We love Broncos but… what’s the most annoying “small issue” with your Bronco?

[exoshield]

Not talking major problems – just the stuff that slowly gets under your skin over time.

Could be:

• windshield chips
• Interior rattles
• Road noise
• Something random you didn’t expect

Curious what’s been the most annoying “little thing” for you so far.

I did enough research that I was well aware of common issues. My main gripe that bothers me on a daily basis is the location of the electronic parking brake switch. They could have placed a button anywhere on the dash or console like nearly every other vehicle today but they decided to put it in a spot that's out of sight and requires you to reach down near your knee. Clearly the people responsible for this are drivers that strictly drive automatics and are oblivious to the fact that parking pawl is not an adequate means of holding the vehicle on inclines/declines.

Finally got a windshield chip. But what can ya do? Nothing bugs me. It’s a highly functional vehicle and I’m not expecting it to be something it’s not.

IMO itis a fireable offense by the people that were responsible for placing it there.

That and the ASS button are in different locations on all 3 of our Fords. But AC and steering wheel controls they keep pretty consistent. The push pull design I don’t care for either. Just be thankful the Bronco doesn’t have the rotary shifter.

Interior plastic is the only thing that truly bothers me. I have OCD, so it’s a little worse. And you get the feeling of being ripped off on money spent.
I will add the CarPlay issues. Along with rock chip issues coming in third.

LIfe is too short to let things get under your skin. Either change it or accept it and get on with your life.

I'm CONSTANTLY chasing rattles.

… really, you could not find a better way to SELL your product then stir up chit? You’re on my do not buy list.

on the 2.3l the brakes are a little spongy. Everything else I live with to have a vehicle that I can drive 1000 mile to Moab do Hells revenge, Fins, Top of the World, and drive 1000 miles back home without being beat down.

Well said! The way I sit and being a heftier fellow at 245 pounds (promise, I'm a weight lifter), it's hard to always see the speedometer. I'd always have to bend the neck and look just below the top of steering wheel to see the readout. I purchased a HUD that projects speed onto the windshield and now I drive like a cool fighter pilot... but not as brave!

I miss having one of these...

For me, it would be the occasional brain fart the 360 cameras have, where the feed is blank. And I guess the other is that the B&O sound system in the Lux trim is B&O by name only

Parking brake switch and randomly losing audio. Force reboot doesn't fix it, only turning the vehicle off and exiting for 5 minutes

Most annoying is the double honk if you leave the car running with the key in your pocket. Haven't found a way to disable it, but man is it annoying.

 

[AZ_Liberty]

Right side window started rattling something fierce a couple days ago.

Double Honk when you get out to reach into the back of your mailbox is pretty obnoxious.

And I absolutely despise the electric parking brake.
