Read The Reckoning by David Halberstam, the history of the car industries in America and Japan. It is a well documented history of how the bean counters destroy the car companies.

Just wanted to let you know the world needs watch dogs like you. 😎
Had you ever wondered what a Ford would’ve been like if it were made in Japan?
@@ytr8989 Just think of the early 90s Ford Escort, that was essentially a Mazda with a Ford skin.
"every car manufacturer is trash" - scotty 2022, and he's not wrong
Except for Toyota 😂
@@srfokay Toyota is trash. Had two brand new 2022 Toyotas as rentals one a Camry, one a Corolla, both had slipping trannys and rattling dashes etc etc.. and had less than 6000 miles on them. I also had a new Hyundai Elantra rental, same problems. All this because my Ford F-150 (that replaced my piece of sh*t Jeep) has been down for months for a premature failure of the catalytic converter and neither the dealer nor Ford Motor Company can seem to figure out how to source a new one. All new cars are junk.
Makes me happy to keep driving my 2000 Saturn SW2. 285,000 miles, standard transmission, manual windows FTW!
nah.Dacias are excellent for their price
Everything has gone down hill since 2020
It's totally Ford's fault! You are absolutely right Scotty!
All Ford products are cheap garbage!!
Major manufacturers have been outsourcing parts for decades But they also had in-house receiving inspection departments to verify that what was coming in the door met specs. Around 15-20 years ago, some companies got the idea to save money by forming trusted partnerships with their outside suppliers and eliminate their receiving inspection departments, deeming it redundant to inspect something already inspected by their supplier. In one company I was at, someone, somewhere came up with the stupid idea that if something went wrong with the supplied part it wasn't "our" problem, but the supplier's problem. What they failed to consider is that the consumer holds the end supplier as responsible and it's their reputation that takes the hit. It only takes one person at that supplier who is responsible for his production to pass a substandard load to wreak incredible havoc when "redundant" inspections aren't in place There was an "alphabet soup movement" saying being passed around that "you can't inspect quality in" and that by making it right you could eliminate a lot of "unnecessary", costly inspection. Unforeseen things happen and those QC costs look like chicken feed compared to recall expenses, warranty costs and loss of reputation.
@@williammitchell7404 ....AND Ford is notorious for using the cheapest, most substandard parts in the industry! Ford products are pure garbage, and Chevy isn't far behind.
@@mikelaughlin270 are Ford vehicles unreliable? I'm thinking of getting the 2023 ford Everest titanium ( SUV ) diesel or the Ranger XLT manual transmission 6 spd diesel.
@@mikelaughlin270 yes coz garbage like Toyota, jeep , dodge , Chevy and other pos brand use better parts than Ford isn't joker pure garbage lol the condition of new tundra and tacomas are even worse than bronco
Consumer reports is saying the Nissan
Sentra is the best small sedan ahead of the Corolla and the civic. That’s how you know consumer reports is junk.
I had a used Sentra back in the '90's. It was one of the most fun cars I ever had. I had a 1978 Trans Am and currently own a 2020 Mustang GT. But that little piece of BLEEP Nissan was fun to drive and bounce around town in, never worrying about where to park it.
Always wait awhile before buying new models. Let other people be the beta testers then pick one up in a few years when all the kinks are worked out.
Back in 90's I would say this is valid opinion but now? NO. Nissan has had one too many issues in recent years (CVT failures) While some newer model Toyota had some engine oil issues they were not as impactful as transmission failing/stalling for 2 generation of vehicles from various classes.
CR said the Tesla was the safest, most trouble free car they had ever tested. Then, reality forced them to retract that assessment.
They should've never stop making the original bronco and the Econoline cargo vans
💯
They should also have never stopped building the Taurus or the original Ranger.
Yea right. Reliable vehicles made by ford now a days does not exist. Lexus gx and the 4 runner are the last of epic reliability and soon those will go as well.
Naw that 6 wheel van can stay gone. It's a cop magnent. Looks like you would be hauling highly illegal stuff
@@cactneir my van is my home as I'm a full-time vanlifer while dying of heart failure after my wife divorced me after being diagnosed .
