Workers can be last to hear this kind of news sometimes, I've worked at some large companies. Road & Track and others ran the story March 22. Google search "ford pauses manual bronco production".
I also have a 2022 base/Sas 2.7 2/dr. auto, it's been great love it, only wish I would get better mpg getting around 18.5 but with those 35 tires I should not be too surprised. You are right about 2.7 motors with bad valves, they used a vender in Ohio for these valves sent to Ford in April 2021 only had about 60 blown engines out of thousands sold, This is my 2nd Bronco I bought one a 67 when I came back from the war in Vietnam, this one is so much nicer, the 67 drove like a truck this 22 like a sports car, but I do wish I would have keep that 67 with the 289 engine. Fords have never let me down, only Chevs have giving me troubles. Over all I think Toyota makes the best trouble free auto on the market today, I have a 05 SR5 tundra 4x4 my wife has a Rav/4 never had any problems, only got 43k on the Tundra, on the 1st gen Tundra with the 4.7 motor owners are getting one million miles with just proper maint.
Mid 70's vehicles had carbs, air pumps and 20 feet of vacuum hoses in California. Mid 80's introduced EFI. I had a '89 Chevy 3500 with early TBI injection. It ran like a top and never failed me.
I wouldn't. I've owned a 1971, 1985, and 1992 Broncos. The new one is far superior to any of them. The 1971 was noisy, rough riding, had manual steering, manual brakes, and an AM only radio. On a good day, it got 15.5 mpg. For 1970 technology, that was fine but not for 2023.
Just traded my 21 bronco in for a Tacoma. I just didn't trust the Ecoboost 2.7 and it was built just outside the window of valve issues. It is a pretty vehicle but Tacoma's are proven. It's nice to have peace of mind. Thanks Scotty!
@@ubeuonly the bronco was awesome off-road for sure. Your right, two totally different vehicles. I was barely using it what it was meant for and with all the issues and recalls I've had in the time I owned it just made sense to trade for something a little more reliable and practical for my needs. My Tacoma is definitely not an offroader.
We had a 2022 Bronco Black Diamond with the 2.7 in it. It had a lot of power and was zippy, but it just felt really cheap for how much it was. I thought it looked great but longer drives felt more like a chore. We traded it for a Mazda CX-50 Meridian Package and we won't look back.
You went with a Black Diamond that has a washout rubberized floor, marine grade vinyl seats and is made for off-roading and traded it in towards a more Luxory style vehicle with “off road capabilities”, did you not know what you were getting with the Bronco? As for cheap, I would assume you are referring to the interior, sadly I have to say that more and more new vehicles coming with cheaper materials. I work in a shop and just the other day a brand new Toyota tundra seemed like they put let into it than one 5 years older. Anyway enjoy your Mazda.
They're shutting the USA production plant down for retooling, because the Ranger and the (big) Bronco share the same platform, similar to the Expedition and the F-150. Thus it makes sense to make them both in the same factory. The (small) Bronco Sport from Mexico shares its platform with the Escape, so it would do no good to retool the Mexican factory.
Everytime I watch one of Scotty's videos, It makes me appreciate the engineering & simplicity of my old, 4cyl. camry. i don't care that it's boring, it's cheap to own, and starts every time! It survived 9mos as a delivery vehicle driving 120+mi./day. m and it already had 210k mi., I changed the ATF & Filter, coil packs & plugs, air filter, tires, Brake pads & rotors, and oil & filter immediately after I bought it for $2k in 2020, and I've stayed on top of the oil changes since. needless to say, it still runs like a clock that still get really good gas mileage😆😆😆
Mechanically simple easy to work on cars like that don't exist anymore. I'm holding on to my 2001 4 cyl Tacoma. I also appreciate the engineering and simplicity.
