Manual transmission produces rotational grinding noises when ambient temperatures drop below 50F. Vehicle located in Florida, so any visit to Ford dealer to provide warranty service cannot find a problem. Any complaints on difficult shifting are ignored. This problem if left alone will result in catastrophic failure while driving and may lead to accident.

When starting engine cold if ambient temperatures are below 50F, scraping and grinding sound comes from manual transmission while in neutral, 1st or 2nd gear while clutch is engaged. After warming up noise is going away.

Battery charge, over heated, failed power train, and failed 4x4 happened all within seconds of each other. We were on a 2 lane hwy where there was very little room to pull off the main road. It was Christmas Eve and we were about 60 miles from home. We had to pay around $400 dollars to have it towed home and it was freezing outside while we waited.

Ford is experiencing a problem under normal driving conditions on multi year Broncos (21' to current) that have very limited miles - with regards to the front pinion seal leaking badly (noticed during a routine oil change) and it appears to be IMHO a design flaw that not only impacts the seal but also the front differential, internal parts and possibly the axle. Any disruption to the drive train has the potential beyond just rendering the vehicle inoperable, ..while driving in 2 or 4WD conditions, the impacts could be widespread. IMHO, Ford needs to look at the design and redesign and test. This has also happened multiple times on the same vehicle (from Bronco6G forum reports). In addition to the recall - Ford should immediately publish a TSB on this as wel

1st Issue: Antilock brake failure Brand new 2022 Bronco purchased mid Dec with around 2000 miles in February the brakes failed to stop with the pedal to the floor at traffic light and finally all 4 wheels locked up skidding into traffic. Luckily no accident. Repaired took 3 weeks to get the part. 2nd Issue: May 1st Powertrain malfunction at 3000 miles pulled up to a stop sign the engine shut off. Finally after 30 minutes the engine started back. Drove it straight to Ford Service dept. Telling me today the part they need is on indefinite backorder. Prior to the failure no lights came on, but the Ford Pass App showed them. Powertrain Malfunction, Antilock fault, Hill assist warning, and pre collision assist not available. Dealership thought is an app issue and couldn-??t repair unless the lights came on. In both cases the warning lights came on after the fact.

New Ford Bronco with a 7-speed manual has transmission scraping noises.

- Midway, KY, USA

Rear differential seal failure causing gear oil to leak out. Transmission failure of 5th gear to 6th gear synchro. The failure of the seal could have lead to on road failure of vehicle, luckily the vehicle was parked when leaking started. Transmission issue causes grinding of synchro leading to possible failure. The dealer has fixed both issues for now. No warning for either failure.

I have a 2022 Ford Bronco with a manual transmission. My Bronco was recently in the shop from 12.22.22-01.23.24 for service on the transmission due to the grinding noise I was hearing. Dealer notes- "Cause 7107 222371A 2021-2022 Bronco Manual Transmission: Replace the 5th and 6th Gear Synchronizer Rings, Includes Time To Remove And Install The Transmission". It's now 2.25.23 and I have an appointment with the dealer again due to a grinding noise & shifting issues.

Flat Towing 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor with 3.0 V6 engine. After connecting my Bronco to the motorhome and putting it in the tow mode the following will occur. About 45 mins after turning the ignition off and closing the doors the EBB (Electronic Brake Boost) in the Bronco shuts down leaving the Bronco without any brake boost and leaves the supplemental brake system ineffective. When first connecting the Bronco to the motorhome the brake boost is active and the supplemental brake system must be set to match, or it will lock up the brakes on the Bronco when you stop. After the boost shuts down the supplemental brake system cannot apply enough force to the Bronco brakes to assist in stopping and all at once it takes a much greater distance to stop the motorhome than it did when the boost was working.

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/
