Early Bronco

Recent service—bummed by news

Just had our 22 BS BB in for service. 19k miles, no towing, no off-road, light normal driving and they mentioned my rear shocks are leaking and recommend to replace them. Anyone else experience this? Does warranty cover this?

Changed Brakes, Now I have a plethora of warning lights

Good morning all,

So I changed my brakes over the last few days and when I started it, it gave me a bunch of warnings, including “Hill start assist not available,” “collision assist not available,” “check brakes,” a bunch of stuff.

To take you through what I did start to finish to see what I messed up, I took the car into the shop on Saturday to have the brake fluid changed. Took them about an hour, everything was working well after, drove home fine.

On Sunday I did the rear brakes. I put…

Differential Oil (VERY CONFUSED!!!)

Hey yall; thanks for having me. My 21 badlands is at 74k miles and I’ve already had to get warranty work done for the RDU. I’m currently wanting to do oil changes on the differentials but I cannot for the life of me get a straight answer from ANYWHERE telling me if there is an alternative to the ford 75w motorcraft stuff (reeeeally trying to avoid ordering it in the mail)? I checked user manual, ChatGPT, google, YouTube, and I’ve searched thru here but I can’t figure out exactly what…

Transmission Won’t Go Into gear with Hood Open

You learn something every day. I was sitting in the Bronco waiting for Mrs. T to come out of a store when I thought I heard a strange sound from the engine. I shifted between park and drive and it sounded like it was only making the noise in drive.

I opened the hood and listened to the engine at idle in park and it sounded ok. When Mrs T finally came out I had her sit in the drivers seat and told her to start the engine and put it in drive. The shift knob wouldn’t turn and there was a…

Interesting 30 minutes

If you can handle the harsh language, it’s an interesting viewpoint.

Headlight Humm

Why would the headlight of a 2024 BB “Humm” when the engine and start switch are OFF?

Front fender fabric liner.

So noticed the front wheel well has a fabric liner, wondering if the mud flaps actually help, or there is an aftermarket plastic liner like the rear wheel well. I understand noise dampening reasons, but wheeling or snow seems not so great with a fabric liner.

’21 BS Outerbanks, Fan rattling sound on D(rive)

Hello everyone,

I’m having an issue with my 2021 Bronco Sport Outer Banks (about 80k miles).
When the vehicle is in Drive and stopped at a red light, I hear a rattling noise at idle or under ~2,000 RPM. The sound seems to be coming from the front of the vehicle, possibly the radiator / cooling fan area.

The noise goes away as soon as I start accelerating and only happens while stopped in Drive. It does not occur in Park or while driving.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have…
