I bought the Big Bend model in June, and within a few days, the information display went blank. It came back on, but it has gone off and on for a month. I finally got an appointment to take it in last Friday after waiting 3 weeks. The service dept. had it from 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., and they couldn't replicate the issue. I gave them pictures of the blank screen from several different dates. I brought it back home. This morning, Monday, I started it up, and the information display was blank. I drove it straight to Ford and kept it running until the tech came out, plugged his computer into the car, and said "the computer" wasn't showing any problems. He said they will have to contact Ford to see what they want to do about it. Boo Hiss...I gave up my 2015 Ford Fusion that had next to zero problems during the 6 years I drove it for issues within days of purchase. UPDATE 9/4/2021: They replaced the instrument panel, and I've had no issues with it so far for the last month or so.

Just had the opportunity to drive the Badland edition, and I really liked it. I immediately dismissed it previously as a rebadged Escape, but I was surprised. Firstly, very good driving experience. The engine has good power, the steering has good feedback and great on-center feel, and it's refined. It felt really solid, and I was not expecting that at all. On the highway, I caught myself going over the speed limit many times due to its refinement. Comfortable interior, and really powerful heating/heated seats. I just really loved how solid it felt going down the road. The AWD system is really good! Turning off the stability control, it was really easy to get rotation in the snow. I had to drive it to the airport during a snow storm, and it felt so stable on the highway!!! The headlights are really good! Really, I wasn't expecting to like it so much since I drove a new Escape and it felt really different. I liked the stiff ride, as it imparted a solid feel to the vehicle. The driving position is great, and it looks great in person. Like a mini LR Defender. The sculpted hood is really cool to look at when driving. Lastly, I loved the size of it. Truly maneuverable and agile. In terms of downsides, the 2.0T seemed to really eat gas. Probably because of the aerodynamics and the good performance. Also, the speakers were truly mediocre. There was a very obvious rattle under heavy bass. Overall, I'd really recommend it. It's priced higher than other subcompact SUVs, but it truly feels more expensive due to its solidity, good performance, and solid driving dynamics. I'm a fan! Edit: The transmission calibration was significantly better than in the Escape. That was one of my biggest qualms I had with the Escape. In the Bronco Sport, it felt pretty well tuned.

I purchased my vehicle April 2021 with approximate 50 miles so brand new. When driving it vibrates sporadically. When I reverse in the morning it makes this loud hard noise which was scary at first. I tried to schedule an appointment they didnt have any and could not provide a loaner car. I’m at 5800 miles tried to make appointment through the app during the month of September there is no availability. I’m just going to go in tomorrow and hope to have some luck.
Questionable build quality

Bought the Bronco Sport and within a week I noticed some strange creaks and rattles. Long story short, had to have the entire transmission replaced and while the noises became more subtle/quieter they still existed. The windshield glass also started to crack. You’ll read on the forums about owner transmission problems along with the windshield glass being fragile. Bronco Sports are made in Mexico which is notorious for having quality issues. These vehicles are all looks and cheap short cuts underneath. I can’t see these vehicles having long term viability and no regrets about selling mine. Compared to its competitors, the BS build quality is really quite poor.

Have had the bronco sport for 4 months. The WIFI stopped working had to reboot entire computer system. Front fender mud flaps have both fallen off, bluetooth cuts in and out constantly, back window leaks water into the car every time it rains or go through car wash, tons of rocks are stuck in my rubber trim due to design flaw on car. Dont buy until they get it right. To top if off they want me to leave my car for a day or two and will not give me a replacement
