Broncos-Catastrophic engine failure

[Highstrung]

Haha, same it got stuck in my head recently. I told my wife her dog looked like a Llama, and I was singing the song with altered words. My youngest daughter looked at me like I was making it up. So I checked YouTube and saw it a couple weeks back and showed her. Then just seeing the word Llama then vet junk, I had to post it.

I'm confident that we are the same age and suffered through the frustration of snuffleupagus always slipping away anytime showed up. Everyone thought Big Bird was crazy.

Haha. We are. Every once and a while I'll find myself counting like that pinball thingy. 1 2 3 4oor 5 6789 10 11 12222

Saw a Saddled horse and a guy resting in the shade at a QT this morning on white horse road. Anyone else see? I’m assuming “they” were trying to make a point.

50-50 chance with those ecos still.

You either get a great one or a lemon it seems like.

Apparently a catch can and an extended warranty are wise investments.

Which reminds me, I need to drain my catch can.

Glenn you’ve seen the llamas being used out west for hunts I imagine. Would you use them over horses or just punch a puppy in frustration altogether.

Hahahaha! I've heard of people using them out west to pack in and out. Those rascals will hock a loogie on you if you aren't careful but at least they won't stop on you or kick your skull to Canada.

Ford Bronco Engine-Failure Reports Spur Federal Safety Investigation

Auto-safety regulator probes reports that the SUV could lose power at highway speeds; Ford says it also is investigating the problem

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s probe covers nearly 25,500 Ford Bronco vehicles.

The top U.S. auto-safety regulator is opening an investigation into reported catastrophic engine failures with some Ford Bronco vehicles, yet another setback in the auto maker’s efforts to improve its quality record.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a filing made public this week it was launching the probe, after receiving reports of 2021 Ford Bronco SUVs experiencing a loss of power at highway speeds. The examination covers nearly 25,500 vehicles, NHTSA said.

The regulatory agency said it had been weighing whether to open the defect investigation since late May, when the agency said it received multiple petitions from Bronco owners to take action. In a meeting last month with Ford Motor Co., F -2.14%? NHTSA staff learned the alleged loss of power is a result of catastrophic engine failures due to the engine valves failing, the agency said in the filing.

Ford has the most recalls of any U.S. auto maker in 2022, having launched 45 of them this year, according to NHTSA data. Daimler Trucks North America LLC has the second-highest number of recalls, with 27 this year.

Ford issued a recall for about 39,000 large SUVs in May, citing reports of under-the-hood fires in vehicles that were parked and turned off. In June, Ford recalled about 49,000 Mustang Mach-E vehicles because of an issue that could cause a battery component to overheat and potentially cause the car to lose power, the company said. In the same month, the car maker recalled more than 3.3 million vehicles that it said had a risk of rolling away when placed in park.

I did a bunch of research on this. It was the 2021 model and all of the problem engines were made in the same month.
I don't think it is an issue now.
