Hi there, I'd be happy to look into your Bronco concerns on my end. Will you send us a message with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into things on my end.

I had that happen a few time and it just happened about five minutes ago. The indicator shows it is in D but the trans is not shifting and you can hear the engine revving! I backed off the accelerator and it started shifting normally. Another weird thing happened tonight as well. Pulling away from a stop sign it bogged down and I thought it was going to steal but then it began operating normally.

When it did this on mine, I realized that I was drumming the button on the side of the shifter to the awesome sounds coming from my B&O. Sometimes it gets inadvertently pressed while I'm resting my hand on the shifter as well. It does switch back quickly.

Did the indicator on the dash show that it was in Manual? The few times mine did this the indicator still showed it was in Drive.

Yeah - it shows a 'random number' (the gear) on the dash.

With 10 gears, the unusual number threw me off as I'm used to a 5-speed manual.

My wife has complained about accidentally hitting the button too. It will go into a temporary M mode if you hit the +/- and then return after a few seconds. I don't know why they bothered, it shifts so slow it's not even worth it.
