If you could get rid of one ownership headache, what would it be?

[exoshield]

When I start up the bronco with the doors off, I'm greeted by a thousand beeps and warnings. "door system not connected" "passenger door ajar" I shift into D and i get "transmission not in park" with 10 beeps in a row. Like what? I get a warning for putting the car into Drive??

Then I finish a drive and put the car in park. Take off my seatbelt and I get a seatbelt warning with another 10 beeps. I can't clear it from the gauge cluster either. While sitting motionless in Park... (this one happens with the doors on as well)

There's just so much annoying software BS that I have to sit through/listen to everytime I drive

Yeah, ok. That sounds like a headache...and headache inducing

Th ever-cracking MIC top is probably the top on my list.

MIC Top issues. Currently on my 3rd top.

The payment.

A close second is having to put it back in 2H when using sports mode.

Parking brake is the dumbest thing in the universe.

I hate that it's electronic. I hate that it's a button. I despise the location.

Yuuuuuuup. Where did they start for you? The usual corners and edges?

3rd?! That's brutal. Hopefully 3rd times the charm.

I'm annoyed that somebody hit me and that I've been without my Bronco for over a month now between insurance BS, parts ordering, body shop crap, etc. probably will be another month too.

But I'm guessing that's out of Exo Shield's wheelhouse.

You need Baja mode. It’s basically 4H sport mode.
I got it today with my Superchips Flashcal+.

i also got rock crawl mode with it. and no more double honk

The electronic E brake. It should be manual. The fuel tank on the 2 door is too small. I want a 20 gallon tank. The butter soft plastic interior trim. It's garbage. Swing gates are stupid. You can't tail gate with a swing gate. The round wheel wells are less desirable than the elongated wheel wells. Why did you do that, Ford? The rear speaker pods get in the way. Hate the engine auto stop, thanks for the switch, at least. The horn when I leave it running and walk away. Yes, I know it's still running, I'm not an idiot.
Oh, right, you said one. Well, consider all of those one gripe.

1.0 That so much of the machine mechanisms are computer controlled; how stable and long-lived is your laptop or desktop?
1.1 All of the “press OK” idiocy. The worst is that it wants me to confirm I know I’m wearing my seatbelt and all is good.
1.2 MIC top worries; no cracks yet, but I’m pretty sure they are coming.
1.3 The ground clearance could be better; all the brackets and whatnot sticking down. Those tend to hit before rails or plates.
1.4 The e-brake and all that has been said about it.
1.5 (Leaving room to edit later
Edit: the 10-speed auto tranny 4L downshift rev that whams the Bronco into whatever is 12 feet ahead! ).

there, ‘got it all within 1 full whine.

This, I assume, will be passed on to Ford.
How about a symmetrical “likes” for our Broncos that should be carried through to the next year models?

Soft shitty interior plastics.

Honestly...

Compared to other cars we have, not a gripe from me. I've got a startup sequence down that turns off ASS, collision sensors, headlights...

Got rid of the stupid double honk thanks to a buddy with a dongle that hooks up to the OBD port...

Maybe (and its a small gripe) a bigger gas tank (I have the 2-door varietal) would be nice to have a bigger tank... but so far hasn't been an issue.

Rear seat/cargo area lighting was pretty sucky... I made my own LED light bar that runs off rear courtesy light. Lights up cargo area bright as day.


Oh... and had a dumba$$ teen on an e-bike slam his head into the front fender... hard enough he needed staples in his leg and scalp. Left a faint dent the size of a robin's egg in the driver's front fender. Ford should have made front front fenders out of steel, not aluminum. What were they thinking...

Having to purchase through a dealer.

I'd prefer to purchase direct, like Tesla and Rivian.
