🛠 01/24/22 Build Week Group

[clintonic]

Yes, they picked me up fast from Lawrenceville.

Wife and I took the day off work Thursday. Picking Bronco up at 9:30AM. The weather is suppose to be partly sunny with a high of 78 degrees.

The weird thing is I keep thinking something is going to pop up to delay it. I guess it is just a little ptsd from this process.

You ain’t kidding I’m hoping to pick mine up tomorrow or Thursday otherwise my breakfast will resort to a more liquid diet

My dealer just sent me a little thing that says Status: Primary In Production, Secondary Produced.
Micro chip at plant on hold.

So we wait!

Same as of this morning.

@Aries91 and @REIMANOV looks like we're staying in Avon again tonight

I'm ready to go full Karen on this. I want to speak to the manager.

What would be the best way to get them to acknowledge this? Or better yet, address the situation, get out there and finish the builds that have been left behind?

Social media? All tweet @ Ford or @ Mike Levine all at once? Or a constant barrage of tweets at them until they respond?

I'm 100% serious, if someone has an idea and we can get together and execute, I would be all in. Ford needs to understand that the consumer of 2022 is a consumer that is resourceful and knowledgeable. How many of us know more than our salesman/dealership? Quite a few I would imagine.

We've seen Ice Mountain. We've seen our mods pop. We've got spreadsheets tracking weekly builds and trends. They cannot hide.

I’ve been trying social media same name on twitter and instagram as here. No one has said a peep of course. A few people with similar situations have liked or commented. But seems not to have worked. There is no incentive for them to say or do anything different I’m afraid. Feel free to pile on.

I showed it shipped on my tracker. I was given a railcar # by my dealer and tracked it from Wayne. MI to Alliance, TX. It was unloaded yesterday and delivered to the dealership this morning—rapid turnaround.

What day did it show shipped? Trying to figure out a timeline for me in Louisiana. From the spreadsheet it looks like we show built on the same day but I didn’t change to shipped until the 18th. I’m fighting the urge to track it but I also just want my damn Bronco.

I was planning to send a very thought out letter to some of the executive team via email however haven't had a chance to compose that yet. That said, I may not make it past their spam filters or they may not even read it.

So I just talked to my friend that works at Michigan assembly Plant and he told me they are still currently waiting on semiconductor chips which is not really the main issue. they’re also having a shortage of airbags. The airbags that were placed in the Broncos (1/24-26/22)are faulty so on top of the semiconductors being faulty the airbags are faulty as well. So this is why probably people that were built during those days are not seeing much movement.

It doesn’t look like I had a shipped date. Never got an email either.

I’ve had updates on my rail car for the last week, but as of yesterday I have no status….. anyone know what this might mean?

 

[mitruckguy]

My Bronco was delivered last Tuesday and I finally got a chance to pick it up last night! It was a 1/27 blend date and 2/9 build.

this makes so much more sense since it would be relatively easy to simply go plug in some mods so we should all be seeing more movement. i have to imagine that replacing airbags takes a ton more time than plugging in some mods.
