Top Most Ford Bronco Issues
1. Transmission Issues
One of the most frequent issues reported by Ford Bronco owners is trouble with the transmission. The Bronco’s automatic transmission system has been plagued by troublesome shifting, fluid leaks, torque converter problems, transmission control module (TCM) failure, and transmission overheating. These problems manifest in ways like slipping, hesitating, or not engaging properly, and in severe cases, can cause the transmission to fail.
2. Fuel System Problems
Another problem reported by Ford Bronco owners is issues with the fuel system. Some owners have claimed that the vehicle has trouble starting or the engine stalls unexpectedly. Additionally, some drivers have indicated that the vehicle’s fuel tank is smaller, which results in frequent stops to refuel. However, the most common issue with the fuel system is the fuel gauge malfunction. Failure of this component results in the wrong indication of the amount of fuel available, leading to the vehicle running out of fuel unexpectedly.
3. Engine Trouble
Catastrophic engine breakdowns are a common problem for Bronco owners. An issue with the valve train was identified as the cause of the engine failure instances. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has already received nearly fifty reports and opened an independent investigation. Ford could be forced to issue a recall.
Other Issues
In addition to the above, Bronco owners have encountered issues including rattles and squeaking noises, corners breaking off, water leaks, panel gaps, rubbing against body panels, rough edges, and mismatched colors. Common problems with the 2023 Ford Bronco faced by owners also include whistling hood, speaker buzz, tire issues, backup camera issues, and soft-top roll bar scrapes.

Despite these issues, it’s important to note that the Ford Bronco is a relatively new model, and it’s not uncommon for new models to experience some teething problems. Ford is likely to address these issues in future iterations of the Bronco.
