I love my Bronco but here are my quirks...

Poor lighting in cargo area
Windows rattle if only cracked an inch
The horn is.... LOUD!!!!!!!
I'm obsessed with the MPG gauge (my Badlands Sasquatch gets 16.6 mpg while my Mustang GT only gets 11.8 lol)

Not a fan of the AC deciding it just wants to add fresh air. Sucks to get a cab full of diesel fumes 5min after hitting the recirculate button. New Jersey to Florida I must have pressed that button 75 times šŸ˜³

Slamming the door to get them to latch. Ive been to the dealer once to get it adjusted already. I guess I need to go back. Sometimes I still have to pull 3-4 times before the warning clears the dash.
Yes bring it back! One of the great features of my bronco is the almost self closing doors.

I would say the digital tach is a quirk. Seems like that design came from people who never drove a real car before. Speed doesn't tell you anything useful but when driving on the highway, but the tach tells you so much information about your vehicle. I may be tempted to install an aftermarketet tach myself, take advantage of that rail system on the dash that I've yet to see actually exist.
Is this what you're looking for?

Love this thing
1. Itā€™s dark inside-Iā€™m getting old
2. Itā€™s tall- Iā€™m short
3. The mirrors flop back, then forward, then just right going through car wash-been through 3 times in 1700 miles!
4. Headrest push my neck forward, have a price on a new one to practice bending the pegs (donā€™t want to ruin the originals)
5. will be waiting for the bikini clad ladies šŸ˜†
I love this Truck/car/SUV thing

My crawler gear likes to jump out randomly if I don't hold it in. Also the parking brake gets confused if you let off the clutch in neutral to fast while turning off your car. Had a couple of scary moments so now I always park the car in gear to avoid it rolling if it decides to disengage the parking brake.

Complaint: Steering wheel controls, as others have pointed out. Strange placement of buttons compared to other vehicles I've owned.

Quirk: When washing the windshield, you have to bend the passenger side windshield wiper blade to clear the antenna.
+1 on wiper blade

Maybe you're just all torso. Or sit up close with your chin on the steering wheel like your driving a 500 mile NASCAR race lol
You have to that cali lean down obviously šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

My recirculating air turns off periodically while on the hwy. Then it seems like itā€™s on high/7 instead of 1 or 2 where it was at. I put the recirculate back on and sometimes it goes back to the way it was and sometimes it doesnā€™t. At least not for a couple more minutes.
You may have to hold the recirculation button for a few seconds for it to stay ON, on the FJ, if you only push on it, it will turn on for a couple of minutes then Off, if you push and hold for a few seconds, it stays on.

I would like to say thus far I love my bronco, but here is my list after just completing a 3000 mile road trip.

1) Only two cup holders.

2) Windshield wipers highest speed are still too slow in heavy rain. My Ford truck moves faster.

3) No Sport mode on Badlands(fixed)

4) Seatbelt flap. I just slways leave the rear ones buckled.

5) Must slam down the soft top for the middle section to latch.

6) The soft top windows should attach with zippers instead of the stupid Velcro and plastic buckles.

7) Needs better lighting in the rear of the cab/cargo area.

8) Please give me struts for the hood.

9) Sasquatch tires are awful. I donā€™t think I can pick up that much gravel with a shovel.
