Never had a #2 issue, lol....can't see how you can bump it.

#1 for sure, I'd rather leave it on but tired of the nanny.
You left out HONK HONK when you least expect it.
Driver's seat...at first seemed best ever, but a year later, have to use a cushion to keep my right leg from cramping.
FORScan helping me with honky honk this weekend. 😉

No real issue with 1 or 2. My rear vents have never worked but plan to get them fixed soon before 36k mile warranty is up. Even in hot Texas summer, max AC pointed toward the back seems to be ok. With a car seat though kids will get hot potentially.
My main gripe is squeaking items. Visor and back top during road bumps. Will get them fixed before warranty is up, but it’s not an easy drop off with dealers here.
Yep, unfortunately 104 here yesterday and just concerned - going to have to do some airflow tests to make sure they’re not in major discomfort back there. Contemplating different vehicle for doggie road trips in the near future. I’d also like to say this isn’t just Ford… my Tundra has the same bad air ducting design for the backseat and have had to mod it to work. Where the heck is that Dyson guy when you need him?

My top annoyance is people responding to 1 saying, "keep your hands on the steering wheel". In actuality, they're always on the steering wheel! My car just has good alignment and I don't need to drive side to side within a lane. I can actually just chill without moving the steering wheel on a straight freeway. It would be nice if my music wasn't affected because I'm driving straight and safely within a lane.

#1 has nothing to do with ACC...when the lane-keeping is on, it's ready to nanny you for driving too straight.
I turned off lane keeping first day with it. It’s annoying. If I wanna ride the line, I wanna ride the line lol.

Is this a 2024 remake of Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line?"

I’ve read through the forums on these and they seem to keep getting buried, but has anyone solved:

1. Permanently shutting off the “Hands on Steering Wheel” driving distraction? 😑

2. A solution for the “knee hitting the headlight switch” issue? Probably an “is what it is”, but thought I’d check. 😉

3. Better ventilation in the cargo area for my fur babies. I have the underseat vent mods and a seat-mounted USB fan from Amazon, but there is literally zero airflow back there! 🐕
I've had my Bronco for 3 years and have never once seen the hands on the steering wheel warning. Also, I hit my damn knee on the headlight knob almost everytime. I'm a smaller female and have to sit close to the dash to be able to put enough weight on the clutch to engage it. I hate that button. My doodle refuses to ride anywhere but the passenger seat, sitting like a human. So no help there either.

1. Never had this come up.
2. I do hit my knee on that switch at times, so I just climb in from the passenger side.
3. 2-door, deleted one rear seat and always have the other folded down. Had one rear seat passenger in the 2 years I've owned it. Windows down works fine.

I have never experienced the “ hands on wheel” issue. Kneeing the light switch, yes, however, that is what the little beeping alarm is for to remind us oafs we kneed the switch. Two door eliminates me for number three. Not to mention the top is off all summer anyways.

1. MyColor. I don't want to go to the aftermarket to ambient lighting solutions that should have been standard
2. Bigger fuel tank. Why am I stuck w/16 gallons when I could have had more. Again, why go aftermarket
3. Vinyl seats. I really hate them in the summer, I gotta run cabbie beads to actually go topless without sweating my ass off

Thanks for sharing these! And I agree with all of them, I just get irritated *most* when Ford boxes me into doing things one way, their way and it’s the only way. So, those three are at the top of my list. It will be something else in another week, I’m just a grumpy old - hang on a sec - “You kids stay off my lawn!” - man.

Sounding like:

1. IYKYK… deal with it. (Thanks for that acronym @Moto26 )
2. I need shorter legs or train myself to exit my vehicle the one and only way Ford requires me to exit it.
3. Two door Broncos may have better ventilation than 4-doors?

My top 3.

1). Honks at me when I leave it running and get out and close the door. Especially annoying at a gas station. (yes I leave it running, bite me Karen lol)

2). Honks at me when I leave it running and don’t fully close the door (so it won’t honk) and go to the other side and open and close that door. HONK HONK

3). See 1 and 2 above.
