Do (mostly) no issues Broncos exist?

[broncobase1]

On a forum you are going to hear about problems. Especially a Bronco site where people lose their mind over heated steering wheels and plastic dash panels! I have a 22, and there was a few issues with window and door alignment which were easily resolved. Overall I'm very happy and the 2.3L is great, smooth and plenty of power. In daily driving rarely get into boost, but its there when you need it. No vehicle is perfect -- just look at Toyota trucks right now!! Congrats on your purchase.

Only issue I had on my ‘23 was random electrostatic feedback sounds when using Carplay.

But apparently a software update fixed it since it does not do that anymore.

Zero mechanical issues.

Jealous of those with problem free Broncos. Mine is certainly not one of them.

I've said it before, but given my lack of issues, I don't think I'm getting the full 6th Gen Bronco experience.

Mine hasn't been back to the dealer since I bought it. Granted I've only had it a little over a year and a half and close to 14,000 miles. But I have definitely put it through its paces.

THE ONLY ISSUE I MAY HAVE IS THE CAMERAS GOING OUT OCCASIONALLY. BUT I HAVE A FELLING IM DOING SOMETHING. JUST HAVENT HAD THE TIME TO FIGURED IT OUT.

Zero problems, headlight switch and wiper control recalls the only work it's had done, and that was when it was in for oil changes with no difference in the average time for the oil changes...

I would assume so. This is, after all, generally an enthusiast group. Even FB to a point. You will generally hear about issues first. However the ford apologists are beyond annoying.

With that said mine has never left me stranded. But it is by far the cheapest feeling car on the inside I have ever owned and the quality is well below par. I have had a number of trips to the dealership for issues with the infotainment system and driver aids and such. Now the cheap interior materials are starting to show some concerns at the three year mark. I like the car a lot but it sure feels like Ford just tossed the interior together with little thought and care and built to smallest amount of money.

For context I am making my main comparison with the interior to JK's. Both new and used ones I've owned.

2023 and 17 months in. Zero issues.

8 months and 16,000 miles in 2 door Big Bend--no issues of any type.

33 months and 30k and all of my problems are self inflicted - except the noisy trans, which isn't causing any trouble beyond the noise.

Aside from the Getrag rattle, a small pinion seal leak, and occasionally resetting my window regulators, my Bronco has been great.

New owner here. Bought a new Big Bend 2.3L, manual trans, soft top a couple weekends ago. Have put almost 500 miles on it (5 on the odo when I test drove it) so far and I love it! Everything works as it should. The engine is smooth, the trans is smooth, and carplay even stays connected to my iphone.

I lurked here on the forum for a month or so before I bought the Bronco and almost decided not to buy one due to the posts on this forum. I know folks are more likely to post when they have issues, but are any of you driving what has been a mostly issues free Bronco? It's hard to tell if the good ones outnumber the problems some times.

Here's a pic from our first weekend of driving around the Texas hill country backroads.

No issues... 2021 Big Bend Sas with 72K miles... I went on and did my 1st oil change at around 1000 miles to get all the metal shavings out
