Can you send over a message with your VIN and the name/location of your local Ford dealer? I would like to take a closer look at your transmission concerns.
Funny you posted this…I have a 2021, meticulous in servicing it, and i have had the actuator go bad, thre transmission looked at once already (forgot what the issue was), among other things. What’s was bad, was this past wed, i got a warning in the afternoon after pulling into a parking spot and putting car in park,….sounds and warnings that i needed to use emergency brake bc Park didn’t work, then 4WD warnings, and weird things.. It sat for 10 ins and stared and drove it home. Nothing happened and ran great. Next night Im driving in and it missing gears, grinding sound, so pulled off highway….long story short, I need a new transmission according to my dealer….3 years old. I have a gentle 111,000 on the car, and like i said has been taken care of incredibly, never ever being off road or run hard. This is ridiculous and EXPENSIVE now, and I have already put in probably. 7,000 dollars of repairs and probs fixed costs through my dealer. Ugh…i wish i didnt owe Jon loan still…id be out of this and into something else.

Hey all! Has anyone heard of major transmission issues with the 2021 Bronco? I have about 70k miles and I am not able to get out of first gear!
My 2021 Bronco Sport is in the shop now. 81k miles. Bought August of 2021. 8 days ago it started acting weird. Out of warranty cuz I put lots of miles on it yearly. It started shaking while at a stop light. No warning light. But running down the highway, no problems. Then when I went to back into a parking spot the bells and whistles started going off. They just notified us that Ford told them to replace the valve body.

Hi there, Sloane. This transmission concern doesn’t sound like something we want you to experience with your Bronco. Should you need further assistance, feel free to send us a PM with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer and I'd be happy to look into how I can assist you on my end.

That's Lamborghini your thinking of ?
Wasn't there an old TV commercial that said, "Parts is Parts"?
An Internet search says that this is from an old 80's Wendy's commercial.

Report to NHTSA I have the same issue. If everyone reports issue they should issue a recall. Ford will reimburse you if a recall is issued.

yes!! 107000 miles and a new transmission. Ford Service was the worst! Expecting a recall. The transmission was chewed up! Cheap metal and shavings everywhere. We have pictures to prove it.

Just had mine drained and filled now it barely shifts gears and stalls out in 2nd or 3rd makes it feel like it wants to stall. Then can’t get into high gear and just revs at 4000 RPM on the freeway. So hen sometimes I have no reverse. Have to turn the car off and maybe it will go into reverse or maybe not. It’s been a nightmare!