@Patrick O'Brien Indeed I do! I recently changed the oil again, but this time, I measured in 2 cans of seafoam with it to clean out the internals. I'll probably only run this batch for a 1k mi. or 2k instead of the usual 5k inverval. And it's running even better than it did before😆😆😆 Plus they sell the OEM Oil filters for toyota at walmart where I usually buy my oil anyways. I usually don't like pennzoil, but I have to admit, their high mileage synthetic with pure plus technology derived from natural gas instead of crude works so well! I ran the pennzoil synthetic '95 accord that had almost 300k. I took it in to get the valves adjusted, and the technician said the valvetrain & cams was so clean & new looking, he couldn't tell that it was a high mileage engine😆😆😆. When I changed the coilpacks & plugs, I made sure they were OEM also: Denso & NGK. That old camry has been a dream to own. I'm in my 40's, and it'll probably out live me😆😆
I run AGM do to they csn be mounted asny way you want. They dont spill easy! In an off road truck built to go fast & smooth and handle steep slopes & can handle surprise jumps you do not want Batery acid spilling it destroys wires & more!
All this stuff he is citing is old news. They had shut down new orders of the MY23 Bronco’s and just opened the order banks back up for a limited amount of time with very limited models and options. That is because they are clearing all of the old backlog of reservations and orders. All of this has been known for months. Tons of people who thought they were gonna have to remove options have been getting notified of being pulled for build with all of the options.
Damn, the Broncos Raptor was my favorite car at the auto show. I'm one of those people who always say"I'd never spend 100k on ONE car" but the Raptor Bronco made me rethink that.
@@ubeuonly I know but I was just overwhelmed by the " cool" factor and I'm rarely overwhelmed. But yeah, even if I'd have to have 10 million to spend 100k on ONE vehicle.
Scotty,bad advice on the toggle switch to the compressor on the Honda Fit.The A/C fans won't come on,and you can overheat the whole system resulting in component failures.
Hi Scotty. I was just curious where you got your information from about Bronco production shutdown? I work at the plant that manufactures those models along side of the Ranger and I have not heard this news. I asked around to managers and execs and there are not even rumors amongst the company of production shutting down. Thanks Scotty! By the way, I like your videos and content. Been viewing your videos for a few years now. 😉
@@carspot9778 yeah I could understand that. However, here we are 10 days later from the time of this video release and production is still going strong with no end in sight as far as a shutdown.
I have a 2021 Ford Bronco Badlands w/ sasquatch package 2.7L TT. I bought it New 7 miles on it . And now I have 30k miles on it at the time of this post. Let me tell you i haven't had a problem with my Bronco and wouldn't hesitate to buy ten more. To date, it's the only real American off-road vehicle made today, and Ford still hasn't taken any bail out money from the American people 🇺🇲
@@rrf6747 Yeah DOD / cylinder deactivation is a big problem with GM and Dodge V8 engines equipped with it. An obd2 module is the cheapest solution if available otherwise it's HP Tuners and removing / replacing engine components (which still requires a tune). My brother's 2014 Challenger RT has it and he has to manually shift the automatic in order to bypass it until he tunes it out. "Hemi tick" mainly caused by it.
I live in the New York tri state area and I'm seeing alot of new Broncos around. They look good, but I feel sorry for the crap these people will have to go through as time passes.
@@eskimocheeks9911 Having alot of mechanical and electrical problems. Check out Scotty Kilmer's channel for Bronco info. He has ALOT to say. Others too. But he's ok. Pretty much been on point with mechanical defects in new cars.
Mr. Scotty - could you please do a top 10 of best vehicles if the country is faced with major trade issue/major conflict, or at least significant import limitations. Thank you much
If the pump and filter are in the tank, how would you save money just changing the filter, put it all back in and find out it's the pump. That would mean you would have to pay again to have tank removed to change the pump. If the filter was of the type you show, it would make complete sense to change the filter first.
Many older cars have the fuel filter accessible under the car or engine bay which can easily be replaced. For example all Toyota Tacoma's up to 2015 have it under the truck along the frame.
He has an axe to grind. The valve problem was with a small percentage of specific engines. Thousands of people have great Broncos that are reliable... and I'm one of them
So are you telling me that my bronco that I ordered, scheduled for build on the 27th of this month, is "NOT" going to be built ? Since my dealer just got the email last week and informed me, I'm inclined to believe them
Glad I built an old Full Size Bronco! into a long suspension travel on King Shocks with a built internal balanced engine & a drivetrain newer bodu in front. Gears & Lockers Trans TRans case ALT stereo Lights winch etc.. It rides rough off road fast like a cadillac!
