There is a adjustment at the bottom of the door jamb to fix that window rattle. There is a KZbin video out on how to adjust it . The window wobble is because of the window not coming down fast enough to clear the weatherstripping, just slow down a tad when opening the door to allow for that window to clear the weatherstripping and it will not wobble as much. Ford is working on a fix so hopefully that will come soon.

Totally agree with you. Window rattle is unsettling and I worry about long term wear and tear. I actually love the design of the rear bumper, but it's lame that it's plastic. Over heading lighting is terrible. The other two for me are the lack of cup holders in the rear seats unless you opted for leather and no upper air vents in the back. I love my bronco, but I've spent some time trying to improve the passenger experience. The other thing is storage. But I'm less bothered there since I have lots of options to upgrade it.
@taylorkamerer6470 Жыл бұрын
I've had my Bronco for about 6 months also! TOTALLY agreed on the window rattle/stability. I understand why it's constructed that way; Jeep doors are impossibly heavy and hard to get off by yourself, also hard to store because of the bulkiness, so it's nice to have a compact/not so heavy door when playing. For me, my biggest two are: lack of overhead lighting/lighting around the gear shift. The lights above the rearview mirror essentially do nothing, and the car is too pricey not to have lighting around the gearshift in my opinion. Seems small--but even my base level cars before this had those features. Over all, I LOVE my Bronco, and hope to have it for a very long time. Such a cool car, and very easy to get over the dislikes with so many wonderful features (:

Great video, I always hope Ford sees consumers like us. First, I love my 2021 Outer Banks, it is 10x the vehicle my jeep was from handling, daily driver ride stability, interior options, retro looks. Agree, windows are very annoying & cheap. Dropping my hand behind the handle for a moment like a Mustang or slowing down as my dealer recommended didn't help the poor design. It makes the vehicle seem cheap when everyone gets in. I tell everyone it's my Wile E Coyote window system specially added from Ford. What the engineers need to do is walk down the hallway and talk to the Mustang design team. I have owned 5 from 2008 Shelby to my 2015 50th, drop beautifully and cleanly. My 2015 drops as soon as it senses my hand behind the handle, 2008 you have to operate the handle still works perfectly to this day. I would have thought this would have been fixed by 2022. I also hate the stereo in mine, my 2014 JK had a surprisingly kick butt stereo and sub from the factory. However, being a Ford for life girl, the crappy stereo systems are norm in their vehicles except my '02 Lincoln LS. I've reached out to Ford with owner feedback and they seem receptive. More of us should reach out in whatever way we can.

I definitely share some of the same dislikes about the vehicle. I happened to sell my Bronco today, and while looking over it before the pick up, I was reminded of the door alignment issue. WIndow rattle is terrible and it did keep me from cracking open my window, because the first couple of times it happened, I thought the something inside was seriously loose. I've never had the gooey seal issue with the top though. Just like you mentioned, at the end of the day, Bronco is definitely fun to drive and an overall a good experience.

I'd also mention the lack of places to keep things up front. Some cars have little compartments, the Bronco could have made better use of the space. Reaching into the console behind your elbow, or stretching to the other side for the distant glove box isn't exactly ideal while driving. Obviously, not a deal breaker, but it can be a minor inconvenience. I do agree with all your points. It is fun to drive though! Take care man.

I had to smear silicon grease on the rubber seal to stop the sound. Then both the passenger and driver side sun visors simple snapped off while driving and were swinging loose in front of our faces. It’s a known issue with most of the new Jeeps. There’s even a company that makes a metal piece that bolts over the top of the mount because the Jeep won’t fix it. Then the engine rattled at low throttle horribly. I ended up selling it before it was too late.

DO NOT BUY. Mine has an electrical issue the dealer and Ford have not been able to correct, or issue a recall on. The daytime running lights, interior lights, do not shut off when the car has been shut off. Twice I had to disconnect the battery to correct the problem. The other times it meant starting and stopping the engine a few times and re-locking the doors until the computer knew to shut the lights off.