The original battery in my Uncle's Honda Insight lasted 100,000 miles, and he replaced it with a rebuilt one, and that lasted 30,000 miles. He sold the car and bought a big Ford Expedition.
Expeditions are awesome
"Then you just throw the batteries away and you buy new ones". Scotty, please dispose of your Lithium Ion batteries properly. There will be special places you can bring them in your municipality. Never throw them in the trash.
I love my Expy 💞 Even at 11/17 MPG!
Expeditions are okay
so he sold a good car and bought a huge hunk of trash?
Ford and GM have done this stuff for years. Always running on a fine line of quality and cost.
It's how American companies work. Everything is about the bottom line even over customer safety. Remember the gm ignition recall? GM new it could kill people but they would rather manufacture a flawed product and release is on time over people's lives to meet their deadline. Its cheaper for them to deal with lawsuits down the line through corrupt courts
This is the exact reason why I'd rather have a 4L V6 or a 5-5.6L V8 in a large heavy vehicle like an suv, those small turbocharged engines are fantastic in small cars because they can produce an amazing power to weight ratio but in something as big as an F150 or bronco you're just asking for trouble, especially if you do a lot of towing or off roading because those turbos do not like being under constant high load or being starved of oil for any reason no matter how sort the period of time is.
Drop that 4.0L V-6 they had in the old Rangers in that Bronco and look out. Same thing for the new Ranger. I don't want a 4 cyl Ranger and make it a real truck. Even though I'm not crazy about my Chevy Colorado I'll take that V-6 any day over the 4 banger. Ford is woke and can go broke.
Wouldn't matter if those bigger engines had crappy valves, too. Perhaps with better valves, these engines will last about 100k miles and THEN do the GDI/Turbo downward spiral dance instead of at 1600 miles. You're right though, it would be neat to have one of these with a 5.0 Coyote
Yeah they put so much strain on such a little engine it wears it out so damn fast.
When I was looking to buy a new Honda Civic I was almost astonished to read that the SI had a smaller engine than the base model and I thought "what the hell?" and read that they stick a SMALLER engine, a 1.5L in the thing, make it GDI and shove a turbo on it.
Meanwhile the base model has a naturally aspirated, traditionally injected 2.0L. Listening to Scotty all this time, I learned that I'll take the slightly slower engine that'll last 2-3x as long any day.
Nissan doesn't sell these engines in full sized vans anymore. . .And VS a van: What's the point of a truck for most Americans?
You don't see the larger suv's with Honda, Toyota, or even Mitsubishi having these catistrophic problems. Probably because their engine suppliers aren't cheap as f**k.
This Bronco 2.7 engine failure is old news and they isolated the impacted Broncos from a couple of months of builds from last fall. Luckily it didn't impact the bulk built to date and are covering any that due fail under warranty. I own one with same engine and no problems at 15K miles. It gets up and goes better than I thought it would with the stock 35" tires!
The GM motor mount issue in the late 60s was that the mount on the left side would break and when accelerating the engine would shift and pull the throttle cable tight causing uncontrolled acceleration. With the throttle wide open the power brakes didn’t have enough vacuum to function. The only way to stop the car was to turn the key to off. The fix was a 1/4” cable wrapped around the base of the motor mount..
About the time you turn the key off, the steering locks in the column and you find a ditch.
Chevy had a bell crank system of rods controlling the carbuerator until 1969, then it was replaced with a cable. The cable did not hang up but all the 68 and earlier bound up and the throttle was stuck, The GM fix was a new motor mount that would limit travel if the rubber section broke...only on the left side. I had a 68 Camaro and when the left motor mount was broke, under hard acceleration the locked throttle was frightening. I had a manual transmission so a tap on the clutch took the torque off the engine and the throttle unlocked. GM denied the problem until TSA made them fix the millions of cars affected. Before the GM fix was available I bolted a chain to one of the head bolts and bolted the other end of the chain to the subframe. That fix stopped the throttle lock , but motor mount replacement was as frequent as oil changes if you drove the vehicle hard
Owned three Fords in my lifetime, experienced electrical issues, transmission failures, and finally an engine failure at 35K miles that I had to fight to get warrantied - no more Fix Or Repair Daily for me...
