To begin, I love my Bronco. When I was a kid (there were black and white TV's then) my dad had a two door Bronco and we would (meaning me while he shifted) drive around the Anzo-Borrego. I finally was able to purchase a used 2022 Wildtrack Sasquatch (11,000 miles, score) and everything was great. Until, 3 months ago it started having issues, turn indicator didn't work, windows not working, then came the big stuff. Differential leak, 10 days at Ford, now she's in for front left differential axle housing bearing. I noticed a couple of weeks ago that the gas mileage (not always great) was dropping and then came the weird sound from the front end. She will be at Ford for probably a week or more by the time they get the part. I haven't even had the Bronco a year yet, bought last September, is this the trend?

I don’t think that is necessarily the trend. I have a 22 with almost 50k on it. Only thing I have done is put new tires on it. And normal maintenance.

I'm only at 14 k and have had zero problems.
And half it's mileage was trip's to Moab to wheel it.
Sorry your having these problems

Anzo-Borrego in a Bronco is an awesome memory; that area is beautiful. I'm sorry your original experience with Bronco has not carried over to the 6th gens.

My 2021 Bronco(s) have both been perfectly fine, and my first was a retired Off-Roadeo unit I bought, which was well-used by all sorts of levels of drivers on rough terrain. I'm closing in on 30k with the Bronco I traded the first for, and I've had the various recalls but no issues on the closed ones.

We've said it before, but it seems like owners either get a trouble-free unit or they get one that goes back to the dealership often. The diff leak is a known issue, and it's annoying to have to go in for it for sure, but I'd be most concerned with the weird stuff (and stuff not under warranty that's not typical wear and tear).

Well it’s good to know that there are other 2022 Bronco’s that are doing well. I have a 90,000/6 year extended warranty so I haven’t paid for anything. We may go to Sand Hollow this October and she’s going! Thanks again.
