Does this affect your Bronco build? Check your build date with the dates listed in the video.

i'm impressed that a company with over 100 years of practice can still screw up this bad.

Takes two to tango. People are idiots for paying the prices and dealers are scumbags for the mark ups.

We live in a world where Chrysler products have less recalls than Ford. 😂

A local dealer has several broncos in stock... they also all have 8k markups and have been sitting unsold for weeks.

New Rubicon still listing for 60+ msrp. Jeep is just as insane.

Why can't some people just drive their vehicles and enjoy them? We've had ours for 8 months and we love it. I have multiple friends with Broncos, neighbors with Broncos and I see Broncos everywhere I go. Not one friend or neighbor has mentioned a single negative thing about their vehicle. Then again, none of us are operating a KZfaq channel that profits from spreading panic about things that effect a small number of people.

Hey there, you are the first car guy I've found that I can stand. All the others are either overly dramatic, talk with shrill voices or ridiculously over exaggerated tonality, like nails down a chalk board. You're really interesting, easy to listen to and get straight to the point without a bunch of ridiculous bs to wade through. You have a subscriber and I have a car guy now. Thanks for your hard work!

Screw Ford. 4 dealerships last weekend had 10k markup Bronco trim I wanted. All were in stock. Nasty sales people said that was fair market. BS! I asked if I drove off lot 50ft and back if I would get it back any part of the 10k. Silence. Used Toyota Smart Path and bought 4Runner limited at MSRP. Sounds like I made the right choice. Ford dealers need to pay a price for this. Also, if I ordered a Bronco STILL a 10k markup. Aholes! Ford can go to... complained to corporate but they are helpless.

I'm not here to apologize or promote Ford but my experience is completely different. I took delivery of my Bronco in Nov. 2021. So far (knocking on wood) mine has been flawless! Not one single issue after 20K miles. It is the most fun and capable car I have ever owned. Puts a smile on my face every time I get in it. I've owned Jeeps recently and it is like driving a car from the 70's compared to the Bronco. There is a reason there are Jeeps available all over at MSRP, nobody wants them. I paid MSRP for my Bronco and cringe at others paying mark-ups. This is all the buyers fault. Just walk-away. Sooner than later all those idiots willing to subsidize these unscrupulous dealers will fall out of the market and the dealers will be left with unsold Broncos. Just look at the truck market, there are tons of new trucks waiting to be bought. They all have mark-ups and are just sitting unsold. It's a game of chicken and eventually the dealers will give in if impatient buyers would just stick to their guns!

First rule in life is avoid first gen no matter of it is electronic or mechanic. Let them iron out the kinks and whatever issue that they didn't catch in the test mules.

I legit do not understand how people pay these markups and allow Ford to do this.

I was so enthusiastic about the Bronco. Thought I might get one, the I saw the price, the gas mileage, the weak-kneed acceleration. Then remembered the last 4 Fords that my wife and I have had in 25 years and the issues, with wheel bearing "assemblies, coil failures, transmission and engine failures and windshield leaks. All of them bought new. and I'm going to need a much better deal to buy any ford, any time soon. I like to buy Made in America. Which is one of the few nice things you can say about ford.

Fix Or Repair Daily is living up to its name!

The Bronco market is changing. A year and a half ago there was no supply and huge markups over sticker. Now most all Bronco models are plentiful and some dealers are selling them at sticker price. If you want to buy, be patient. The market is moving in your favor.

Wow. Had a reservation but got a new Wrangler at $4,500 off MSRP almost two years ago been enjoying it since.

So glad I bought a 4 Runner 😂

Reserved my my bronco wildtrak with a small deposit, the wait was too long, ending up getting 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition. Zero issues so far

Man I wish I could just go back in time and get an old Bronco brand new or K5 Blazer/Tahoe

Purchased an Outer banks from Portsmouth Ford in NH, Price was MSRP, They gave a great price for my Trade in , gave some extra dealer discounts, didn’t push extras left it up to me if I wanted anything, and after price agreed to the manager did some extra number playing without asking and lowered the price some more. And I love my baby bronco.

