Thank you for this my friend. Wise words about the current situation. I'm guessing that many now with May EDDs (like myself as of tonight...originally with a Valentines Day delivery) will be pleasantly surprised when things show up sooner than expected etc.I can tell you as someone who works at a Ford dealership, we have no additional information to share yet, unfortunately. We have 19 Bronco in “production” stage, and all got flipped to “Micro Chip At Plant On Hold” today. A handful of employees have Bronco on order, so we are frustrated too.Chip shortages are a global problem as you are aware. This isn’t Ford’s fault. This is a problem most automakers have never faced before. Their process may be flawed, and been difficult, perhaps impossible, to plan around.
I will post if I see any changes in the hold status.
Well, I don’t have to worry about my EDD anymore. Finally posted this afternoon as 21 May…off to Ice Mountain, see you on the other side.
Amen. I ordered mine 8 months ago myself. Dealership employees have no advantages in case you were wondering
What isn't Ford's fault? They haven't told us anything. We have to piece this together on our own. Any misplaced blame or misconceptions are because Ford is keeping us in the dark.
Ok, that's forever long now, where nothing populated a couple days ago. Taking that as a good sign. But no EDD...? I see everyone talking about being pushed, but I don't even have one?
It has been established that they have already told us a lot more than most automakers have done in the same position.
Yes and also added to that is Ford doesn't tell the dealers anything. My dealer is completely in the dark as well. If Ford doesn't want to mass message folks then allow the dealers to deliver messages to customers as to the whys and why nots.
If you look past the bar under vehicle details there isn't an EDD?
I think you posted in the wrong forum?
