Bronco's unexpected quirks. What'cha got!?

[Roll Sound]

That would be asinine. Hope the un-adjustable ones aren’t “super forward”

I'm curious, can someone with MGV confirm this?

My 2021 BD Sas Mid package MGV headreasts adjust up and down but do not tilt front to back.

My front passenger window doesn't roll up on its own sometimes when you close the door.
Not overly annoying but will definitely be calling dealership about it.

My cloth OBX headrests only go up and down. No Tilting

Any chance you have an inclinometer and a camera? Let’s see that angle! LOL

But seriously…Do you mind taking a quick pic? Curious how it compares to the full-forward / full-tilt of the “adjustable” version.

Inquiring minds and all that….

Thx mate.

I'm late to this party but overall happy with my 2 door BL. I think the first thing that really bothered me was the "sound" of the 2.3. It has that "economy rental car" sound without the economy part. I mean the view out the windscreen makes me feel like it should be a growling V8 and all I get is Toyota Corolla.

I am not a professional photographer (obviously). I'll try to get better pics tomorrow in daylight.

No rear cup holders with MGV seats. I have two kids....

Yup no rear cup holders, I have two kids also. I also have the leather seats with supposed cup holders that are totally useless.

I've got a new one to add to the list.. the Brake pedal makes a strange noise when letting off. Almost like a thud sound. Maybe I need to check for a missing rubber bump stop or something? Anyone else notice this or just me?

My brake petal noise is more of a squeak or squill than a thud. I thought it needed to break in a bit at first, but months later it still makes same noise.

That would be asinine. Hope the un-adjustable ones aren’t “super forward”

Dude you better go test a non leather Bronco seat. I remember the headrest being very forward. Enough so for me to think I would have to rip it out.

I'm curious, can someone with MGV confirm this?

confirmed looooooong ago.

Blown Engine at 4500 miles. The wind whistle bothered me, but I think my blown engine tops it.

My back window did the same as others reported and wouldn’t roll up all the way, but still the engine thing takes the cake.

Not a quirk... That's broken

The Bronco has the most obnoxious ABS unit I've ever heard. Good lord does that thing make some awful noises. It sounds like a dozen weasels are trying to claw their way out of the engine bay while simultaneously being strangled. WTH Ford, none of your other ABS units sound like this

If it makes you feel any better, the 2.7 isn't much better. The 2.3 does sound worse...economy car is a good way to describe it, but the 2.7 honestly doesn't sound good either.

A corolla probably "sounds" better, actually, as most cars nowadays have fake engine noise pumped in.

I think it's just you dude...

I've driven 3 Broncos. They all sound the same. The ABS unit makes some ridiculous noises. Have you played around with it? Those sounds you hear from trail turn assist come from the ABS, and it makes those noises any time the unit is active, so if you're on icy roads it does it a lot.

I'm not complaining, it's just weird. No other car I've driven has an ABS that sounds like this. You can hear all of them, but not like you can in a bronco.
