Got my 2024 Bronco Sport Heritage in Robin's Egg Blue. I have been dreaming of owning one of these ever since I first saw one. Yesterday, the dream became a reality! I have only ever driven 4 door sedans, and I'm very excited to learn all about my new vehicle! 🩵

Do you guys remove the skid plate before taking the bronco sport in for an oil change? I keep seeing posts and reading reviews about mechanics stripping the bolts on the Skid plate or other issues after oil changes. So wondering if I should just remove mine so there’s less chance they’ll wreck it.

So i just got my brand new car, and now im in the cool people club with yall now. My last car was a 2013 and now im in a 2025 so all the new technology is a bit confusing to me as i enjoy analog tech more.

I’m running into a few problems and want to make modifications to the car and plan to make updates here as I go along.

1. No matter if I play my volume loud or relatively quiet the speakers in the car rattle in place and also rattle a lot of the plastic car door parts or dashboard parts. (or that’s my theory anyways).
   Does anyone know how to fix this problem and is it interior rattling or something wrong with the CarPlay or something on the digital end? Regardless there is a rattling sound whenever I listen to music and I plan to upgrade this car’s audio systems quite a lot, which leads to my next question

2. Does anyone know what are the best aftermarket audio systems for a 2025 Ford bronco sport Big Bend. I’m looking to replace all of the stock speakers as well as get a larger subwoofer and obviously I would need a good amp as well.

Bonus if anyone knows a good way for me to add extra speakers into the car besides ones in the stock locations. And does anyone know if it’s possible for me to install some kind of port so I can listen to corded lossless music plugged in via headphone Jack. I would also like to install a CD drive if possible.

I will keep everyone updated as I get more news and help from everybody. I think because of how new the car is aftermarket is looking pretty slim for me, but any advice will do. I’m thinking I’m going to have to make a bunch of custom parts with 3-D printing and after I finish the interior I plan on making the exterior looking nice and then taking the car all over California.

So proud to be one of the cool guys now, let’s go bronco sports fans 🥳

Ps sorry if I missed any typos, kind of a long post

What do y'all put in this weird angel side storage behind the second cup holder on door? Anything I put in there doesn't stay there.

My bronco loves to slam the breaks on while I am backing up despite not having any threat of hitting something. I will be full clear of anything and be reversing and BAM slams the breaks. It makes me feel like I hit something.

Can I turn that off. It’s happened a bunch of times and it’s sooo annoying.

I’m getting nervous about the coolant leak and the other problems that the older ones like mine are having, 2021 Big Bend. Thinking about a 2024 Blazer.

So I bought a bronco sport bronze package with the black diamond also leather seats. My question is I already seen a few imprints from like sitting on it in the seat what is a good protector to put over that so impressions don’t get into the leather when I’m driving all the time. I did buy the interior protection, but that’s just for spills and stains and things not impressions from me sitting on it so I did buy a memory foam pad that you just flop over it and just sit on it but I have a huge feeling that’s not gonna work and I might have to return it to Walmart. I ordered it online so if I get it, it doesn’t work hopefully, I can return it but whatever you guys use if you use something, let me know.

So just bought a 2021 Ford Bronco sport big bend on 9/13/26. Overtime I noticed the jerky low speed some people talked about, at first I thought it was my driving from being nervous with being back on the road after my car accident which lead me buy this vehicle. Last month I drove through the mountains it seems fine, the service now wrench came on during that drive but i didn’t notice anything wrong and then it went away. I honestly forgot about it when I got home.

Though now over this weekend I made the same trip and I noticed it struggled to go uphill and pushing the petal down barely helped much. After first I thought maybe cause I was driving in Eco so I switched to normal and didn’t help much. And the service now came back on. It drove fine once I was done going uphill. Which the wrench light disappeared after I turned it off and back on. I didn’t get extended warranty on it, it’s at 83,000 miles. What are the possibilities of why it did this and some things I should check.