I guess this explains all the "slightly" used Broncos at the used car lots.

I bought Fords my entire adult life. The last good Ford I had was a 2003 SVT Focus. I bought a 2012 Focus (bad transmission) and a 2014 Escape (Ecoboost head gasket issue) so I for my latest car I bought a car from a different manufacturer. It will be some time before I consider buying another Ford.

Recalls happen to all brands.. but the mark-ups are insane.

Funny how our ford CEO says QUALITY is number 1 but yet inside these ford factories we’re given the notion that QUANTITY is number 1 and quality doesn’t mean anything anymore.

Good job and from a lifelong exp in new/used auto sales for 58+ year's it is amazing that anyone could keep the showrooms open with the cost of biz today. Moving to Ecuador and finding a Toyota Hilux used from returning gringo to USA it is a totally different world here.

I’ve got a 21 Badlands 4 door, non SAS Lux softop, got the recall on the back doors, it was a quick fix at the dealership, same dealership that sold it to me at MSRP in November of 21. I love the Bronco and haven’t any problems with it.

My dad was a ford dealer mechanic in the 80's, and it sounds like they are still doing what they did then. They rush something into production with out doing and long term development test and just let the customer find the problems. Which is why he told me never buy a ford made after 1980.

2007 FJ Cruiser 250000 miles. Basic maintenance. still runs like new!

0:44 I can confirm this is true. I inquired about Bronco Wildtrak or Raptor & the lone Ford dealership on my island said they'd add a "dealership mark up fee" of $9,996 for the Wildtrak 🤯 & that "the Raptor would be an even higher mark up". That's INSANE. I really wanted a Bronco, it was more appealing overall than the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon package & the Toyota 4runner TRD Pro...but if it's just a massive cash grab ON TOP of the already hefty MSRP, I pass. I'll take my $70k elsewhere & get a better more for my money.

Holy moly I had no idea how bad Ford was doing quality control wise. I’m so glad I’m moving forward with Chevy and Ram

It's sad how things have gotten. Worked for Ford, Lincoln, and mercury dealership 27 years and I hope Fairly can straighten out this mess. Always loved my F150s and Grand Marquis.

Only one of those recalls bothered me. They fixed all of them, so let's get real. I bought multiple German made vehicles and Germans now build most of their cars to fail and they don't fix their failures. In fact, they lie. Should I mention the lies on MPG? Better example: the Audi CV (constant velocity) transmission fails so predictably that almost none make it past 50,000 miles. Most fail around 30,000. Good luck getting it fixed. I had extended warranties. Had three fixed. All failed again... in less than a year, or close to it. After that, I couldn't find anyone willing to do a repair. Literally, by that time, all transmission shops refused. Cost of a new one: $7,000+. Of course, they also give you timing belts versus timing chains. Plastic impellers versus metal. I literally could name hundreds of components designed to fail. I will NEVER buy a German made car again... ever. So, quit bashing a company that actually fixes their problems. You really aren't doing apples to apples comparisons at all. You have no idea how much you should value a company that admits their flaws and fixes them.

I remember seeing that jaw-dropping Bronco debut commercial a few years ago. I was ready back then to trade in my Taco on the spot. Glad I didn't. I just broke 100k miles with zero problems except a cracked 3rd brake light.....and I have the first year model (2016).

I just went out and gave my Tacoma TRD PRO a nice big kiss. 😍

Ford is always good about issuing recalls, so at least they will fix the issue. Unlike Fiat/Jeep and GM, who ignore the issue and would rather fight in court.

We bought one. So many recalls. Stay away from them.

