Yes. While not a good substitute, the seat heater roasts my arse to the point I forget my frozen feet.
Haha well said and so true 🤣

If only there were another topless option on the market (that wasn't a Wrangler), I'd be all over it in a heartbeat. This entire Bronco-ordering experience has seriously soured me.

You're totally fine I don’t take it personally. Just trying to be helpful here when I can. I get how it could have seemed condescending.
What?!?! A peaceful resolution? Get outta here with that. I just popped some corn.

  1. Driver's floor: limited airflow. I suspect that it's "leakage" air around an incorrectly-connected duct, since it seems to trickle out forward of where I would expect, and weakly.
  2. Passenger's floor: good airflow. Seems to be functioning properly.
  3. Driver's side rear floor: very weak airflow. A whisper.
  4. Passenger's side rear floor: no airflow at all. Nada.
  5. During the test, the side air vents were at maximum output. Who needs a hair dryer?
Well, looks like I have a fix-it item.

But think of all the technical info you'll have once it shows up!
Yep. With 2 years to read complaints while I wait, I'll be able to nit-pick the shit out of it in no time at all.

Same experience. No airflow under rear seats. Took mine to the dealer. They had no clue whatsoever how to fix. They claimed to have contacted Ford hotline, who told them it was “characteristic” of the vehicle. Nonsense. Something is wrong.

I suspect Ford will be forced to address this sooner or later, once enough people experience the same problem.

Hi there. Can you send us a DM with your VIN and Dealership name and location? I’ll see how I can assist on my end.

That’s the thing, though. When we do that (those of us who have this issue), all the air comes out the defroster and side vents and still doesn’t go to the floor…
Now that I think of it, that has happened a couple of times early on. Must be a wonky deflector somewhere.

Cold feet here too and zero heat come out under the front seats for the rear. I think they’re fake ducts. People on here say they aren’t hooked up but they looked and felt hooked up to me. Lot of people complain about it on here.
