Common problems with the 2024 Bronco Sport
NHTSA's file holds 116 owner complaints on the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport. Owners named the electrical system most often: 27 complaints. A complaint can name more than one component.

Mileage when owners reported a problem with the 2024 Bronco Sport
The 17 mileages owners gave run from 200 to 114,000 miles, and half are at or under 15,000. With fewer than 20 mileages this page gives the median only: the other percentiles are too few to say. 2 came after 100,000 miles, none after 150,000 and none after 200,000.
These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 2024 Bronco Sport wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.
Most of these reports came early in the vehicle's life: 15 of the 17 came at or under 100,000 miles, so they say nothing about how many miles a 2024 Bronco Sport can cover.
Complaint mileage also follows a model year's age: the 2024 has had less time to cover miles than older years, so its figures will rise as it ages.
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Lowest mileage listed | 200 miles |
| 25th percentile | Too few to say |
| Median (50th percentile) | 15,000 miles |
| 75th percentile | Too few to say |
| 90th percentile | Too few to say |
| Highest mileage listed | 114,000 miles |
| Complaints after 100,000 miles | 2 of 17 |
| Complaints after 150,000 miles | none |
| Complaints after 200,000 miles | none |

Is the 2024 Bronco Sport a good year?
Complaint counts cannot say whether the 2024 is a good or a bad Bronco Sport: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 2024 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.
With 116 complaints, the 2024 ranks 4th of the 5 Ford Bronco Sport model years from 2021 to 2025 with 10 or more complaints, counting from the most. The most: the 2021 (716). The fewest: the 2025 (41).
The 2024 is a recent model year: it has had less time than older years to collect complaints, so its count is still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.
| Model year | Owner complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 Bronco Sport | 716 | 202 | 40,000 |
| 2022 Bronco Sport | 371 | 73 | 33,000 |
| 2023 Bronco Sport | 163 | 45 | 25,000 |
| 2024 (this page) | 116 | 17 | 15,000 |
| 2025 Bronco Sport | 41 | 8 | Under 10 mileages |

What these figures can and cannot tell you
- Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
- The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
- They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 2024 Bronco Sport lasts.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 2024 Bronco Sport.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
- 99 of the 116 complaints on the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport give no usable mileage (blank, zero, a filler such as 999999, or over 500,000) and are left out of every mileage figure.
- NHTSA name counted: BRONCO SPORT. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only this one.
- Recall-file name matched: BRONCO SPORT.
