Fantastic build. I love the clean mounting of the four lights on top of the bumper. How do you mount all four of those? I get how the outer two lights mount using the existing holes on the bumper, but what about the inner two? Do you have to drill into the bumper to mount the inner two? Or is...

Wow, that sucks! I did ask the service manager about that happening. At least he said they would simply redo it. This is my first Ford… I guess so. It’s hard to understand. This is my first and possibly last Ford. It’s a super cool fun car though.

Sooooo… my bronco now has about 2000 miles on it. I noticed the noise immediately when the vehicle had less than 50 miles on it. And I took it back to the dealership right away. That was about two and a half months ago. Flash forward to today, I just got it back from the service dept. They...

Hmmm… paperwork says they installed MB3Z 7003 A

Sooooo… my bronco now has about 2000 miles on it. As I said earlier in this thread, I noticed the noise immediately when the vehicle had less than 50 miles on it. And I took it back to the dealership right away. That was about two and a half months ago. Flash forward to today, I just got it back...

Fantastic! We were there a week ago. Drove through a nasty but very cool sandstorm. That was a first for us. Camped two nights at the Eureka dunes and considered going up Dedeckera Canyon but decided against it since we were alone. Those spots are extremely tight indeed! Settled on the...

Wow, so if Ford is effectively discontinuing the manual transmission (hope not, but it certainly sounds like it) where does that leave those of us with transmissions that sound like a “rock grinder”? In my case, my service center me told Ford would replace the entire transmission due to the...

I definitely understand your question and concern… mine is brand new, less than 500 miles and makes the noise. I really don’t like the weird noise. It does not inspire confidence. However, the car is awesome and I love the manual. I took mine into service immediately after hearing the noise...

So I just got my Bronco back from the service department. They told me that Ford is going to replace the entire transmission to deal with the noise issue. And that I should just drive the car until the new transmission arrives at the dealership. They estimated it taking between one and two...

Well, I get you're point. Still, I think I'd rather hand it back to service for now just to create a paper trail right from the start and make Ford aware of the issue. I imagine that if every single manual transmission Bronco was sitting at a service center waiting for a reply from Ford, Ford...

At the very least I want to know what’s causing the noise. It’s weird and unacceptable for a brand new vehicle. I don’t care if it’s a Bronco, Lamborghini, or a Toyota Corolla. No way the transmission from a new expensive car should make noises like that.

Got my Bronco less than a week ago. Tranny noise was there from the start. So I sent the service department an email describing the problem along with links from the net (including this thread) that also describes the problem. Dropped it off with 208 miles on it just now. They put me in a piece...

Dang, I don’t know how a new car in 2023 could be produced with these kind of issues. I’m not mechanically inclined. I just want a car that works! And, right now, my car does work. It just has that strange disconcerting scrapping sound!

Yup, just got my 2Dr Manual Badlands last Friday. Less than 200 miles on it and it definitely makes that weird scrapping type noise. Mostly I hear it in first and second gear. That sound definitely does not inspire confidence. Brand new! And I just spent a small fortune after a two year wait...

Just got my Two Door Badlands Manual last Friday. Bummed to say that mine is also making that weird scrapping-type sound. Mostly in first and second gear. I just added my issue to the spreadsheet. I guess I was hoping to get "lucky" and not have this problem. I just sent an email describing all...

I absolutely took the time to read your entire post. Thank you for your thoughtful replies and for making all of this as clear as possible. I have never experienced anything like this. And hopefully never will again! Amazing that Ford can’t explain for themselves, let alone their customers, what...

I see your point… However, I thought the info I received from Ford marketing might be important for those considering going forward with the current list of issues that this thread is about. I would certainly want to be aware that PP and whatever certificates or incentives from Ford may or may...

Super helpful! I will be sure to do that. Thank you. It’s still a super fishy deal though if you ask me.

Yeah, thanks for that. I appreciate your suggestion. That’s basically what I did today in an email.

Exactly! I’m just relaying what I was told by Ford Marketing on the phone. Maybe I got someone who just didn’t know what t she was talking about. Hope so, because it makes no sense!