Last two Fords I bought were a 2005 Mustang convertible, and a 1999 Ranger. All the Mustang has needed was a harmonic balancer and struts. The Ranger has only needed a complete front end rebuild, universal joints, and an alternator. Still have both of them. Regular maintenance, and moderate care, and I've no problems. Not planning to replace either of them anytime soon.

what i have watched online is a lot of low end broncos where bought up before the hit dealers and modified with after market parts and sold at a large markup so i would check the vin and see what came with it from the factory it is real hard to find a all factory 2 door base 4 cyl 7 sp with steel factory rims the one i want and will never be able to own

My entire family is a ford family and i dont know why. They constantly bring it back to the dealership for issues with just about everything. Theyre all less than 3 years old. I drive a 2006 Toyota Tacoma with 220,0000+ miles and it runs and works great.

I work in QC at my job. If we had this many problems going on. The whole department personnel would have been wiped out

Between quality issues and INSANELY outrageous prices, this is yet another example of why I say BUY OLD! You can buy a 70’s bronco, put in a new motor, new transmission, new tires and brakes and have a New truck. For a fraction of the price of a 2021-23. And not have any computer issues, chip problems, emissions problems or any of the other ‘improvement’ failures that new vehicles have.

We live in an era where the cheaper Ford is not even affordable to most medium incomes householders. Sad.

Can’t believe people are signing away $60k+ worth of debt for these half assembled piles

I just bought a 2024 Bronco Wildtrak and could not be happier. Phenomenal vehicle!

I'm already employed by Ford, already ordered my Bronco WildTrak via discount A plan and all, so no dealer markup here. Most every auto company has problems with a new vehicle in its start up years. Fast forward to now (6/23) I've researched most of these problems, they have been, or are being taken care of - including the valve issue of their 2.7 twin turbo V6.

Farley’s promises are as genuine as Ford’s quality control at this point. Remember how he really “cracked down” on those price gouging dealerships. Real bang up job. Jackass.

Cancelled order... I'll just pick one up , slightly used , at a deep discount when a tidal wave of these get repo'd next year . hahaha ✌🏼

When I was at a Ford Dealer they had a Bronco that was about $45,000 MSRP. They were charging over $65,000 for it. People are not going to pay 6% APR plus tens of thousands above MSRP.

I wonder if consumers will line up to buy the next $60,000 hype machine once everyone forgets this whole Bronco situation.

All of these vehicles across all brands are getting to complex. The possibility of something going wrong is incredibly hi, even when properly built. EV and gasoline economy engines have very tight tolerances. To bad we won’t be allowed to go back to simpler designs.

I had a 22 Bronco and sold it back to the dealership I bought it from for 15% more than I payed for it. The bronco ended up at a dealership in Norman Oklahoma for 15 grand above sticker price. Good luck.

Thanks for the update!

I was getting the itch to get me a bare bones Bronco. With one condition. It has to have the V6 engine. I've searched here in SoCal. No deals anywhere. Not paying any mark up what so ever. Especially with these all these re calls. Going to wait another year to buy my next vehicle. Thanks for the updates

