Vibration issues on 2022 Bronco Sport Outer Banks

[belmont22]

I've had my BS since Dec 2024. Didn't have any issues until end of March beginning of April. I started to notice a vibration/shudder in the rear. It is intermittent, but happens every time I drive the car. I've taken it to Ford multiple times for this issue.

Symptoms:
Harsh shifting at times
Lag in acceleration
Vibration/Shuddering from the rear (almost like light rumble strips) this can happen for a few seconds. Almost like the car is trying to gain traction.

From their recommendation I have had:
RDU replaced
Rear Axle replaced
They then said it was the tires, so we got new tires
As I continued to have this issue, they replaced the Torque Converter - i was then told it was take about 1,200km to adjust to my driving.

I was then told, this is just how the Bronco Sports Drive

Anyway the vibration is still there and not really sure what to do at this point. I think I'm going to see another dealership for a second opinion. From what I've recorded it happens between the 1000 and 2000 RPM mark, between 20km - 80km. Road conditions or temperature don't seem to be a factor.

Anyone have any experience with something like this?

Are you using eco mode?

Are you using eco mode?

No. Either Normal, Eco or Sport. It does it with each. There are no recalls on it either.

Maybe it’s something like a loose engine mount it seems to me I’ve heard of such a thing before a mysterious vibration at certain RPM but anyway just talking

I have a 23 Badlands, and i too get a steering vibration frequently when moving from one lane to another. Not all that bothersome , but strange. I rented an Explorer not to long ago and it had the same issue.

 

[Garth]

Are you crossing over painted lines on the road?

 

[pbnj]

most likely when changing lanes

 

[Garth]

Yeah I get that from my lane keeping assist

 

[Garth]

You can turn it on and off in the preferences

Yeah, when lane keeping is on you’ll get a vibration in steering wheel when changing lanes unless your turn signal is activated prior to maneuver. Switch on end of l/stalk toggles the function

Lane Keeping is on. If you use your turn signal to change lanes, like most people, you will not encounter the vibration. It is a warning to stay in your lane.

It is a warning to stay in your lane.

Too bad we don’t have that feature for a lot of people in the public eye lately.

 

[pbnj]

I’m not convinced that’s the cause. Unlike most, I do use my turn signals, even for lane changes. However, I will test this theory the next few days.

Thanks for the heads up. Tested it last night and you were correct!! Have not turned it off yet, but still amazed the lines in the road can cause the shutter.

Not just the painted lines but burnouts from the local hot rodders and any other asorted marks have set mine off.
