clicking, mechanical noise footwell area.. video is me in a parking lot going in normal circles not tight circles

[John94]

My dealership said it’s normal due to weight distribution when making a U Turn over bumps or downhill U Turn. They are ordering a clock spring part to try remedy but it’s on back order. This noise is not a normal noise for new vehicle with 19K miles.

LMAO absolutely not normal.

My Bronco, My buddies Bronco, My mothers Bronco

None of ours make this noise.

God I love how much dealerships lie.

For what its worth, I think maybe this is CV joint related?

My brand new 2023 badlands 2.7l makes a noise when I walk up to it or unlock it. Its like an actuator or something that is turning on. It’s definitely a slight clicking sound followed by a slight hmm sound and then it stops. Lasts about 5 seconds then stops. This all happens before I even turn the engine on. I figured this was normal and just the vehicle getting ready to turn on? Is this not normal. It dosnt happen when driving. Only when Im about to turn the vehicle on. 340miles on the dash as of now.

traction turned off,, taking a left onto a side street...
22 model 2 door 2.7 with 199 miles

Did you get this figured out? Mine is lifted with larger tires so wondering the same. Exact same sound. Thought it might be the ABS trying to engage

Yes, that is normal. Essentially 'waking up' the Bronco.
What OP is experiencing is not normal.

Did anyone get a resolution to this issue? I have the same problem and was reading about using ForScan to update the software to accommodate larger tires and relearning the ABS module etc. any help appreciated

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.

Hello FMC. I’m experiencing the same noise. The tech at my dealership (Fullerton Ford) think it’s the ABS module actuating but the noise still occurred without traction control on. It’s a clunky noise when making a left U-Turn. My vin # is 1MFDE5AP6NLA76349. Video attached. Thank You.

Heard the same noise for the first time while parking. I thought it’s the internal ac vents actuating to on off position. Not sure what’s going on

Did Ford ever respond to you in regards to noise?

Fyi, to completely turn off TC, you have to hokd the button down for like 5 seconds....maybe try that?

I have the same issue with my 2023 Ford Bronco Badlands. Only the lift front side and when turning sharply. My noise started the first time I went off-road, under 1000 miles. The dealer was unable to reproduce the sound, so they did nothing. It's so embarrassing to give my family and friends rides while it makes this horrible noise. Please Ford, fit this!

I have the same noise. Trying to upload the video.

I’m positive it’s an ABS issue. Happens a lot when stopping on slick ground and ABS engages.

have larger tires and am lifted; but sound happened well before I had lifted the vehicle.