I have a '21 Badlands with the MIC hardtop. I've never seen anything like that gooey black stuff. Bestop offers a 2-row soft top that mates to the hard top clamshell. I got that, and now no longer need to leave the middle panel somewhere if I want to go topless. Recommended.

Love my bronco but I have some small issues as well. I’ve only had it for the winter so far so I haven’t been cracking my windows just yet. A few things that have been bothering me… the rain streaming down into the car from the roof feels like a waterfall. The seat warmers get so hot so fast you can only leave it on for about 30 seconds before it’s uncomfortable. And the step getting in and out is placed in an odd position and makes it a bit awkward.

I only buy American cars and I have 2023 Bronco Badlands and i must agree w/ you 100% that the sound system quality is not what I am used to w/ Lincoln SUVs and even Ford Flex SEL.

Try dynamat Or similar product on the exterior door skin inside the door underneath the door panels everywhere you have a speaker you will be amazed by what dynamat does for a stock sound system and when you upgrade to a better speaker they will sound even better yet i saw a test display set up with some oem speakers with sound insulation And with out it sounds better than most of the basic upgraded speakers without it. Will reduce road noise too you can get a roll of Killmat for $70 (Just as good as dynamat)

My seat belts don’t retract, also I keep hitting the door lock when I get out, it’s in a stupid place. And locks doors. Drives really nice. Also what I don’t like is the gas gauge, if the west sun is coming in your window, you can’t read the gauge, looks like your empty..only have 3,000 miles on mine, just took 3 people to airport, was shocked 3 check in size bgs, fit in the back perfect. Was proud of my little bronco.. also, was blown away when I had my brights on, and they dimmed by themselves when a car was coming.

I bought the Ford Bronco Sport First Edition and love it. I really love the size of the large Bronco especially for our 2 German shepherds but after watching this....I think I'll keep the sport. It's awesome, cheaper, really great and a little better on gas. There are some minor issues with the sport too, that I hate, that everyone owning one has noticed. I hate the frameless windows and I won't be taking the doors off so I guess I'll stick with the sport.

Window rattling can be fixed. Interior lighting does suck. I don’t sit in the back seats so don’t care about cup holders. My main gripe is that you have to put it in low to turn off stability control. I didn’t buy my bronco to drive around and look cool. I bought it to use it off road and it does a very very good job at that right out of the box.

Love your Bronco, I have a Big Bend 4 door that I got back in July and I'm very happy with it, however my biggest complaint would have to be where they decided to put the window switches at-I'm constantly reaching toward the inside of my door to roll the window down and then realize that the switches are on the center console-I understand they did it so that the doors could be taken off but I'm going on six months now and still haven't trained myself on where it's at

The only thing I'm really unhappy with is the parking brake. Where it's positioned it should mimic a foot brake where you pull off push on, but it's the opposite. It's something that messes me up for a second whenever I go from my f150 to the bronco.

I guess I’m not a music guy as my base sound system works for me , will have to listen to a good set up to see what I’m missing . I’m a bit old for the roof tents but they do look great .

I fit doors at a an American automobile manufacturer. Not sure what's going on with the windows in your bronco (I don't work at the bronco plant), but I looks like your door latch is coming off the striker really hard. It shouldnt "clunk" off like that. Id say that door needs refitted. About your front door sticking out slightly proud of the rear door. That's most likely for water dispersement. We purposely do that on our vehicles. That said, I don't make broncos, so I may be wrong.

I'm contemplating on getting the Ford Bronco series myself and I've been trying to do a little bit of research on it. It looks like it's a very cool vehicle you could take it off road and while I live in Wisconsin which is more of us very snowy State I like that it'll run through snow in case of high Winters. I'm worried about is the crash safety tests. I'm not 100% certain but I guess these Brands aren't as safe as others when it comes to safety and car crashes. Again love the vehicle and still thinking about getting it but what is your take on the safety crash test?
