Quality Problems

Rough and unpredictable shifts from the 10 speed auto? *Laughs in 7 speed manual*

That’s what the 2 keys are for. Each one recalls how that key is driven. Going from a heavy pedal driver to a light pedal or vice versa causes bucks and other shift issues. Resetting the battery will let them retrain. I got a fast key and normal key for my burban. Depends what mood I’m in. Shift points are totally different between the 2. First thing that should be done with any new vehicle is a reset on the battery.

I didn't realize Ford did that with the Bronco key FOBs. I know my Escalade key FOBs are very much that way using the driver specific setup details...even to the point that the seat/mirror/steering wheel positions, how all the dash screens are set up to display different things, radio presets, etc all switch between the FOBs, but had not seen anything with Bronco to suggest that is the case. I'll have to dig into this more to find it as I have really missed that with the Bronco.

I’m not 100% sure on the bronco. Haven’t owned a ford in years. I did reset the battery after the third day with it. Fixed my trans shift issues.

How can this be happening? (Sarcasm alert)

@ Ford Motor Company stated that:

"We’re working hard to assemble your vehicle, but it’s going to take more time than expected to finish it.

We want to make sure it’s assembled right, so we will be performing quality checks, inspections and tests before it’s delivered to you."

14 weeks "In Production"...

These are some of my concerns. I don't think there has been any definitive fixes to date. Only spotty remedies. To me they look to be engineering issues that are hard to correct after the fact.

Condensation in rear storage area.
Windows catching on weather stripping when opening doors.
Windows rattling when partially down.
Tailgate rattling.

Thoughts?

I have never heard about this before. Do you think a vehicle would benefit from this after a tire size change?

I already adjusted the tire circumference via Forscan but some things feel a bit weird. I do have 3.73 gears and got 285/75r17 (33.8") so I'm not surprised it feels different, but one thing that feels weird is coasting in Sport mode vs Normal down a hill seems to have a lot more drag. Maybe the truck relearning would fine tune it some?

Probably.

Condensation in rear storage area. - Insulate the tub
Windows catching on weather stripping when opening doors. - slow down your opening procedure
Windows rattling when partially down. - make sure the windows are adjusted correctly and/or adjust the window height slightly.
Tailgate rattling. - Can't help you.

Thoughts?

I don't really have your concerns...
I have experienced the condensation occasionally, but seems to be weather related, never been a problem.
My windows don't really catch, but they can if I'm thoughtless. You have really been upset when we didn't have the modern partial roll down feature. lol
The window rattle is more of a frameless window characteristic, they have always been that way.
My tailgate doesn't rattle.
I don't consider any of these as quality issues, there are always compromises when making this type of vehicle with the features it has.