I have a 24 Badlands with no carpet, but it came with carpet mats. The drivers mat is wearing through. I've looked at weather tech, very pricey. Ford also offers a mat set they list as "Molded from Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), a durable and pliable material that holds its shape in demanding conditions." This doesn't sound like it is a rubber mat ? Can anyone recommend a rubber mat for Bronco sport?

Just recently took my 25 BS BB in for a 1.5” lift and just as soon as I got it back it started making buckling/knocking noises. Took it back to the shop, said it was loose bolts so they retorqued everything and it was fine for a day. Over the weekend it got worse. Took it back today and the shop like you gotta let it settle and I’m like my mother and a friend of mine both had the same lift done and no noises from there so something is wrong besides it needs to settle.

Hey y’all! 2022 bronco sport badlands owner here! Been loving my experience so far, but recently I noticed that sometimes when I turn, the car makes a sort of rusty grinding noise. It also jerks sometimes when I accelerate. I tried taking it to my local ford dealer but they said it was fine. It’s clearly not lol. Anyone else experience this? I’m currently at 90,000 miles 🙃

Do the 2026 Badlands still have the same Rear Differential Unit (RDU) as past versions? Most of my research is saying that it is an identical RDU to all the other years of the Badlands. Considering how many people have had issues with the RDU, like me on my 4th RDU, it seems crazy to me that Ford has not done something to correct it. Anyone have any advanced knowledge?

Im looking to replace my 22' Badlands, and the local dealer has an amazing deal on a 26' Badlands. But with my history of continuous RDU's going bad and needing replaced, I'm nervous about buying a new car with the same issue. Which overall really sucks, because the Badlands is really the best SUV on the market for me.

Just got my 26 Bronco sport about a month ago. It didn't come with a cargo mat like some others. I was able to get a mat for free with the Ford reward points. Definitely a great buy!

Hey everyone, trying to figure out a weird sound my Bronco Sport is making.

I just got the car earlier this week—it's a 2025 Ford Bronco Sport Outer Banks.

Right when I start the vehicle, it plays a very high-pitched, fast alarm/beeping sound. It beeps exactly 5 times and then stops.

The weird part is that it plays at the same time as the normal Ford startup chimes, so the main audio/stereo system is working fine and the battery seems healthy. It sounds like a secondary warning or a backup cluster speaker is overlapping the main chimes.

Also, I noticed that the auto start-stop engine feature hasn’t seemed to be kicking in at all since I got it. I'm not sure if that's related to the startup beep or just a separate coincidence.

Any insight would be awesome, thanks!

Less than 2 months in and and the CEL turned on last night blinking. Engine sputtering on both acceleration and deceleration. Im having it towed tomorrow. Anyone had this problem? Im thinking prolly engine misfire or clogged throttle body. Would love to get your thoughts

Pic for attention

Has anyone ever had a pressure test done and it was not the water pump? I am taking mine in the morning and I’m hoping.

Months ago I saw [u/greenth](u/greenthumb)[mb](u/greenthumb) had done this with his Bronco and I wanted to do it since I had seen his post. Well, today was the day. It’s not perfect, I’ll need to touch up around the front sensors tomorrow, but overall I’m very happy with the look.

Desert Sand was my second choice but she's a beauty. Happy to be here and looking forward to combing through the archives.

My baby got a dent🥲🥲🥲
Just noticed this damage on the back door of my car. Could someone have opened their door into mine? Any guesses on repair costs? Does the door need to be replaced?

After starting my 21 big Bend 1.5l this noise started to happen. Turning the engine off instantly and the noise continues. Disconnected the battery and the sound goes away. Sounds like a solonoid chattering but after looking at several different solinoids on this vehicle nothing looks like it would be the cause of this noise. Anyone else experiencing this one.

Wife and I picked up this 2026 Big Bend 2 months ago and have been absolutely loving it. Just threw on the winters and rims and it looks 10x better with a slightly more rugged tire.

I recently noticed a change in my heated steering wheel where now at most it gets is lukewarm and dissipates very quickly.

I only got the vehicle a few months ago, so I wasn't sure if maybe there was a software update with others experiencing the same thing?

I remember it being very powerful when first I tested it.