I meanwhile am driving a 2016 Ford Escape with a 1.6L Ecoboost with only 85,000 miles! I bought it less than a month ago when it had 82,000 miles and it’s been running like a champ! It feels weird to say I’m old school in this case as the Broncos are failing.
If you have a hard top on your bronco, check the driver and passenger side rear affixed windows for leaks. Mine had some light trickling on both sides and my warranty covered the repair (it was around 2800 miles) the tech was saying the adhesive or primer ford uses wasn't applied properly and would wear out fast.
It was a highly anticipated vehicle that didn’t live up to expectations. I had an original Bronco,302 engine. It was a brute. Paid $4500.00 for it,so I could take it 4 wheeling without worrying about scratches.
I leased a car for three years to bridge the gap from when that Bronco was released. Kept my old Jeep for the weekend toy. But once the Bronco came out I was selling the jeep and buying one. Bronco came out a year or more late and had crazy markups. Independent front suspension made it more of a 4Runner competitor than Wrangler competition. Of course that doesn’t hold up off-road. I can buy a Rubicon fully loaded for what the base Broncos are marked up too. Lame. But you know what? Jeep can go pound sand too. The similar Wrangler I looked at for $37k two years ago is $47k. I’ll just keep running the old girl. Tough as nails and goes anywhere.
Scotty, you want to tell people that live in the south areas like Ohio where I live to get their cars oil sprayed they do inside the doors inside the quarter panels and of course the whole bottom of the vehicle. I’m driving an 03 Chevy Silverado that looks like it did the day I bought it.
I think they start making the next model year in July or Aug. Don't they usually shut down their assembly lines the first couple of weeks of July? I would think they would start the next model year when they start back up.
It was common to hear people dropping in different engines in the old days by just using different motor mounts and adapters. Like, the 327 Chevy Vegas
There are a ton of things driving the pause in production at many plants. Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers are having issues getting part made and materials from lower tier vendors. Not sure about this axe grinding.
It's only a problem the other way around. If the car was designed with AGM then you shouldn't replace with lead acid. Upgrading lead acid to AGM is fine
just got my 2dr manual base bronco from the dealership for vacuum brake booster issue. so far so good. i love the thing but yeah its got it problems. once you get those gremlins out its freaking great.
Hello, I just watched the video about the Ford bronco production being stopped.Then you started talking about batteries and you recommended AGM can be put into any car. However, the Lexus LS430 is very specific about the battery and I am wondering if an AGM battery can be put into this car? Also I read that the cold cranking amps must be the same as the OEM battery which is a paltry 530 if I'm not mistaken. I was told not to put a higher cold cranking amp battery into this vehicle. When I replace a battery in my cars I always put the highest cold cranking amps I can get. Can you shed some light on which battery for this vehicle. These were 2001 through 2006.
Scotty I have a 2008 Chrysler Pacifica with a 128k and I've had 2 different mechanics look at it and both say the transmission is bad!! So when I drive it it shift's great " but sometimes when I get in it and start it I can only due 30mph but sometimes it runs great. But when it does act up the check engine light will come on and my radiator fan immediately runs even when cold I had the transmission cooler lines replaced"$475" and it didn't fix the problem. I can unhook the battery and leave it unplugged for 30-45 minutes and it runs beautiful until I shut it off and restart it?!? Any ideas what it could be?
Cheaper,cheaper, cheaper, is all the auto manufacturers care about until it bites them back, they tell there suppliers to make it as cheap as possible, there only goal is just make it out of warranty in hopes you’ll just buy another new car, wash, rinse repeat. The 2.7 eco boost has been around for years, now valve problems? No cheaper valves, cost, cost, cost. At these prices for new vehicles, and the huge bonuses the automaker employees get, there product should be bulletproof.
My neighbor’s Avalanche was doing the same thing the Equinox Scotty described was doing. I told him to tell the mechanic to swap out the computer. After 2 months of trying different things, he finally did. It was the computer. My 95 Honda Accord was doing the same thing. After a new computer, it ran like it was brand new. This was after I swapped out the fuel filter, distributor, coils, spark plugs, etc.
