Smoke from engine compartment

[Akmcomeaux]

2021 Bronco Sport Big Bend started smoking from the engine compartment when I tried to start it Monday. It was towed to the dealership but I’m still waiting for diagnostic.
Any similar experiences?

Interested in knowing what caused that. Wow!

Good grief, I scanned your answer and saw "roast" among the words (it's in your signature block) and thought "Well, that's in poor taste."

This was the message I got from service this afternoon “OK looks like it was the water pump that froze up. Smoke coming from the belt. Got water pump in belt coming should be here Tuesday covered under powertrain warranty.”

Sounds like you’ve got a good dealer, got right on it and kept you updated. Only Mark S. could have missed that only his ”Ebony” was roasted, and “Ebonies” taste pretty good with hot mustard. ??

Glad your're getting your ride back in short order. We keep seeing these horror stories on here about BS's in the shop for weeks.

It wasn't anything you wrote, it was my mistake. Sometimes certain words jump out at you when you're doing a quick scan; that word just happened to be the one when I scanned through your post. It just struck me as funny that my brain went there first.

That’s when they said the part should be in. Not sure that’s when I’ll get it back. ??

What is the mileage on your BS/BB?

I was told once by an electrician that there is magic smoke in all electronics. Once you let the smoke out, it will never be the same. I've found that to be true for many electric devices. Glad it was just a water pump and a belt for you.

Update: after getting my BS back from the dealership on 9/8 for the water pump and belt +a new battery, and sending it back on 9/11 for the week to finish the service that wasn’t done(air filter’s because the smoke in the cabin) , it stalled today after auto stopping on my way to work and had to be towed back to the dealership.
Also, couldn’t get the parking brake to release even with the emergency neutral cord pulled.

I’m afraid that magic may have happened.