At 35k 👀 that no good
Ive had 7. From 1972 up to my 2000 super duty 7.3. Small electrical issues with everyone of them. Easy fix for me. 14 years and 800,000 miles with my 7.3 and still going. I got a 1000 dollar 89 Lincoln mark vii I use for work and have put 70,000 miles on it with no issues. Don't buy cheap azz models .
They suck. Had a few too
@John Beeck 7 months before I was born in August 2007 my parents bought a new 07’ manual Ford Focus SES black station wagon. It was only a good car because we put 72000 kilometres on it in 5 years😂. I only liked it because of the Nostalgia. I remember the engine had a deep buzz when it was at 3000 RPM & vibrated the interior. It smelled so good inside though, like fresh goldfish & foam from a furniture store. That was its new car smell. I still remember a rainy day in 2011 driving along a campground in it with my dad playing the song “Basement Apt.” by Sarah Harmer. Good times. I was 4. But yeah, not reliable long term.
Anything post bail out is fine again. They were really scraping the bottom of the barrel. They were forced to compete and modernize again.
This is why I drive a 91 S10, and an 03 Civic. I'll let the masses find out which cars are good before I buy one
People don't realize that the parts used to assemble their car come from a ever changing supply chain. FORD is responsible for the Quality Control of these parts. Someone blessed those valves and didn't test them, and moved them down the line.
Sad but true. They all do it.
For one they don't check all the valves. They've just went from checking 1 in 100 to 1 in 1,000.
@Justinian Yi I don't know if it's because they're in such a hurry, I think it's to squeeze every last drop of profit from every part no matter the consequences.
@@tomchrisfield7348 That’s what Ford does best.
I remember the old chain thing. Back in high school I drove a Ford van and they actually strapped the mounts down with short lengths of chain.
Yep
Been driving my 2003 v6 camary since 2014 it was originally my dads that he purchsed new back in 03 176k milage still got a lot of life.
This was great content Scotty!
NEVER buy an engine with a turbo there is no replacement for displacement!
Not unless it's a Nissan GTR
Boost is really replacing displacement
@@jasonpohl2931 yes but at the cost of reliability
How about diesel
Agree!
Scotty, the GM chain fix was because under hard acceleration the motor would lift up and jam the throttle in wide open causing a run away issue. The chain minimized motor lift. 2nd, if the car starts cold but hard to start when warm it's 99% the engine coolant temp sensor (ECTS) telling the ECM that the motor is cold thus giving more fuel, flooding the motor, washing the rings, diluting the oil and giving crap gas milage, and yes it's Fords fault as they are responsible for their subcontractors.
This was a great posting thank you
There are so many car companies outsourcing their parts and not checking quality control. I wouldn’t buy a new vehicle these days….QC has gone down for all of them.
Just wait until their battery cars start catching fire.
@Justinian Yi mitsubishi are getting better again
@Allan Simmons
Most brands today are making shite! There are some models which are exceptions but they are very few and far in between.
I know if I buy a Jeep Renegade, it is made in Italy. That says everything. Now they all come with a 1.3l turbocharged engine. Maybe better milage, but uses premium fuel. Yuck.
Everything has Audi reliability now.
same problem when Harley Davidsons sold there company bikes turned out allot crappier so the original Harley guys bought it back and went back to making great Harleys
I remember when Ford's motto was Build Ford Tough, now I see on the commercials where the motto is Built Ford Proud. Now you read into that what you will...
That's forge attempt at tapping into the simplistic flag waving nationalism that's prevalent in the Republican party right now that this is the generic go-to square body construction worker type truck that every red blood in American should have. Of course they're wrong
Ford has become crAppY. Every car company in 2022 has lowered their quality exponentially.
Almost got one last year. Glad I got my Titan instead. I love it!
When I was maybe 19 I had an 87 cavalier bought new that was about 2 years old and the steering came down with morning sickness. I complained to a regional manager and he told me it was planned obsolescence. This was in maybe 1989. They did discount the repair though. At least he didn't give me the "we've never heard of that" line. Years later with the internet I learned what a widespread problem it was. The fix worked, I had that car for 15 years and 293K miles. Still ran like new but it was rusted out when I traded it.

