Hi there! I can look into the transmission concern you're experiencing with your Bronco. Will you send us a message with your VIN and the name and location of your local Ford dealer?Has anyone taken it in for this sound and actually had a resolution?
I've taken mine in. I described the sound as a shovel dragging on concrete. That was the best description I could think of. For me, it mostly happens downshifting to 3rd gear.
My car was at the dealer for about 2 weeks and they returned it and said, "that's how the transmission sounds". At least they didn't charge me for their time.
This sounds like no transmission I've ever heard before, so If someone actually has a diagnosis, I'd love to hear it.
Hi there. I gave my info yesterday to another Ford person and they said because it’s in Canada to contact them, so I did but they said just to go to the dealer so not sure why giving the vehicle info on here helps ?Hi there!

Same noise and same symptoms. I have an appointment on Friday at the dealer. I'll let you know what happens.
No. They said they didn't hear any grinding noise. I didn't have time to argue since the dealer was closing and I really needed the vehicle over the weekend. I guess everyone's advice to request a ride along with a tech was absolutely necessary. I'm not done yet though. I have another appointment on Thursday to get a hitch installed and I have a video that I took where you can clearly hear the grinding noise that I plan on showing them.any results at the dealer?

I’ll check my date of Manufacture. It’s a 2022 model, but date built I’ll take a look Is yours a 2021?No. They said they didn't hear any grinding noise.

What date was your bs manufactured? Mine was in December.
For me it’s that rattle you can hear during the up shifts and downshifts in that driver front area If they don’t know, then I’m gonna get that alternate part number from Ford for the shifter cable that isn’t supposed to rattle and grindFWIW, at 17,000 miles mine doesn't do it as much anymore. Had it at the dealer and I couldn't reproduce it on a ride along, they never heard it either. I tried disconnecting the manual park release cable (very easy to do with no tools) and it made no difference. They did hear the hissing noise mentioned in the same TSB and concluded it was normal since other new BL models on the lot sounded the same.
Let me know how that turns out if you do.For me it’s that rattle you can hear during the up shifts and downshifts in that driver front area If they don’t know, then I’m gonna get that alternate part number from Ford for the shifter cable that isn’t supposed to rattle and grind

Mine was Jan 17/2022. Any progress on the noise lately?No. They said they didn't hear any grinding noise.

Did you start a case with Ford? It's the best thing I could have done. The dealer and crew kept my Bronco Sport for several days and finally heard the rattle/grind (and no, it was NOT normal engine sound). They determined it was a defective transmission so they ordered a new one and it's getting replaced this week. I'm hoping that's the problem. We'll see.Hi there.

I may do that. I thought about trying one more time at a different ford dealer in the city I’m in before starting a case.Did you start a case with Ford? It's the best thing I could have done.