I had a 99 Trans Am and it would idle terribly sometimes when it rained. Shop replaced the computer and it fixed the problem. It was an expensive fix because they also had to take it to the dealer to program the vin and everything
As strange as it is, I heard from every mechanic I know that the Bronco sport built in Mexico was more reliable than the regular Bronco built in Michigan. Ford needs to get their crap together ASAP!
Mexican workers consider working at an auto plant a cherished job. They can be fired for insubordination and poor performance unlike UAW workers. I've had two Rams assembled in Saltillo. Never a rattle or misfitting part.
I think with every new location, it takes time to build quality. I think Scotty might be stuck in the pass on this one. Ford on the other hand needs to quit trying to make 10 bucks on a cent product.
Another vehicle like the Bronco that is less than the sum of its parts and not ready for primetime. Anyone with any marketing skill could have forecast the failure of that platform and the abuse that it would take online for being substandard
Crazy with how many issues these new Broncos have had you see so many of them on the road. The Ford die hards are passionate and it seems to make them turn a blind eye to Fords massive decline in quality the last decade or so.
Scotty, when you were giving advice to check the fuel pressure, and no codes are showing, I had almost the same problem. Just a different vehicle. It turned out it was a camshaft sensor that decided to go south for the winter. Could it possibly be a cam sensor or a crank sensor?
I remember 70s trucks being tough as hell and still around today.. You don't need no damn computer on a motor. You can buy a big rig dirt cheap too. Because you're taking someone else's problem, DEF... Motors can't run on piss and computer chips
Scotty, I am having electrical problems with the gauge cluster, interior reading lights, 2010 Jeep Patriot. Problem started with front reading lights above the dash flashing when I use the right turn signal. Now, as I start the vehicle, all the dash lights flash then go off completely, except for the odometer lamp. No rear tail lights, but rear signals work. Strange. I suspect bad system ground, but what do you think.
OMG!!! Say it isn’t so? Cuz it isn’t. That’s why you can order one. STILL. And if you can’t they paused ordering to catch up on backlog of orders. The 2.7 has been around for awhile. And yes like all brands you get some bugs. Move along
CAR MANUFACTURERS NEED TO LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHEN TRYING TO BRING BACK OLD SUCCESSFUL VEHICLES! WE BASICALLY WANT: THE SAME CAR; APPEARANCE, DIMENSIONS... BUT MODERN LUXURIES LIKE CRUISE CONTROL, LED LIGHTS INSTEAD OF INCANDESCENT, DISC BRAKES INSTEAD OF DRUMS, FUEL INJECTED INSTEAD OF CARBURETED. IT'S THAT EASY 👐 NO INSANELY DRAMATIC BODY CHANGES
I own a 22 Bronco Wildtrak and have no issues. Not a single one. It's so funny how people jump on the bandwagon. Have you ever been to a Honda dealerships service department? It's amazing that you never see any Hondas getting repaired. Lol 😂😂 they run on fairy dust and sunshine.
As an engineer, I believe it is due to the bean counters or bad management. It could be bad engineering, but driven by bad management or bean counters. Joe
On that 2012 equinox I don't think they have a fuel filter but my 2012 GMC Terrain was doing the same thing and after a year it finally threw a code and it was the front camshaft position sensor they have 2
Trump looked a little down-n-out from the that picture taken in court today. Only because his attorneys told him to keep his mouth shut. LOL! Back on topic... I don't see a lot of Broncos where I live. I'm surprised, it is a city with millions of people. Hopefully I can find a low mile 2 door with a bad engine. Eventually, the aftermarket will produce a wiring harness for a V8. Back it up with a manual transmission for some fun!
As a heads up alot of newer cars depending on manufacturer around the year 2000 and up does not have a fuel filter. Unless it's a diesel than it's going to have a fuel filter.

Always had good luck with the 150 trucks, it's a shame you can no longer rely on Ford to make a dependable vehicle.
The F-150’s from the 90’s seemed to be about bulletproof. 300 straight six and 302’s were awesome engines.
It is not only ford every automaker out there has problems even toyota
Those D.E.I hires don’t seem to be working out too well for Ford

The (small) Bronco Sport from Mexico shares its platform with the Escape, so it would do no good to retool the Mexican factory.
