11/28/2022 Build Week

[SoCalBronco92]

As expected my original delivery window (12/19-25) came and went. Never received an email updating me on a new delivery window but Ford Chat says new delivery window is 12/26-12/1.....still no rail car info so I'll believe it when I see it.

The thing has been built since 12/3 and has probably been getting beat on by the Michigan winter where I'm sure the battery has been drained, rodents are using the engine bay to keep warm, and the wiring used as their Holiday feast.

Looking forward to the condition it's in when it does finally arrive.

I just got the call and saw my 2023 Bronco Raptor in the flesh!!!!
I pick it up tomorrow night

Probably everyone’s battery going bad from sitting so long at the plant after being built. I’ll probably just go ahead and replace mine when it comes right away since I know it’s sat at the plant during the winter storm.

My Bronco was built and shipped same day, so do not think that's the case. That and everything else works, the starter just will not turn the engine at all.

Oh gotcha. Interesting.

The dealer is finally looking at it, so hopefully they have a diagnosis soon. Would stink if there is another issue happening with them. Fingers crossed it was just something wonky and not something like a full engine replacement.

So my husband spoke to our dealer. He checked and said that our bronco is still sitting in Michigan. Got shipped email on 12/5. Our first delivery estimate was 12/16-12/22, pushed to 12/20-12/26, and most recently 12/28-1/3…. It’s coming to Florida, so for sure it’s going to get pushed again.

I was hoping with the assembly line being closed for just a bit that would give them time to just get the Broncos out of the holding lot without adding more to it. But doesn’t seem like there’s been too much movement this week thus far. I’m sure the winter storm didn’t help, but cmon get them moving before they start piling up again.

Like a chump I sold my car! Real rookie move I have no plan to make a bad financial decision loan wise if it’s not delivered I am gonna take my money to Toyota. This is all my fault, I know, but I need to get to work.

I understand. They shouldn’t even provide estimates without a reason we are getting that estimate and why such a specific if they can’t actually deliver on it. I’m going to have to apply again for financing hitting my credit again and I’m sure I’ll be paying another .5% which is basically like stacking another 500 onto the price of the vehicle every time that happens.

I would post this as a separate thread. I'm not sure if this has been posted as a known issue especially with the new 2023s. Good luck and please share what you find.

First thing I did was start a new thread, not something that any one is aware of apparently.
Got it back though, apparently it's a U0146 error code (TCU related). I'm going to update my other post, but short of it is that there was a fault in communication from the TCU to the GWM that caused the vehicle's network to lock out. It's working now, no major issues apart from that.

Ah okay! I'm mainly on this thread because I'm waiting shipment. Glad they figured it out so quickly. Thanks for sharing the issue and resolution. Enjoy your Bronco!

Well I just checked with chat. After getting my delivery window pushed back twice, now it simply says TBD. She said it’s left the assembly plant and is waiting to be shipped via rail to Florida. I mean honestly, that at least is better than being told a window of 12/28-1/3 and knowing it’s still sitting in Michigan.

 

[angkho]

And I guarantee you that will be inaccurate too. I just checked and got the same email, but mine says 12/28-1/3, and I literally just checked with chat and now they aren’t even providing me with a window. It’s just TBD
