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

My seat belt retractors are garbage.
The passenger one is basically just a strap and not a seatbelt.

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.
I turned mine off in the settings in the centre console. I believe the setting was called key detection alert, but I'll check when I get in it to go home

The lag time from when I press the break until I can shift into gear. Should not even exist but it gets me daily, it’s to damn slow.
All the damn honking it does when any door is opened or closed.
I don’t need these damn nanny features.

Probably a problem only for Canadians, (we really should pick one measurement system) but it bothers me that I can't have my dashboard in kmph and the boost pressure in psi. It lets you pick for the tires, so why not use that selection for all pressures?

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

Just trying to start a conversation around something a lot of owners deal with. Plenty of good input from the community already.

Double honk.

Key fob is so big and buttons are too raised I set the alarm off at least once a week, sometimes multiple times, from my pocket just by bending over or lifting my leg up. I'm sure my neighbors hate me.

Constantly adjusting wiper speed because for some reason once you set a speed after 30 seconds or so they slow down on their own.

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.
huh interesting – definitely seems like not the most intuitive spot for it.

Feels like one of those things you eventually get used to, but still makes you question why they designed it that way.

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.
Oh no... not the dreaded windshield chip 😥. But that’s a solid way to look at it – At the end of the day your vehicle is meant to be used.

Thinking of riding it out, or fix it before it gets worse?