If I recall the Maverick is made in the same plant in Mexico. And yet Ford can’t produce enough Mavericks. So I’d think that factory is swamped.

Tons of people who thought they were gonna have to remove options have been getting notified of being pulled for build with all of the options.
Damn, the Broncos Raptor was my favorite car at the auto show. I'm one of those people who always say"I'd never spend 100k on ONE car" but the Raptor Bronco made me rethink that.
It's just not worth it.... The quality just isn't there..
Sit in it and you'll come to your senses
It will look good on a tow truck lol
@@ubeuonly I know but I was just overwhelmed by the " cool" factor and I'm rarely overwhelmed. But yeah, even if I'd have to have 10 million to spend 100k on ONE vehicle.
Now you'll pay 150k-200k at a Mecum or Barret Jackson auction for one
Scotty,bad advice on the toggle switch to the compressor on the Honda Fit.The A/C fans won't come on,and you can overheat the whole system resulting in component failures.
Hi Scotty. I was just curious where you got your information from about Bronco production shutdown? I work at the plant that manufactures those models along side of the Ranger and I have not heard this news. I asked around to managers and execs and there are not even rumors amongst the company of production shutting down. Thanks Scotty! By the way, I like your videos and content. Been viewing your videos for a few years now. 😉
they aren't making base models, everglades and other trim levels he probably meant that.
wouldn't be surprised if they never mentioned it to you. it's a means of manipulating emotions
@@carspot9778 yeah I could understand that. However, here we are 10 days later from the time of this video release and production is still going strong with no end in sight as far as a shutdown.
I have a 2021 Ford Bronco Badlands w/ sasquatch package 2.7L TT. I bought it New 7 miles on it . And now I have 30k miles on it at the time of this post. Let me tell you i haven't had a problem with my Bronco and wouldn't hesitate to buy ten more. To date, it's the only real American off-road vehicle made today, and Ford still hasn't taken any bail out money from the American people 🇺🇲
My 2021 Bronco is one of my favorite cars. My 2015 GMC / Chevy 1500 pickup lifters failed at 50K miles my brothers Chevy did too.
Displacement on demand?
Cylinder deactivation?
@@rrf6747 Yeah DOD / cylinder deactivation is a big problem with GM and Dodge V8 engines equipped with it. An obd2 module is the cheapest solution if available otherwise it's HP Tuners and removing / replacing engine components (which still requires a tune). My brother's 2014 Challenger RT has it and he has to manually shift the automatic in order to bypass it until he tunes it out. "Hemi tick" mainly caused by it.
I live in the New York tri state area and I'm seeing alot of new Broncos around. They look good, but I feel sorry for the crap these people will have to go through as time passes.
like what
@@eskimocheeks9911 Having alot of mechanical and electrical problems.
Check out Scotty Kilmer's channel for Bronco info. He has ALOT to say. Others too. But he's ok. Pretty much been on point with mechanical defects in new cars.
Mr. Scotty - could you please do a top 10 of best vehicles if the country is faced with major trade issue/major conflict, or at least significant import limitations.
Thank you much
If the pump and filter are in the tank, how would you save money just changing the filter, put it all back in and find out it's the pump. That would mean you would have to pay again to have tank removed to change the pump. If the filter was of the type you show, it would make complete sense to change the filter first.

ᴛʜᴀɴᴋs ғᴏʀ ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜɪɴɢ!
Many older cars have the fuel filter accessible under the car or engine bay which can easily be replaced.
For example all Toyota Tacoma's up to 2015 have it under the truck along the frame.
He has an axe to grind. The valve problem was with a small percentage of specific engines. Thousands of people have great Broncos that are reliable... and I'm one of them
Yes you have a point! He does this a bunch, old Scotty has a shed full of axes!
American car manufacturers are just not up to par and that’s the truth. They’ve been lacking for decades now and that cannot be denied.
Come back in 10 years, Then we can talk about reliability.
3 + years is considered long-term reliability. 90 days is considered initial quality.
I just watched this from MY23, 2 door Badland 2.7l, with SAS and lux. Hmmm def feel bad for people still waiting. It’s an awesome truck to play with.
