So we’ve talked about lots of things and one being getting things right. As a (new) vehicle product I expect some hidden issues. I’ve said before I expect that but hope SM remedies it quickly and professionally. What I don’t want is ridiculous recalls like this one for my daughter’s Bronco (anyone else on here with a newer (2023) Bronco keep an eye out for yours) ?. How on earth, after three years of production, could something this simple come up.
Scout Motors-PLEASE spend the adequate time in R&D and solve sh*%t like this so as fans we don’t have to waste time going to dealer to fix. I’ve also heard they don’t even have a solution and could be months until they do.
I find the report funny to a sense because drivers may lose patience and not use the belt. Having just gotten hers back after two weeks in the shop to pull the entire engine to fix a valve issue which Ford’s had on multiple engines over the years I just really hope (no ICE in Scout aside) that items like this just get fully reviewed prior to releasing to sales.
Scout engines used to run forever-bottoms rusted out but core items were built so well and I truly hope this occurs when the new Scout is resurrected.