As an outside industrial salesman 1980's - 1990's I had 2 Ford Tauruses & a Mercury Sable Wagon give me 300,000 miles of reliable transportation. Today I would nor trust Ford to get me across the street.
I have a 2013 fusion with 205k trouble-free miles, 2022 bronco with the scarry 2.7 with 7k trouble-free miles, 2011 f150 with 95k trouble-free miles, Not sure your opinion has any traction. Maintenance is key.
@@phillmckrakin2518 Got a 2017 Ford Fusion with 82k miles with no issues. Before that I drove a 2008 Ford Ranger with 150k miles with only one small issue (engine thermostat, cheap fix), and currently have a Bronco in production with the 2.3. Ford’s have been great for me as well
I'll hang on to my 07 FJ cruiser.....works like new
I'm a subscriber of your channel and enjoy your content but, regarding the GM motor mounts you're incorrect on the info you've given on them. I owned one of these Chevys and personally experienced what happens when they fail. I did a valve job on my '69 Chevy Caprice and left the chains off when I installed the heads. Bad move. Left motor mount broke on WOT and the engine jumped up to the right and hung the throttle linkage at WOT.... Not a great experience. Here's the info on why they installed those chains.
"On December 4, 1971, General Motor (GM) announced it would recall over 6.68 million 1965-70 Chevrolets with defective engine mounts. The recall covered 1965-69 full-size Chevrolets, 1965-69 Chevy II’s and Novas, 1967-69 Camaros, and 1965-70 Chevrolet/GMC light trucks, all with V8 engines. (NHTSA Recall 71-0235, now 71V-235.)
Engine mount breakage causes a self-perpetuating chain of events. When the left-side mount breaks, engine torque causes the engine to rise up, pulling open the accelerator linkage; this causes even more upward movement, and consequently more opening of the accelerator linkage, until the engine’s movement is stopped by the closed hood. Moreover, the engine’s upward movement pulls the power brake booster vacuum hose loose, thus greatly increasing the force needed to stop the car. Also, the automatic transmission “PRNDL” quadrant would shift itself over one position to the right (e.g., from D to L), affecting all gear positions; this meant that the car no longer had a Park position, and could be started in Reverse"
Edit: BTW, I'm a service director at a Ford dealership. Ford has more issues with their products, across the board now more-so than anything I've ever seen in my more than 4 decades of being in the auto industry....
My dad bought a new '65 Chevrolet Impala SS, 283 w/2 speed PowerGlide Trans. There was a recall around 1969 with the motor mount mentioned here. The big safety issue was that if the mounts broke the motor would drop and the carburetor linkage would move into the full throttle position causing uncontrollable acceleration.
I remember reading GMs solution and free fix:
They were to put a cable under the engine suspending it from the motor mounts !
The dealer
That might be the dumbest goddamn solution I have ever heard.
You are wrong. I had a recall. Cable was placed through the engine side and through the frame side of the motor mount. Most motor mounts did not break unless used for drag racing like I was. The throttle was already to the floor. The cable kept the engine from twisting over putting bind in linkage if the mount broke. Motor would not drop. It would flop over when torqued and on deceleration would come back to original position. Breaking motor mounts happened on all makes.
@@garybray3614
Ok...lighten up; I was 8...it was over 50 yrs ago...I don't recall every detail. I remember my dad talking about the cable and read about the cable in a GM letter.
Not sure what you got, but what I recall is what I recall.
@@garybray3614 that's right, I had a 1965 SS, for 16 years, one hell of an awesome car with a 327
@@mayberrygary25 Trying to educate not fight. I had 67 Camaro/327/4 speed. Auto cars had to shift into neutral to get motor to flop back which released throttle linkage. Manual trans car, you just pushed in the clutch. Car was still driveable as long as not aggressive with throttle. The passenger side mount was still good. Driver's side is one that broke. By the way, cable was emergency fix because Chev did not have enough new designed mounts to replace. Had to wait until mount received then cable taken off and thrown away with installation of new design mount.
i bought my daughter a Nissan Exterra about 15 years ago. it's still going with 250,000 miles with no major issues. Never had any problems with a Sentra either other than the battery terminals and warped brake rotors. The Rogues are fine to me except at 150,000 miles i had the transmission replaced for $2500. Then they go another 100,000 miles . They're good cars to me. i also prefer the Nissan styling over Toyota. in the old days a car would not last more than 75,000 or 100,000 miles without major mech repairs , rust issues and on and on.
