No problems here. 4 months into ownership and 9,100 miles. The Mid-Life Crisis is cruising and making the brand look good. I keep getting thumbs ups from everybody on the road.

Have you posted pictures of your Bronco? The profile picture looks nice.
Dents in hood that you noticed at initial pickup from the dealer? Who the hell is responsible if not Ford?
Confused, why didn’t you just wait at the dealer for them to replace your battery? Takes a couple minutes?

Oof. Sorry to hear that! Hope you get it back soon.
Yes, there is a build thread and one in the exterior mod section.

Get it back from the dealership after they fix it and go sell it ASAP. You can get 100k if you play your cards right.Update: Got the car back yesterday. Today it broke down in the middle of an intersection. Because it was electrical, I could not even push it to the side of the road. Wicked dangerous. Third time broken down. Errors messages:

I have screen shots of many more, but they did not register. I would love to fill out the forms for a Lemon Law, but they would only give me back the $59K that I paid and not the current market value.

September 18 now. Took delivery on December 8, 2022. 19,617 miles. The hill holder clutch error has popped up 4 times. I now put the battery on a charger once or twice a week. Usually takes 90 minutes to get to 100%. It sounds crazy, but it seems to help that fault. That's it. I've thoroughly wrung this thing out on and off road. My only complaint is the rock throwers, though they are quiet for mud terrain tires on road.

I had a weird hood ajar warning on the highway one time, went away but was very annoying, beeping like crazy at me. It stayed on for about 2-3 mins and has never come back. Very early on in ownership I got a Service Engine light and the idle of the bronco was slightly inconsistent, dropping lower than usual. Drove it back home, turned off and back on and it was fixed, but definitely strange. I have not had the issue come back since.
Lastly, i think the most dangerous issue was the windshield wipers slowing down, about 20-30 seconds of use. I would have the flip the wiper stock back and forth to reset it, dangerous in heavy rain/snow. For whatever reason, this issue has seemed to have gone away (knock on wood) I was camping on Labor Day weekend and got caught in heavy rain, the wipers never seemed to slow down but I dont trust it.
