Was driving on the turnpike today and all of the sudden my chimes, brake light, and notification screen popped up saying "Check Break System" while driving at 76 mph. I started to slow down then pulled off to the shoulder. I shut off the car completely for a couple of minutes then restarted it. Still the notification and chimes, lights came back on. So I headed straight to my dealer and dropped it off. As I was driving it there I noticed burning break pad smells and sluggish drive. Has anyone else experience this issue yet?? Hopefully they can sort out this problem.

Fortunately they had another Bronco for a loaner car, a 2dr Badlands in Cyber Orange. It has been interesting driving it and glad I built mine the way I did.
If you are on the fence, definitely test drive both, for they have totally different feel to them.

The 4dr rides smoother over the bumps, you feel your seated higher. It has an suv feel, the 2 door rides smooth as well but over bumps it feel like a jerking buck of a horse. It has a sporty feel and reminds me of my mustang I had. I also have a manual transmission in mine, the 2 door was an auto. I definitely recommend the manual.

What do you think of the B pillar placement? I hated it on the 4dr and expect the 2dr to solve that but I still haven't sat in one.
I’ve had my two door for a few weeks now and have put 1000 miles on it. My dealership finally got a four-door as a demo model, I went to get in it and really didn’t like the B pillar placement, the front door on the four-door is way smaller and not as easy getting into.

Anyone who has actually seen the color knows it’s nothing like a school bus. The picture above doesn’t do Co Justice. It color shifts depending on the light. But to each his own. It just gets annoying the amount of ignorance sometimes.
I have seen 3 different cyber orange broncos In person. It’s exactly, 💯 the color of a school bus with some metal flake in the paint.

As with EVERY 4 door I've ever owned.

My major concern is how Ford has an alarm that reads “ break” when the actual word is “ brake”, this according to the OP. Lol…sorry I tried but I just couldn’t resist .

I drove both, and prefer the more sporty feel of the two door.

As far as the problem goes, sounds like an abs sensor, but there have been so many weird warning light Christmas tree issues now that who knows.

It’s like they are scraping the bottom of the barrel for electronic components these days creating all kinds of mystery gremlins.
