Conducting the Bronco's 1st oil change at 5,003 miles at my home and the oil pan has missing or damaged pins/tabs that guide the oil plug out of and into the oil pan. When I turned the hand plug counter clockwise it did not ride out on the pans internal pins/tabs, it stayed fully seated and rotated fully to the stops. Was able to just just twist the the plug from stop to stop while fully inserted. Pulled the plug straight out and drained the oil. Once oil was drained tried feeling in the drain plug hole for any type of pin/tab that the plug is designed to guide in and out on and felt none. Did not see any damage to the plug.

my vehicle lost power on the GW bridge in NYC. It has less than 1000 miles and the power, driving at 60 mph just died. To add insult to injury Ford (24hr roadside assistance told me that there were no tow truck available at this time). When my car was finally towed, vis a vie a 3rd party, to the nearest dealership, I was told that because I didnt buy my car there, there was nothing I could do but wait a "few weeks". Ford 24 hr road side assistance really left me out to dry. I wish and am looking for ways to sue them. Luckily, my responsible dealer at Lester Glenn Ford on Rt 35 was able to assist and is making every accommodation to help. Thank goodness for them and their restless souls for helping with this. I literally have less than 1000 miles on the Badlands 2.7 V6, and when this happened, I didnt know what to do. Disappointing. But Lester Glenn is so far amazing at the response.

During normal driving conditions, vehicle went into low power mode while on the highway but was able to navigate to side of road and then into parking lot. Numerous vehicle alerts came up on monitor including powertrain malfunction/ reduce power. Dealership mechanic put a camera into engine and can see metal pieces loose in engine cavity. Still waiting for dealership to tear down engine and officially diagnosis issue but it certainly looks similar to other issues now in the news (and on NHTSA website) with this 2.7L ecoboost engine. Dealership is taking an extraordinarily long time to give me an official answer as to what the metal is from, but the photos I saw look to be similar to the valve pieces (can see threads) others have noted on the 2021 issues.

I was driving my brand new Ford 22 Bronco South on a busy 4 lane thoroughfare duing morning rush hour and an alert sounded with the AUTOSTART sign, instructing me to shift to part and restart my car. I drove until I got to a redlight, while smelling something burning and shifted to Park and presssed Start/stop button. MY car never started again. THis is with less than 500 miles. Several near by citizens came to my rescue as I was 3 lanes from the roadside gastation. Cars were whizzing by , honking, yelling. THese gentlemen risked there lives, stopping traffic. put my car in neutral while we all pushed it to a safe location. It was towed to dealership, where they replaced my starter. 2 days later I picked up my bronco and the very next morning, the EXACT same thing happened on the exam same road on my way to work. Car was towed again and now I've been told there's an indefinite back order on the parts .

I purchased this vehicle from Portsmouth Ford in Portsmouth NH on January 27, 2022. I brought the vehicle into AutoFair Ford (Manchester, NH) on March 16, 2022 as there was a rattling in the engine (at approximately 1519 Miles). I have not seen the vehicle since. The vehicle has been inspected by the mechanics at AutoFair Ford. They attempted a repair job but the sound was still present. Apparently the engine needs to be either redone or redesigned and Ford is not really giving any good answers as to even when this may be completed. The vehicle has been sitting in the dealer lot now for 50 Days and counting. I might get it back but very concerned as to what else could be wrong with this car as it has been sitting there for so long and could easily be another 5-6 weeks before this might get repaired. very concerned for what could go wrong during this incident.
