No, it is not to be expected. Do not accept crap quality. There is a TSB on this exact issue. Which means Ford acknowledges there is an issue.

What TSB is there. I haven’t seen one.

My passenger seat has an annoying rattle no one is in it. It started recently so I will have the dealer look into at my next service.

Hi there! I can look into your Bronco's noise concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your Bronco's VIN?

My hardtop has a slight rattle. Sounds like its coming from the mid panel (above the back row seats) and sounds like its coming from the passenger side. It doesn't bug me too much, just something I've noticed since purchasing my bronco.

My bronco is whisper quiet in the squeak and rattle department - BUT, when I do accelerate from a standstill there is this slight "creaking" noise....its very subtle but i hear it every time....like there is something creaking in the engine bay.....(a GREMLIN???? MOGWAI???)
Did you find this?
My gas pedal creaks when applying pressure, probably the first 1/4 the way of travel, then stops after that point, comes back as you let off the pedal at the same point.
Almost like a rubber-on-rubber creak/rubbing.
I'm going to investigate it this weekend and see if an adjustment or lube is needed on a bushing or pivot point.

Also some undetermined rattle in the passenger door panel area. Not a window, not the grab handle, not the storage basket. I don't think it is the tensioner drum for the seatbelt.
I will find it.
I will fix it.
Or I'll go crazy trying.

My tailgate rattled pretty good, till I did the trick of spraying grease on the inner structure. Seems good now. My windows rattle if they are not fully up or fully down. Not unbearable.

I have a rattle from or in the driver door. It started after trying to open the door the first time the windows froze up. It might also be from the driver side passanger door as Ive not fully pin pointed it. Something sounds loose in one of those doors. Thoughts or knowledge anyone?

Hey there. I can look into your Bronco’s rattle concerns on my end if you’d like. Will you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership info?

My loudest rattle is from the first aid kit I have strapped to my Molle Panel that comes unsnapped on occasion. It does drowned out the other rattles though so I tend to just block it out until someone else mentions something about it.

It’s this bracket for the top bolt mounting. One of the screws is loose. I published this finding a while back and several other people fixed the same rattle, same screw, same passenger side. Mine was stripped and wouldn’t screw in anymore. Filled the void with electrical tape which has worked for several months so far.

A lot of us have the passenger seat rattle. Haven’t found the source yet. I have to have the seat mostly all the way back and raised some to slow that rattle down a bit. Let us know if you figure it out!

Do you have a soft top or hard top? How bad is the wind noise? Looking into 2 dr Broncos but the more I read about these issues the more scared I get, lol.
