Early Bronco

Backed into corner of brick wall, now sensors don’t work – tire pressure monitor, blind spot detection, pre-collision assist+

I have a 2022 Ford Bronco Outer Banks. I backed into the corner of a brick wall and now pre-collision assist, blind spot detection with cross traffic warning, and a tire pressure monitor aren’t working. A different tire pressure monitor stopped working a month ago (both in the rear). Has anyone had a repair like this? Any idea how much it cost? Did you take it to a dealer or is a different mechanic ok for this sensor stuff? I don’t care about the small dent in the bumper, just the sensors…

Does the 1.5L use the same alternator assembly as the 2.0L?

Hi guys. Having trouble finding a part number for an alternator pulley. I went to the dealer and they, of course, tell me I have to purchase the ENTIRE ALTERNATOR with the pulley attached. They do however, sell the pulley for the 2.0 l engine but the computer says it’s not compatible with the 1.5 l engine.
Are they the same? Is this just BS? I’m not replacing a $60 part with a $460 alternator!
Can anyone confirm they are the same?

Heaven forbid something happened to your Bronco Sport… what are you going to get next?

The dealership where I bought my Bronco Sport from called me today saying they had a special offer for me. I know it’s marketing and I know it’s to get me to buy another car from them, but it did get me thinking.

I’m at 6.5% APR and I can’t find anyone to finance it at a better rate (my credit’s great). I’ve had the Bronco Sport for 15 months and while I’m liking it, it can get a little cramped for cargo and there are small fit and finish issues. I haven’t had any issues that most…

Installed the Rough Country 1.5 lifted struts and upgraded the OEM Continental tires to Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 245/65r17 tires (bought off eBay) … Are both upgrades, added about 3 inches… After driving a bit I’m sure it’ll be a little less than that… Offroad tire installer said the setup was perfect for the BS… That just reinforced I made the right choices… Now to get ready for trail season…

Ford App ver 6.10.0 Having Known Issues per Ford

I have noticed several issues with the Ford app ver 6.7.0 for iOS.

The first one is related to recalls and CSP. My fuel injector recall 25S76 disappeared. Also the previous CSP is gone.

Today the Ford app tells me that I have 0% left on my oil life and need an oil and filter change right away. I checked the oil life in the vehicle and it is at 11% life left.

The oil life in the vehicle and in the Ford app has always been the same.
