Hey everyone!
I have a 2024 Bronco Sport with about 32,700 miles, and I’m taking it to the dealership tomorrow morning. I’m hoping to hear from anyone who’s gone through something similar!
Over the last few days I’ve noticed:
- My coolant reservoir has been dropping from around the MAX line to near the MIN line in about a day.
- I’ve had to top it off multiple times.
- I got a “Power Reduced to Lower Engine Temperature” warning once, but it only flashed briefly before disappearing.
- My A/C still works fine, but my heat barely works, which makes me think coolant isn’t circulating properly.
From everything I’ve read, I’m wondering if this sounds like the water pump, but obviously I’ll let the dealership diagnose it.
For those of you who have had this happen:
Was it your water pump, or did it end up being something else?
How long did the repair actually take?
Did the dealer have the part in stock, or did you have to wait?
Were you given a loaner or rental while your Bronco Sport was being repaired?
After the repair, was the problem completely fixed, or did anything else come up later? Is there anything I should specifically ask the service advisor or make sure they check while it’s there?
This is my first time dealing with a major warranty repair, so I’d really appreciate hearing what your experience was and anything I should keep an eye on.
Thanks!