So are you telling me that my bronco that I ordered, scheduled for build on the 27th of this month, is "NOT" going to be built ? Since my dealer just got the email last week and informed me, I'm inclined to believe them
They're only shutting down for a couple weeks and I believe it's in July.
I have a 2000 toyota 4 runner 279k miles 5 inch lift 33 inch tires still gets 18 mpg !
Glad I built an old Full Size Bronco! into a long suspension travel on King Shocks with a built internal balanced engine & a drivetrain newer bodu in front. Gears & Lockers Trans TRans case ALT stereo Lights winch etc.. It rides rough off road fast like a cadillac!
I've always been told to check the fuel filter and never once was the no start was because of a clogged fuel filter.
Damn. I'll never get that minute and 12 seconds back. That opinion and voice. My 22 Wildtrak is awesome! No issues, none.
Do you know what I miss the most under the hood? The trans dipstick. I almost forgot. A reliable engine too
AI has determined that humans can't check their own trans levels.
From 1:33, I had that fuel problem with an old car. It had turned out to be vapor lock. The fuel line was routed too close to a hot exhaust manifold
I meanwhile am driving a 2016 Ford Escape with a 1.6L Ecoboost with only 85,000 miles! I bought it less than a month ago when it had 82,000 miles and it’s been running like a champ!
It feels weird to say I’m old school in this case as the Broncos are failing.
Umm, aren’t they just shutting down production of those specific models? Still alot of Broncos going down the line.
Did you watch the video? He said that.
@@Tontisimo I’m sorry, but the way he was saying things it made it sound like they were shutting down all production.
There's about 1,000 BRONCO's sitting up in storage at YIP Airport, still waiting for parts.
If you have a hard top on your bronco, check the driver and passenger side rear affixed windows for leaks. Mine had some light trickling on both sides and my warranty covered the repair (it was around 2800 miles) the tech was saying the adhesive or primer ford uses wasn't applied properly and would wear out fast.

It was a highly anticipated vehicle that didn’t live up to expectations. I had an original Bronco,302 engine. It was a brute. Paid $4500.00 for it,so I could take it 4 wheeling without worrying about scratches.
I leased a car for three years to bridge the gap from when that Bronco was released. Kept my old Jeep for the weekend toy. But once the Bronco came out I was selling the jeep and buying one. Bronco came out a year or more late and had crazy markups. Independent front suspension made it more of a 4Runner competitor than Wrangler competition. Of course that doesn’t hold up off-road. I can buy a Rubicon fully loaded for what the base Broncos are marked up too. Lame. But you know what? Jeep can go pound sand too. The similar Wrangler I looked at for $37k two years ago is $47k. I’ll just keep running the old girl. Tough as nails and goes anywhere.
idk why they dont put the 3.3 liter naturally aspirated in the bronco and ranger. i guess it makes too much sense
Scotty, you want to tell people that live in the south areas like Ohio where I live to get their cars oil sprayed they do inside the doors inside the quarter panels and of course the whole bottom of the vehicle. I’m driving an 03 Chevy Silverado that looks like it did the day I bought it.
ohio is NOT the south lmao. we do not and will never claim the midwest
I live in Colorado Springs, CO. I see all kinds of off-road vehicles. The one thing I've yet to see...a dirty Ford Bronco.
Lol you're right. Every bronco I've seen has been spotless
You can't toggle switch the AC compressor 🤦 The high an low side need to monitored to avoid blowing up the compressor.
Tesla called right after the news looking to rent production space. What a troll!😮
I think they start making the next model year in July or Aug. Don't they usually shut down their assembly lines the first couple of weeks of July? I would think they would start the next model year when they start back up.
It was common to hear people dropping in different engines in the old days by just using different motor mounts and adapters. Like, the 327 Chevy Vegas
I was going to buy several Broncos for myself and people I know. My Powerball numbers haven’t paid off yet…
The Equinox maybe the fuel rail, happened too me twice
There are a ton of things driving the pause in production at many plants. Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers are having issues getting part made and materials from lower tier vendors.
Not sure about this axe grinding.
i recently bought a 88 bronco ii, i have to get it towed 3 times in the past 2 months I've had it, looks cool, gets compliments but unreliable!!!
They were carb'd with air pumps and a slew of vacuum hoses. It's a 40 yr old vehicle.
