Have a B-pillar that appears permanently etched. I suspect this is part of the reason mine sat on dirt mountain for months. Service ordered a replacement in August. Still hasn’t arrived. I am to the point where I’m more curious if it ever will than anything. I might just paint both pillars or put a cover over it like I’ve seen posted here.

There is also a Nike like swoosh on my hood where it appears a hose slid over wet paint. Clear coat is on top of this swoosh. I have also decided to live with this. After applying a ceramic coating, it’s hard to even see. Need to look from just the right angle. I feel a body shop is more likely to screw up my hood than make it look better at this point.

no mechanical issues so far
Cool! Which ceramic did you opt for? I’m going with Adam’s Graphene.

I used Adams advanced graphene. It’s a lot of work so I want maximum benefit. Took me 7 hours (with some downtime in between of course). With that much effort and knowing it’s $1200 to have someone else coat, the extra $80 was a no brainer. Also, buy the kit. I plan to apply a boost ever 4 months or so. Wash with Adams shampoo, it’s amazing how the hydrophobic properties bounce back after a wash.

process:

1. Wash
2. Clay bar
3. Rinse
4. Polish (I hand polished, felt it was new enough to get away with)
5. Rinse
6. Surface prep
7. Apply graphene

i use RainX on glass/mirrors. 303 on fenders and interior.

Thanks! I have the kit, and the Adam’s Graphine Detailer with a gallon refill on the way. I couldn’t help myself. I’m having my detail shop do the coating. I don’t have a garage, it’s cold here on Long Island and I don’t want to screw it up.

nice! Adams recommends leaving it out of elements for 24 hours to cure. I plan to rotate the graphene detailer and boost. I wish Adams would lay out a care plan. I’ve had to piece it together a bit. Of course, anytime I see a car wash plan, it’s absurd the level people go to. I want it to look / be awesome, but it’s still just a vehicle, and a truck at that.

Clunking noise when brake peddle comes back up, drives me crazy especially when no radio is on. I have read others with the same problem has anyone gotten this fixed by their dealer?

Also, a vibration in the BO Subwoofer in the back when certain songs with a solid bass play. Planning on bringing it to my dealer

If you have a 2.7, which I’m assuming you do because the Wildtrak emblem next to your username, this is completely normal due to the EBB (electronic brake booster). Nothing to be fixed because that’s just an operating characteristic.

I think it’s difficult for Adam’s to customize a care plan, because everyone’s exposure to the elements is different. I may be committing car care heresy, but I use a brushless car wash on a regular basis. After drying, I use a ceramic detailer on my current car. It looks beautiful and shines like a diamond.

Sitting at the dealer going on week 3 waiting for steering gear part that doesn’t ship until next week. Driveshaft replaced under recall. Just under 30k.
How did the driveshaft replacement go for you? I'm still waiting for mine to get in.

They did it while waiting for the steering gear, but it was a special order when I had it in last for routine service. Originally arrived to the dealer without the hardware from what I was told.
good luck with yours , I’ll be able to comment further on any noticeable differences soon I hope . It’s been a giant Bronco buzzkill but crap happens right ….

Hey thanks Ducati but I find it hard to believe this is normal, I have had many vehicles and this is the only one with that weird clunk. Do you know if it's specific to Bronco? I also own a Lincoln Aviator and it's smooth as it should be. Strange to me

Not sure if it happens with other vehicles, but here is a SSM from Ford saying it’s normal for 2.7/3.0 Bronco.

Omg so bizarre!! Thank you so much for sending. I have to investigate this makes no sense to me especially if other Ford vehicle’s are “normal”. I would love to know other vehicles and manufacturers that have this same noise and why most to my knowledge do not. Seems like a major design flaw to me.

The electronic brake booster used by Ford is relatively new. There are a few other models that have it now though. Not sure if your aviator is one of those. Other manufacturers may have something slightly similar being used, but not the same as the Ford design.
