My only issue is that I could not wait for a build and did not get the BB package. It’s brutal cold here in Northern Minnesota and the heated seats are missed. But now it is warming up a bit and I’m good. Not having any issues but I still have under 300 miles on it.
Hi Minnesota neighbor. Curious if you put heated seats in aftermarket and if they work well enough for you. I've checked around and there are a few custom shops here around the twin cities with prices that swing from 500 to 1500.
Any advice would be great. Thanks

1 -The turn signal noise is a bit loud
2 - The automatic engine kill when you stop is annoying. It should be off by default.
3 - The steering wheel heater button should be on the driver's side.
4 - There is no blue tooth for things such as Pandora or Wave. My phone must be connected by cable. USB bluetooth adapters don't work. I've tried a few specifically for vehicles and had no luck.
5 - The seat bottoms could use an extra 2 inches in length as there isnt much support for the legs.
6 - The plastic C-pillar scratches way too easily.

The USB adapter I use for Carplay works great.

This one certainly had me scratching my head from an UI/UX perspective. Not for lack of a space in the interface either. :)
That entire panel is just a part imported from Europe where it was used on some other model. So that's why it's on the wrong side. Or it's on the right side, and we're on the wrong one.

I've had my BL/BL for a couple of weeks now and just spent a week in the NC Outer Banks. Put on about 1300 miles and my only complaint is the damn squeaky sunroof. I had tried some silicone lubricant but to no avail. I guess it's back to the Ford dealer. I'd agree with most of the other observations about USB ports and such but I'm really liking the BL.

… except much of Europe drives on the same side of the road the US does. :)

It could be a UK part, but then the master/driver's side power and temperature controls are on the "wrong" side instead. Imagine the kinds of fights that might start!

I still vote for UI/UX gaffe that wasn't caught until too late into the design/production process.

1600 miles so far on our BL/BL with all the bells and whistles. Only complaint I can think of so far is that the glossy plastic scratches way too easily.

Would have been really cool to have driver setting buttons that automatically adjust the seat and mirrors for the primary drivers.

Theres no "Oh S**t" handle for the driver lol curious why they left that out.

Other than that minor detail I have been loving my OB. Got 1200 miles on it so far and it has been amazing, espcially handling well in the midwest snowfalls of late
In an oh shit moment you really should have both hands on the wheel ya think ?

Mentioned this a while back: "Was doing safety inspection a while back and tech had pointed out that passenger side fog light was out."

Who's having mechanical Issues? | Page 2 | 2021+ Ford Bronco Sport Forum - Broncosportforum.com

Inspection was in the middle of the day. Decided to check it today towards the end of the day just for giggles. Both fog lights were on. Weird. Don't know what to think of it. 2K on the car.
I believe the issue is if you have the fog lamps turned on and either turn the wheel slightly or turn on the turn signal one fog light will go out (cornering assist). ie. if you turn the wheel left the left light stays on.....wheels straight..both on. I discovered this last week myself, thought a lamp was burned out. Then humbly read the manual. :crackup:

You should, but it really bugged me that they didn't include a handle there or on the A pillar to get in and out with. Or to reach the roof with. Besides the lack of symmetry it brings to the interior.