Ford motor company has 3 problems. And these are some very significant problems. 1. 600, Ford dealerships, we're ninety days past due on their payments, in 2020. That would be the dealerships, not paying their bills. That's a huge problem. I looked here in my area, and out of 11, 10 of them we're on the list of potentially defaulting. And the one that wasn't, is over 100 miles away. Which means, if I take my Ford car, to a Ford dealership, right down the street from me. It's a high probability, that they're going to overcharge me, for service, because their owners, have a verifiable history of not paying their bills. And they pass that expense off onto me. To the form of $170 per labor hour. And you would think, that the technicians in the service department, would know what the hell they're doing. But you would be wrong. All they got in the one down the street from me, is a bunch of warm Bodies, sitting in chairs. Giving everybody the, we don't want to fix it price. Number two. The country of commiefornia. the only product that technocratic class of people has, is a diode resistor. And according to their state law, you must have x amount of diode resistors, in your orifices. Before you could even sell a car in that country. Which was a great proposal, when the government of commiefornia was in charge of the fifth largest economy in the world. But since the commies have taken over, and decided to put themselves in the middle of the automotive industry. An industry that none of them are qualified to regulate. They have managed to run that economy, straight into the ground. But, you have to have x amount of diode resistors, in your orifices. Before a single car can be sold in that country. One thing the technocrats never understood. Is that all you need under the hood, is spark fuel and compression. Everything else is bullshit. Number three. And probably the biggest problem Ford motor company has right now. Over engineering. They have great ideas. And big plans. Except, the engineers that they have on hand, have no idea how to implement them. In 2013, Ford motor company pulled my father out of retirement, so he could go down to their truck manufacturing facility. And show them how to get their seats to line up properly on the tracks, so the robots could weld them together. It turns out, the production manager at the F-150 plant, had no freaking clue what the hell he was doing. Because they hired somebody out of the University, with theoretical engineering education. And not somebody off the shop floor, who had practical engineering applications. He was told, he would be there for a couple of days. 7 weeks later...My father went down to their public library, pulled a book off the shelf. That was titled, 13 manufacturing problems, with 13 manufacturing solutions. And now you have an aluminum F-150. I don't know who the hell is running the show up there at Ford motor company. But I can tell you, with a significant level of confidence, that whoever it is, has got their head so far up their ass, they can't even smell their own shit! Rectal cranial inversion, is a real thing. And it is a serious problem at Ford motor company. They sold us, on a full-size, v8-powered, off-road vehicle. What we got was, a science experiment implementing the current trends in technology. Personally, I don't give two shakes and a squirt about the number 7 USB port. And I can thoroughly navigate the roads, without a backup camera or Lane assist. Now they're expecting me, and others like me, to take out a mortgage, on a vehicle. And pay it off in less time than it takes to pay off a house. So they can continue to implement their communist socialist agenda, and they're technocratic society. On us, at $65,000 a pop? You can kiss my shiny metal ass on that one. In short, Fu Ford. Fu straight in the a. I have to Mustangs, a Ford escape, an F100. And spent over twenty years, working on their products. Both professionally, and at home. No more. When these cars are dead. When I can no longer get even, cheap Chinese counterfeit parts, out of their dealership parts rooms. I'm going back to riding a freaking horse.

Who are these people spending this kind of money on vehicles?! My wife and I both work and keeping the mortgage paid utilities on and the shy rocketing price of groceries and gas I can't even fathomnhaving a $500+ car payment!

My last experiment in buying a modern Ford was in 2017 baught my wife a 2015 Ford Fusion SE. Biggest mistake I have made and knew better than to do, but I wanted to see for myself if Ford was better. Well lets just say it was horrible and my wife drives a 2020 Camry SE.

These new vehicles with all their options. Reactive armor windshields that blow out in case of crash. Disposable engines to avoid those pricy oil changes and the park feature for the transmission. So many choices. Trying to decide on which ones to get can really be overwhelming. Although it seems that the few I mentioned here have become standard features.

It used to be at Ford quality is Job one, but lately at Ford Quality is job none.

The quality issues on Fords really started getting bad during the Covid scare when factories began coming back online IMO. Also if Ford wants to stop losing money someone needs to figure out why every Ford F-150 range vehicle not made at the KC plant come off the line with zero gas in the tank. It's been that way for years so someone is making bank by not putting gas in those vehicles but still charging the dealerships for said fuel.

Glad the deal with stealers did not go through. A blessing in disguise. Won't pay any markup for the broncos nor any car. Never did in 20 years. These broncos are overrated in my opinion. No offense to owners. What I mean it could be a good vehicle but it receives more attention than what it deserves because of the supply issues, pandemic, and it's a new platform, and the lack of competition right now. When the toyotas and jeeps come up with something new, and supply chain issues go away then let's see if the stealers can command markups on these broncos. Remember the ZR2s?

Same thing happened with my Chevy Uplander (discontinued) Valve seat covers shattered and the warranty was rendered void. Had to buy an entirely new engine, which then also destroyed itself.

