Hey All, I am trying to see how many others have this issue. My center console makes a rather loud clicking/popping noise when a little bit of pressure is applied to the front end of it. It's rather annoying as it is constantly popping as I drive around and rest my arm on it. I have removed the small change tray that comes with the vehicle and that didn't do anything. It seems the plastic arch inside the console lid is compressing and popping back out.

I have the same issue. Doesn’t bother me too much but it is a little annoying if someone has a fix.

Hi there! Can you send us a PM with your VIN and Ford dealership information? I’d be happy to look into this on my end.

Did you ever get this fixed? Mines doing it. Super annoying.

Nope! And just wait... it gets worse over time. Frustrating as hell too because your arm basically gets thrown around between the bumps in the road and this thing popping. It legit forces me to readjust my driving position as it can cause slight and sudden shifts which then transfer to my steering...

1. Don't bother with the ford customer service account on here. I had them look into a roof issue that was documented upon delivery and they said it wasn't a warrantable item. Total joke but my dealership said they should be able to help me out.

2. I brought this and the roof issue mentioned above to my dealerships attention right away after I took delivery. They documented it and I chose to wait a bit to let QC catch up. I took delivery in October and the parts were all in short supply then. Ironically I scheduled it this morning to go back and get this and a few other items addressed. I'll circle back once I talk to them again in the coming weeks.

I think Ford’s account here on b6g is a bot.
Mine was built 7/1/21 and just started doing it. Going nuts with popping roof and now arm rest.

byw my popping/creaking roof is worse now that they fixed it.

You might be right. The first messages they send definitely seem like it but once you PM them it is definitely a person.

Took my Bronco in this morning to get this addressed. The replacement doesn’t make any noise or move at all. Huge difference in comfort!

The center console it my least favorite part of the interior and I can believe more people are not complaining about it. It creeks constantly and moves side to side as you put weight on it. I find when off road or going around turns I use the console armrest to brace and stabilize myself and it’s not stable or confidence inspiring at all.

Anyone feeling like we need a more solid center console or have ideas on ways to fix this?

I wonder if I can get mine warrantied. I didn't notice it until few months, or weeks later. I have a manual so my arm is always on or hitting the arm rest.

Did they say if there was a TSB about it or anything?

they did not. But I will say the fix has lasted this entire time. No more noise so it was certainly a faulty part.
