12k is a lot different than 25k.
I have had mine a year with almost 24k on it and have had no issues at all. Drives great and is a blast!

12k is nothing. 25k is nothing. If it's this bad at 25k miles, get rid of the thing. Any decent vehicle would still be perfect at 25k miles.

True, mine had issues in the first week of ownership.

3300@ the shop. Manual transmission is garbage and hundreds are making scraping noises. Hopefully a fix is in the works?

So far so good with my 23 outer banks. Just passed 500 miles and 6 days.

Post like this are starting to scare me. Picked up my 22 BD early January and already discovered a leak (only 1k on it). Dealer believes it is coming from the torque converter. I've noticed strange smells and grinding sounds coming from the transmission too. Hoping I don't have a lemon. Loved this car sense Ford introduced it but the F150 loaner im currently driving seems like the better idea.

Dang. Sorry to hear that. I assume this is an honest review of your own Bronco. I hope these are isolated and not across the board. Just picked up my 2023 badlands sas high package and im only at 600miles and loving it. But at the same time. I am hearing stories left and right similar to yours and thinking its only a matter of time before it starts happening to me. It seems inevitable but hoping that they have worked out some of the issues since 2021. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully you can get out of it and not be too under on it.

Just turned over 10,000 miles on my Badlands. No issues whatsoever.

$55k, just because it's got matte black ppf.

In good conscience- how can you sell such a piece of shit for 55k????

I keep reading about these manual transmission issues… I’m at 3200 on my basemansquatch- it’s been flawless so far. Hope I’m not in a ticking time bomb

Why should I lose money on it? Clearly there are a lot of fanboys ok with the issues.

Couple people have dropped in to say their manuals are flawless as well. There are definitely several hundred of us with the issue. Mostly been just a noise for most. couple have turned into performance issues. Mine included. We are just diddling our thumbs until FORD acknowledges and corrects the defects.

Essentially, it's the biggest piece of shit I've ever owned and my first vehicle (38 years ago) was a Ford Pinto.

At 7k miles I had to have a motor put in it. Right now it's in the shop again for the following reasons:

The soft top is falling apart; getting a new one installed.
New front drive shaft from the recall.
Low washer fluid indicator has never worked. (The service advisor tried to tell me it didn't have one because my Badlands w/ Sas & Lux was too low end of a Bronco.)
The rattles are so bad my wife had to wear headphones coming back from Texas last week.
And the biggest issue, in my head, it literally sounds like it's gonna blow up when you get up to 85mph.

I had a 95 Jeep Wrangler for 10 years, all sorts of mods done to it. This 2021 vehicle has the same shitty build quality, it's louder, and it's just a complete disappointment.

Bitch session over. Good luck, all.

That sucks. I'm at 12k and the only thing that bugs me is this weird creaking sound coming from the back at slower speeds on rougher roads-can't figure that one out. Other than that, its been great!

 

[bronco0311]

I am at 10k miles and have owned it for 14 months and not a single issue. Soft top, too, that I put up and down about 5 days a week on average.

Sorry to hear about your's and it seems you got a lemon.

 

[BC overlanding]

That suck I got 24,500 at 11 month, few normal 1 gen bugs but nothing major. Running strong with 2 trips to FL 2 trips to Moab and 1 trip to CO,WY, and MT . 22 Badland SAS w/ Lux better luck on the next vehicle hopefully