Ford lost me as a customer in 2012 when I bought a new F-150 and asked the salesman at Tunkhannock Ford (Pa.) about the bad transmissions in 2011's and he said "oh, you can't believe everything you read on the internet, that's been taken care of". The very next day, I thought I had been rear-ended and looked in the mirrors to see who bumped into me only to see nobody behind me. It was the transmission banging inside when coming to a stop. Traded it in on a 2012 Tacoma TRD 4X4 Sport. Still driving the Tacoma to this day. Besides tires, I only replaced 1 battery, 1 muffler, and front brake pads.

As a real '22 Bronco owner i can say love it. 2.7 engine. Since I've had it and driven it off road almost every weekend from California to Nevada and added 26k miles I've had 0 issues. Yes, zero. No quality control issues. Didn't have to order it or pay any ridiculous markup. Soo, how realistic is all this crap about issues? It isn't. Oh i owned a 21 jeep gladiator before with nothing but issues that jeep couldn't fix. I can back everything up with facts not fiction.

in that manufacturer factory of ford bronco, please don't forget to advise the last person who comes out on the closure to turn off the light for ever.

"Quality is Job 1!" A manual transmission solves all of the transmission issues.

Amazing recall numbers. I recently had work done on my old fj80 Lexus wagon. The tech looked up any recall bulletins and over all the these years, the number is……. 0

I ordered a bronco. Got my money back and got a tacoma instead. Paid $39k for an off road. For another $10k in aftermarket parts ill have a bad ass rig, and will still be way under cost than most broncos

The Bronco was and should have been a solid front axle, 6cyl base with mid size v8 option, manual trans standard, auto trans option, inexpensive, basic tech, 2dr, 4x4. What we got was a grocery getter with a good off road package. The Rover D90 was more Bronco than the what we have now. Looks sell but performance and ease of repair keep buyers coming back for more.

They could try selling them at MSRP

Got a 2022 OBX in Sept 2022 and am loving it. For all these sky is falling vids out there of the 20 or so Bronco owners I have talked with all are loving them with no issues.

What amazes me is that quality gas gone down, prices have gone up incredibly, and now these people are striking because they think they deserve more money. Really?

Just forego all this nonsense and buy a 4RUNNER.... you'll be glad you did and have YEARS of drama free driving if you take care of it

Farley said there will be no more dealer markups. So he increased Ford prices. Farley said quality control is no 1 priority. Crickets......crickets....waiting for outcome.

All this emissions and small engines and twin turbo is killing vehicle production. We need more driver focused cars with less complicated systems.

The new issue with the Bronco is that while flat towing, if the voltage drops too low while in transit, it will automatically go out of flat tow mode and shift into Park causing a catastrophic failure of the transmission. Ask me how I know. A $7,200 bill that was covered fortunately under warranty.

I feel like there should be a version of Forbes to go from dealership to dealership making sure they aren’t ripping people off and holding these dealerships to a standard

Just bought a 2023 Bronco, it looks cool I guess that’s enough 😃

Ford has had generations to fix its reliability problem. The first Broncos were being built in 1966. A Ford Bronco is the reason my dad went to Toyota's 40 years ago, my dad said don't buy a Ford son they will take your money and leave you stranded... Instead of Ford delaying the release of the new Bronco to make sure it is solid and tested as possible they are making the same mistakes they have for decades.

I purchased a 2022 Ford F150 Powerboost and had two recalls- both minor issues (windshield washer motor check) and (flickering LED brake lights). I am very happy with the vehicle and it is my third new F150 since 2015. IMHO, what matters is what issue the recalls are for- major ones are more troubling. Wiring can be a set of bad harnesses, etc. Remember, they were running skeleton crews from about 2020ish through late 2021.

I passed by a Ford dealership a couple days ago and was surprised at how many broncos they had on lot. A good 10+ of them.

All these problems and they want mark ups and waiting a year for one lol. Honestly the msrp is already way too much for a vehicle like this. That said I’ve gone off roading in deep mud and some Rocky trails in a badlands 4 door with the Sasquatch package and it’s amazing. Even with great off road performance and some cool features it’s still overpriced even without a mark up. Also it should have more quality at that price point.

I can tell by looking at the engine compartment that you don't want this vehicle. What a engineering nightmare.

