Speaker rattle

[Bullitt]

I haven't had a single issue with my Bronco in the first 11 months, but wow, my sub sounds horrible in the past few weeks. Same music, same settings, but all of a sudden, a bad rattle every time music is played. Gonna have to take it in under warranty.

I have a 2022 Bronco Wildtrak (lux package)

Anyone experience speaker rattle from the rear sub and mounted speakers? If so, anyone come up with any remedies? I actually like the sound in this trim level but that rattle is killing me.

Yes! I had originally ordered my Bronco in 2020 with the Wildtrak and Lux package. Vehicle was delivered 2 years later, ( as a 2022 model). Within days of owning and driving the the vehicle, the " Rattle of Dysfunctional Design" began on the Sub of the rear passenger side quarter panel. The dealership ( not the dealership I originally purchased the vehicle from) agreed to look into it, made some adjustments, and it sounded a little better for a few weeks... But the problem soon recurred. My Bronco is now back at the dealership having the same issue addressed again. At first I had thought it was an issue with the Bang & Oluffsen system, but then it appeared to be a speaker location, functionality issue.

Ford should consider a Recall for this issue. Though it doesn't pose a safety threat, at least we wouldn't feel gas lit, and told the problem does not exist....

Exactly.

I hate ford mechanics who don't own the vehicle, don't deal with the issue, and pretend the owners are idiots for complaining about the issue.

It is extremely frustrating. I had the 2022, and now the 2923 Lux package and both suffered the same issue. The sub rattles so bad I sometimes have to turn the bass down as far as I can and it still makes noise. It’s pathetic that this car can be produce for a complete year with this issue unresolved let alone several. It’s just ignorance on the part of ford and quite frankly, disrespectful to their clients. Part of the reason to upgrade was to get a good sound system and they just don’t deliver at the cost of the buyer. I have a 2017 Mazda and the Bose speakers that came with that are fantastic. I shouldn’t have to tear my Bronco apart and supply my own upgrades to get what was supposed to come with the vehicle in the first place. But after reading 100 posts just like this, I know it’s a pointless argument.
