2024 BRONCO BADLANDS 3 MONTHS OLD WITH 2,900 MILES. HAD THE CHECK BRAKE WARNING LIGHT COME ON AND THE RED LETTERS THAT SAY "BRAKE" ARE ALSO ILLUMINATED. TOOK THE BRONCO TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE CAUSE WAS A RODENT ATE THE WIRES GOING TO THE SENSOR THAT MONITORS THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL. THEY SAID THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE THE WIRE ARE MADE WITH SOY. SOY ATTRACTS RODENTS. I WAS BILLED $473.04 FOR THE REPAIR. THE SERVICE PERSON RECOMMENDED SPRAYING PEPPERMENT OIL ON THE WIRES
THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. WHAT IF A DIFFERENT WIRE WAS EATEN THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED NO BRAKES RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT WITH PERSONAL INJURY. WHAT IF A WIRE WAS EATEN THAT WOULD PREVENT THE BRONCO FROM STARTING, WHAT IF YOU LOST STEERING.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ON A $70,000 VEHICAL. FORD SHOULD REIMBERSE CUSTOMERS FOR THE COST OF THESE TYPE REPAIRS AND TREAT IT AS WARRANTY. THE ENGINEERS AT FORD ARE NOT STUPID AND KNEW THE WILL HAPPEN. THE NTSB NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT.
