Oh, gosh. Be safe on your journey to FL. Sorry to hear these gremlins are toying with your truck.

We did see this today in Nashville. Bent, beaten, and worn but it's still going. Just like me.

I’m planning to set the lock code in mine tomorrow if you’re interested in details/thoughts.

Yeah I’m interested to hear hike it goes.

I had the vault installed in mine. In Texas, (as you know) I needed a place to lock up my “valuable(s)”.

That’s my thinking, especially having the soft top on mine.

Looks really good, i am impressed with the front ones and the tube step. did you have to cut down your tube to get them to fit in any way?

The install was not simple, I mean it was simple for me, but not so much for 4 Wheel Parts.
The steps are OEM placed too far forward for mud flaps to clear so there is a process to make it work.

Ugh Im sorry That sucks! Hopefully they can fix it up soon.

Mine has about 500 miles on it now. No leaks but now I’m going to double check it.

Josh, I just read your Exxon Valdez post. That sucks for sure.

I am so timid with the Bronco right now listing for noises and smelling for leaks it is crazy. The wife asked why I was so paranoid, but no way will I admit to my level of Bronco Fever and keeping up with the sad stories here.

I am sure as a percentage of vehicles the problems are in line with expectations of failures due to issues, but when it hits close to home it makes it seem so much worse.

2 thoughts for me. I don't care. If mine dies, Florida has a great lemon law. Don't get me wrong, it's a great truck and I don't "want" that to happen but I've already had 2 serious problems in 500 miles and it's definitely not ruining my trip home. Life's short. It's just a hunk of metal.

The problem % might be in line (who knows) but the actual QC is abismal. How does a vehicle leave MAP with an airbag light and how does a vehicle leave MAP and dealer PDI with a completely disconnected GOAT selector and loose fuses (all of them)?

This thing had 40 miles on it. How is it possible that they didn't catch that???

My instinct is that these are going to be fun for 2 or 3 years and then dump it before the real problems kick in.

Oof, that sucks.

Also, I am shocked that your dealer doesn't have the means to lift your bronco. Wtf?

sorry to hear - can you elaborate? how bad?

I really hope not. I bought this thing with full intention of keeping it “forever”. I really hope it’s a good vehicle.

Assuming it's the tranny lift, not the vehicle lift.

 

[Tarheel_Wes]

Can anybody else with a MIC (4 door) check to see if on either side in-between each door it looks like there's an inch to an inch and half gap of "missing" rubber lining/insulation under the edge of the MIC..

Mine is like this on both the driver and passenger side.

Wanna see if this is "normal" before reaching out to the dealer.

here's some pics.

 

[WayneS]

26 degrees? So what?

Love it. No matter how cold, we will go topless when it finally gets here.

 

[Jazer]

My understanding is that it is normal. Saw someone post about it the other day on FB and others were responding that theirs was the same.

Defective airbag and GOAT modes do not work (dial does nothing).

I really hope not. I bought this thing with full intention of keeping it “forever”. I really hope it’s a good vehicle.

To be fair, I don't think many '22 vehicles are "forever cars" too many electronics.
