What’s your most annoying feature on the Bronco?

Missing memory seats. That really bugs me

I have learned that people close the doors to hard. You can pull or push the door shut inches from the latch. No reason to launch it.

I have learned the dance and roll routine with these windows how to open and close with minimum window rattle. Like the French it needs a massage before and after each use

1. Double Honk
2. E Brake location- especially when owning a MT....
3. More wind noise than ANY Wrangler I ever owned.....

OMFG the GODDAMN wind noise. On a 10 minute test drive it's OK. On a 10 hour road trip it is NOT ok.
Stupid start stop. $99 to get rid of it.

ok dumb question..what is the double beep? was it removed on '23 models?

 

[RimrockPaul]

Keep your hands on the steering wheel is mine...

I have no complaints at all. Life is too short to whine about stuff like cup holders and how many times a horn honks. Have fun.

if the car is running and you shut the door without leaving the key in the vehicle it does a loud double-honk. like starting it to let it warm up then going back into your house, or leaving it running (with a passenger) while you run into a store.

After a little over a year, the only thing that still gets on my nerves consistently is the Auto Start Stop.

2021-2023 Ford Bronco Autostop Eliminator is a great solution for this. It plugs in to the ASS switch module and simply remembers the state in which you previously left it. There are FORScan options for this, but it's not as clean.

I removed my Autostop Eliminator yesterday evening, as the Ford Performance Tune accomplishes the same, but it has served me well for over a year.

I think removing the two front panels of the hard top is a royal pain in the ass. I just cant get good at it and I always get a panel stuck or not lined up well enough to latch.

Should have got a soft top lol

Finally have one. Now I know what the OP meant when he said "Keep your hands on the steering wheel"

I actually like lane keeping features in modern cars, but it messaging to keep my hands on the wheel when they clearly are is really annoying.

Double honk is bad. I thought the GM triple honk was bad and it's probably still worse. Japanese and German cars seem to be able to have a different beep sound than the horn blaring.

Base speakers need replacing but I knew that would be the case.

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.

It is annoying when the thing tracks so straight down the road that it thinks you fell asleep. what do they think this is, a jeep?

Thank you!

LOL how is forscan less clean than an inline module
All you do is change a value in forscan and you're done, nothing left behind or shoved up under the dash.

I was always under the impression that the FORScan mod changed the behavior of the steering angle sensor. Looking through the spreadsheet it appears that 00 may disable ASS cleanly, but 01 and 02 can affect the steering angle sensor.

Start / Stop: 00=Disabled 01=Enabled, Angle Inhibit Enabled 02=Enabled, Angle Inhibit Disabled

The inline module stores the last known state and "presses" the button for you. To the vehicle's systems it appears as the operator is physically depressing the button. I find that to be a clean solution.

Nah, those are separate values that you don't need to fool around with in order to be on your merry ASS-less way. 00 and 01 are the only ones you want to utilize if all you're doing is disabling/enabling it, unless you have a very specific idea in mind while retaining your ASS function. You normally don't want the engine off when you move the steering wheel, as you could be drawing power for the rack as well as for the starter when it kicks on, and the two together could potentially overwhelm the battery, cause a delayed start, or reduce steering assist. That's what the angle inhibit value is for, enabled it will prevent the steering and starter from drawing at the same time, while disabled it will allow it (that could be backward, I've never messed with those variables and nobody else really needs to either, but you get the point). It does nothing to affect the steering sensor either way, it just includes/excludes the sensor as a variable for determining when ASS should be on or off. There may be some weird use for keeping ASS active and disabling the angle inhibit, I don't know what situation that would be though. Since the programmers added it, apparently it was a useful option at some point in time, or it might be useful sometime in the future, perhaps for troubleshooting or unforeseen problems, something along those lines.

If that's your only option, perhaps...but it's like keeping a USB drive stuck in your computer with a script that disables your screen saver by making it think you're moving the mouse a tiny bit occasionally, when all you have to do is disable the screen saver in the settings. If you're at work and you're locked out of settings, sure, that would be a clean solution. For any other situation, the cleanest option is to change the settings. Now, it could be argued that an inline module gives you the ability to turn ASS on or off whenever you want, and that's a fair point...but then again, the button on the dash does the same thing if you remember to push it, and it doesn't take long in forscan to alter a single setting if you change your mind. Plus it's free if you have forscan, everyone loves free.

I'm aware of my affinity for debating nonsense, so don't take any of this as if I'm trying to convince you any one way is better than another.

100% the god awful rain drainage on the softtop followed closely by the "hands on steering wheel". Denver typically doesn't get a lot of rain so I blew off the people saying the rain drainage was annoying but with the past month of daily rain I can now say I hate being drenched in rain whenever I roll the window down or open the door.

The hands on steering wheel I dont get - there must be some G spot I cant find on the stupid wheel to keep this from going off.