My dad is on his 3rd Nissan Xterra with like nearly 300k miles
Good work
That injector trick is GENIUS
I love the look of the new big bronco but Scotty isn’t wrong! I won’t buy any new vehicles I will stick to my 90’s model vehicles
👍 Past 06 the electronic transmissions start getting very complicated and costly!
I'll never buy the POS they all make now. F that!
Yeah, I'm sticking with my old school 2011 Ranger 4x4...best most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I really love the looks of the new Bronco, but they had better get the bugs worked out before I'm getting one.
12k on my 22 bronco 2.3 no problems at all
I remember the old tagline from 80s Ford Commercials, "Quality is Job 1" 😶
Still drive my old 2007 Civic and it runs like a champ.
It's old but so good.

Scotty, I know that there is a real stigma about the Prius being "mom's" car. I have had two and my fishing buddy has two. He has a 2009 with 200K miles and it still has 85% of the original power to the Hybrid battery. I had a 2010 and put 155K on it. Sold it and bought a 2017 Prius because of the upgraded suspension and electronics package. The 12 volt cranking battery was giving out and I purchased a new one from the dealer. It has an 84 month warranty (unheard of in the industry.) The Hybrid battery for the 2017's have a 10 year full replacement warranty. I have averaged 61.6 MPG on my 2017 and it has 63K on it right now. I just think that it is the car to buy, new or used. I did pick up the electrical warranty for the computers and screens. It was only 400 dollars in 2017. Toyota has been building the Prius since 2005. They know how to build a hybrid.
i have a 2012 with 104,899 miles on it and my brakes are still in good shape because of the regenerative braking.
The new gen prius are pretty cool especially the prime
What is your secret? Is there some "weird trick" like do you run down the battery (allow it to go to 5% or so) every week or so? Also, are you in the north or south?
Just stay out of the left lane please, cant tell you how many I have passed doing 55 in a 60
You want a cookie? Oh thank you for saving the planet!!
I always laugh at the new bronco crowd. They always insist on saying how great it is and that's because they paid so much for them. Nobody who knows cars buys the first model year especially on something that expensive. The reality is most people who buy those things are just awed by how many cup holders it has.
They are great and I paid under msrp. Find some new material.
@@thomasberkey8163 So it has enough cup holders to cruise the local mall?
I had reserved a big bronco, but as soon as I heard of the engine problems I pulled out 😄 love the ole school bronco tho
We’re actually in the 2nd year now and heading into the 3rd year. Nice try
I was looking at a used bronco yesterday. Im glad I saw this
Right on with Gen. Stark's motto, "live free or die"
This is why I'd never buy a first year vehicle!
Good
See all the trouble people had that bought the 1st series Tundra what a headache .
. (((( 🧠)))) ❗️
the trick is always to buy the last year
@@marciliojunior4919 fully agree.....last couple years of a model generation are best. Had a very reliable and abused 93 mustang which was the last year of like a decade run of that generation.
Only reliable first year car I owned was a wrx but that was based on long term platform available in Japan and was built was built in Japan.
Nahh try to aviod getting in debt older cars are more reliable than the newer cars in general.
@@theshield1613 some people need a warranty, in this case buying an old used car is not an option.
Isn't a standard rule of thumb is to wait a year or two whenever a new model comes out?
If only cocanuts would learn this very concept. But everyone has green eye's...
It always takes a year or two to work out the kinks. You are correct.
put 10k miles on my 4 door v6 base bronco before i sold it for a nice profit. glad i had no issues.
Scotty we just bought 2007 honda crv 1 owner with 70k miles and love it. it has the k24 motor.
I worked for Ford moving vehicles and they breakdown everyday.💀🔥

@@christopherjones512 Even Ford admitted it crap.
It's a shame, because Broncos are very cool. Toyota better bring back the FJ Cruiser to North America and redesign it, to rival the Bronco.