The chevy equinox does not have a fuel filter.i had an inline cartridge one put in my 13 3.6.
I was under the impression that the charging system doesn't work properly when you replace the lead-acid with an AGM battery.
Nope. Threw agm batteries in 3 different cars none complained. From 2000- 2013
I put a new AGM in my 2002 lexus andbit does just fine
It's only a problem the other way around. If the car was designed with AGM then you shouldn't replace with lead acid.
Upgrading lead acid to AGM is fine
To be fair My ecoboost expedition has never given me any problems and it’s high mileage as well.
Actually, the vehicles coming out of the Hermosillo Mexico plant have a higher build quality than any of Fords domestic plants.
Mr. Kilmer could you do a video on buying beater cars? Thank you.
just got my 2dr manual base bronco from the dealership for vacuum brake booster issue. so far so good. i love the thing but yeah its got it problems. once you get those gremlins out its freaking great.
You shouldn't have to get the gremlins out of a new vehicle.
Hello, I just watched the video about the Ford bronco production being stopped.Then you started talking about batteries and you recommended AGM can be put into any car. However, the Lexus LS430 is very specific about the battery and I am wondering if an AGM battery can be put into this car? Also I read that the cold cranking amps must be the same as the OEM battery which is a paltry 530 if I'm not mistaken. I was told not to put a higher cold cranking amp battery into this vehicle. When I replace a battery in my cars I always put the highest cold cranking amps I can get. Can you shed some light on which battery for this vehicle. These were 2001 through 2006.
Scotty I have a 2008 Chrysler Pacifica with a 128k and I've had 2 different mechanics look at it and both say the transmission is bad!! So when I drive it it shift's great " but sometimes when I get in it and start it I can only due 30mph but sometimes it runs great. But when it does act up the check engine light will come on and my radiator fan immediately runs even when cold I had the transmission cooler lines replaced"$475" and it didn't fix the problem. I can unhook the battery and leave it unplugged for 30-45 minutes and it runs beautiful until I shut it off and restart it?!? Any ideas what it could be?
HELLO,
I HAVE A 2012 FUSION SE, POWER STEERING JUST GAVE OUT. SHOULD I REPAIR IT OR SELL THE VEHICLE?
Cheaper,cheaper, cheaper, is all the auto manufacturers care about until it bites them back, they tell there suppliers to make it as cheap as possible, there only goal is just make it out of warranty in hopes you’ll just buy another new car, wash, rinse repeat. The 2.7 eco boost has been around for years, now valve problems? No cheaper valves, cost, cost, cost. At these prices for new vehicles, and the huge bonuses the automaker employees get, there product should be bulletproof.
My neighbor’s Avalanche was doing the same thing the Equinox Scotty described was doing. I told him to tell the mechanic to swap out the computer. After 2 months of trying different things, he finally did. It was the computer. My 95 Honda Accord was doing the same thing. After a new computer, it ran like it was brand new. This was after I swapped out the fuel filter, distributor, coils, spark plugs, etc.
I had a 99 Trans Am and it would idle terribly sometimes when it rained.
Shop replaced the computer and it fixed the problem. It was an expensive fix because they also had to take it to the dealer to program the vin and everything
It’s a shame they didn’t just power them with a 302 V8. Would have sounded great and run forever.
As strange as it is, I heard from every mechanic I know that the Bronco sport built in Mexico was more reliable than the regular Bronco built in Michigan. Ford needs to get their crap together ASAP!
Mexican workers consider working at an auto plant a cherished job. They can be fired for insubordination and poor performance unlike UAW workers. I've had two Rams assembled in Saltillo. Never a rattle or misfitting part.
I think with every new location, it takes time to build quality. I think Scotty might be stuck in the pass on this one. Ford on the other hand needs to quit trying to make 10 bucks on a cent product.
Next up to go belly up, the lightning/ all electric trucks.
Another vehicle like the Bronco that is less than the sum of its parts and not ready for primetime. Anyone with any marketing skill could have forecast the failure of that platform and the abuse that it would take online for being substandard
Hi Scotty, I am planning to buy a full size suv, which one should I go for 2023 sequoia or 2023 expedition max.
