Rear glass window exploded

2021 Ford Bronco Sport Big Bend 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 3cyl Turbo 8A)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful

I have had my vehicle for 3 months. So far the main screen behind the steering wheel goes completely blank. Unable to show mph etc. However after turning on and off several times it does eventually come back. Also I was just driving down the road and the rear glass window exploded. I thought someone may have thrown something at it but no one was around. Very scary! I have been advised of a recall as well with the gas line which I inquired about and a Ford Dealership said to come back they have not been provided the part to fix it with yet. 😔😔

2021 Ford Bronco Sport Badlands 4dr SUV AWD w/Prod. End 07/21 (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
15 of 18 people found this review helpful

I have the Badlands model that comes with the 2.0 liter engine. I average 26.8 mpg at 4700 miles with highway mileage 29-33 (driving the speed limit.) The interior seating is comfortable on long trips. The back seats have limited space but are functional. It has plenty of storage in the back which expands when the back seats are put down. I have had no issues at all and just completed my first oil change. The Badlands comes with a front facing camera that I use when parking to ensure I am where I need to be. The front camera comes on automatically when engaging Rock Crawl, Mud/Ruts, or Sand mode. It comes with Ford Co-Pilot 360 and Automatic High Beams which is very nice-automatically going to high beam and switching back with oncoming traffic. The Co-Pilot 360 takes a bit to get used to if you have never used it before with the lane assist/centering, blind spot alerts, and pre-collision assist but it is very nice and provides for additional safety. I have been very pleased with the performance of the vehicle and have zero regrets purchasing it. As you read other reviews, remember all vehicles can have problems-the warranty addresses those. Drive it yourself, see if it fits your needs, and if you purchase it-enjoy! There are several Bronco Sport forums that assist with questions, problems, and a lot of ideas for personalizing it. One year update-almost 10K miles and still running strong with no issues. MPG is about the same - average 26.6 overall since purchase. Very impressed the the quality of the BS. I have driven off-road several times and it did well. Buy or order with confidence!

Be aware 2022 Bronco Sport

My brand new bronco sport started making knocking whirring noises immediately. Stopped going into drive and ended up stranded in a busy intersection. Ford says it’s the transmission and will be 2 months in the shop by the time parts even get here, longer than I’ve had it. Extremely disappointed with this buying experience, be aware.

Just my opinion

I owned the big bend for 4 months and just traded it in for a Subaru Forester. The front seats are not comfortable, no leg room on the back seat, lacy of cargo space, ride is noisy, inside is cheap plastic, hood rattles while driving, lack of power and smoothness, auto stop feature is anything but convenient and for the price (34k) it was bit worth it in my opinion which is why I ended up trading it in.

The car is extremely sensitive and changes gears so easily just accidentally rubbing up against it. My car has a told of 3 recalls and I have to be inconvenience with either not having a car for days or paying for rental, All this due to manufacturing issues.
