2021 Bronco
Badlands 2.7/Sasquatch package
Mileage 3049
The engine took a crap on December 30th on my way home. Almost to a complete stop at a light and it locked up. It went straight to the dealer and I don’t have a full diagnosis as of 01/13/22. This sucks to say the least and this is likely a full engine replacement.
Anyone else going through this?
How long did it take to get an engine replacement?
Did they adjust the warranty or did they just hand you the keys back and say good luck?
Any inform is appreciated
Afternoon update:
My bad for not replying immediately to everyone’s response, I was working to pay for my Bronco. I added my information to 6g under the same Slosh1 name. I was hopeful someone would give me useful information. I am aware of the alleged valve issues but haven’t actually seen any pictures or lab analysis identifying the root cause. The biggest frustration as you know is waiting forever to get a car you have been waiting for what seems forever and it takes a shit. Not to mention I handed over 20k for the down payment I’ve been saving for a long while.
I still look forward to any constructive help my fellow Bronco enthusiasts may have to offer.
Update 1/18/22: Contacted another Ford rep and they are now corresponding directly with the dealer (Autonation). Still being told “next in line” for engine tear down and diagnosis.
update 01/21/2022: My bronco is still sitting Autonation since December with no progress.
update 01/27/2022: My bronco is still sitting Autonation since December with no progress.
update 02/03/2022: Finally got the Bronco in the engine bay for diagnosis today. So far they have found metal shavings in the transmission oil.
