Numerous suspension issues, leaking roofs, overheating of the engine, loose wires/cables, the cylinder deactivation isn't very good and will likely lead to problems, and a ton of various other engine problems. I could go on but you get the point.

Keep in mind, these are still basically brand new vehicles and they've been littered with major issues. What's it going to be like 4-5 years from now?

 

It's not junk, but a barely one-year-old vehicle that already has 32 reported cases of engine failure is pretty abnormal, not just some teething issue. Reminds me of the disastrous launch of the Aviator/Explorer that MM mentioned.

 

oh man… you’ve literally just done a half-assed google search to find these “problems”, haven’t you…How do I know? The Bronco doesn’t have cylinder deactivation. The Bronco Sport does, but that’s a totally different vehicle on a totally different platform with totally different engines…

very happy with mine so far, and mine isn’t (currently) on the watchlist for the valve issue as mine is a 2022. It seems, but time will tell, that one batch of valves were bad and that’s causing the failure on a limited number of 2021 units.

 

Yeah, I wouldn't call the Bronco junk. Kind of stepped in it there...

 

You guys need to do some real research. Face it, the thing was built horribly.

 

You have to really think about it before making these types of statements, especially when it's so public and on the internet forever. Just some friendly advice

 

You are just completely off base here lol

 

I just have ask...how did you react when Toyota recalled 44,000 2019 and 2020 Camry's, Avalon's and Rav4's over engine cracks? Engines had to be totalled replaced:

Did you make a broad statement that they were built horribly? I would guess not and even bet there was not a peep

 

Ecoboost is gonna Ecoboost, this is somewhat normal for the 2.7 in general. The 3.5 is far better but still has it's usual issues, this will be fixed as they always have been when they roll out one of these in any car.

 

LOL at telling others to do real research when you bring up "widespread problems" with features that the vehicle isn't even equipped with.

I hear the Tacoma is a disaster, what with the hybrid batteries exploding all the time....

 

Ford has always built a dam good truck in my opinion.

Gimme one of these new Broncos full size or a King Ranch Extra Cab Dually and no complaining from me...

Add- I have no practical use for either one these days but I like toys too and I can dream...

 

Ford, GM and Chrysler have always built good trucks. In fact its amazed me how good they are.

 

Oh for sure, no doubt about it!

I've owned all three in 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, and 1 ton and they are true "beasts of burden" IMHO.

 

Like, Chrysler can't make a minivan that can stay out of the shop, but a Ram truck? Flawless.

 

The minivans are FWD-oriented, while the pickups are RWD oriented. FWD vehicles, in general, tend to have less-robust and less-durable underpinnings and drivetrains, particularly when they carry heavy loads like minivans often do.
