Consumer Description

Rotational scraping noise from manual transmission, especially when cold and neutral (1st and 2nd gear). Ford Dealer at Autonation Ford Union City, Georgia stated that they would need to replace the 5th and 6th synchronizer rings to resolve this issue. Bought certified used from Capitol Ford in Charlotte, NC with 8213 miles, hear noises but it was soft, but the more I drove the louder it got. Now Bronco has 9064 miles. No accidents, no off-roading, and this seems like a safety issue from the manufacturer because the shifting is difficult.
