I have read COUNTLESS issues with the Bronco and have experienced most of them. Are the issues with the lower trim levels?
Can you please tell us, specifically, the issues you’re experiencing? Because, to be honest, you sound like you’re trolling.

Does anyone have regrets buying their Bronco? I def do. Love the cool factor but thats about it. Build quality is of the charts terrible.
Happiness is expectations minus reality.

Go in with Ranger expectations and you'll be happy. Some things about the Bronco thrill me, some are a total let down. For me the good far outweighs the bad. This vehicle was always a Ford for better or worse.

No regrets at all here. There are a few things that are annoying. Like the stupid RPM display (vertical bar) on the dash. Wind/road noise for me is not too bad. Of course it's a lot noisier than my wife's Audi but that is expected. Only regret is maybe I should have gone for the Bronco Raptor (Love the Raptor suspension!)

I love mine. Road noise isnt even as bad as some people make it out to be. Coming from sports cars with minimal sound deadening materials it is very tame. When its super cold the top creaks a little more than normal but def not a big deal to me.

No quality issues here. Couldn't be happier.

I think some people just lucked into a Friday build.
Mine is a Friday 13 th build and I’m happy with it!

Absolutely. They put a new motor in at 7k miles and now it's going back in the shop at 20k miles for a laundry list of bullshit including transfer case issues, not shifting out of 4A when changing modes, soft top coming apart, and numerous trim pieces rattling apart.

My bad for buying a first year vehicle. It won't happen again and I won't buy a Ford again.

The noise from the back meaning the tailgate noise, this is a known issue, the removable top noise meaning the front portion, this is a known issue, The manual trans noise which many have had the transmissions replaced which is a known issue, On top of that the CEO of Ford has come out and said quality terrible.
I have no tailgate noise and my hard top is acceptable for noise given it's a removable top. Sorry you ended up with those.

Only regret was not being patient for the hardtop (aftermarket is currently way higher then I expected but that’s on me) and if I had to do it again I’d get the 2.7 vs 2.3

I haven't had any issues with mine so far but I knew what I was getting into. I think too many people jumped on the hype train without assessing whether or not the bronco was the right vehicle for them. It's not a great work truck especially if need it for hauling things. It's not the best commuter vehicle, considering you can get much quieter vehicles with better interiors and get better MPGs. This is a toy and damn it's fun to drive!

Only had mine a few days. I got the ‘radio shut down’ message already. But hopefully that was a once and done. Road noise and wind noise are fine by me since I’ve been driving jeeps most of my adult life.