If Jeep starting putting a 5.7 V-8 in their Wranglers, they wouldn't be able to keep any in stock.
agree 100%
@@AStanton1966 you can get a 6.4L V8 HEMI starting at $80k. Personally I think anyone spending that type of money on a Jeep should have their head examined.
That or a two door retro Land Cruiser.
@@dr.emilschaffhausen4683 Do you mean the Land Cruiser Prado? Because the flagship Land Cruisers only come with 4 doors, unless you mean the very old ones like the J40, or the pickup version of the J70.
Consumer Reports is pretty accurate!
Same problem they have had since 2000 with the grenading focus single cam engines
That is why you never buy the first few years of a new vehicle. I wish they came with the 5.0 V8.
A new Bronco with the Mustang 5.0 would be awesome 👌
I remember that GM motor mount fix. I was driving our Impala station wagon when it broke. My dads car and i remember they put cables around parts to hold the engine in place. It was a 65 model i think.
probably still in place
That’s why I went with a Trd off road 4runner
Scotty! I love my Toyota Tundra Crewmax Limited with an V8 engine 💪 on my way to the million miles Tundra club 👍
There have been 57 failed Bronco engines reported and all of them failed within a 1000 miles. 57 out of 220000.
That's 57 To many!
So far....
@@denttech2515 they have built 220000 to date
They're making more than 20k per month right now.
57 cadillacs out of 57 have an electrical issue off the assembly line. Heard this from a GM assembly worker.
My neighbor works at the Beyonce plant in Michigan. During the early days of the builds, he was home more than he worked and he still received 80% off his pay for those days off. And we wonder why the darn things are so expensive...
There's been less than 100 incidents of this, not enough to discount the entire line of broncos. You can always get the 3.0l or the 2.3 but even then I suspect the 2.7 is a random occurrence that happens with every manufacturer from time to time.
Absolutely Ford made all their metal and steel roles through their River Rouge steel plant.I can see them outsourcing because they make (also Kansas City)the f-150 in the certain areas of the river rouge site!The picture your showing is the Wayne,Mi. plant.
only early 2021 2.7 builds have the issue, 2022 have been solid
2015 to 2018 Ford F150s with the 2.7 suffer from leaky oil pans.
😆
because 2022's haven't been out long enough lol.....
It's amazing we've been building cars for over a hundred years and we get worse.
That's because of greed make more profit . The cost of new trucks and broncos are insane last new truck I bought was 2015 ram 1500 had over 100k ran great and I only had oil changed every 20k miles and it was a quiet engine 5.7 L hemi .
I wonder to myself if we are turning out qualified engineers from college these days or if they are just learning diversity, inclusion and equity. Ignition switch recalls, brake recalls, power steering recalls, airbag recalls, CVT transmission failures; does anybody know how to design anything that works anymore? Holy crap! AND it's way too expensive! We are paying more and more, and getting less and less.
They know how to design but they are designing on a razors edge of working for a certain amount of time, the warranty. Just right will be it makes it past the warranty for a while. Wrong is it fails under warranty. The better they make it the more it costs. So, trying to be cheap, some of these parts are failing under warranty. If it makes it past warranty and then fails, that was by design.
By design
and more expensive
Guy I work with has had his order on a bronco put in for 2 years now.
Had a hot hard start issue on a toyota.
Turned out to be the starting motor was worn.
Somehow the combonation of the heat and worn motor was causing a significant power drian.
The engine would sound like it was cranking fine, but it was apperently not enought to start it up when it was hot. Would start like a champ when it was cold.
After replacing the brushes on the starting motor, it started great both hot and cold.
Replace it with a 347 - problem solved
This only affected the 2021 model year. There have only been 48 total failures, so far. Not sure I would put it on the do not buy list.
Do you trust the number is an honest account?
Then you buy one
@@tonyz6421 I did, and for about a year and 10k miles so far, no problems. Love it.
@@dr.emilschaffhausen4683 the number came from the government, lol I'll just leave that right there.
@@phillmckrakin2518 Ha!
