Problem overview

Some Ford Bronco Sport owners report experiencing coolant leaks at the front of the engine, which can lead to serious engine damage and overheating if not addressed promptly. These owners note the importance of checking for leaks both when the engine is cold and hot, as the coolant may evaporate when warmed, creating a noticeable smell. Additionally, some owners mention the need to regularly monitor the coolant level and inspect the radiator coolant recovery reservoir to ensure it remains at the appropriate level. Furthermore, some Ford Bronco Sport owners report leaking rear shock absorbers, which can negatively impact the vehicle's handling and stability, thereby affecting the overall driving experience. It is advised that these owners have their rear shock absorbers inspected by a qualified mechanic to assess the severity of the leak and determine if repairs or replacements are necessary. Prompt attention to these issues is essential for maintaining the performance and safety of the vehicle.
