I noticed these stains recently on a Monday in my Bronco Limited Edition 2021 Sport a few weeks ago on the rubber floorboard. Looks like three circular stains that leaked from above? Area was not wet and the other photo shows what is directly above this area. Anyone know what this could be??? --Thanks.

Hmmmmm...is this the best ya'll can do? If I was pressing it my with my junk I would have collapsed the floorboard.
Any serious replies out there or is this a "junk" Forum?

Not sure about the little black dot on the gray boot of the brake actuator. I don't know what would be black from there, maybe some kind of grease applied at the factory? If you reach up and touch that black spot, does it come off? And if it does, can you determine what it is by smell?

You must admit, the post looks a little suspicious. But here goes ….

No, we have not seen anyone reporting something similar. And it’s confusing, did you have a floor mat? If so, did it stain through that too? If the mat is not stained, is this something from below or maybe has always been there?

Have you checked the bottom of your shoes?

"Take it to the dealership and they can look at it". What other serious reply are you looking for? We're owners, not service techs. If you can't see or feel anything dripping from above, then I sure won't by touching my screen.

What kind of serious replies am I looking for? Wow, well this is a Forum on this particular vehicle---maybe I was hoping for something like, "No I haven't seen this before---or Yes, I have seen this and it turned out to be XYZ."

What I wasn't looking for was dick jokes. So I'm the FIRST person in here to ask a question about something strange going on with their Bronco??? I don't think so...

Maybe that's what YOU are looking for---dick jokes?

>this is now an official "Richard Joke" thread<

It's easy to see how you get Joe from Joseph, and Tim from Timothy, but how do you get Dick from Richard?

Simple, ask him nicely.

It is a serious post...I have had the Bronco First Edition for just over a year. I took it to the Outer Banks to get it in some sand and took all the floor mats out and never put them back in. A few weeks ago I noticed this staining after it sat in my garage over the weekend. There was very heavy rain the Friday before---that is the only "odd" thing I can remember happening prior to the following Monday when I noticed these three stains (like three circles that merged)....

Happened once in my mom's Hyundai Sonata. It was condensation leaking from the A/C vent just beneath her glove box on the passenger side.
Does yours still feel wet, or slippery like grease? Might be worth taking it in for service just to play it safe. Even if it is just water from the HVAC, it can be fixed so you don't have to deal with it.