Respect. Not sure though Scotty. Wife has a 2015 Nissan Rogue. %100 reliable except for the battery. 76,548 miles. No issues. Have a 2013 Corolla needed more repairs. Also have ford trucks, no problems at least for me. Love the videos.
A drop test is a very good test on a typewriter. If you knock it off your desk and it falls, you'd like to think it would survive. Of course, it's far from the only test but it is an excellent test, nonetheless.
That's another thing wrong with going all EV's, there won't be much of a used car market, and if there is, the people will be getting ripped off.
Imagine buying used batteries. What could possibly go wrong? /s
It’ll take about 15 to 20 years for used EVs to start coming on the market and even then the price will still be high
@@brobroant6205 check AxtoTrxder.....over 8000 Teslas currently for sale in the U.S. Most of them with very low mileage. Buyer's remorse?? .
Good evening Scotty from Chicago, 👋🏻hope you and yours are doing well today. what you got for us tonight BROTHER!!
🧰🙌👍
evening and thanks, same to you!
I've been going around finding semi dead conversion vans of a specific type & years... simply for parts...by the time they stop letting you have them I'll already have enough spare parts to keep my show,work, daily driver & van trailers. running past my own lifetime....
This is just a batch of broncos with the 2.7 not all of em . I have a. F150 2.7 130k now no issues I seen one with 300k no issues
Oddly the 2.7 in the F150 seems to be pretty good. As far as parts go, I work at a company as an engineer in a different industry and I constantly see parts quality issues from both outsourced and in house produced parts. I think it’s just a general symptom of our society and it seems like within the past couple years no one puts any effort into their jobs.
I have a 2018 f150 2.7 eco . Only 37k miles. Bought brand new. No issues and great in gas. Ford should of put the same engine from the f150.
Aerospace machinist here and I could not agree with you more, people just don’t seem to take any pride anymore.
The 2.7 is good. The engine failure he speaks of was specific to piston rings, and was entirely taken care of immediately mid 2021, yet the same story keeps getting stirred up.
And he based an entire video on it.. Gross.
@@breaddrinker Yeah I mean it sucks and it's a major inconvenience if you bought one but in the end the owners are obviously taken care of under warranty and the issues are corrected. Everyone is having parts quality issues lately, I see it myself in my own industry and it's gotten worse.
@@Terminxman Same..
And yeah I totally get it. They narrowed it down so a series of potential failures on a really narrow run of VINs in 2021, but it's plagued those poor customers to wondering how reliable their beloved new truck is, and that can't be fun.
I'm much angrier over this wranglerstar style manipulative nonsense so many on youtube are handing on to their fans.
You can tell from the comments that it works on a lot of people.
NEVER consider Buying any car in first 3 years of Production.
Put tape over it.
West Virginia likes this message. 😆
Love all the vague references to our embarrassing pres admin, keep up the great work Scotty 🇺🇸
The "fix" for your recall is "not" to drive your car 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Ford Bronco should use a Japanese auto maker for the engines and transmissions.
It's based on the troller platform. Do you see the irony.
But not Nissan.
I like your sound effects, Scotty. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Scotty,
Sounds like a "HANDYMAN PEDRO" fix for the Nissan Air Bags.
Actually Consumer Reports (CR) has been very critical of the recent RAV4 generation (2019-2022) noting how they went backwards in overall ride, quality and reliability compared to the previous generation. I was looking to buy a new RAV4 in 2019, but when I saw the CR video about this model, I decided to purchase a 2018 model. It is far superior compared to the modern generation.
@T-boe the first your one car not breaking down doesn’t mean all of them won’t. There’s plenty of BMWs with 150k miles on it with no problems. That doesn’t mean they are high reliability. You’ve just been lucky.
Is Consumer Reports still impartial???
@@masontee8335 yes. Yes it is.
CR isn't critical of newer Rav4s at all. They say the engine is a little nosier and that's it.
Thats why I got a rav4 2017 le awd.
Has been great.
Scotty keeps forgetting about Mazda, even though he made a few videos about them. 2013+ CX5 >> Rav4&CRV. Mazda 6 is also pretty nice.
He has mentioned in the past that Toyota now has a bigger percentage of Mazda and that they share some technology and assembly plants.
