almost 3 years. I would like to get to at least 700 subs by that time to celebrate one more accomplishment for her.



These videos are to notify customers of issues that have come up with the Bronco and Bronco Sport for warranty or recalls. This will be information directly from Ford via there dealership notification systems, not a 3rd party website or forums. For minor issues, we will put up a video for the following Monday or Friday.

I was at my dealer a month or two ago and one of the sales reps was talking about this. Very recent and very common issue was what he stated. He said it's not unlike the 2017-ish timeframe for info-tainment systems crapping out.

I have just started to experience this in my first edition. Worked well for a couple weeks and now the key fob has to be very close to the back door to function (front doors are better) and the car will often tell me no key detected. Unlike what the video says, if the car isn’t in gear or isn’t running with this warning the car won’t start or go into gear until it goes away. This is identical with both key fobs and new batteries in each. I’m definitely hoping they are correct about the software update being on the way.

Good thing you didn't buy a Chevy. Might get locked in your Corvette and suffocate to death.
