Three week old 2021 bronco crapped out already

Madmaxine89

Three week old 2021 bronco crapped out already. I will admit that I am on here to vent. We bought a 2021 bronco sport, I know I know it’s just a sport but it’s for my son and for some reason he is a Ford fanatic. After driving it for three weeks a short distance to work it’s buttered to a stop, had to be towed to the dealership. After sitting in the dealership for a week they now believe it’s transmission related and can’t diagnose it any further without removing the entire transmission. So much for having a new vehicle. I can’t believe that they feel it’s acceptable to have to rip aoart a brand new vehicle. I’m sorry but once it’s been pulled apart by a bunch of mechanics it is definitely not fresh off the showroom floor. So does it make sense to anybody here that they would have to rip the entire transmission out in order to just diagnose a problem? What happened to all the fancy computer Diagnostics? So how would any of you all feel if your brand newly delivered bronco of whatever level crapped out and had to be torn apart within the first month of ownership. No apologies no nothing from either the dealership or Ford. Actually they’re annoyed that we are calling to find out what’s going on so much.

I'd be disappointed, but I'd rather have a repaired or replaced transmission now than one that crapped out right out of warranty; glass half-full :)

I feel your pain , but I was a master certified tech 28 years and this is reason for a warranty, what you need to remember is this product is new to you as well as Ford and unfortunately things don’t move as fast as we would like. Most likely the dealer is working with Ford for a solution, a replacement transmission and yours will go back and be torn down to find faulty part/s. I would always tell customers to avoid the 1st year of a new product. I’m waiting on a 22MY for that very reason. Hopefully they put you in a loaner if not reach out and request one .

My 96 GMC Jimmy after their redesign went through 3 transmissions before they got it solved LOL

And I have had good luck with Fords the only one I ever had problems with is an 04 and I still have it. But the problem has been replaced with a Cummins.

Pretty tough to have the glass half full when you paid over 30 grand for a car that immediately needs major work, But thanks for the positive outlook

Amazing, never thought the trans would have to be pulled for running out of gas.
