Can I really be the only one?

[altoblue]

I have 33,000 plus miles on my 2021 Big bend and I have had zero issues outside of a couple recall notices. And frankly recall notices aren't special to this car, it happens to all of them. My windshield hasn't cracked 6 times, i don't tail gate either. The brake moan isn't actually a real problem for the 12 feet per week that i actually back up. I accepted the fact that the car no longer came with an engine cover and bought my own. My water pump is fine, I also don't drive in sport mode full time so no added stress or extra RMPs for nothing. Oh, and I average 30 mpg consistently with bigger tires and a lift kit. What am I doing wrong?

Same here Pal. Doesn’t it just drive you crazy with a bunch of whining cry babies with all these problems that you and I don’t have. They go out and beat the shit out of these cars tailgating 18 wheelers and wonder why did my windshield crack. They put it in sport mode and wind the motor out to 6500 rpm from stop light to stop light. Half of these guys are frickin idiots.

Same here!

Lol looks like mine. Does the bug deflector make any wind noise at 75 mph. Also does it shake the hood. I have heard different opinions about them. Thnx Mike

I have had it on for 2 years this month and I can honestly say not an issue on the bug deflector and not a thing wrong with my bronco . Super ride .

Not whining about nothing! You really need to complain more about not having any problems. This just does not sound fair! PS: Me either!

My hood does shake when going through the dryer at the car wash. I solved that problem by not taking it through the car wash!

Have two yr old BSBL with nothing to complain about, it’s been serviced and nothing more.
1. Brakes sometime squall a little when backing up in morning — I ignore it and it stops.
2. Hood doesn’t vibrate (except in car wash) since I adjusted stops.
3. Two little paint chips??? From factory on passenger doors. I waxed ‘em and forgot about it — may fill ‘em in some day..
4. Seats are comfortable with no creases, dents, etc, just condition leather once in a while.

Basically, what I’m saying is that I bought a Bronco Sport — not a Rover, Lamborghini, Porsche or Mercedes. I didn’t expect perfection which I think is the problem with many of the complaints.
I’m not dismissing some of the issues; these are mass produced vehicles — there are bad ones just as there are with any make/model. I’ve seen a lot of the expensive ones and the “flawless” Japanese imports riding on the back of the flatbeds.
It seems that many of us have lost sight of what to expect when we decide to purchase a moderately priced (comparatively) SUV, namely a Ford Bronco.
Just my 2¢ for what it’s worth.

Zero issues in 1.5 years except for the brake noise. But it is unacceptably loud. I don't think people are being nitpicky on that issue. It sucks very badly and needs to be fixed.
Perfect example

AVS Aeroskin does the job. No wind noise and it doesn't shake the hood. I've had it on for a year. Also looks kinda cool.

I don’t go and beat the shit out of my car, don’t tailgate, never used sport mode yet I have had a lot of problems with mine. Now what?

Happy to hear good reports on these Bronco Sports. The wife and I enjoy ours, albeit we've only had it almost a month now. I too don't plan on any off road driving, but nice to know it can tread over some water should we have a hurricane in north Florida, and have to find a high spot in Florida (yea, right). Been here 40+ years, and still living through them.

I too bought an engine cover, and plan to buy the hood deflector. I gotta say, that hood deflector is a nice looking fit, compared to the others I've bought for F150's and such.

Keep the good reports coming.

To call people you don't know frickin idiots is pretty extreme. Acusing them of things you really have no clue if they did or didn't do! I don't know anybody who would treat their brand new car in the manner that you accuse them of . I took one road trip 1500 miles long mostly 2 lane highway with speed limit up to 70 mph in some places. My windshield and paint is hammered mostly by traffic coming from the opposite direction. I have barely 3000 miles. The cheapness of these donkey sports is discaceful.
