What’s your most annoying feature on the Bronco?

[Galvez]

I was just getting ready to write this. The ghost operated headlights are second but I am going to get that fixed.

Same problem with 2 door Base model along with auto high beams not working. Two months and dealer run around with Ford Engineers to come up with a replacement module fix but working fine now. At one point service tech said the couldn’t check for auto high beams because they did not work at night! Morons everywhere.

Overall I do love it. MPG from Iowa to Texas in a Sas BD was 18.9 on 93 octane two fillups. Mostly highway 70-75 MPH. I reset the clock and have been trying to see what I can get out of Shell 87 octane locally and I'm above 21 MPG with very soft pedal and cruise control at 60 MPH to work. Mostly straight country roads.

MPG increases considerably below highway speeds. Where I might be getting 18mpg at 75mph, I could get 20-24mpg anywhere in the 55-65mph range.

That every time my wife and I get in the Bronco at the same time the Infotainment system syncs to her phone not mine. I've added and subtracted them multiple time in different orders and it doesn't matter who's was added first. She's even behind me in the alphabet and it still picks hers first. Like who's truck is it.... Just F'in annoying that we can set a priority.

NO POWER SEATS - I was shocked when I went to go pick up my brand new $50,000 (before tax) Bronco in 2023, and it has Manual seat adjustments. The 2008 Toyota base model that I am replacing has power seats that work great! How is it possible that a $50k MSRP vehicle has manual adjust seats (and they also difficult to adjust) Both my wife and I drive it, so the seat has to be adjusted everytime we switch drivers.

CENTER ARMREST - It's too far back to rest your right elbow on it and drive. It is also hard and pointy. On a long drive I need a pillow or some support to drive comfortably.

ENGINE STOP/START -

THE KEYFOB - I hate keys. My house opens with pin keypad. I have 24 hour access to my corporate office via a credit card sized badge. etc.. Why the huge keyfob? I don't carry a purse.

My phone syncs to the Bronco while I'm inside the house in my office, and my wife starts the car in the driveway, and whatever I'm watching on my phone, the sound comes out of the Bronco Speakers, and I have to turn the bluetooth off on my phone! So Annoying!

Wish it had a simple radio, like every other vehicle I've owned for the last 40 years.

Where are you putting your arm? I find mine perfectly comfortable to put my right elbow on the center armrest with my hand on the shifter.

Agree the keyfob is stupidly large.

Most annoying feature by far - the one where you reserve and order your Bronco, they eliminate your top 2 color choices, push you into the next model year and then push you into the next model year again and you're still waiting nearly 3 years later - you mean that feature right?

Yeah - Can't really argue with you there.

Especially when they are paying half.

Not enough presets for Sirius radio and not really a feature but getting in to start the engine and getting the message Key Not Detected

Most Annoying: Snap on floor mats and only having 1 snap for the passenger side.

from a symmetry perspective or because it moves too much? The only reason they have them on the driver's side is for safety, but I'd imagine with doors off it makes sense to lock them all down somehow.
