I am part of a large number of individuals ~200+ documented experiencing scraping noises in our 7 speed manual transmissions. Most of us can't get service done due to part supply issues and labor shortages. The bigger concern is FORD is replacing same parts that are being damaged which doesn't address the root cause of the issue and its not solving problem because it comes back shortly after service. The noise is mostly only heard in temps below 50 per FORD TSB 22-2371. People are complaining that regardless of new transmissions and TSB service the noise still comes back while most of us are waiting months to even get the repairs performed. There has been no official resolutions. The noise is a safety concern in that if the transmission fails a bronco filled with a family could be stuck in a dangerous situation unable to move the vehicle in gear on the highway or similar situation along with these are brand new people complaining day 1 they bring these 7 speed manual transmission models home on 21s, 22's and now 23's. FORD just keeps sending them to customers with same defective transmissions we have and the problem is growing quickly also since it is winter and more are out there the number is growing quicker. I have tons of videos, documentation and a community of 200 plus individuals who own 7MT Broncos with the issue. I have spreadsheets from the community of builds and user names as well as photos of internal damage and reports of noise coming back. Very good documentation. please take this seriously.

2022 Ford Bronco that I've owned for about 2-3 weeks. Started it up and went to drive off this morning, and I received a '"Check 4x4" error, followed by "Service Vehicle Soon". This ultimately has locked the vehicle into 4WD-High and makes it not only more difficult to drive, but is also prematurely wearing tires as it's driven and adding a lot of unnecessary stress to the vehicle as corners are taken. I've taken it to the local Ford dealership, where they weren't able to pull any useful codes or information for a quick fix unfortunately. As I've researched into this further, this sounds like a frequently occurring issue; wherein a problem with an axle solenoid or a powertrain control module seems likely blames.

Bronco has less than 43 miles. Took vehicle on highway and went to go pass a semi and the vehicle lost all power. This could of caused a wreck if there was someone behind me trying to pass the semi as well. Took back to the Dealership and the turbo failed on my brand new Bronco. Please see Bronco6G for someone who is logging a list of other members that had similar issues. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/2-3-2-7-failed-turbo-list-7-counting-slowly-working-on-list.59162/

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made abnormally loud knocking sounds. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with metal shavings in the engine oil and filter. The dealer performed an oil change and informed the contact that the two transmission pumps and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60.

my vehicle lost power on the GW bridge in NYC. It has less than 1000 miles and the power, driving at 60 mph just died. To add insult to injury Ford (24hr roadside assistance told me that there were no tow truck available at this time). When my car was finally towed, vis a vie a 3rd party, to the nearest dealership, I was told that because I didnt buy my car there, there was nothing I could do but wait a "few weeks". Ford 24 hr road side assistance really left me out to dry. I wish and am looking for ways to sue them. Luckily, my responsible dealer at Lester Glenn Ford on Rt 35 was able to assist and is making every accommodation to help. Thank goodness for them and their restless souls for helping with this. I literally have less than 1000 miles on the Badlands 2.7 V6, and when this happened, I didnt know what to do. Disappointing. But Lester Glenn is so far amazing at the response.