Good grief!!! Seriously, you have never done real work on them...even a fn oil change is obserd
I have a 2011 nissan rogue with 150,000 miles made in japan still has original starter,fuel pump, thermostat,transmission, etc, knock on wood.
Not just the Bronco also the Maverick Hybrids having major issues not the 2.0 EcoBoost which is surprising as they always had issues. I wonder which is better made in Mexico or Korea? as there just as bad now lol. You ROCK Scotty!
My father bought a 65 Impala Super Sport new and it later had the motor mount recall, which were the chains you spoke of. The reason for the mandated recall was that the torque would twist the engine and cause the throttle to go wide open. It would then hold itself in that position with torque until you turned the key off. If you lived long enough.
We had a new 65 Impala wagon 283/4BBL it had a power brake booster defect.
When I see one on the road I chuckle every time. SUCKERS! Reminds me of the Korean fire burners Hyundai/KIA.
We run police interceptor explorers at my PD and we have had tons of problems with them
Surprised scotty didn’t see that the Hyundai and Kia’s were catching fire due to the trailer wiring harness ,, their fix is currently for the owners not to park the vehicles in garages or carports
The rebuilt battery explanation was awesome. When that becomes common knowledge then used electric cars will mostly likely become worthless, if they already aren't.
I'm so happy to have a reliable car. Minimum maintenance, have gone cross country twice through deserts and mountains. It's not the newest, baddest, car out there but it's sure as hell a Toyota!
Industrial grade tape is used for alot of applications, it could be the correct solution for KIA. If you don't know, most of the glass walls on high rise towers around the world is using industrial grade tape to keep the glass plates in place. So if you don't believe KIA, then I suggest you don't walk near any glass walls.( A friend of mine parked next to such a wall and one glassplate fell down from around 18th floor and went straight through the car roof 🤣, this was in the capital of a Middle East Country). Keep up the good work. I love your channel Scotty.
I had a 1978 280Z great car
Glad its taking so long for my order. From all the issues I've seen for the past year from the bronco group I don't think I'll be taking it
You might want to go ahead and back out, if there hasn't been any updates from Ford on their solutions for assessment and refinement, then you may be taking a gamble.
@@raymondj.2351 Yes probably won't take it. Most likely will get a Yukon instead. I heard the new don't come with a lot of issues 😅
Stop wasting money trying to impress people you hate
@@yogamatt443 I get what I like. Bye
@@oheyitskayyyyyy If you choose to go for the Yukon, try to go for the 6.2 Liter if you can, the 5.3 Liter has had it share of issues when it comes to the Valve Lifters being stuck, just another sign that build quality from most of these Manufacturers are not up to par like it should be.

I worked on a couple of these new Broncos and the first time I looked in the engine bay I was shocked at how crappy it looked. It is a hot mess in there.
You gotta be kidding me..it's beautiful, what because there's no Purdy engine cover you got all scared..smh, load a crap. 2022 Bronco best godamn vehicle I ever purchased, more fun than my MachE!

Kia and Hyundai just announced they're recalling the Tellurides and Palisade SUV because the trailer hitch could catch fire.
Trailer hitch catch fire? Whaaaaa????
@@jkmarshall3553 Read the news.
@@pedrofernandez8729 I'm not saying you're wrong. It's just a very bizarre place for a fire to start. I'll check out the news.
Ok, now it makes sense. It's the trailer hitch wiring.
@@jkmarshall3553 I guess the hitch is an option?
Wife's 1980-ish B210 Datsun frame literally rusted in half.. just behind the front wheels, And we ALL know the Proverbial Datsun 240Z rust problems.. Dad had a 1976 toyota Celica w/AC.. very nice..
When I saw all of those vacuum lines on the engine I knew there were going to be problems. This is just one of many upcoming problems
Super glue job !!! Lol can anyone build cars worth a damm anymore???? Scotty your great 👍
Yeah, and if that doesn't work, jam a bunch of liquid nails up in there. LOL
Makes you wonder. No matter the brand name or how much you spend, no idea how dependable they will be.
Scotty , you are a national treasure!!!!
To the yaris. I realized a bad TPS adjustment can cause that ritch engine
