My XJ had the issue, turned out to be old battery cables shorting out. Replaced them with an upgraded kit and never an issue again. I think it's pretty common as they sell a sht-ton of those cables.

the power assist is electric, but the wheel is still connected to the linkage. You don't lose that in a power loss.

Now that I've had my coffee, this is sounding more and more like the classic bad ground situation (all vehicles suffer from it from time to time). I wonder if the fine, highly compensated, mechanics at the dealership fiddled with the ground and didn't secure it properly when done.

if its not a mechanical e-brake, it doesn't work in a power failed situation.

Not that I don't believe you, but can you explain this part a little more? How would grass stop you? Are you sure that in full panic mode (which is understandable), and it happening so fast, that you are mistaking the manual braking effort finally working with the grass stopping you? Again...

This is my thinking, but I'd like to hear from Ford on this, and from anyone that has experienced it. A younger version of myself would have hopped in and tried it out, but I wouldn't advise anyone to do that.

I just can't wrap my head around the idea that you couldn't use the brakes at all. I understand some people never stopped a car with manual brakes (no assist), but is this a real thing with modern cars? I might have just found the real reason I need to skip my HE order and go with the...

I hope you end up getting one if you're still wanting one. I really think Ford's biggest problem in all this, is that they tried to get involved at the consumer level, which if you think about it, its pretty unprecedented, and that has backfired. They aren't setup to be a direct-to-customer...

I wasn't trying to take a shot at the OP, he had some grievance. But many of us wanted early rumored festures that never materialized like a mod-top, 2 door man-squatch or whatever on day one. But where I and a lot of us diverged was that we didn't rely on the dealer OR Ford to just passively...

Oh I'm sorry Nancy.

Ouch! I'm sorry about that. On the other hand it makes me glad I followed this site since day one. My 4th Bronco order, made one at a time since day 1, is a 2door Heritage scheduled for Feb build. It sucks that your dealer left you hanging out to dry, I blame them instead of Ford. Ford...

I don't think the Heritage is lacking in interest.

So if the tree in the mall landscape ever falls over, then this eyesore might have a use.

Sorry to hear about the accident. I really wish Ford had put a hand brake on the Bronco. It's funny, the Ineos Grenadier that I have on order at the same time as my Bronco has a real hand brake, but doesn't have an MT. If either had both it would be my choice (as it is I'm probably sticking...

Best review so far.

My 24 will be my 4th ordered Bronco, I have not received a single one of the assembly-line pics (MY 21, 22, 23, 24) I'd be shocked if I get one on the 24.

Mine in my profile pic is pretty damn rare Contrary to popular opinion, most of the 22 Everglades were ordered as dessert sand. I haven't seen another 22 Everglades in A51 even for sale, much less in the wild. That said, I agree with the poster above that right now the yellow HEL 2door is...

I've worked from home for 12 years but I still manage about 8K miles a year on my daily driver. Don't you folks ever leave the house? Get outside and breath some clean air! Jeez you have a Bronco, go somewhere in it!

that's a joke offer even in a terrible market, especially for a low production purpose-built vehicle. It says more about Vroom's situation (over extended), than anything else. I wouldn't buy stock in any of the big secondary dealers right now that's for sure. Your HE is probably worth at...