Ordered a 2-door Big Bend with the 2.3l/auto on 03/06/2022; it was delivered on 03/06/2023. Paid $5k under invoice.

This vid making me think I should keep my FJ Cruiser. Have been salivating over the new Bronco but some second thoughts.

Love the Jeep Wrangler in Sarge Green

They are all over the used lots where I live, usually with only a few thousand miles on them, but huge price tags none the less.

Holy big nose Batman! This guy has a face for radio 😂

I pre ordered and ordered the very first day it opened. I waited 989 days and finally just got my 4dr Sasquatch Lux Wildtrack and I love it. I was so pissed at Ford but moving from a Hard Rock Rubicon JKU to this was definitely worth the wait.

It seems that somebody is trying to destroy FORD...is almost unreal the amount of recalls within the last three years...

Damn next time Ford announces a new vehicle, I’m gonna dump my stock and wait until the recalls roll in to buy it back…

My first car was a 2001 Ford Focus that was purchased new. That car was pretty much my favorite car in life. It lasted me all the way through 2011 when it was totaled in a crash. After that, got a 2012 Ford Escape. Another amazing car that, if it weren't for a hailstorm, I would've still had to this day. I don't know what happened to Ford between 2012 & 2015, but I bought a 2015 Ford Focus, thinking it would be like my last Focus. Like night and day. That 2015 Focus was crap. I went through 3 "PowerShift" transmissions in that car. The car loved to shudder & stall. There were battery & other electronic gremlins that would have my lights completely cut off while driving (even at night). I kept the car until it was almost the end of the warranty period and decided to try once more. In 2018, I got another Focus, but when the transmission still shuddered while driving at only 3 months of ownership, I traded it in for a Mazda3. My Mazda3 is still in my driveway and aside from regular maintenance, I'm approaching 85k miles and this car is still riding and running just as good as the day I bought it. Ford just stopped building quality vehicles and banked on brand loyalty to sustain them and, there's only so much brand loyalty people can have. Do I think the Bronco is a nice vehicle? Yes! I would LOVE to get one, but the experience of owning a modern Ford have made me not want to ever own another Ford vehicle again.

I was at Chapman Ford in Philly to buy a Mustang and my salesman was bragging about how he just sold a Bronco Raptor for $30k over sticker. Unbelievable!

Can’t speak for anyone else, but I feel damn good with my recent bronco raptor acquisition. It’s one of the coolest/fun vehicles I’ve ever owned.

I purchased an f150 and almost traded it in because of the door locks freezing and having to warn the vehicle up for 30 minutes to thaw the doors. I'll see if the recall fix remedies the issue next winter.

Speaking of the transmission in this video. I have a 21 explore. It started happening in the summer of 2022. When I put it in reverse. It stalls before going back normally⁉️ Because it's a lease, and I'm turning it in 2½ months from today. Other than the price gouging Ford is doing‼️ I made up my mind to go with a lesser vehicle 🚜 just to ease my mind, and calm my nerves 🙏

That is why I am glad 🙂 I own a Honda Pilot despite it is 13-years old. 🙂

I was really interested in these when they first came out, but after seeing the botched rollout, dealer mark ups, and quality control, I’ve all but lost interest at this point. The alternative is a wrangler, but after seeing the abysmal quality of my brothers JL wrangler I am pretty much at the point where I think money is better spent restoring an older jeep with a proven drive train.

What's your opinion on whether the 2023 Lincoln Corsair (based on Ford Escape) would have similar problems?

Been a Toyota guy my whole life and my 21’ bronco 4 cyl turbo was the first ford I’ve ever bought. 30k on it and I’ve had zero issues. It’s smoother, more refined, more powerful and more off road capable than my 4runner trd off-road. I’ve been through the Toyota floor mat issue, transmission issues, engine cracks, and the list goes on. Every manufacturer has its issues. Congrats on creating a channel based on bitterness and whining because you couldn’t find a Bronco.

That Transmission recall doesn't sound like a minor fix.
