Hello all,
If there is already a similar poll, let me know and I can delete this one. For current owners only, I think it would be cool to get a sense (ratio) of broncos in the wild related to quality / issues. Answer one of the three poll questions below. And if you've had an issue, it would be good to add a comment below with some info like:

Bronco model / trim level:
Engine / Trans:
Mileage:
Delivery / ownership date:
Nature of the issue:
Required dealer resolution: Y/N
Relevant options / configuration (top, SAS, #doors, etc.):


The end goal here is to get a general sample the ratio of Broncs that have been problematic vs. trouble-free, since forum topics typically tend to gravitate toward complaints and issues, while A+ experiences tend to get buried.

Bronco model / 4dr A51 Badlands
Engine / Trans: 2.7 V6/10 spd
Mileage: 6620
Delivery / ownership date: 9/18/21
Nature of the issue: Engine Failure
Required dealer resolution: Y/N Y, still pending
Relevant options / configuration (top, SAS, #doors, etc.): SAS. Softop, Lux, tow

I will say prior to the massive engine failure, fit and finish, driving characterstics, etc were amazing and fully met expectations. No rattles/squeeks/leaks, etc. I've been watching the "check this on your Bronco" threads and have found nothing to correct so far. I've logged a couple dozen off road hours in all GOAT modes with no problems or warnings. Until, you know...the mother of all failures.

Same. My only issue.

Iā€™ve had a few errors pop up on the screen that never came back again. Parking break failure, Hill stop assist failure.

*I was doing brodies on a small frozen pond and it really pissed off the various sensors. Dash lit up like a crashing space shuttle. Malfunction this and service that... But it all went away.

Noticed a few drips of water coming out of the air bag cover above the passanger seat. Suspect we will need the TSB done for the front seal. Going to make appointment today.

BL Non-SQ 2.7 Delivered 7.5.21. 9.2K miles, decent amount of off-road, mix of highway and city, towed Sea Doos, utility trailers etc.

The 4wd modes glitched in week 1. Shut down, restarted, no problems since. Last week the drivers window was out of sync. Shut down, put away in the garage, next morning, no problem. MIC top, still 1.0. Will complete 2.0 replacement this spring. 1.0 was leaking. Removed top panels, cleaned with silicone based bike cleaner, replaced all panels (with rattle reducing bushings) no problem since.

4 door badlands sasq.
2.7, Lux, ragtop
Delivered 10/22/21
9k miles, 4500 on snow and ice
No issues, rigs been great. I comute 70 miles a day on roads the range from bad to really bad in the winter. This is the best ā€œbad roadā€ vehicle Iā€™ve had in 12 years of making the trip. I had a JK Rubicon with 35ā€™s, it took years off my life on icy roads. The good year Sasquatch tires excel on winter roads, the only thing they do better is throw rocks. Love the all vinyl interior too.
