I'll start by saying I LOVE my Bronco. The only real complaint I'd have so far is the wireless charger for the phone in the Lux Package. As expected, the phone slides around in the compartment and so it doesn't charge. It's been a completely useless feature for me.
I have noticed that even if it doesn't even move the charging will stop. Have no idea why. I even did a little experiment in the garage. It started charging and in a bit just stopped.

It’s really dark inside the vehicle at night. I never thought about losing a roof light due to it being a convertible. Surprised they haven’t designed other lighting locations.
Don't you have a cabin light on the rear roll bar cross member? I accidently found that I had to turn it on with a button in the above console by the front row overhead light buttons.

I pointed that out to one of the engineers at a showing for the Bronco and his reply was "you are right" I will let the team know your concerns... lol
I wonder if water is getting under the floor liner here?

ever had a jeep? wranglers do this too, its due to the pressure in the cab. (***Per my research on the wrangler forum***) The seals in the wrangler (and im assuming in a bronco) are designed to keep water out, therefore they make the doors really hard to close.

My rubicon did this until i replaced my freedom panels with the bestop sunrider. now theres enough of an opening somewhere to let enough pressure out that my doors close easily now. i wouldnt worry about this as long as nothing is rubbing.

maybe test this out by keeping your window cracked open to see if the door closes easier. or keep another door open while you test it out
Mine is not hard to close. I yell at my Jeep owner son for slamming my doors so hard.

After 1100 miles my only complaint is the 4cyl sounds terrible. Not the exhaust note, the actual engine at idle rattles. My gf thought somethingwas wrong with it it sounds so bad. The jbl soundbar makes the rear window useless but I expected that, and the sound quality is good enough for me, so fair trade off. What's weird is when I remote start it the rear defrost turns on. No idea why

I think this is the one. If not, the one on the right. One turns them on. The other sets them to turn on when the doors are opened.

What kind of adjustments can you do? Just brightness level?
yes that is all I have been able to do. Unlike my mustang I believe it only has one color which is ok with me anyway. I'm not a fan of all the pretty pinks and greens etc. The brightness range settings is more than adequate.

The back seat "cup holders" do not hold anything at all. They are shallow and everything falls and flips out of them. That is just dumb.

I experienced a low frequency reverb noise in the cabin while off roading this weekend - particularly on washboard roads (MIC 2.0 roof) - opening the windows a little helped a little - but not much.
Now drive a truck on washboard roads. No contest. Trucks are so much louder.
  • Some rattle from the front latch area of the soft top, particularly in the cold
I'm about to improve your world - It's the visor. In my Bronco, it's the passenger visor. It took me 2 months to figure it out, even with a helper trying to identify the source.

I've noticed that if I try to roll up all 4 windows at the same time, sometimes the front passenger window will just stop half way up
Happens to me sometimes, also

I was trying to figure out what that button was the other day. I've had my Bronco for months and did not know that, so thank you!

dammit........I "think" it is using the in dash display and the buttons on the steering wheel. I will try
to figure it out again lol. I spent about an hour going through just about every setting and configuration menu on the truck. It does a lot more than people think.
