Comments
Ford seems to having a lot of recalls on the small Bronco Sport. They always seem to blame one of their contractors for manufacturing or installing vehicle parts incorrectly. That says a lot about Fords oversight of its subcontractors and quality control issues. ]
Also, why is it that Jeep has offered body colored roofs and fenders on its Wranglers for years, but Ford and its subcontractors seem incapable of making bronco roofs and fenders in any color but BLACK??
“Ford seems to having a lot of recalls on the small Bronco Sport.”
Really? I own a 2021 Bronco Sport Outer Banks with the Outer Banks package. Over 35,000 miles now. No recalls. No problems. This is just a great vehicle.
The rear brakes recently started the “howling” sound.
Better have a lot of Loaner cars, my Badlands is my only car. Just saying