I will appreciate your help. Thank you
Crazy with how many issues these new Broncos have had you see so many of them on the road. The Ford
die hards are passionate and it seems to make them turn a blind eye to Fords massive decline in quality the last decade or so.
Guarantee this shutdown of manuals coincides with TSB 22-2371 for the defective MT-88 transmissions…
Well the line was shut down to prepare for the new Ranger pickup. They will both run on the same line.
Scotty, when you were giving advice to check the fuel pressure, and no codes are showing, I had almost the same problem. Just a different vehicle. It turned out it was a camshaft sensor that decided to go south for the winter. Could it possibly be a cam sensor or a crank sensor?
My 2023 2D 7-speed manual 2.3 Ecoboost us great - just got more rare.
I remember 70s trucks being tough as hell and still around today.. You don't need no damn computer on a motor. You can buy a big rig dirt cheap too. Because you're taking someone else's problem, DEF... Motors can't run on piss and computer chips
Well, they're breaking when actually going off road. Better have a good tow insurance. Weak front ends.
I tried googling on this subject and I couldn’t find anything on said Bronco shutdown. Any link?
That cone looked like a great cold air intake.
Scotty, I am having electrical problems with the gauge cluster, interior reading lights, 2010 Jeep Patriot. Problem started with front reading lights above the dash flashing when I use the right turn signal. Now, as I start the vehicle, all the dash lights flash then go off completely, except for the odometer lamp. No rear tail lights, but rear signals work. Strange. I suspect bad system ground, but what do you think.

Other day I saw a Jeep with a sticker saying "Bronco rescuer"
Wow ! You are a Master Scotty! 🙏
OMG!!! Say it isn’t so? Cuz it isn’t. That’s why you can order one. STILL.
And if you can’t they paused ordering to catch up on backlog of orders.
The 2.7 has been around for awhile.
And yes like all brands you get some bugs.
Move along

so why don't Toyota and Honda have such problems? and have few new vehicles on their lots.
CAR MANUFACTURERS NEED TO LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHEN TRYING TO BRING BACK OLD SUCCESSFUL VEHICLES! WE BASICALLY WANT: THE SAME CAR; APPEARANCE, DIMENSIONS... BUT MODERN LUXURIES LIKE CRUISE CONTROL, LED LIGHTS INSTEAD OF INCANDESCENT, DISC BRAKES INSTEAD OF DRUMS, FUEL INJECTED INSTEAD OF CARBURETED. IT'S THAT EASY 👐 NO INSANELY DRAMATIC BODY CHANGES
I own a 22 Bronco Wildtrak and have no issues. Not a single one. It's so funny how people jump on the bandwagon.
Have you ever been to a Honda dealerships service department? It's amazing that you never see any Hondas getting repaired. Lol 😂😂 they run on fairy dust and sunshine.
As an engineer, I believe it is due to the bean counters or bad management. It could be bad engineering, but driven by bad management or bean counters. Joe
Saw a bronco commercial right before this video. Weird.
Hey Scotty but those unions in motor city get paid well for nothing.
I looked at a Bronco and realized I had more storage space in my 2011 Chevy HHR.
What a heap of garbage these auto makers are putting out now. If you got something reliable just keep on driving it.

2012 Equinox dosen't have a fuel filter
On that 2012 equinox I don't think they have a fuel filter but my 2012 GMC Terrain was doing the same thing and after a year it finally threw a code and it was the front camshaft position sensor they have 2
Trump looked a little down-n-out from the that picture taken in court today. Only because his attorneys told him to keep his mouth shut. LOL!
Back on topic...
I don't see a lot of Broncos where I live. I'm surprised, it is a city with millions of people. Hopefully I can find a low mile 2 door with a bad engine. Eventually, the aftermarket will produce a wiring harness for a V8. Back it up with a manual transmission for some fun!
Good job Scotty! Educational as always! Thank you!🎉🎈😅
Thank you Scotty for another great show! Good night!
Did Henry Ford leave Scotty's Mother at the alter!? 🤣🤣
So is any of this real or just after effects of the meds he takes?
As a heads up alot of newer cars depending on manufacturer around the year 2000 and up does not have a fuel filter. Unless it's a diesel than it's going to have a fuel filter.
