Any 2023 Bronco owners have the Window Rattle issue?

[AlexasBlancaBronkeeto]

Just checking to see if any 2023 Bronco owners are experiencing the window rattle issue that affects some 2021 and 2022 Broncos (SSM 50711). This is the issue where the window rattles while driving over bumps with the window in the partially down position. I have tried adjusting it a number of times and the best I can do is make it a little better. It still rattles quite a bit over even very minor roadway imperfections.

I guess I am kind of hoping that Ford has worked out the issue for 2023 and I can have my dealer do some research and see what has changed so they can fix my rattling window.

I have a 2023 bronco sport (base), i have window or trim rattling in the front driver window area ASWELL as the the 2 rear side windows near the hatch , im literally going crazy, cuz it just started happening today… I’ll shat my pants if these windows blow on me. I’ve heard of some 2021-2023 broncos having window blowout issues. HELLPPP.

Since the Bronco sport is much different than a full size Bronco, you may have better luck with help on this site.

'23 Outer Banks 4D here. Yes, I have the window rattle issue. I've complained about it to the dealer and was told there was no fix for it. Seems to primarily affect the driver window, but have observed minor rattle/play in other windows.

My 23 wildtrack has the problem. Its a 2 door and if I have the driver window cracked at all it rattles over every bump.

I have resorted to the fact that my 60k plus vehicles that I love that are also extremely capable off-road have issues of one thing or another and learn to live with it.

So, it's 2024 and still no fix for this? My 4-month-old 23 Badlands is doing this, drives me crazy!

So much for the TSB coming out in late 2023

BIt late to the thread, but yes, my 2023 4DR BD does this.

Repair has been pushed to Q3 of this year now.

Frameless windows have created all these window issues just so it would be easier to remove and store the doors. Not a good trade off in my opinion.

While I do appreciate all of the above responses, I am specifically looking for input from 2023 owners. I do not see any replies from the owners of 2023 Broncos.

So what say you B6G??? Any 2023 Bronco owners have the window rattle? Or has Ford quietly fixed this issue and I need to do some research on what the fix was?

My ‘23 BL 2DR has it as well. Doesn’t take much to make it start up.

Between rattles and playing whack-a-mole with air leaks I fully agree.

I have much older vehicles that have none of these issues and I think it is largely because the windows are framed.

23 Wildtrak. Had it in to the dealer for service and asked them to look at it.
they never even looked at it or put it on the service order!

That's probably because nothing they do is going to help the issue until Ford released a fix for it.

Hello Ya’ll, yep, have a ‘22 4D Badlands where both front windows rattle so bad that i fear they would possibly shatter. I get the wind whistles on the highway or high winds (North Texas) from the rear windows. This morning I got stuck, couldn’t get out of the driver side because the window wouldn’t roll down enough had to climb out the passenger side.

I’ve been to the @GrapevineFordManager dealer several times starting back in early 2023 to be told it’s a known issue and the fix is coming in Q4 of 2023. Fast forward to early 2024, I take it in, 2 weeks later that ticket has been superseded by another ticket stating the fix is now coming Q3 of 2024.

I contact @Ford Motor Company through this forum, created a case, told once reviewed I would get a call, months later no call no nothing.

I call the dealer this morning because I’ve had enough, they said call Ford Motor company customer relations, after a couple transfers, I’m told to contact NHTSA https://www.nhtsa.gov/ and have them start an investigation and possible recall.

So, it might help if y’all call NHTSA
(888) 327-4236 and file a case to get a recall going.
@Ford Motor Company is not doing anything but delay a fix to a serious issue.

They aren’t going to issue a recall because of a noise.
If you have a problem with the window going up or down, that is a completely unrelated concern to the current SSM about a rattle over bumps.
