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

[BlueWaffle]

Yeah, that’s a good one, especially since other Ford models already had it.

Seems like a small thing, but makes a big difference day-to-day.

Did you end up adding something aftermarket or just getting used to it?

Idk if getting used to it would be the right term or if its just that I'm dealing with it lol.

The blind spot monitoring system does the job for the most part to be fair but... For being only 35 y.o I'm pretty old school.. Id rather be able to SEE what's in my blindspot instead of just getting told that something is there. I find that they really help when backing a trailer up too in a lot of cases.

Perhaps someday I'll finally get tired of it and stop at napa/advance/wherever else and buy a pair of the little stick-on bubble mirrors... Or mabey not time will tell.

2nd this. The plastics are my only complaint.

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.

You should be able to ForScan out the double honk, unless you have a newer Bronco. I did that to my ‘22

The wife will be ecstatic, thank you!!

No problem! That was among the first things I coded out with ForScan when I got my Bronco

There is no excuse for the windows rattling when not fully closed or fully open. The only other thing to me that is a negative isn’t the actual vehicle but the way Ford dices up the options throughout the trim levels. I truly believe more Broncos would be sold if instead of forcing consumers to acquire desired options through specific trims they made the majority of options available on all trims that are not “ Special Editions”. Instead of Heritage this and Stroppe that they provide a “ U Build” edition.

I'm with the electric park brake haters. I put it in the annoying issue list only because I never use the stupid thing other wise it would go in the hater list. Key fob too big and annoying, double honk thing double annoying.

Key fob panic button should be in a different location on the fob instead of being the highest placement on the fob.
I set it off all the time when it’s in my pocket if I lean up against the workbench or bump my pocket.

Windows fixed for free if still under warranty period. Still lame to be sent out that way. Option changes are ways to maximize profits. It would be nice to just have a Bronco and select what you want. But that’s not the best for profits. Besides, mine trim has the orange badge on the side. So mine is more special than the others in the parking lot. JK.

Yea totally get that. There’s something about actually seeing it vs being told.

Those little bubble mirrors might not look the best, but they definitely get the job done.

We'll have to see what happens

That one seems to get everyone at least once

Nothing like accidentally setting off your own alarm for no reason!

yeah that’s a solid list.

A lot of owners are mentioning the key fob and double honking!

 

[exoshield]

The button. The one I forgot to press a least once every day. You know the one.

yep, everyone’s got that one button.

I tend to think of how things can go wrong and leave me stranded. The major two concerns are the electric parking brake and electrically controlled transfer case. I know how to manually release the parking brake but haven't learned how correct a transfercase control problem. That means putting it in neutral, high or low from under the Bronco.

If my phone is plugged in, and I cycle the ignition, Android Auto doesn't automatically reload. I disconnect and reconnect the phone to enable Android Auto.

Very minor annoyance. 1st world problem really.

Lack of a V8 option, V6 twin turbo is good but having a V8 would make me upgrade asap.
