    It was mentioned in the Ford Authority article quoted in the original thread:https://fordauthority.com/2022/06/ford-bronco-2-7l-v6-ecoboost-engine-failures-explained-exclusive


    “As some are already aware, part of the problem with these 2.7L powerplants is that they utilize cheaper, sub-optimal valves that were acquired from a new supplier that apparently didn’t properly validate those particular components”

     

    Is this Fords fault or the suppliers? Maybe both! Doesn't Ford send quality teams to the supplier to verify quality and that processes are in place to catch defects? This is why I blame Ford for not doing a good job on quality. They have to keep on top of these suppliers or they will lose control.

    That's correct Joe771476. It's reflective of Ford's corporate culture that tolerates making the same mistakes over and over.

     

    Jim Hackett's and Jim Farley's efforts to get Ford "fit" are making progress to address this problem, but with nearly 120 years of dysfunction, culture change at Ford isn't going to happen overnight.

    Not going to happen overnight? LOL It's been going on for years, year after year. Has anyone been fired for this? The whole quality department is responsible and nothing has changed, absolutely nothing. It may even be getting worse

    update

    Same old Ford. Mach-E, and Bronco's recalled and now this. Ford has a serious quality problem and can't seem to get a handle on it.

    Update.....Gas powered Mustangs recalled too. Just keeps getting better.

    It is I still believe there is too much reliance on China and non North American companies. Ford will still do tons of business with China which Ford and all these corporations love! All this global instability is proof more jobs need to be brought back to N/A. I’m in Canada so we need to get our small share too. Obviously the mighty America is number one! 

    Until greed goes away this will never happen.

    The cautions have made NASCAR unwatchable. A very fast racer builds a nice lead with 5 laps to go and then a restart and more often than not some lucky loser wins the race out of nowhere. The Daytona 500 is even worse with winning being pure luck over who is fastest. Maybe the best racer wins over the whole year, but the individual race events have been reduced to more luck than skill. Stay out of wrecks and win on last lap after restart caused by caution. 

    I hear ya, but it is the same for everyone. What would you want to happen after a caution, the leader before the caution takes the green at the same point he was in front of the second place car at the caution?

    What size are your tires and wheels? What offset / back spacing?

     

    I'm not a fan of silicon brake fluid.

     

    DOT5 Pros:
    Will not eat the paint and cause horrible rust when (not if) then master cylinder leaks all over the front shelf.
    Fluid will last indefinitely provided it stays clean. Can be filtered and re-used.
    Does not absorb water, so moisture from the atmosphere will not enter then system and cause rust.
    Higher boiling point than DOT 3 or 4.

    DOT5 Cons:
    Expensive and harder to find than DOT 3/4.
    More difficult to get all the air out.
    If water does somehow get in, it will localize at low points and cause rust or possibly boil if at the caliper.

    DOT 3/4 Pros:
    Cheaper and easier to find.
    Moisture does not collect at low points

    DOT 3/4 Cons:
    Will eat the paint off anything it touches
    Will absorb moisture from the atmosphere.
    Any water in the system spreads throughout and rusts everything, so regular flushing is required.

    I don't get the gnashing of teeth over the use of the Blazer name. There won't be a two door fullsize SUV hitting the market anytime soon. I'd rather have the name being used than not. 

    Just like Ford did with Mustang,

    Nope not hard at all.  Fusions and Focus selling for mid $20ks with $4k rebates and MKZ selling for mid $30Ks also with rebates vs Ranger, Bronco, Bronco Sport and Maverick with the last 3 selling in just a few days at or above MSRP (no rebates) even before the supply chain crisis and at much higher MSRPs especially Bronco and Bronco Sport.  It’s a no brainer.

    Where can I get a 2022 Fusion or Focus in the USA?

    You know where the GT kills the Corvette?  In Ford’s bank account.  Performance is irrelevant from a business standpoint.

     

    Bronco is nowhere close to a niche vehicle.

     

    Ford built those for the states for several years which is several years more than GM.  And they still build them in Europe.

     

    Building sedans is the definition of “in the box” thinking.

    Ford doesn't make much of a profit on the GT. It was farmed out to be built.

    I have seen 2 Broncos since release.

    So what's your point they don't build them anymore.

    GM doesn't build many sedans either Malibu is the only true sedan they offer.
